Review: Adiri Natural Nursers

Filed Under Articles, Product Reviews 

Pin It!

adiri I recently bought a couple of the Adiri Natural Nursers. First, I wanted to get away from the other plastic bottles we have and go BPA-free. Secondly, I figured that a breast-like nipple would be good for keeping breast feeding going. My son is about to hit 4 months and has only used a bottle a few times until now. I just went back to work part-time and he gets a bottle once or twice a day 1-2 days a week.

I went with the second stage bottles and I’m wondering if that’s the problem. It could be that the flow is just a little too fast for him. In addition, he’s been a little fussy and hard to latch anyway, and I’m not sure if the bottles are helping. Recently, I tried to use the bottle. He ate, but had a wide-eyed look that he gets when my milk lets down too fast. He pulled away so much that he seems to be getting a lot of air in his stomach, even though the vent on the Adiri is supposed to help with that. (It would if he got a good seal on the bottle, I think.)

The jury’s still out for me on this one. It could just be that we’re hitting a rough spot due to a growth spurt. Or upcoming teething (he’s drooling a LOT). And it could be that he feels my stress at starting back to work. I’m really hoping that things will go better after he gets a little more used to the bottles.

To be fair, my husband uses them more than I do, since he feeds the tyke when I’m at work. He did also think that maybe the bottle flows a tad too fast, but our son isn’t quite four months old and is just now starting bottles regularly. It probably would have been better to start with Stage 1, but I thought we’d only use a slower stage for a few weeks before switching. Hubby hasn’t noticed any trouble latching, so it may have been a bad day for the boy — and me. Or he could be getting to the point where he doesn’t want a bottle from me.

To make things a bit harder, the bottles have been leaking inside the cover when I fill them up. I followed the directions, which said to make sure there’s a tight seal. And I did. But still, leakage. I emailed The Soft Landing, where I got the bottles, and they passed me on to Adiri. Their response time rocks. Adiri offered to replace the bottles for us. So we’ll give the new ones a try when they arrive and see if they fare any better.

And I’ll update you all when I try the new ones. Also, more reviews to come!

    I’d strongly encourage you to try the stage 1 bottles. There’s no reason why you ever have to switch up, particularly if you continue to breastfeed, it’s fine to stay on the slower flow nipples. You don’t want him to get used to fast flow, he may then start to reject the breast!

    I hadn’t thought about it that way, Thalia. Thanks for the idea. I have other bottles that are a little slower flow, and fortunately, we’re having to use bottles a little less right now (I’m working from home a lot).
