Playtex Ventaire Bottles

This week was grocery shopping week, and along with Monsters infant formula we also had to stock up on some Playtex Drop-ins Bottle Liners.

I decided on a whim that I was going to compare the price of a box of 100 Playtex bottle liners vs. A couple new Playtex Ventaire Bottles. Monster has not needed to be burped for about 2 months, and I've read the Ventaire bottles are very popular with other moms on my whattoexpect.com homeboard.

Pros to using the Playtex Drop-ins is that they are absolutely perfect for the busy (or lazy) mom who doesn't have all the time in the world to sit and scrub bottles. You toss the liner after each use. I was one of those lazy moms who saw the appeal when Monster was a newborn.

Admittedly I have more time in my day now that I have a partially independent 7 month old, as apposed to a "I want to be held or worn 24/7" newborn. The cheap mom finally beat down the lazy mom and bought the Playtex Ventaire Bottles instead of the Drop-in Liners. It was a dollar difference in price to buy a 100 pack of liners vs a two bottle starter package at Walmart.

Monster loves his food so the change didn't even phase him one bit and aside from the extra 5 minutes cleaning time per day, they're working out great! I can't say they'd be a good bottle for a newborn with the potential to be colicky but for a 7 month old who burps himself they work great, and they're more esthetically pleasing then the regular Drop-ins.
