In the coming months, you'll be getting lots of free weird gifts. Even if you register for baby stuff, there's going to be some people ignoring the list (cause they don't want to be told what to do) and get you the baby bottle that they like. While it's not nice to reject gifts, don't crack the seal.
Find one bottle and stick with it. Don't mix bottles because you're only going to drive yourself nuts having to keep up with the various nipples, rings and bottles. You'll have to remember which ones you need to clean in special ways. It's just a pain in the butt and time consuming. I don't know if anyone has clued you in, but time is the one thing fathers of twins really don't have. I just have one kid and my free time - and by that I mean time when I can focus on something other than the baby is reduced down to the time it takes to read a TMZ entry. Say good bye to the ability to read Russian novels while making ships inside bottles, Neil. Only thing going in a bottle is formula. The only thing rushing will be the baby to the changing table.
You might want to sample various bottles on the baby, but as soon as you find "the One" - remove the rest from your house. Give them to nice people who also have babies. But don't drive yourself nuts at 4 a.m. trying to remember which ring fits on which nipple. You don't want to give those kids The Milk Bath. They'll never get to sleep and you'll understand why my child's favorite song is the Theme to Three's Company.
