Avent Newborn Starter Bottle Set Vs. The First Years Soothie Bottle Starter Kit

When you walk through the bottle aisle of a store, the choices are endless and can be overwhelming. Several will claim to make the transition from breast to bottle easier. Others will claim to reduce instances of gas and colic. You will have to make decisions about rubber versus silicone nipples and plastic bottles versus drop in liners. The list goes on and on. After making your choice, you run the risk that your baby will not even accept the bottles you have selected. I was planning on breastfeeding my new baby, but I also knew that I would need to use bottles when I returned to work. I researched many different brands and finally decided to try both the Avent bottles and The First Years Soothie bottles.
