We received these bottles in the middle of battling thrush, which was nice -- we didn't have to stress out about sterilizing my son's bottle nipples every time he used one. They would also be helpful in a situation where you didn't want to have to worry about washing a bottle or lugging one around to bring back home.
The bottles are easy to use; you just take the bottle and the nipple out of their wrappers, fill the bottle up and snap the nipple on. The nipple itself is on the wide side. Unfortunately, my son didn't seem to care for the nipple -- he's always used the Playtex Drop-Ins NaturaLatch Silicone Nipple - Slow Flow - 2 Pack, and there's no way to use that nipple with this bottle.
So, what are the downsides? First of all, the price. I would definitely not use these if you are bottlefeeding exclusively -- it would be very costly. For families like ours that only use bottles when Mom isn't around, they might be an option, or you could use them just on certain occasions when a disposable bottle might be more convenient.
The other downside is the obvious environmental impact. These are clearly meant to be recycled, but our curbside recycling doesn't accept #5 plastic, and neither does our township recycling center. In the UK, where everyone has bins for recycling, and it's a much bigger thing there, I can see these being a more environmentally friendly option. For us, though, we have no choice but to just toss them in the trash.Get more detail about Steribottle Ready to Use Disposable Baby Bottles, 10 Count.
