Does Anyone Use Tommie Tippie Bottles???

Hi , im expecting my 3rd child in 10wks, with my other 2 kids i used straight forward feeding bottles these were easy to use/ make up and came with the little white sealent discs so when making up the milk the teat would be upside down in the bottle ready to remove the disc and turn the teat the right way up. this time round ive been out and brought the tommie tippie better by nature bottles now im confused because there is no sealent discs just thought i would have a look if they leak so filled a bottle up with water and put the teat down in the bottle shook it abit and it leaked so i put water in and left the teat facing up and it leaks, anybody use these bottles ? which way do i make the bottle up? looked everywhere to buy some discs but apperantly you cant buy them so im puzzled? thanks in advance:confused::confused:

    I have these, used them since birth with my near 14 month old. You dont need discs with the Closer to Nature bottles. I love them and have had much less problems with them than the Avent ones that we used for DS1.

    Put the milk in, pull the teat thru the white ring, put the cap over the teat securely and then screw it on to the bottle. It doesnt leak. The cap comes in contact with the teat and covers the hole at the top.

    New guidlines are tho not to make batches of bottles up in one go but to make a bottle just when it is needed. I used to boil the kettle, put the required water in the bottle put the top on and just add the powder as and when needed.
