Most Helpful Reviews on The First Years Breastflow Bottle
- (5/5) – 12/18/2008 – … We had no issues with going between breast and bottle because they require the same latching as on a breast. I think this also helped with gas and overfeeding since the baby controls the flow…. (read more and buy it at Amazon.com)
- (2/5) – 2/16/2011 – … The double nipple system is supposed to allow the baby to control the flow, what results however is that the outer nipple fills with milk and then collapses while the baby continues to suckle-and that makes (our) baby MAD…. (read more and buy it at Amazon.com)
- (5/5) – 9/1/2010 – … All parts break apart to clean super easy and it really simulates breatfeeding since it takes more work (much like what the breast does)…. (read more and buy it at Diapers.com)

- (5/5) – 8/11/2011 – … no complaints with powder other than it will splatter during shaking unless you use the cap or storage lid, but to me this is to be expected this bottle is designed for babies who are breast fed and need supplemental feeds, so it was not designed to use with powder…. the only complaint we have is, I wish they had the inner and outer nipples for sale separately we only need to replace the nipples because the inner ones wore and didn’t fare as good in the dish washer, and they do not sale replacement bottle caps at all….
