Dr. Browns. They have a vent that goes up the middle of the bottle so there is no additional air mixing with the formula.
We use the Gerber Comfort bottles and haven't had a lot of gas problems, you could also try the gas drops if changing bottles doesn't help--actually you might want to try the gas drops first, Dr. Browns are really expensive.

I used Playtex Nursers.... you can squeeze all the air out of the Drop-In liner... I never had a problem with gas. I did have problems with the Good Start formula though.... I switched my baby to the store-brand formula at 3 months, and she was much happier (and I saved a ton of money).

Playtex nursers with the bottle liners. You fill them then squeeze all the air out by pushing on the liner. When the formula begins to come out, no more air. Worked for all 3 of mine and they would go to them after being breastfed.

Actually I hear glass bottles are best, but I can't remember why. Also if the bottle is not shaped (curved) to fit feeding him and holding the bottle _> it is bad for their digestion thus giving burps and gas. Good luck!

Evenflo comfi' they are the best bottles, they have the curve in them, so they have less air..or so i've found..I also use the playtex level 1 nipples, because the ones that come with the bottles, are WAY too fast.

I love Dr. Browns. I was using Playtex Ventair but they weren't working or right for my baby. I like the Dr. Browns because I noticed a difference immediately. My son was a lot happier and calmer when eating because the nipples are small and soft. They are pricy but well worth it.

The dr. Browns bottles are amazing but highly expensive.

I used Evenflo's curved bottles. My sister in law used Advent. It depends on your little one. If they have a real problem I would suggest the Dr. Brown bottles.

any bottle that has a curve in it will help with the gas, there are platex vent air but those things are so difficult to clean and put back togehter, I hated them so I used the cheap brand of curved bottles and my daughter did fine.
