*Mommy's Obsessions received a complimentary Bottle Gift Set for review in exchange for my honest thoughts and opinions*Today Mommy's Little Miracle is featuring a product that we feel is an essential for this event because while we support any time of feeding for your baby, we understand that not all may be able to breastfeed or some may choose to exclusively use a bottle with their breast milk! Born Free has a wonderful glass bottle gift set that is perfect for whatever type of feeding you choose of your little one!
When I was putting together the Mommy's Little Miracle event it was important to me to include products that showed that Mommy's Obsessions not only understands that not every mom will breastfeed, but that we support it as well. I had an extremely difficult time with breastfeeding Little Mister and at just 2 1/2 months we switched to exclusively using formula with him. And you know what? That's ok. He was/is healthy, thriving, and as happy as can be.
Are you expecting in 2014? Did you just have your little bundle of joy? Know someone who's pregnant or trying to conceive? Then this event is for you! Alex of Mommy's Obsessions is expecting her second son this October and has created an event that is perfect for expectant mothers! Mommy's Little Miracle is a Pregnancy, Newborn/Early Infancy, and Postpartum event that will be featuring everything from maternity clothing to newborn essentials, to postpartum products you must have! We highly recommend that you bookmark the open giveaway page by clicking on the image below then adding it to your bookmarks bar! Over the next three weeks you will have the chance to enter to win some amazing prizes from items for YOU and things for your little one!
About Born Free
(As from their website)
"There is nothing in the world like the closeness you feel when feeding your baby. The right bottle can make this special time even better. Born Free is the natural choice for moms who want a safe, calm experience every time they feed their baby. Known for having the highest standards of safety, Born Free offers bottles that are uniquely made to satisfy every baby’s feeding needs – whether you are breastfeeding, formula feeding or both. By letting baby control the flow of milk, Born Free bottles closely mimic a mother’s natural milk flow, which reduces nipple confusion and helps support moms to reach their breastfeeding goal. Our ActiveFlow™ Venting Technology reduces gas pain, fussiness, and other colic symptoms babies sometimes experience with bottle feeding – giving you one less thing to worry about. Born Free moms will tell you about the many convenient features of our feeding system; the bottles are easy to fill and clean, come with a travel cap, and are leak-proof - because we know spilt milk is worth crying over. Developed by three concerned dads in 1996, Born Free was a pioneer in making baby products without the harmful chemicals BPA and PVC. We’ve brought that same commitment of safety to our line of teethers, pacifiers, and training cups made for your growing baby. In 2011, Born Free was acquired by Summer Infant. Born Free is thrilled to become a part of the Summer Infant family of products. Nurturing babies are what moms do best. Discover what Born Free has to offer: Nature and Nurture in Harmony™."

The Born Free Glass Gift Set is the perfect starter kit to either purchase for yourself, register for, or give as a gift! The gift set includes (2) 5oz Glass Bottles, (2) 9oz Glass Bottles, (2) Silicone Sleeves (one for each size bottle), (2) Level 3 Silicone Nipples, (1) Formula Dispenser, and (1) Twister Bottle Brush Set.
Whether you're using the bottles for breast milk or formula, the bottles allow for a natural milk flow to give your baby an experience that is similar to breastfeeding and helps them control the flow. The nipples on the bottle are also designed to prevent nipple confusion so if you are doing breast and bottle, your child will have an easier transition from one to the other.
What I love about the glass bottles is that they are naturally BPA and PVC free, they are long lasting, eco friendly, and easily to clean!
The formula dispenser makes it easy for parents to transport three servings of formula with the divided container and easy-pour spout on the lid. You can easily turn the lid without removing it from the dispenser so that if one portion has already been consumed, you can get to the next! The formula dispenser is for dry/powder formula, not remixed or liquid! I really appreciate that this dispenser makes it so easy for parents or caregivers to make the baby's bottle - we all know how cranky, hungry babies get!
Although it may look like the bottles come in several pieces, they are extremely easy to assemble and disassemble and are completely interchangeable on all Born Free bottles and transition cups. The ActiveFlow venting technology helps reduce colic and gas by controlling the flow of the milk. Additionally, the bottles have several nipple options (flow rates) that grow with your child; level 1, level 2, level 3, variable, and y-cut.
One of my favorite additions on the Born Free bottles is the convenient stopper that is placed between the vent and the nipple - I remember oh to well from Little Misters bottles that even with the lids placed over the nipple, excess formula would still leak if tipped over in the diaper bag accidentally! With the stopper that Born Free has incorporated, there is no need to worry; not only do you have the lid covering the nipple, but the stopper will eliminate any risk of spills!
I am really looking forward to using these Born Free bottles with Little Boy when he arrives! Although I plan to breastfeed, I learned with Little Mister that sometimes babies (and your body!) have other plans and you can never be to prepared! I also plan to pump with Little Boy so that mommy can get away every once in a while, and I know that daddy will love using the Born Free bottles and I will love knowing that the Born Free nipples help to prevent nipple confusion! Although we haven't used the bottles yet, I would feel confident in recommending them for your little one too out of past experience with Summer Infant/Born Free products!
To Purchase: Visit Born Free for more information on their bottle systems and to see what other fabulous products they offer! You can grab your Glass Bottle Gift Set for $49.99 at several retailers including Summer Infants website, Target, Kohls, Buy Buy Baby, and more!

This will be my daughters first child and she plans on breast feeding then switching to formula.
ReplyDeleteSheryl Cheingthong-Simpson
This will be our first and we plan to breast feed but I work full time so pumping and bottles will be a necessity. I am very interested in using glass and stainless bottles for our baby. I am also interested in trying the Summer Infant swaddle pods and sleep sacks.
ReplyDeleteThe new swaddles from Summer Infant catch my eye!
ReplyDeleteThis will be my #3 (due any day). My second BF baby. My first only BFed for 3 months and then was on formula. Second was BFed for 12 months then briefly on formula. I love Born Free. We had the glass with #2 but they were mistakenly put on top of the car and flew ice we took off :(
ReplyDeleteI love Born Free glass bottles. I prefer these over any other brand. Unfortunately the 6 we had with #2 were put on the roof of our car, flew off and shattered :( We would love these for our #3, due any day
ReplyDeleteI plan/hope to breastfeed. I'll try my hardest for our baby. But I want my husband to have the experience of bonding while feeding, so these bottles would be for him to feed with, hopefully, breastmilk.
ReplyDeleteI like Summer Infants monitors and The Born Free Nighty Night nursing light.
ReplyDeleteThe Born Free glass bottles!
ReplyDeletenever used born free but would love to! 3rd baby here!
ReplyDeleteI love the Swaddlepods. From Stage 1 to Stage 4, you are prepared to help your baby fall and stay asleep.
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of the bottles (haven't used any of them but would if I had them) but I also love the video monitors offered by Summer Infant. And the muslin blankets.
ReplyDeleteThis is my #3 baby 2nd daughter ! I have to have a c-section on Thursday the 21st! With my son there was a problem with latching so he was all bottled formula feed, My second she was breastfeed in the hospital then when i came home I couldn't get her to latch so i pumped and now with my 3rd i would really really love to breast feed (straight from breast to baby) I had had some bad luck with a flood and lost all the baby stuff I was keeping from my first 2 so I was so worried about making sure I had enough for her I forgot bottles! lol I was so nuts about all the gear and clothes that i just forgot! Here's hoping i have some luck!!! Thank you for this article and giveaway! xo
ReplyDeleteI like the Microwave Steam Sterilizer That looks really cool!
ReplyDeleteI breastfed my first baby and plan to breastfeed the next one too!
ReplyDeleteI like the summer infant monitors and also all of their bedding patterns!
ReplyDeleteMy daughter is a teacher and she breastfeeds at home and pumps at work so she needs bottles for the breast milk.
ReplyDeleteI really love the Fuze Stroller!

This is our first and I am hoping to breastfeed.
ReplyDeleteI also really like the Bentwood Bassinet with Motion (Dark Stain).
ReplyDeleteI like the bottles as I am trying to find a bottle for my daughter where she makes less of a mess when drinking.
ReplyDeleteI BOTTLE FED & MY DAUGHTER WHO IS EXPECTING HER FIRST WILL ALSO BE BOTTLE FEEDING. THANKS
ReplyDelete3-Stage SuperSeat IS REALLY CUTE THANKS
ReplyDeleteBreast fed initially, I was so stressed out as a single mother that my milk dried up and I went to a bottle. I figure she got all the good stuff in the first couple of months
ReplyDeletePotty training
ReplyDeleteThis is the first child she wants to try breast feeding but bottles are always nice to have on hand
ReplyDeleteI like the Microwave Steam Steriliser so much more convenient than having to boil them
ReplyDeleteSoothe & Sleep Bassinet with Motion really caches me eye, especially having a 9 day old who's quite fussy and only sleep when she's held.
ReplyDeleteI fed my baby both breastmilk and formula because I wasn't able to produce enough breastmilk.

I like the Foldaway Baby Bath

I breastfed but I would love to try these bottles I couldn't get my first son to take a bottle and I would like to put breast milk in a bottle so my husband can feed our baby too.
ReplyDeleteThis will be my daughters first child and she plans on breast feeding then switching to formula.
ReplyDelete3 in 1 Hippo Training Potty. Would love this for my Grandson who is just learning to be training. Cute activities to keep them interested.
ReplyDeleteAll my babies were bottled fed. The older ones were given glass bottles, which i preferreddue to clean up.
ReplyDeleteI really love the giraffe playtime mat, this is so cute and I would love it for in my daughters nursery!
ReplyDeleteMy first daughter I only used breast milk whether nursing or fed with the bottle. My second daughter is 6 months and I am still nursing her (I think I will continue to only use breast milk).
ReplyDeleteAnother product that has caught my eye would be the Clear Sight Duo Digital Color Video Monitor. My toddler and the baby will be eventually sharing a room so we are definitely going to be using a video monitor.
ReplyDeleteI am currently expecting my first baby and I do plan on breastfeeding and pumping so my husband can help! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI love the Clear Sight Duo Digital Color Video Monitor; keeping my eye out for one!
ReplyDeleteI think I would have to say that the Lion King nursing pillow is cute.
ReplyDeleteI would like to have: complete nursery care kit and mommies molodies bear.
ReplyDeleteI am planning on nursing my baby! I hope that I will be able to do it.
ReplyDeleteThe Pop 'n Play canopy would be a nice product to have when outside watching dad with his sporting events, or family outings!
ReplyDeleteBreastfed first child, and plan to with this new one. Bottle fed with breast milk occasionally when I had to be away.
ReplyDeleteRight now I am interested on potty chairs, as I would like to potty train my first before the second arrives in 3 months.
ReplyDeleteI love their Swaddle Pods!
ReplyDeleteMy first baby I use formula, second I breast feed for the first three months, third I breastfeed for a year and plan on breast feeding our fourth for at least one year hopefully longer.
ReplyDeleteI love the Wayland Reach 4 in 1 Convertible Crib
ReplyDeleteI like the Summer Infant monitors the best! Probably the Clear Sight Duo Color Monitor to be specific.
ReplyDeleteIblike the convertible crib, the wayland
ReplyDeleteI breastfed my first
ReplyDeletethe glass bottles! so much more eco friendly
ReplyDeleteI breast fed my babies for a while, but due to different circumstances I had to switch both of them to formula.
ReplyDeleteI like the stoppers in the baby bottles. They stop the bottles from spilling or dripping when they fall over in your diaper bag or where ever.
ReplyDeleteAll of my babies were bottle fed, but my daughter breast feeds and uses bottles also.
ReplyDeleteI visited Summer Infant and found many things that caught my eye. But one thing that I would love to get for my daughter for her new baby is the 4-in-1 Wayland Convertible Crib.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the review on the Born Glass bottles. I would love to try them - the alternatives to plastic bottles are limited and usually pricier.
ReplyDeleteThis glass bottle set looks perfect! Today is my due date and I can't wait for my new Mister! ♡♡♡♡
ReplyDeleteMy first two kids were breastfed for the first month, and then formula fed until they were 1. My daughter, who is now 3 months, has been ebf. I don't regret either one, as I think what is the most important is that your baby is healthy, happy, and fed.
ReplyDeleteI also wouldn't mind have the Sweet Comfort Musical Bouncer for my baby girl. It looks very comfortable, and I am sure the sounds would lull her to sleep.
ReplyDeleteThe Sit ‘n Style caught my eye, because it is a versatile feeding seat and booster!
ReplyDeleteI definitely plan on breastfeeding my first child!
ReplyDeleteCarly D.
I plan on breastfeeding my first!

This glass bottle looks awesome
ReplyDeleteWe are due with our first baby January 30th after 7 years of trying. Breastfeeding, for me, is a must. :D I would love to have the Bliss nursing pillow to help with it!
ReplyDeleteI combo fed for the first 6 months or so and then formula fed, thanks to primary lactation issues. I will try to at least partially nurse again with the next one due in the spring, but I won't beat myself up over it this time.
ReplyDeleteI like the Born Free Calm Muslin blankets from Summer Infant.
ReplyDeleteLove the Side by Side™ Split-Screen Video Monitor Set
ReplyDeleteI like the Bliss Nursing Pillow. Jessica
ReplyDeleteMy oldest was breastfed for a couple of months, but circumstances made me quit. The next two were mostly breastfed, but took some formula when I was unavailable. My last one had been exclusively breastfed so far.
ReplyDeleteI have been wanting a Summer Infant 3D Lite stroller since forever! ...Well, at least for a few months, anyway.
ReplyDeleteSide by Side™ Split-Screen Video Monitor Set

ReplyDeleteThe Gentle Vibrations Toothbrush looks very nice!
