These bottles do not leak if you install the nipple properly. You need to make sure you pull the nipple on fully in order to avoid leakage. When we first started using the bottles, we had leaking, but once we realized we attached the nipples incorrectly, we haven't had any problems since. The manual that comes with the bottles has a clear description of how to attach the nipples properly, so make sure to look at it prior to using.
Our little one absolutely loves these bottles and has no problem breastfeeding when I'm at home and then using these bottles while I'm away. He's even let me feed him a couple times using these bottles in situations where I'm unable to breastfeed him. Perhaps he prefers these bottles to the breast? Since the beginning, we've used the nipples that came with the bottles and have not switched to a faster flow nipple. Our little one seems ok with this as he's gotten older, so we have no plans to switch. The slower flow nipple helps ensure that he's not choking down milk because it's coming out too fast. Plus as your baby gets older, his suck becomes a lot more powerful, so the slow flow shouldn't get in way. We've never had a problem with our little one having gas after using these bottles either.
There was even an instance where I neglected to bring a pacifier for a long car ride. I was able to hold this bottle to his mouth and he used it as a pacifier to fall asleep in the car. This was a last resort when nothing else would work and we knew he just needed help falling asleep. Now, I wouldn't recommend using this as a pacifier, but this just shows how much he likes the bottles :)
The bottles have been used daily for the past 6 months and have held up nicely. I personally prefer to hand wash the bottles and then sanitize using a microwaveable sanitizer. I can't speak to how they perform if run through the dishwasher regularly.
