Baby Bottles Reviews Reviewed
Review Ratings	Citation	CS Credibility Rating	Baby Bottles Ratings Comments on Reviews
1. Amazon.com	Bottles Contributors to Amazon.com As of Sept. 2008		Amazon.com is an online retailer that allows people to post reviews of products they have used. Amazon carries a good selection of baby bottles, many of which have a large number of useful reviews from parents. While one or two user reviews for a given bottle are less helpful, larger numbers of reviews are useful because patterns begin to emerge. For baby bottles, we found that large numbers of user reviews were ultimately more helpful than cursory recommendations from other sources.
2. Babies 'R' Us	Baby Bottles Contributors to Babies "R" Us As of Sept. 2008		Babies "R" Us is similar to Amazon.com, with reviews for the many baby bottles available. Although this site has fewer total reviews, some models have more posts here. Unfortunately, the website as a whole is more difficult to navigate. To find reviews, you first have to click on a specific model, then click again to read reviews, ultimately making for cumbersome reading.
3. Viewpoints.com	Baby Bottle Reviews Contributors to Viewpoints.com As of Sept. 2008		Veiwpoints.com is a newer site on the review scene, but they've already accumulated a good number of baby bottle reviews. A few models, including Dr. Brown's Natural Flow, Avent and Playtex Ventaire, get a lot of attention while others have only a few posts each. Entries are easy to navigate, and there's a useful ratings summary for each model.
4. Z Recommends	Five Great Bottles By BPA-Free Companies Naomi Shapiro Feb. 25, 2008		Naomi Shapiro is a guest reviewer on Z Recommends, a commercial blog that includes product reviews aimed at parents. Z Recommends has a useful review of five BPA-free bottles: the Adiri Natural Nurser, the Born Free Plastic Bottle, the Green to Grow Plastic Bottle, the Siliskins Bottle and the thinkbaby Plastic Bottle. Each gets a writeup with details on materials and components, plus some general observations and an overall rating. Total scores are very close for these five bottles, with a slight edge given to the Green to Grow and thinkbaby bottles.
5. Consumer Reports >> Details/Subscribe	Baby bottles without bisphenol A Editors of Consumer Reports Aug. 2008		Consumer Reports has entered the Bisphenol-A discussion with its own report on BPA-free baby bottles. Editors have tested several bottles to assess whether or not they actually live up to their claims of being BPA-free. While most Consumer Reports articles are available only to subscribers, editors have made this report available free.

6. Target.com	Bottles Contributors to Target.com As of Sept. 2008		Target's website allows readers to post reviews of baby bottles it sells. There are some good individual reviews here, but as with the Babies "R" Us website, finding and reading the reviews takes more clicking around, so the site is ultimately not as helpful as Amazon.com or Viewpoints.com.
7. About.com	Top 6 Baby Bottles Robin Elise Weiss As of Sept. 2008		About.com's Guide to Pregnancy and Childbirth, Robin Elise Weiss, ranks her top six baby bottles. Each bottle gets a short descriptive paragraph, but none of the comments indicate that Weiss tested the bottles herself or has any personal experience with them. Only the Second Nature Bottles get a longer review. (ConsumerSearch is owned by About.com, but the two don't share an editorial affiliation.)
8. BabyCenter.com	Bottles and Nipples Contributors to BabyCenter.com As of Sept. 2008		BabyCenter.com is another retail website that allows site visitors to leave reviews and ratings for baby bottles and other products. Bottles with the highest overall ratings are designated Parent's Picks. The fact that more than half the bottles receive this rating, however, reduces its usefulness.
9. Z Recommends	The Z Report on BPA In Children's Feeding Products, Third Edition Jeremiah McNichols Feb. 21, 2008		Z Recommends is a product review blog by parent reviewers Jennifer and Jeremiah McNichols. Their article on Bisphenol-A includes a listing of baby bottle manufacturers and the BPA status of each of their products. They recommend bottles by Born Free, Medela, thinkbaby and Adiri.

10. About.com	Avent Feeding Bottles Heather Corley As of Sept. 2008		About.com's Guide to Baby Products, Heather Corley, includes a useful review of Avent's baby bottles on her website. However, no other brands are discussed.
11. Epinions	Bottles and Accessories Contributors to Epinions As of Sept. 2008		There are some parent-written reviews of baby bottles at Epinions, and the review templates are useful in that Epinions specifically asks contributors for both pros and cons. Although there aren't nearly as many reviews here for baby bottles as at Amazon.com, some of the individual reviews go into great depth.
12. Practical Parenting (UK)	Bottles – 6 of the best Editors of Practical Parenting Mar. 8, 2007		Practical Parenting magazine offers general advice on choosing a bottle, along with their top six recommendations. Although the reviews include some product information and quotes from parents, there's no mention of how the bottles were chosen. Since the magazine is based in the UK, some of the models are not available in the U.S.
13. ColicHelp.com	Review of Dr. Brown's bottles for colic Contributors to ColicHelp.com As of July 2006		ColicHelp.com contains over 40 useful reviews of Dr. Brown's bottles as they relate to babies with colic. The bottles get an overall rating of 7.6 out of 10, and 77 percent of reviewers on this site say they recommend them for colic reduction.

14. 3Luxe.com	Baby Bottle Research and Review Editors of 3LUXE.com As of Sept. 2008		The idea behind 3LUXE.com is to make three top recommendations in each of a growing list of product categories. While it's an interesting concept, the drawback is that the reviews are not critical. The other issue is that it's not always clear how products are chosen or whether the reviewers have actually done any testing.
