Best Baby Bottles

It doesn't matter whether you're an eco-conscious customer leading a plastic-free life or a busy parent that often warms milk in the microwave, the Philips Avent Natural Baby Bottle may be the best choice for you. The thing that makes it stand out from the competition is the unique construction with the Pharmaceutical grade borosilicate glass that is both thermal and shock-resistant. Unlike BPA-free plastic bottles that may give off a weird smell when heated, this one is completely odor-free and safe for use in a microwave or sterilizer. It neither attracts third-party smells and odors nor gets cloudy over time. Made from fully recyclable, premium-quality borosilicate glass, it'll preserve its attractive appearance for a long while even if frequently stored in the fridge, warmed, or sterilized. The only tradeoff for that premium design is the slightly heavy weight, meaning it's going to take longer for your baby to independently hold this bottle.

If you're struggling with your baby's transition to bottles and think that there is no bottle that your little one can latch onto, you should definitely try the NUK Simply Natural Baby Bottle. It perfectly mimics the shape of mom's breast and is accepted by 96% of babies (based on independent market research). The key to success largely lies in the unique design with multiple holes instead of just one. Actually, the bottle comes with a medium-flow nipple that not only features the same shape as mom's nursing nipple but also has 6 holes. The multiple-hole design makes the flow more similar to breastfeeding and provides the baby's most comfortable feeding ever. On top of that, the scooped nipple cavity leaves some space for the baby's tongue and jaw to move naturally, just like they do when breastfeeding.

Another perk is that the nipple is made from even softer rubber than before, thus, allowing for a comfortable continuous latch. That said, the nipple is still thick enough so as not to collapse under the pressure of the baby's mouth.

As for the bottle itself, it's made from odor- and stain-resistant, crystal-clear BPA-free Tritan plastic. The material is extremely durable and won’t break, bend, or melt after being sanitized hundreds of times. Even the measurement lines will never fade, which speaks a lot about the overall quality. For sure, the NUK Simply Natural baby bottle is a top-grade product that can provide the most natural feeding experience and ensure that your mom-baby bond remains strong.

The Dr. Brown's baby bottle can become a real godsend for reflux babies. Being the winner of multiple awards, it boasts a patented design with an anti-colic internal vent system that effectively reduces spit-up, burping, and gas. The system is clinically proven to prevent the ingestion of air bubbles and, thus, rid your baby of colic. Also, it's claimed to preserve more nutrients in breast milk or formula, which further aids in digestion and a good night’s sleep.

When air enters the bottle collar, it routes directly through the internal vent system (channels through the vent tube, bypassing the milk or formula, to the very end of the bottle). This way, the vent system prevents aeration of the milk, pressure build-up, and nipple collapse. As a result, the milk flows freely, just like breastfeeding. The only requirement is to hold the bottle at 45 degrees and keep the vent end out of the milk.

As the baby’s feeding develops, you can remove the internal vent system and use the bottle as a traditional one. It has its own venting system and offers the same feeding experience as most nipple-vented bottles. Also, it's compatible with different breast pumps. And since the bottle has a tall skinny shape rather than short and fat, it will be very easy to fill it with pumped milk and put into a diaper bag for feeding on-the-go.

In all, the Dr. Brown's Portable Baby Bottle can become a real life-changer for parents with colicky kids. It works like a charm by reducing gas and providing a better night's sleep.

The Playtex 5pcs set is one more anti-colic solution with a unique bottle design that is actually a bit more affordable than other branded baby bottles available for sale. As the name suggests, the pack includes as many as 5 bottles and costs around $20, making it a great deal for families with multiple kids.

As just mentioned, the Playtex Venture Advanced 9-oz. bottles have an unusual design to reduce gas, colic, and spit-up. Actually, they have a screwable bottom with vents that allow air to enter without mixing with the liquids as your baby is drinking. Moreover, the advanced venting system ensures that the liquids will flow consistently, while the special nipple design will mimic the fit, flow, and movement of mom's breast as closely as possible. Also, it should be added that the bottle is angled to some degree and is featured with the little indentation on the side. Therefore, it's ultimately comfortable to hold even by the smallest hands. What's more, it has no chance of tipping over when adding scoops of formula into it. The only thing you should bear in mind is that the bottle might leak if you fill it to the brim.

The package includes five medium flow nipples, but newborn slow-flow ones are also compatible with the bottles. So, you can safely experiment with the nipples to find out which version your baby likes best; or you'll be able to alternate between them depending on how tired your kid is. For sure, the large set like this will last you for a good while, so investing in spare nipples is a good idea.

Would you like to make an easy transition and avoid bottle preference at the same time? Then, you may really like the Comotomo Natural Feel Baby Bottle that has a soft mound design and comes with a slow-flow nipple that drips very slowly, just like mom's breast. The naturally-shaped, soft, silicone nipple of the bottle is ideal for breastfed babies as it mimics the milk flow and even has 2 small holes in the nipple. What's more, the bottle features smartly-placed vents that ensure proper circulation and eliminate unwanted air intake. As a result, babies have less burping or hiccups afterward.

Next, we really liked the fact that the Comotomo bottle is squeezy which allows you to gently squeeze milk in your baby's mouth to encourage him or her to drink more. And when your little one grows up, he or she will be able to do that by their itty bitty hands. A soft, skin-like silicone material will offer a great grip and a calming touch.

Despite being very soft and gentle, the silicone material here is very sturdy and 100% free from chemicals (BPA, PVC, and Phthalate). Also, it's safe for use in boiling water (up to 180℃), microwave, sterilizer, and dishwasher. Yet, we believe you'll hardly ever need to put this bottle into a dishwasher since it has a wide-neck design that accommodates a dish sponge for brushless, stress-free cleaning.

Summing up, the Comotomo bottle is super easy to clean with just your hands, looks awesome, has squeezable design, and feels nice and soft in hands. Everything to make babies and their parents happy.
