Tommee Tippee Review

   When deciding which baby bottles to use with my daughter I did quite a bit of research. My one of my  first bottle purchases I decided to try out were the Tommee Tippee bottles. After reading about them being designed by breastfeeding experts I chose these bottles specifically for the shape of the nipple and Tommee Tippees statement of their nipples were the closest match to a mothers breast. Since I was planning on breastfeeding I felt Tommee Tippee bottles were as close to the shape of a  breast that I could find out in the market. I didn't mind the super-wide shape of the bottles although they did make them a little bulky for the diaper bag. Once my daughter arrived and I began to try out the bottles the issues began. 
   
 The biggest issue I had with the bottles was the collapsing nipples! Every time my daughter attempted to eat not even five minutes into her feeding from them they would collapse and she would begin to cry. Another big issue I was having with this was the leaking. Now, when I say leaking I mean not only from the bottle itself but my daughter had the hardest time getting a good latch with the nipples which caused a constant leak out of the side of her mouth. I always had to have a burp cloth handy to wipe her face, chin and neck several times throughout the feeding. It was my first child, so when she was constantly spilling milk out of the side of her mouth, I thought it was normal, until I saw other babies weren't having that same issue. I contacted the company and they sent me an email reply giving me tips and tricks to try to work out the issues we were having. We struggled for 6 weeks with no progress until I couldn't take it anymore. As soon as I changed the bottle all the dribbling and collapsed nipples stopped! 
   
 I was truly disappointed with these bottles  I would not recommend this product to others until they make some changes to their design of the bottles and nipples. I bought them truly thinking it would be the best to alternate between while breastfeeding but in fact it was just a costly mistake. I do hope that they fix the design because I do like their other products just not pleased with their bottles.
