I purchased these bottles when pregnant planning to breastfeed and express. Unfortunately my milk supply never came in properly so I’ve had to take up formula feeding. You can tell from the design of these bottles that they are not formula feeding friendly and were designed to be exclusively used with expressed breastmilk. The top of the bottle is too narrow to fit a formula scoop comfortably so you spill formula everywhere, these bottles do not like to be shaken to mix formula- it will leak everywhere, you need to swirl to mix, also the bottle concaves in itself with boiling water because the plastic is very thin. After three months of use the bottles are looking a bit worn with the measurements already rubbing off the side of the bottle. They are useable but just not amazing. They would have been easier to use with expressed breastmilk, but at the same time I do believe a bottle is a bottle and they should be able to be used with either type of milk.

I purchased this back after having great success with the bottles for pumping however I didn't rate these bottles. I found these wide base ones constantly leaked and when baby would suck too hard on the teat it pulled out a bit. I think some improvement is needed on the teat but do like the bottles.

We prefer using the wide teat with our baby. He latches onto the teat a lot better than the other ones in the Medela range. The bottles and trays are made from a good material and retain their quality after multiple washes. Sometimes if the teat is not secured properly it will leak.
