Starter Set includes: three 5oz bottles with stage 1 nipples; two 9oz bottles with stage 2 nipples; three snack/formula containers; one bottle and nipple brush, and one newborn sized Soothie Pacifier. Soothies is a brand recognized by moms as trusted by hospitals, and we have used the same medical-grade silicone as the pacifiers. Home-use testing has shown us that 75% of moms were able to successfully transition baby from breast to the Soothie Bottle System, and all believed that it was because the bottle had the same shape and feel as the pacifier, making it easy for baby. 80% of moms reported that their baby took the bottle on the first or second try!

Amazon.com Product Reviews
The First Years Soothie bottle uses the shape of the Soothie pacifier for familiarity when transitioning to the bottle. Using their stage one nipple for slow to medium flow and the stage two nipple for medium to fast flow, the bottles are perfect for babies getting comfortable with bottle feeding. The wide neck makes filling and cleaning a snap, and the contoured shape makes it easy for the baby to hold. The bottles work with all First Years breast pumps, and it is also nice that they do not contain polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or phthalates. The First Years Soothie bottle starter set includes three 5 ounce bottles and covers with stage one nipples, two 9 ounce bottles and covers with stage two nipples, three snap-on storage containers for extra formula and snacks, one bottle brush, and a Soothie infant pacifier. --Scott Teal

Finally a bottle I can work with!
After trying out the Playtex Nursers, Playtex Vent Air, Avent and Soothie, Soothie definately comes out on top.
While the Playtex bottles were great because they eliminated the bubbles in the formula while drinking, it was a bit of a pain to measure formula before putting it in the bottle with the liners and our son was not a fan of the nipples for the Vent Air.
Avent nipples were too hard and while he'd still drink from the nipple, it took a lot of coaxing for him to do so. Not to mention that Avent is quite an investment in a baby bottle system.
We tried the Soothie pacifier when my son would spit out the Mams and other similar shaped pacifiers. With the Soothie, he just sucked it right in and loves it! It just makes sense. If he loved the pacifier so much we should have no problem with the bottles. We love these bottles because they work for our son and the price is fantastic compared to the Playtex Nursers, Vent Air and Avent.
I gave it 4 stars because the bottles are quite large in circumference and you have to be sure when there is only a little formula in the bottle that the nipple is completely full or baby will be sucking on air.
Great Bottle for infants who love the soothie pacifier...
My son loves the soothie pacifier, so when I saw these online I had to try them out. The starter set is great. First the nipple is just like the pacifier which I could not believe. The first time we tried during feeding he did not have any trouble getting the formula out. The nipple was not to fast or slow. Another great feature is the fact that the tops fit on the bottom of these bottles so you won't forget them at a resturant or just misplace them in the house. ALSO the formula/snack containers also fit on the bottle - then the top of the bottle attachs to the bottle of the container. We have not tried the stage two nipples at this point.
BETTER THAN AVENT!
When I registered for items for my baby, I, like the rest of the country, was 'sucked in' to the Avent bottles. They overtook the shelves of Babies R Us and everything I had read had recommended these bottles. I received many of these bottles and sippee cups at the shower. Once my son was born, the nipples of the Avent bottles were way too hard, especially since I was also breastfeeding. My son loved his soothie pacifier and when I saw the Soothie bottles at the store, I decided to give them a try. WE LOVE THE SOOTHIE BOTTLES! First of all, there are only two stages for the nipples, 1 and 2 (Avent has 4 and depending on your baby, you may need to buy nipples over and over again). Secondly, the nipples are a lot softer and he really enjoys this. The soft nipples helps him to seal around it better and not suck in air through the sides of his mouth. Also, there is a venting system similar to that of Avent. I am completely impressed with these bottles and recommend them 10 to 1 over Avent. The price alone is worth a try! Although these bottles are not interchangable with sippee cups, they are a lot less expensive and Avent's sippee cups aren't necessarily the nicest looking or appealing to a child. So go ahead! Give them a try! You'll love them!
