Fantastic Bottles
I bought these bottles, kind of begrudingly. I had tons of AVENT bottles left over from my son when he was a baby just 2 years ago, but with all the press over the danger of BPA bottles, I decided I should not risk it and go with new ones. We had sterilized and microwaved our AVENT bottles A LOT and even though they weren't cloudy, I would never forgive myself if my daughter ended up with problems. So, I bought a whole set of these Born Free bottles. So glad I did. The bottles have a unique air vent system and my daughter has literally had very little gas. We even find it hard to get her to burp after feeding. They seem to be a much better product and something in the unique vent system helps her remain comfortable and happy after eating. She is six weeks old now and doing great!

Bisphenol-A free bottles, at a price
We bought these bottles for our six month old solely because they are free of bisphenol-A. As it turns out, they're great bottles in their own right.

Pros:

* They don't leak (unlike Dr. Brown's), even when resting upside down in a bag.
* Easy to hold. I was put off by the large circumference but as it turns out our son has an easier time gripping the BornFree than smaller bottles.
* Easy to clean.
* Venting system actually works.

Cons:

* Price. If concern over bisphenol-A someday turns out to be a false alarm, I'm going to feel pretty silly spending this much per bottle (nearly $10).
* Size. The large circumference is a trade off. While it does make the bottle easier to hold, it means you can store fewer bottles in a small bag.

Also, be aware that the nipple is very large. It's fine for a six month old, but for an infant who's still learning to breast feed you might need to look elsewhere.

Overall we're very happy with the BornFree bottles.

Great bottles
When I first tried these out I had my doubts that they would work out okay (I had been using Avent and have used Dr Brown in the past). They take a little more time to put together than the Avent and babies don't like to wait when they're hungry! However once I got a system down (I put the two vent pieces together and the nipple/collar/cap together in advance and store them in separate bins where I prepare the bottles) I came to really like them. I instantly got less burps than with the Avent and the Dr Brown and they don't leak like the Avent.

They've gone through the drop test onto a hardwood floor just fine and they quickly passed the most important test: my son took to them right away. He seems to find the shape easy enough to hold now and then. I also like that the caps are easier to center on the nipple than the Avent.

One warning: I tried out the "6 month+ Y Flow" nipples but my son vetoed them instantly. I unwisely had bought a number of nipples which (for now) he won't use. I get a little use out them with my two year old who takes the occasional bottle.

Other than that I'm sold - a better bottle than what I had been using (minus a little ramp time getting used to them) and of course they are BPA free.
