I’m gonna breastfeed and pump so I’m using bottles as I want my husband to experience feeding our baby also. Which brand would you recommend? Thanks!

I’ve used both. I used the Avent bottles with my second son and there were no problems other than the bottles leak. With my 3rd son I started him out on the Avent bottles, but he would get a lot of gas so we tried using the Playtex drop ins where you can squeeze out the air and those work great. He loves them and there’s no bottles to wash and sterilize…just the nipples.
I’m going to be using the playtex ventair.
I have tried both actually & there’s no doubt about it: AVENT bottles!!!
the ventaire bottles are hard to assemble & the nipples are really hard, my baby absolutely refused them & they turned out o be a total waste of money. They have that nice-looking bend (that’s all it is nice-looking) but make total mess. Our car got milk spilt all over it coz the end came off while my baby was feeding. Plus the AVENT have an excellent microwave sterilizer & if u need to pump, you can get their breast pump onto which all the bottles can screw directly on & u directly refrigerate them & then later give to your baby & u can sterilize it in their sterilizer too. good luck!!
I’d go with the drop ins since they are the only bottles I know of that are BPA free.. but I believe avent is making some soon too
I used the playtex drop ins and I love them. I would go that way.
Playtex Drop-Ins are the absolute BEST!
They are so convienent, easy to clean, reduces colic, helps with fussiness, and gets virtually all the air out so there are no tummy aches! Plus, the nipple that comes with the Drop-In is most like Moms Breast!
I FULLY recommend these bottles! They are simply the best, hands down!
