Bottle feeding - what brand doesn't leak everywhere?

Apr 15·1 min read

We're switching to bottle feeding and I've tried three different brands and every single one seems to leak all over me when I'm holding the baby. My sister swears by Tommee Tippee but they're expensive and I don't want to drop a bunch of money if they're just gonna spray milk all over my shirt too. Wife is pumping and we have like two days worth stored up so I need to figure this out fast. Any dad hacks for this or do I just accept that I'm gonna smell like milk for the foreseeable future?

Bottles leak if you don't get the nipples on right or if they're not compatible with the base. We had the same frustration. Which brands did you try? Some are way better than others.

Have you checked that the nipple threads are matching properly with the bottle? Sounds basic but misalignment causes most leaks. Also some nipple flows work better than others depending on your baby's preference.

We went through like five different options before landing on one that worked. It's frustrating because marketing makes them all look the same. Pro tip: ask at the pediatrician's office what other parents use in your area. Real advice works better than reviews.
