Pacific Baby is a social and environmental impact driven company that is leading the category for developing wholesome baby feeding products.
We produce a range of natural and / or recyclable baby feeding items. Baby feeding is a US$5 billion industry, and over 90% of the items are made from petroleum-based plastic. This plastic is linked with many health problems in humans, and especially with developing babies, as the chemicals leach into food and cause hormonal disruptions and other diseases. The thrown away plastic items also pollute our oceans and landfills immeasurably as they take up to 1,000 years to degrade.

Feeding bottle is the essential item you need whether your baby is breastfeeding or formula fed. In the second case, it is clear - this is number one in your everyday life. And in the case of breastfeeding, a bottle may be needed when the mother needs to go away on business and leave expressed milk for the baby, or if there are problems with lactation and the child needs supplementary feeding.
Your task is to choose a high-quality and safe product for your newborn. Today, a huge number of bottles for newborns and children of the first year of life are presented on the market for children's goods. There are many manufacturers, among the most famous and well-established ones are Philips Avent, Dr. Brown's, Medela, Pigeon, Сhicco, Munchkin, Nuk and some others.
There are many nuances when choosing a bottle, but one of the most important criteria to consider is the presence of a physiological nipple.
The advantages of the physiological teat
Its use is especially important when the newborn is on mixed feeding or parents sometimes resort to feeding with expressed milk.
In order for the baby not to abandon his mother's breast in favor of a bottle, according to its characteristics, it should be as close as possible to imitation of breast sucking.
“At the initial stage, when lactation is just being established, it’s generally better to stop using a bottle and give the baby only the breast,” says lactation consultant Anastasia Kulikova . - Sucking a bottle is much easier, the newborn is still quite weak and can simply refuse his mother's breast. But if for some reason it is necessary to use a bottle, then choose options with a physiological nipple. It is most reminiscent of the shape of the nipple of the breast, in addition, please note that it should have one small hole. This means that the milk or formula from the bottle will flow slowly and the baby will have to make an effort to suckle the bottle, just like when sucking on the mother's breast. As a rule, such nipples have a fairly wide base, which contributes to the wide grip of the nipple by the baby, as well as when sucking on the mother's breast.

1. Medela Calma bottle with smart nipple, 150 ml
Medela Calma bottle with smart nipple, 150 ml. Photo: yandex.market.ru The Swiss company has been producing products for newborns and their mothers for many years, the main feature of which is the support and preservation of breastfeeding. The Medela Calma Feeding Bottle with Smart Teat is designed specifically for mothers who want to establish and maintain breastfeeding, but for one reason or another have to use a bottle as well. The peculiarity of the bottle is in its nipple, a unique development of the company, which reproduces the vacuum sucking of the baby and prevents the swallowing of air. At the same time, the nipple has one size for the entire period of feeding, as well as in natural conditions. This version of the bottle allows the baby to retain the skills learned when sucking on the mother's breast, and easily move from breast to nipple and back when necessary. The disadvantages of this option include a rather high cost.
Also, some parents note that not all babies like the specific structure of the nipple.
There is an anti-colic valve in the bottom of the bottle that prevents air bubbles from entering the mixture. Many parents also like the sleek, stylish design of the bottle. Of the shortcomings, it is worth noting the rather high cost of the product. Also in the reviews, some mothers note that sometimes the bottle can leak.

Twistshake bottle with container, 180 ml. Photo: yandex.market.ru This option is more focused on children who are bottle-fed, although for a mother who is breastfeeding, but who resorts to supplementing her baby with a mixture, it will become an excellent lifesaver. The peculiarity of the bottle is that it comes with a container for storing the mixture and a shaker for whipping it.
It is important that it be homogeneous, without lumps. The bottle itself is made of safe plastic, the silicone nipple has a special valve that prevents excess air from entering the baby, which means it reduces the risk of colic.
In addition, the product looks stylish, a wide range of colors is available: from neutral whites, blues and pinks to purples, bright yellows and even blacks. Of the shortcomings in the reviews, they note that the white scale is not very visible on light bottles. Also, the lid is a little tight, which can create some difficulties when opening.

Many parents who used a bottle of this American brand noted that the so-called anti-colic system really works. The bottle is equipped with a special ventilation system (a technology patented by the company), and when sucking, the baby does not swallow air, as happens during feeding with the help of some analogues.
This means that the period of colic, which is already difficult for the baby, is not complicated. A nice bonus: the kit includes a small brush for cleaning the pacifier and ventilation system. Chicco Natural Feeling silicone bottle, with tilt and flexors, 150 ml. Photo: yandex.market.ru
Italian brand, one of the oldest in the production of goods for children and their mothers. The quality of products has long been trusted by many Russian parents. Chicco's line of feeding bottles is pretty well presented, most of them have a lot of positive reviews. In our rating, let's pay attention to the bottle of Chicco Natural Feeling.
According to the manufacturer, the use of bottles in this series brings the process of feeding closer to natural. The nipple imitates mother's breasts: it has a special velvety mum effect texture, reminiscent of a woman's breasts. A special ultra-soft silicone is used for the pacifier, which means that it is more comfortable for the child, while being durable.
The design allows for a proper wide grip, so the bottle should be suitable for breastfeeding. The double anti-colic valve reduces the chance of air getting in while the baby is feeding and the risk of colic. Among the shortcomings: some parents in the reviews note that the flow for the newborn may be stronger than necessary, and in this case it is better to use the bottle not from birth, but a little later.
An anti-colic system is provided: a special valve prevents the child from swallowing excess air. Parents who use the mixture like the wide neck, as it is convenient to pour it into the bottle. Then it is easy to wash.

Another glass and at the same time budget bottle in our rating. It has a small volume, it is convenient to use in the first months of a baby's life.
The milk nipple that comes with the bottle has a slow flow and an anatomically correct shape. There is a valve that traps air. The bottle closes with a special rather large cap, which can also be used as a glass.
The advantage of this option is the relatively low price in the segment. Of the shortcomings, parents note in the reviews a narrow neck and rather thin glass, so the bottle does not hold heat very well.

Bottle material
Most parents today prefer plastic bottles. Their advantages are that they are light, do not break, many are shaped with recesses to make it more comfortable to hold in your hand.
The main thing here is the quality of the plastic from which the bottle is made. It should be polypropylene, which does not contain Bisphenol A, does not emit harmful substances during sterilization and is safe for the newborn. Pay attention to the corresponding markings on the label.
As for bottles made of glass, this is a more environmentally friendly material, glass does not react during sterilization, does not absorb odors, which can be seen in some plastic bottles. But they are heavier than plastic ones, they break easily. Although there are a lot of adherents of glass bottles among parents, and most manufacturers necessarily have such options in their lines.
Size and shape of the bottle
A newborn eats small amounts of food, so at the first stage it is advisable to purchase small bottles - up to 140 ml. They are more compact and easy to use. A bottle with a larger volume will be less convenient, but it will last longer. A wide bottle is usually more comfortable to hold in your hand.
A plus will be a wide neck - it is convenient to pour the mixture into this and wash it.
Teat material
There are two options: silicone or latex. Latex nipples are brown in color, softer and often more appealing to babies. But they are short-lived and often require replacement. The silicone nipple is harder, which can make it difficult for weak premature babies to feed. But it keeps its shape better and lasts longer. Focus on the tasks that you set for yourself when using the bottle. If you want to maintain lactation and use an exclusively physiological nipple, it is better to choose silicone. For premature babies, latex may be better suited. In addition, the baby himself can declare his preferences and refuse one option in favor of another.
Shape of the nipple
The best option would be a physiological nipple, as close as possible to the mother's nipple, with a wide latch, which promotes the development of the same skills in the baby as when breastfeeding.
There are also orthodontic nipples with beveled nipples, it is believed that they favorably affect the proper development of the jaw system.
Flow rate and nipple size
Depending on the age of the baby, the nipples differ in the size and flow rate of the liquid coming from the bottle. For a newborn, a size 1 or 0 nipple is suitable (may vary depending on the manufacturer). It is also important to use a slow-flow nipple for the first month so that the milk or formula does not flow quickly, and the baby makes an effort to suckle the bottle, as well as suckling at the breast. The slowest flow is one small hole in the nipple. The more holes, the faster the liquid will flow to the baby. For example, a pacifier with two holes is best used after a month. All these characteristics are indicated on the instructions for the product, pay attention to this when choosing.
Anti-colic system available
Today, more and more manufacturers offer so-called anti-colic bottles.
They suggest the presence of a nipple with a special valve that does not allow air to enter the baby when feeding. There are also options when the "anti-colic" mechanism is placed in the bottle itself. This is a good option. But it should be borne in mind that these mechanisms do not always work one hundred percent, and it is not possible to completely avoid air ingress during feeding. In addition, colic is a natural physiological process, in some babies they are more pronounced, in others less. And the air that enters the baby's stomach during feeding is just one of the factors that can increase the manifestation of colic.
TOP-10 Rating of the best bottles for feeding newborns
Breastfeeding a newborn is a natural procedure for every new mother, but there are times when you need to switch to artificial feeding. For example, when a new mother plans to return to her old place of work in the first year of a baby's life, or simply when she wants to get a short break for rest, during which other family members will look after the child.
Therefore, a lot will depend on the correct choice of a feeding bottle. To make it easier to find the right accessory for your baby, we offer for your consideration a rating of the top ten feeding bottles from 0, compiled on the basis of the recommendations of medical specialists and mothers who have already used them.

TOP 10: Rating of the best bottles for feeding newborns0026
9 out of 5 1. "Nuk First Choice"
The top spot was given to the "Nuk First Choise" bottle, for its three main wonderful qualities - versatility, health benefits for the baby and durability. The bottle itself is made of wear-resistant plastic, which is difficult to scratch. In addition, it will not change its color even after a long period of use. The nipple that comes with the kit is made of soft and flexible silicone and does not let air through, so the risk of colic in the baby is minimal. If desired, you can additionally purchase other types of nipples that fit the bottle: there are six different types.
✅ Advantages of the feeding bottle:
- High-quality and healthy raw material used for the manufacture of nipples and bottles;
- Ergonomic and comfortable teat shape;
- Versatility;
- Clear and indelible gradation on the bottle.
❗ Warning:
- A number of mums have complained that the lid is not tight and the bottle may leak.
2. “Dr. Brown's
Dr. Brown's anti-colic feeding bottle is the best of the bunch and has a patented ventilation system designed to prevent your baby from swallowing air bubbles. This means that when using this bottle, the child is not afraid of colic. In addition, since air never mixes with milk, your baby is still getting the necessary vitamins: A, C and E-groups. The nipple in appearance resembles a female breast, so the transition to artificial feeding will be painless for the baby.
✅ Feeding bottle benefits:
- Does not contain harmful materials;
- Prevents the formation of air in the bottle and its swallowing;
- Reduces the risk of colic in a child many times over.
❗ What to warn about:
- Complex cleaning system: even a special mini-brush is provided for this, however, it is not very convenient to use;
- Graduation of the scale on the bottle is hardly visible.
Parent Review : These bottles are so nice and easy to use! I couldn't breastfeed, but I still wanted to breastfeed my baby. For this purpose, I used these bottles: my daughter adapted immediately, without any problems.
3. Philips Avent Natural
The most talked about and famous feeding bottle among Russian mothers. The Avent Natural design features an anti-colic valve that returns air back into the bottle. The feeding bottle is quite ergonomic, making it easy to clean and assemble. The appearance and shape of the nipples are suitable for both newborns and older babies. The safety of the goods has been verified by repeated tests of well-known medical organizations, and the products themselves are widely distributed in the CIS and can be bought at almost any pharmacy.
✅ Advantages of feeding bottle:
- Good wear resistance;
- Available for purchase;
- Fully compatible with the company's baby products: sterilizers, sippers and other products for babies;
- Easy to clean and assemble.
❗Worth noting:
- There have been complaints in the reviews about the operation of the valve to prevent air from entering the food: it can malfunction.
4. Comotomo Natural Feel Baby Bottle
One of the best bottles for the current year: in many tops it takes first place. Like most other modern feeding devices, this bottle is equipped with a special valve to cut off air from the milk formula, and the shape of the nipple imitates the appearance of the breast, for the baby to get used to the nipple more quickly.
The main advantage of the bottle is the material from which it is made: its soft walls will allow the bottle to shrink, which will help regulate the rate of milk flow.
Unfortunately, the bottle itself and its accessories are quite expensive, and there are not much more advantages than cheaper analogues of competitors, so only the fourth place.
✅ Advantages of the feeding bottle:
- Only materials that are safe for health are used;
- Good wear resistance;
- Existence of the valve for bleeding of air.
❗ Warning:
- High price.
5. "Tommee Tippee"
This fluffy bottle is light and comfortable in the hands, making it easier for the baby to feed. It is made of safe polypropylene and equipped with a well-thought-out air bleed system. An additional plus is the shape of the nipple that comes with the kit: it is very convenient for feeding and milk almost never spills.
✅ Advantages of the feeding bottle:
- Sophisticated air valve system;
- Easy to clean and easy to assemble;
- Ergonomic pacifier shape.
❗ Warning:
- Some mums have complained about the nipple designed for feeding newborns: according to them, the milk supply is too fast and in large quantities.
6. Munchkin Latch
The main advantage of the bottle is the teats that come with it. The developers of the product have made a really thoughtful shape, which greatly facilitates the feeding of the child. In addition, it ensures proper grip during feeding, so the outside air, along with the mixture, does not enter the baby's stomach. There is also an air release valve inside the bottle. The shape of the bottle correctly distributes the pressure inside the structure, so that the feeding process is almost 100% similar to breastfeeding.
✅ Advantages of the feeding bottle:
- Ergonomic and comfortable teat shape;
- All components are made from raw materials that are safe for the health of the baby;
- Existence of the valve for bleeding of air.
❗ Warning:
- When the bottle is heated in a water bath, milk flows out of the bottle.
7. «CHICCO Nature Glass» glass bottle
The seventh place was taken by the products of the Italian company.
Compared with similar products from competitors, it is more ergonomic and of high quality workmanship. The bottle is made of strong glass, besides, it retains the internal temperature for a long time. Latex was chosen as the material for the pacifier, and its shape facilitates the feeding process as much as possible.
✅ Advantages of the feeding bottle:
- The bottle is able to keep the temperature of the milk poured into it for a long time;
- Glass is strong and impact resistant;
- The teat is ergonomically shaped and made of first-class latex.
❗ Warning:
- Fairly expensive;
- Non-standard large volume and weight of the bottle;
- Obscure scale gradation.
8. Pigeon
Made by Japanese craftsmen, this feeding bottle has an unusual nipple shape and it got into our top list precisely because of its specific application. Since a silicone spoon is used instead of the usual type of nipple, it is suitable for those mothers who want to teach their child to eat from a spoon as quickly as possible.
Liquid food is delivered to it by simply pressing the bottom of the bottle.
✅ Feeding bottle benefits:
- Made in Japan;
- Low price;
- Rich starter kit;
- For those who want to teach their child to eat from a spoon.
❗ Warning:
- Specific use.
9. Playtex Baby Nurser
Another interesting product we have chosen because of the unique way of filling the bottle with formula. It is not poured directly into the bottle, but into special disposable bags. This provides several undeniable advantages. Firstly, after filling the bag with milk, you can bleed excess air from it, and secondly, the bottle itself is very easy to clean. The quality of the materials used for the bottle pacifier is also beyond praise. However, in our market it is quite difficult to get bags for pouring milk, and they also cost a lot of money. Because of these nuances, only ninth place.
✅ Feeding bottle benefits:
- Innovative feeding bottle filling system;
- Components are made from materials that are safe for health;
- Easy to clean.
❗ What to warn about:
- Rare and expensive consumables.
10. Canpol Babies (glass)
The best budget feeding bottle available today. The gradation of the scale is clearly visible on it, the glass is durable and impact-resistant. The nipple is made of silicone and provides a slow flow of formula. Given the price of the product, this is the best purchase option among inexpensive bottles: cheap and cheerful.
✅ Advantages of the feeding bottle:
- Low price;
- Good quality;
- Impact and tough glass;
- Only materials safe for health are used.
❗ Warning:
- No air bleed valves.
What else to consider when choosing feeding bottles?
The first is the material from which the bottle and its accessories are made. They must not contain harmful substances. The second is the volume and shape of the bottle. The third factor is the availability and quality of manufacturing of additional accessories and their availability on the market.
