MAM Easy Start Anti Colic Baby Bottle, Easy Switch Between Breast and Bottle, Reduces Air Bubbles and Colic, 3 Pack, 4+ Months, Deep Sea/Boy

These are seriously the best bottles I've ever used for my kiddos. I'm a mom of 3, but this is the first time I've actually needed to use bottles for one of my kids. After spending a week in NICU at birth, my 2 month old has been struggling to switch from bottle to breast, so I've been trying out different bottles to see which ones she prefers that are most similar to the breast.First we tried Dr. Browns. They were ok, but have a tendency to leak if you don't have them jussssttttt right.Then we tried Avent, which were her favorites for a bit. Again, these bottles are nice and no actual complaints against them.Then I tried playtex with the drop in liners. I actually loved those bottles, but pushing the bag up is a pain because you can't fit your hand all the way inside to push the bag completely up and the nipples collapse as a result.Finally I tried the MAM bottles that came in my Amazon baby registry box. I was hesitant at first since the bottoms come off and have holes in them. So after doing a water test to make sure they didn't leak, I filled one up for my baby and she took to it instantly.The flatter nipple better simulates what happens when they are breastfeeding and the wide base makes it more like the breast. The venting from the bottom is very nice, so she ends up with far less gas and less spit up (virtually none!).As a bonus, because the bottoms do come off, you can actually use the playtex drop it liners for these bottles as well AND your whole hand can fit to push the bag up as needed. And if you're a pumping mama, these bottles fit onto the Lansinoh pump, so you can pump straight to this bottle and feed to your baby.Overall, these bottles are awesome!

My 5 month old baby and I love these bottles! We have tried Dr. Browns, Avent and Nuk. Dr browns is fine, but the bottle is so long and not very easy to clean with all it's parts. Avent was good, no complaints. Nuk was good but a little inconvenient at night having to make sure the vent was facing up so that it didn't leak. Every second counts when you have a crying baby waking up your husband who works 13 hours a day!!These bottles are a great shape! 9oz but kind of pear shaped so not super long. Easy to hold and SO easy to clean. I use a steamer to disinfect 2 bottles at a time. The top fits inside of the bottle and the bottom unscrews and fits neatly on top. Love that it saves space so I can sterilize a couple binkys at the same time! I've washed and steamed these bottles 50 times by now and they still look brand new. Make sure that the bottom is screwed on correctly before you add your liquids!! The nipple shape is unique and my lo loves it! The size 2 nipple still seems to be too fast for her but with some cereal it is perfect!

I purchased this set with the second slowest drip nipples (sold separately) for my 3 1/2 week old newborn, as she is overly-aggressive and drinks pumped breast milk way too fast. We were using the Lansinoh bottles with the slowest drip option initially, but she would choke, cough, and the milk would run on the sides of her face because of her voracious and Hoover-like suction appetite.All I can say is, what a night-and-day difference just using one of these bottles so far. We tried one of these bottles this afternoon with the Level 1 slower drip nipple, and my daughter accepted it without any hesitation. There was not a single drop spilled on her face, no pauses with the coughing/choking, way more comfortable, and much less fuss. She seemed to settle down faster, was easier to burp, and slept better. Even with a second round of feeding three hours later, she did great too. Love the fact that the bottles can be sterilized easily in the microwave, and are BPA, BPS, and lead-free too. I highly-recommend these for any new mother, baby registry gift item, or in-general as a great starter bottle. I do advise to purchase the next level down on the nipples separately to avoid choking or colicky symptoms; even though these come with the Level 2 ones for the faster drip.

These I used for my now 18 month old. This was the first time I deviated predominately away from Avent for my infants.The design for self-sterilization is genius.Literally genius.The issue I had, after months of use? Getting the white rubber seal at the bottom to not have a “smell”. It always smelled no matter what myself or my husband did.They worked, I didn’t notice any real decrease in gas, because we still bought the gas drops, and all that.As far as compatibility with breastfeeding? I can’t attest to that because I didn’t nurse the youngest. I can see why they’d claim this would not cause nipple confusion, but, to be fair, I can actually see how it could cause a latch issue as I had 4 other children who were breastfed. If you’re nursing? I’d implore you to ensure you or whoever is giving baby a bottle to make baby open wide for the bottle teat, otherwise, to me? You’d be encouraging a lazy latch. (And that crap hurts)It’s a nice bottle, easy to clean, it’s not cheap, but not horrible either. Still plastic. And screwing it all together in the middle of the night can be a PITA.

These bottles are the best I’ve used so far. My husband bought a different brand from a grocery store that was also an anti-colic bottle but those were so aggravating. They would leak from the bottom. I had to play with the rubber valve at the bottom just to try and get it “right” so it wouldn’t leak. These I don’t have to worry about AT ALL! I’ve used the smaller 5oz bottles since my baby was born and upgraded to the 9oz once he started drinking 6oz of breast milk and formula. Never had any problems with colic or any excessive amounts of vomiting/spit up, just the normal. He loves these bottles and so do I. They’re easy to clean, easy to sterilize (the fact they’re self-sterilizing is amazing), and so cute! You can’t go wrong with these bottles! -Timika
