Botol Susu Review - my own experience

 
Zaman skrg ni, semua mesti cr yg BPA free, then Anti-colic bottle kan?. Antara brand yg quite famous kat Malaysia ni ialah Avent, MAM and Tomee Tippee As for this second pregnancy, dah beberapa lama jugakla dok meng-usha online stores yang jual botol susu Avent.
Entah kenapa, untuk anak kedua ni, rasa nak pakai botol Avent. Dulu masa Ilyaas mmg xnak pakai Avent atas beberapa reason:-
 
1. Semua sepupu Ilyaas pakai Avent. Pastu possibility untuk tertukar botol adalah sangat tinggi bila balik kampung. Maksudnya ramai betul orang guna Avent.
2. Warna botol Avent sgt plain. Sedikit membosankan.
3. Harga mahal betul compare to other anti-colic botol.
4. Dah terpaut pada botol susu MAM sebab lagi comel, bercorak dan berwarna.
 
Tapi bila saya nak tukarkan Ilyaas dari breastmilk ke formula milk, I found out Avent helps a lot compare to MAM and TT. I don't know why. Apart from that, masa guna MAM, I was facing some difficulties too:-
MAM

 
1. MAM terdiri daripada bnyk compartment. Ada 6 pieces in total ( Teat, Teat Cover, Bottle body, Valve, Teat Ring and Bottom Bottle Cover). So bayangkanlah everyday nak membasuh + all the EBM Bottles lagi.
 
2. My babysitter was a middle-age woman, sometime she forget to wash every compartments of MAM bottle. Turn out, when I checked the bottle yang Ilyaas pakai kat babysitter tak berapa bersih.
 
Tapi, botol susu MAM sgt membantu nak in-corporate antara direct breastfeed and EBM in bottle. Memang I bagi 100% kepercayaan pada penggunaan botol susu MAM dari segi ni. Puting MAM pun sgt membantu juga, cuma downside, puting MAM (pacifier) takde cover. So, selalu lah kena basuh dan pastikan bersih. Berbanding dgn pacifier Avent yang mmg comes together with a cover.
 
I also used Tomee Tipee (TT) bila Ilyaas start masuk 6 months plus. Reason I start guna TT because babysitter lebih senang nak handle botol yang tak se-komplikated botol MAM and TT still got some colour compare to Avent yang mmg plain habis. Tp, ada sedikit masalah kecil dgn TT ni, because of its shape yg gemuk dan berlekuk, susah nak simpan dalam baby beg bila pergi travel.

I started Ilyaas with Avent bila dia dah masuk 14months old. In the middle of keserabutan nak transfer from my milk to fm, I terpikir nak tukar botol and size teat. Alhamdulillah, Avent save me. Ilyaas accepted fm after few try n error. After have been using Avent Classic Bottle for nearly 4-5months now, I personally rasa Avent has the easiet BPA-free, Anti-colic and up-to-date bottle. Senang cakap, nak basuh senang, tak banyak compartment, nak sterelise pon senang, penyimpanan senang , minus it's boring-ness looking (plain colour). Untuk kurangkan keboringan itu, sometime I put some stickers on the bottle, hahah!

But recently Avent dah keluarkan some new designs. Airflex Natural (but ini lebih mahal!, cantik tp mahal tak ingt dunia). Another one is Avent Special Edition (pink/blue color) tp only available for 9oz (if tak silap la). I am eyeing on Avent Special Edition, since berwarna, so xboring sgt. hehe.
 
Well, kenapa ek tak try Pureen ke, Anakku ke, Tollyjoy ke? Entahlah, sebab semua orang dok famous pakai 3 brands ni kot. Tp rasanya walaupun botol susu ni agak mahal compare dgn brand2 lain, tp tak perlu tukar selalu. In fact, kitaorg sepanjang pakai setiap brand, tak pernah bertukar pun botol. Tukar teat jelah. Sebab quality bagus, so mmg xnampak retak, pudar, berdaki etc. Klu tanya mak-mak kita, zaman kita kecik2 dulu, 2-3bulan sekali sure tukar botol. So, kat situ boleh kira ada penjimatan sbb beli mahal, tp sekali beli je. Unless la pecah berderai , kena la ganti botol baru.
 
Tak tahula, sekarang belum betul2 decide. Malas nak pening kepala mcm first pregnancy dulu pikir kaji selidik pasal botol susu. Dah sampai masa, duit cukup, pi kedai ambik je la apa yg rasa sesuai. Yang penting, boleh compromise antara breastfeeding and bottle feeding. Takde nipple confuse sudah.
 
Experience korang plak camne dgn botol susu?
