Slow warm time

The Comotomo bottle impresses with its eco-friendly silicone, breast-like nipple, and overall simplicity. It offers uncomplicated assembly with only three parts, and the silicone body and nipple ensure that the formula/milk has minimal contact with plastic. The silicone also provides a soft, breast-like surface for babies to grasp when feeding. The nipple is softer than average and has a vent on either side to help your baby ingest less air with each swallow. This silicone is durable, and thanks to its wide-neck design, cleaning this bottle is simple, even without the best baby bottle brush. However, you'll likely want a small brush to ensure that the nipple valves are clear of residue to keep the milk flowing freely and prevent the growth of bacteria.

We like the advantages of silicone over plastic for the body, but there are some downsides. The pliable structure doesn't create a stiff bottle body, and because the bottle's base is much narrower than the top, it can tip over. Also, silicone's soft and squeezable nature may spray a small stream of milk from the nipple when slight pressure is applied. Despite these relatively minor drawbacks, the Comotomo is one of our favorites, and we would use or recommend it to a friend.

Body material: Borosilicate Glass | Bottle mouth: Wide

REASONS TO AVOID

Asymmetrical nipple

No sleeve

The NUK Simply Natural Glass is a glass bottle that meets our criteria as a top-notch bottle. The borosilicate glass is relatively durable, and the simple design of the bottle makes it easy to use, fill, and clean. One of the best parts about this bottle is the nipple. It's soft, has a unique flattened tip, and a wide nipple mound, which we believe is more breast-like. This nipple is ideal for babies who regularly switch back and forth between bottle and breast.

Glass is more likely to break if bumped or dropped, and NUK does not offer a protective sleeve (even as an accessory). While we love the nipple, it requires a bit more attentiveness from the caregiver because you must correctly position the asymmetrical shape in the mouth, or it may feel awkward for the infant. Plus, the nipple vent should be placed directly under the baby's nose; otherwise, it will not correctly release pressure. However, it is easy to work around these peculiarities with extra care, and our testers loved using the NUK Simply Natural. We think this contender is worth considering if you're searching for an outstanding glass baby bottle.

REASONS TO AVOID

Difficult to read volume markings

Breakable

The Evenflo Vented + Glass bottles use tempered glass that is not as strong as borosilicate but still somewhat resistant to bumps and temperature changes thanks to special chemical treatment. We love that Evenflo offers a bottle priced on par with budget plastic bottles while still being made with eco-friendly materials. We did not have any problems with this bottle leaking during testing, and the nipple is soft enough that most babies can latch right on. This bottle is easy to assemble and clean with only three parts, although the small vent on the bottom of the nipple may require a tiny brush to clean appropriately.

While we love plastic alternatives, you must take extra care with these bottles. Evenflo does not offer a protective sleeve, and tempered glass is one of the least durable materials we encountered. The narrow nipple base is less breast-like, and breastfed babies may have more difficulty with this style. The narrow neck opening also makes it a bit more challenging to clean and fill, and you will need to purchase a special bottle brush. However, compared to similarly priced bottles, it is hard to find one with this many perks. If you are on a tight budget but want a glass bottle for health or eco reasons, Evenflo is your best bet.

Body material: Silicone and Plastic | Bottle mouth: Wide

REASONS TO BUY

REASONS TO AVOID

Hard to read volume markings

Stiff nipple

The Boon Nursh has a unique design, and we are impressed with its performance. It's a ventless system that uses a silicone drop-in pouch that collapses as the baby drinks to reduce gas-producing bubbles that can upset babies' bellies. The wide neck opening makes filling during bottle-making easier, and we consider the wide nipple mound more breast-like. The silicone liner is flexible enough to be turned inside out and cleaned with a regular sponge, although we still recommend using a small brush to reach the inside of the nipple. One of the perks of having a solid plastic shell is that it creates an excellent level of stability that isn't typical of silicone bottles.

We appreciate a bottle that provides a boob-like experience, and the hard plastic shell keeps babies from feeling the breast-like, squishy silicone body. Also, the nipple is a bit stiff for our liking. However, we think this stiffness prevents nipple collapse, as the anti-colic method relies on a vacuum that prevents any air from entering the bottle. The volume markings are numbers found on the plastic shell and correspond with stripes on the silicone liner. Even in a brightly lit room, the markings are difficult to distinguish and even more difficult in a dim nursery. However, we loved using the Boon Nursh and think the collapsible liner may work for super burpy babies.

Why You Should Trust Us

We purchased each product in this review for hands-on testing. Our extensive testing took place in-house at BabyGearLab, which includes side-by-side comparisons to evaluate critical metrics like leakage, ease of cleaning, eco-health, and more to determine the best. Also influencing our final analysis and rank of products is feedback from infant testers and their caregivers.

Baby bottles are tested across 5 performance metrics in our review.

Leakage (30% weighting of overall score)
Nipple (25% weighting)
Ease of Cleaning (20% weighting)
Eco-health (15% weighting)
Ease of Use (10% weighting)

The bottles each undergo real-world testing with tiny testers, and we combine that feedback with more than 9 in-house tests to influence our ranking. Tests include leak testing, including upside down in a diaper bag, nipple feel, pliability, flow, and latch-ability, as well as eco-health research and ease of use.

The BabyGearLab Team is exceptionally knowledgeable and passionate about baby bottles. Overseeing this review is BabyGearLab founder Dr. Juliet Spurrier, a board-certified pediatrician and mother of two. Relying on her experience as a mother, medical training, and practice as a physician, Dr. Spurrier selects top products to put through extensive testing. Also contributing to our review with hands-on, real-world testing is MaryAnn Wofford, a mother to 6 children and has over ten years of professional nanny experience.

The four parts of the PopYum are all relatively easy to clean, but a bottle brush is necessary for the oddly shaped nipple.The formula gets scooped and stored in the nipple section of the bottle.

Analysis and Test Results

With so many baby bottles to choose from, it may be hard to tell the difference between manufacturers' features and claims to be the "best." We think some specific qualities can make your baby bottle days much easier or more complex, depending on your choice. We suggest pre-determining how you plan to feed your baby and what features are important to you before investing in a bottle for your little one.

Investing in a high-quality bottle may be a good choice depending on your lifestyle.

Value

When purchasing a baby bottle, you should consider how much you plan to use it. Are you planning to bottle-feed exclusively? If so, you will want a durable bottle that stands the test of time. If you plan to mainly breastfeed and occasionally supplement your baby's diet with formula, then a bottle's functionality may be less critical. Another consideration is the cost of healthier materials. A plastic bottle, like the Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature or Lansinoh, is a lightweight and economical option with a well-liked nipple. Also, plastic options can work well for travel or daycare. However, plastic's lower price may not be as high of a priority if you value using eco-healthier materials like glass or silicone. The Evenflo could be a great everyday bottle that uses a healthier material, which is glass, and it's budget-friendly. Otherwise, we think the Comotomo is a well-rounded option that offers excellent value. It's easy to use and should last the duration of your baby's bottle-feeding years, making it a good value for longevity.

A leaky bottle is the last thing you want to worry about when feeding a baby.

Leakage

The last thing you want to worry about is leaking. Plus, once your baby's hunger strikes, you will want to whip up a bottle, screw on the top, and soothe your hungry baby ASAP. None of the bottles leaked when correctly assembled during testing, so the key to our testing was which bottles could easily be incorrectly assembled. In our opinion, bottles with fewer parts, such as the Evenflo Vented + Glass or the Comotomo, are less likely to trip you up, resulting in fewer leaks.

Top performers in this metric are the Comotomo and Nuk Simply Natural. You are more likely to experience leaks from a poor latch than from the cap of these bottles.

Baby bottle nipples come in all shapes and sizes.

Nipple Type

One nipple type doesn't necessarily work for all babies, and it can be challenging to know which one your baby will prefer. We recommend narrowing the options to a few brands and purchasing one bottle from each to test for a few weeks.

Almost all nipples are silicone and vary in shape. Some are stiffer, whereas others are softer. There are a few common characteristics that babies typically like. In general, the more breast-like the nipple is, the more likely a baby will get a good latch. A nipple with a broad base is usually best. Most manufacturers offer various flow rates, ranging from slow to fast. Selecting the right level for your child can depend on a few factors, such as the child's age and if they're nursing because you will want to select a nipple flow rate with the same effort as breastfeeding to avoid preference. You can locate the nipple's flow rate on the packaging or the nipple itself. The NUK Simply Natural Glass has a flattened nipple tip and soft silicone, which closely imitates the breast.

Frequently Check Bottle Nipples
Check the nipple for discoloration, thinning, cracks, or breaks, and replace them if you notice signs of wear and tear.

Anti-Colic Features

Swallowing air during feeds is one of the most common ways for babies to trap gas bubbles in their digestive tract, which can cause discomfort and fussiness. Every baby bottle in our lineup has an anti-colic system or claims to limit the amount of ingested air. The Dr. Brown's Natural Flow Original has a more complex anti-colic vent system using multiple parts, and some parents of colicky babies often swear by this bottle. Other contenders use a vented nipple, which allows a small amount of air to pass through a hole in the nipple base to prevent a vacuum. The Lifefactory Glass Bottle has ridges on the nipple's base that serve the same purpose.

The single nipple vent is located on the bottom edge of the nipple and fits just inside the upper rim of the bottle.The nipple on the Comotomo has dual anti-colic vents.The nipple on the Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature has a single anti-colic vent.

Others have an additional component that allows air in and out of the bottle. The Joovy Boob Diamond has a collar that fits the bottle's rim and leaves a bit of space without milk release.

Last, as seen in the Boon Nursh, having no vent can also be an effective anti-colic system. This bottle features a silicone liner that seals tightly with the nipple and creates a vacuum. As your baby drinks, the liner collapses to relieve the pressure without the need for added air.

We suggest handwashing all plastic bottles and parts, despite being dishwasher-safe.

Ease of Cleaning

All the bottles in our review claim to be "dishwasher safe" by the manufacturer. However, as a general rule, we strongly recommend handwashing, especially for those with plastic parts, to reduce the potential for chemicals to leach and prolong the product's life.

The Comotomo and mimijumi are the most simple bottles in the group. These bottles are a cinch to clean with fewer parts and a wide neck opening. Our least favorite bottle to wash is the Dr. Brown's Natural Flow Original. Its anti-colic system has several parts with nooks and crannies, requiring a special brush to thoroughly clean smaller crevices. However, if this bubble-reducing bottle works for your little one, it may be worth the extra effort.

We highly recommend using a top-ranking baby bottle brush for handwashing, and even a special brush, which can help clean smaller be more challenging to clean than others. A baby bottle with a narrow mouth opening can spray as you pull the brush out, but wide-neck options are less likely to create a messy spray. The Boon Nursh has only two parts that need actual scrubbing. Both can be turned inside out and cleaned with a regular sponge.

The baby bottle competition uses various materials, such as glass, silicone, plastic, or a blend.

Eco-Health

Eco-health is very important to us. Keeping this in mind, most bottles we tested are glass or silicone, which are generally considered safer for babies and the environment than plastic.

Plastic baby bottles are widely available, and we understand why they remain popular. Plastic is more affordable, more durable, lightweight, and can be more convenient to use. However, given the potential risk of chemicals leaching and exposure to microplastics, it's not our preferred material for feeding. Therefore, plastic contenders tend to rank low in this metric, especially the PopYum. Not only is the entire bottle made of plastic, but it also has pieces and more plastic mass overall than other bottles.

The PopYum, Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature, and Dr. Brown's Natural Flow Original are some of the plastic bottles we looked at.

Advice on Plastics

Some evidence suggests that high temperatures and shaking from the bottle preparation process can potentially increase and release microplastics into a baby's bottle. Here are some tips when using plastic bottles:

Warm formula or breast milk in a glass or stainless steel container in a bowl of hot water (not in a microwave) and allow it to cool to room temperature before transferring it to a plastic bottle.
Let a plastic bottle cool after sterilization, then rinse a few times before adding liquid
Toss plastic products that are scratched, cloudy, or damaged
For extra caution, consider replacing plastics after every six months.

Some glass options include the Lifefactory, Joovy Boob Diamond, Evenflo Vented + Glass, and NUK Simply Natural Glass.

Baby bottles that use borosilicate glass rank higher among the competition. Borosilicate glass has an entirely different chemical makeup that is highly durable and helps bottles endure significant and student temperature changes without breaking. These bottles generally last a long time and can typically handle daily usage. The Joovy Boob Diamond and Lifefactory Glass Bottle score highly, as they use this type of glass, create an environment where liquid has little to no contact with plastic, and come with a silicone sleeve for added protection and grip for little hands. We also appreciate that the packaging of the Joovy Boob Diamond mentions that the glass is thermal shock resistant, allowing it to go from freezer to bottle warmer. The NUK Simply Natural Glass is a close runner-up. While it doesn't offer a silicone sleeve, it uses borosilicate glass.

Comparatively, tempered glass, which is what the Evenflo Vented + Glass uses, is created by treating regular glass with a chemical or thermal process to increase durability and lessen the likelihood of breakage from drops and bumps. It is more resistant to heat, but it is still not a good idea to go straight from the freezer to the bottle warmer with tempered.

The Comotomo and the Boon Nursh both have bodies made primarily from silicone.

Silicone is an excellent compromise among the various material options. It is much healthier than plastic and more durable and lighter than glass. Silicone bottles used to be a rarity, but today, the market is bursting with new options. Silicone products in our lineup include the Comotomo, Boon Nursh, and Nanobebe Flexy.

Interestingly, the Chicco Duo is a hybrid bottle, unlike any other contender in the lineup. The interior uses a very thin layer of glass called INVINCI-GLASS, which adheres to a plastic exterior. Essentially, it seems to combine the best of both worlds; your baby's milk touches the glass, and the plastic makes it durable and lightweight. Being a newer concept, we began researching this material but ended up sort of empty-handed. Therefore, we had a few questions for Chicco, such as: How do you know if the glass interior experiences breakage or damage? Here's what Chicco shared with us:

"Technology for the Duo bottles is proprietary. They are developed using an advanced patented technology that has been in use in medical and pharmaceutical products… The bottles are made in the USA and meet all state and federal regulatory requirements." — Chicco

In our opinion, Chicco did not share as much information as we would have hoped. Their answer lacked the kinds of details that would have helped us feel confident about recommending this new technology. While we aren't saying anything is wrong with it or the hybrid bottle, we are hesitant, given the vagueness. In addition, we discovered evidence from other users of bottle rims melting during the sterilization process and concerns about potentially broken glass going undetected inside the bottle (reported by users online). Other products in the review use materials that feel more familiar and bring peace of mind regarding eco-health, without the remaining questions we had with the Chicco.

The buttons on either side of the PopYum bottle can be squeezed with one hand so you can still keep track of baby with the other.

Ease of Use

Newborns can eat as frequently as every 2 hours, and if you're bottle-feeding, chances are you'll be handling (and cleaning) baby bottles upwards of 8 times a day for the first few months. We suggest selecting a product that is effortless to use. You should ask yourself, how many pieces will I have to assemble and clean? How tricky is a liquid transfer? Is it comfortable to hold? Our favorite bottles have very few parts and are fool-proof to assemble.

The Comotomo ties with the mimijumi and the NUK Simply Natural Glass for the easiest bottles to use. All three earned matching high scores. Bottles with a wide neck opening are much easier to mix formula or pour breastmilk into, reducing waste and eliminating the mess. However, those with narrow neck openings, like the Evenflo Vented + Glass and Lifefactory, can result in liquid loss or mess. The most complicated bottle in our testing is the Dr. Brown's Natural Flow as it has many parts and pieces to assemble, disassemble, wash, and dry, taking more time than any other bottle we have used.

The volume markings are a bit difficult to read when the bottle is empty.The volume markings are on the silicone sleeve, rather than directly on the glass, as is the case in most bottles.There is not much contrast between the volume markings and the rest of the bottle, so you must catch the light in order to read them.

If you want to monitor how much liquid your baby is consuming, we suggest selecting a bottle with distinct volume markings. Also, ask yourself, is it comfortable to hold? How about for your baby? Glass bottles like the Lifefactory or the NUK Simply Natural Glass are heavier and more challenging for a baby to hold. Alternatively, plastic and silicone options are generally lighter and more comfortable for small hands to manage, and the Comotomo is lightweight and pliable for easy gripping.

The nanobebe bottle allows you to pump and feed your child using the same product.

Credit: Abriah Wofford

The Nanobebe is unique and unlike a traditional bottle. You can directly pump your breast milk into the bottle before bottle-feeding your child. It also doubles as a storage container and is stackable, making it a space-saving product. While this bottle may seem appealing, it didn't perform well, and it's not ideal for those using formula.

All the bottles brought something different to the table, but only a few came out on top.

Credit: Abriah Wofford

Conclusion

Many babies use bottles multiple times a day for more than a year. Even breastfed babies often use bottles when their mom is away or sleeping. This reality means selecting a baby bottle that you and your baby are happy with is critical for successful feedings. It helps to consider parent-driven factors, such as leaks, level of effort to clean parts, and convenience, in your decision-making process. However, on the baby's end, nipple type is equally important because not every nipple will work for every baby. Luckily, we've completed extensive testing to bring you the details you'll require to make an informed decision. While we can't say what features your specific baby may prefer, we feel confident there is something for every baby in our lineup, and we hope that our findings help you make a good choice for your family.

Best baby bottle to reduce gas/colic

Dr. Brown’s Natural Flow Original Baby Bottle

Price: $

As the name implies, this is a classic. Dr. Brown’s reasonably priced bottles have been preferred by many parents for many years now.

The two-way vent system is designed to mimic the positive pressure flow of breastfeeding. This may make it one of the best when it comes to minimizing air intake — and therefore gas, spitting, burping, and all the screaming that can accompany those uncomfortable things — for your baby.

You can use a variety of nipple flow sizes — such as preemie, newborn, and older baby — so you can adjust the flow of milk based on your baby’s ability to drink.

Pros

design helps baby take in less air when feeding
lots of nipple sizes available

Cons

many parts to clean

Best baby bottle for breastfed babies

Comotomo Baby Bottle

Price: $$

This bottle was — along with Dr. Brown’s — by far the top parent favorite in our research. The Comotomo Baby Bottle, while pricier than many other options, was reported to provide a superior feel and function when it comes to mimicking mama’s breast.

It’s made of soft, squeezable silicone that babies seem to love holding — and also allows you to control the flow to help mimic mom’s letdown reflex. It has a very wide nipple base and a more realistic nipple shape and feel. This allows baby to latch and suck in a very similar manner to when they nurse at the breast.

For moms worried about nipple confusion in their breastfed baby, this bottle earns the top spot.

It also has a venting system built into the nipple base (rather than separate parts), which makes it easy to clean and may be helpful for reducing gas. All parents we talked to, whether feeding formula or breast milk, loved this bottle.

Pros

easy for babies to hold
mimics breast shape and feel

Cons

nipples may need to be replaced over time
pricier than other options on our list

Easiest to clean baby bottle

Philips Avent Natural Baby Bottle

Price: $

Another all-around favorite, the Philips Avent Natural baby bottle is a great choice for those looking for a venting system and a design with a wide base and shorter nipple, and best of all — ease of cleaning.

It doesn’t have a bunch of tiny pieces to deal with. (In our book, parenting is complicated enough. If there’s something you can simplify, it’s a win.)

Parents love the shape and ease of use and report that this bottle has a high acceptance rate by babies. It comes in several sizes and nipple flow rates.

Pros

simple design with few parts
venting helps prevent gas
sippy cup lids that fit on bottles also available

Cons

buying more nipples can get confusing since the brand makes a ton of different bottle shapes

Best baby bottle for babies who don’t like taking a bottle

MAM Easy Start Anti-Colic Bottle

Price: $

MAM is well known for its pacifier nipples, which have a shape and texture that a very high percentage of babies seem to love. They’ve brought that same technology and experience to their baby bottle nipples.

While every baby’s different in their bottle preference, these orthodontic nipples have a soft texture and shape that many babies — even those who aren’t convinced a bottle is the way to go — accept.

This bottle also has a great venting system designed to minimize air swallowing. It’s reasonably priced and comes in a variety of sizes and nipple flow rates.

Pros

unique nipple shape and texture appeal to babies
has a venting system that’s designed to minimize gas

Cons

many parts to clean

Best baby bottles for preemies

nanobébé Breastmilk Bottle

Price: $$

This is one of the most unique baby bottles out there — it’s actually shaped like a breast. This shape allows easier warming of milk — which helps prevent over warming, which damages breast milk — and faster cooling once refrigerated to help prevent bacteria growth.

Pros

may help preemie babies transition from bottles to breast more easily
unique shape helps warm milk more effectively

Cons

shape may not fit in all bottle warmers

Shop now at Amazon

Dr. Brown’s Options+ Slow Flow Bottle Set

Price: $

The Dr. Brown’s Options+ bottles have all the same great benefits as the Original Dr. Brown’s mentioned above. Parents love the venting system which is by far the top-rated by parents when it comes to reducing gas, colic, and spit-up.

Pair the Options+ bottle with a Dr. Brown preemie nipple, which is the slowest flow available, to make a feeding setup ideal for the tiniest humans.

Pros

top rated venting system
nipple options are available for preemie babies

Cons

many parts to clean

Best baby budget bottle

Medela Breast Milk Bottles

Price: $

If you don’t think you’ll be using bottles very often, are a fan of simplicity, or just don’t want to break the bank, Medela baby bottles are a great option.

Several of them come free with your Medela breast pump (which may also be free, through your health insurance) and you can purchase more at a reasonable price.

They’re simple, easy to clean, have several nipple flow sizes, and attach directly to your pump for easy pumping and feeding.

Pros

bottles are simply designed and fit Medela pumps
good for milk storage and feeding

Cons

no anti-gas technology

Best baby bottles for older babies

Munchkin LATCH Transition Cup

Price: $$

While technically a cup and not a bottle, the Munchkin LATCH Transition Cup can be used for babies as young as 4 months old.

Most doctors recommend starting to introduce a cup around 6 months, and most babies can transition off a bottle around 1 year. Transitioning from a bottle to a cup is important to prevent dental and some feeding issues.

Pros

helpful for making the transition from bottles to cups
can be a good option for babies who won’t take a bottle

Cons

some reviewers mentioned their baby liked to chew on the spout rather than drink from it

Shop now at Amazon

Munchkin LATCH Bottle

Price: $$

This is the bottle version of the cup mentioned above, and many parents love it. It features an ergonomic shape, a simple venting system (aka easy to clean), and a soft flexible nipple that many babies accept.

There is also a valve at the bottle that’s designed to help prevent air bubbles.

Pros

anti-colic design helps prevent air bubbles from forming
compatible with popular breast pump models

Cons

the flexible nipple can collapse during feeding
some parents didn’t like the valve design

Best glass baby bottles

Jooby Boob Diamond

Price: $$$

While all bottles are now required to be made from BPA-free plastic, many parents prefer to use glass bottles to avoid the risk of leaching chemicals into their baby’s milk — especially when heating milk or sterilizing bottles.

The Joovy Boob Diamond does a nice job with its venting system, ease of washing, and silicone sleeve option that can help with grip and prevent breakage if the bottle is dropped.

Pros

glass design could mean less chemical exposure
easy to clean
silicone sleeve can help prevent breakage

Cons

glass is heavier and could break
not ideal for travel or on the go

Evenflo Feeding Classic Glass Bottle

Price: $

These glass bottles from Evenflo have been around for years — they might even be what you drank from as a baby.

They’re wildly popular for a number of reasons: The twisted design makes them a little easier to grip than some glass bottles, they’re easy to clean, they’re glass (versus plastic) for those who prefer it, and they’re inexpensive. You can get a value pack of these bottles for about $3 per bottle.

Pros

trusted bottles that have been used by parents for years
easy grip design
good value for the price

Cons

glass can break

Best baby bottle with a bag

Playex Baby Nurser with Drop-In Liners

Price: $

While a little old school, many parents love the Playtex baby bottles with disposable liners. They have a disposable bag insert that you fill with breast milk or formula and then toss after feeding. This makes cleanup a breeze! You really just have to wash the bottle nipple, which is great for parents on the go.

Interestingly, this bottle also ranks right up at the top for babies with gas or colic issues. The bag collapses on itself as your baby drinks, so less air gets gulped. These bottles come in a variety of sizes and nipple flow rates.

Pros

great for using pumped and stored breast milk inside a bottle

Material

Baby bottles have come a long way in recent years. While options used to be more limited, you can now find bottles made from plastic, silicone, glass, or stainless steel.

Plastic

Plastic bottles are easy to find, lightweight, easy to clean, and generally hold up well to frequent drops.

As of 2012, they’re no longer made with BPA, a chemical that caused some concern and one that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is still researching for safety.

Bottles and cups made before 2012 likely still contain BPA, so it’s best to avoid older hand-me-downs.

Keep in mind that even if a bottle says it’s BPA-free, there’s a chance it could leach other chemicals, especially when heated. Research from 2011 found that many commercially available plastics — even those that were BPA-free — still leached chemicals.

If you’re concerned about chemicals or plan to heat milk in the bottle, you may prefer not to use plastic.

Silicone

Some baby bottles are now made with nontoxic, food-grade silicone.

Similar to plastic bottles, silicone bottles are lightweight and relatively easy to use. They’re softer and more pliable than plastic bottles, so you don’t have to worry about them breaking.

Some silicone bottles can be turned all the way inside-out, making them easier to clean than other types of bottles.

Glass

Many top rated bottle brands have a glass option available.

Glass bottles don’t have the risk of chemical leaching that plastic may have, but they’re heavier. Shattering glass is a safety concern as well. They can last a long time, provided they don’t break.

Stainless steel

Stainless steel bottles are a lightweight alternative to glass. They can dent if dropped, but some come with protective sleeves.

They can’t be microwaved, and some caregivers dislike not being able to see how much milk is left in the bottle as their baby drinks.

A 2015 study found that stainless steel may leach into food. However, the research focused on acidic food that was cooked in stainless steel.

Nipple

In addition to the materials of the actual bottle, another primary consideration as you shop is the bottle nipple. Nipples come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and flow rates.

There are:

regular bottle nipples, which come in slow, medium, and fast flows — sometimes labeled 1, 2, or 3
orthodontic nipples, which are designed to better mimic the human nipple
specialized nipple sizes, such as for premature babies
nipples specifically designed for babies with cleft palate

Each baby is different in their needs and preferences, so it can take a little trial and error to figure out the best option for your little one.

Start by making sure you’re selecting a nipple that’s the right flow rate for your baby’s age and size. Typically, younger babies should use slower nipples, and older babies should use faster ones.

If you use a flow that’s too fast for your newborn, they may choke and take in a lot of air, which can cause gas and fussiness. If you use a flow that’s too slow for your older baby, they may become frustrated because feeding is so much work.

If you’re primarily breastfeeding, you may want to start with a bottle nipple that mimics the natural breast to avoid nipple confusion.

Price

Depending on the size and whether you get them in a value pack, baby bottles tend to range from $2 up to $20 each. You can typically buy replacement parts (such as nipples or sealing rings) separately as needed.

Bottle shape

Bottles come in lots of different shapes. There are:

standard, or narrow, bottles
wide-neck bottles, which have a wider opening than standard bottles
angled bottles, which are said to help prevent your baby from swallowing air
bottles with bags, which are meant to mimic breastfeeding and make cleanup easy

Some bottles may also have indents on the side to make them easier to hold.

There’s no one “best” bottle shape. It all comes down to what works best for your baby, and what’s easiest for them (and you!) to use.

You can help things go smoothly by following a few bottle-feeding tips:

When first introducing the bottle to a breastfed baby (preferably after 4 weeks of age, once breastfeeding is well established), it may help to have a different person — such as your partner — try giving the bottle. Baby is more likely to reject the bottle if they have the option of the breast.

Try offering the bottle an hour or two after baby nurses (so when they’re hungry — but not hangry, if you know what we mean).

If you give your bottle a good ol’ college try and your sweet pea just won’t have it, you may want to try another option. Babies, for reasons best known to them, can be very picky.

Cuddle your baby close, and coo and talk to them. This helps with bonding and development of communication skills. It also reduces stress — for both of you!

Keep your baby slightly propped up in the crook of your arm, so they aren’t trying to drink lying flat.

Never microwave a bottle of breast milk or formula. This can damage breast milk and cause “hot spots” that can burn your baby. To warm the bottle, use a bottle warmer or sit the bottle in a mug of hot or warm water for a few minutes. Always check the temperature of the milk by dripping a bit on your wrist before offering it to your baby.

Make sure you’re using the right nipple size — too small and your baby will have to work hard and may become frustrated; too large may have your baby gagging and choking.

Keep the bottle angled to help with less air swallowing, and burp your baby once or twice during the feeding session.

Keep your baby upright for 15 to 30 minutes after feeding to help reduce spit-up.

Don’t let your baby fall asleep with a bottle or prop the bottle up for your baby to take by themselves. While convenient, these practices can increase the risk for tooth decay and ear infections.

Keep your bottles, nipples, and all other parts clean. Wash everything with hot soapy water and bottle brushes. You don’t need to sterilize bottles after every use, but do this occasionally. Babies have immature immune systems, and are more susceptible to infections than adults.

Don’t push your baby to finish the bottle if they seem done. It’s good for babies to learn to follow their own hunger cues. If you’re worried that your little one isn’t eating enough, give your pediatrician a call.

If your baby seems colicky, try:
- adjusting the interval between feedings
- reducing the amount given at a single feeding
- talking to your pediatrician about switching formulas
- laying your baby tummy down across your arm and rubbing their back
- swaddling or rocking to see if this helps keep your little one more comfortable

What is the best soap to wash baby bottles with?

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), there’s no specific kind of soap to use for cleaning baby bottles. However, some parents like to avoid scented dish soaps or soaps with harsh ingredients.

You can also use soaps that are made specifically for cleaning baby bottles and dishes, like this one from Dapple, which is certified clean and free from phthalates, parabens, sulfates, synthetic fragrances, and dyes.

How often should you clean a baby bottle?

Bottles should be cleaned after every feeding with soap and water to avoid bacteria from forming.

When should you replace a baby bottle?

Replace the bottle if it cracks or chips. Nipples should also be replaced if they crack, rip, or show discoloration. If they start to wear thin or feel sticky, it’s a sign they are deteriorating.

You’ll spend a lot of time feeding your baby during their first year. Regardless of your feeding choice, you may give your baby a bottle at some point (or around the clock).

Some babies don’t accept bottles at first or struggle with gas, spitting, and colic. Choosing the bottle that best fits your baby’s needs may help make the process smoother and more comfortable for both of you.

When to consult a doctor
If your baby is having feeding issues or fussiness that isn’t improving with a change in bottle or nipple type, talk to their pediatrician.

We hope this has helped you sift through some options for bottles to help get you and your baby through the first year well-rested and well-fed. Cheers!

Best baby bottles: top 5 - ROCROS

Even if you plan to breastfeed your baby, you still need a baby bottle. It stores and expressed milk, and water, and milk mixtures, and cereals. Well, for those mothers whose babies are already on artificial feeding, without such a device - generally like without hands.

How to choose a feeding bottle for a newborn? It would seem that nothing complicated. However, in fact, there are several "pitfalls" that you should be aware of in advance. And without the tips of bottle manufacturers, this issue is not so easy to figure out.

The best bottles for feeding newborns: how to choose and what to look for

Material

The bottle should be made of a safe material - glass or polypropylene. Glass is a great choice, it's eco-friendly and doesn't retain odors. Such bottles are durable and they have only one drawback - they are quite heavy. However, many mothers prefer glass bottles, and manufacturers often offer this option in their product lines. We recommend using it during the first months of a baby's life. After the child becomes interested in drinking on his own, holding a heavy bottle will not be so easy for him.

Plastic bottles are more popular than glass bottles due to their light weight. Usually they are made of a safe material - polypropylene (the packaging should be labeled "BPA-free").

Polypropylene is a plastic that is free of harmful chemicals. In particular, it completely lacks bisphenol-A, which is found in polycarbonate. Baby bottles were made from polycarbonate until 2010. But then it was proved that with improper use (strong heating, melting, or mechanical damage), polycarbonate emits harmful chemicals. So, before buying a bottle, it is better to carefully read the information about what it is made of.

Anti-colic bottles and teats

Anti-colic bottles and teats are very popular these days. Inside such a bottle there is a special ventilation system that prevents the child from swallowing air. But even if it is not there, it's okay: the anitacolic mechanism often occurs in the nipples. Thanks to him, air bubbles do not enter the baby's tummy, and therefore reduce the risk of colic. Therefore, if you see a hole at the side of the nipple, do not rush to write it down as defective. This is exactly the valve that releases air from the bottle when feeding the baby.

However, it is worth remembering that colic is a natural physiological process, and several factors influence its occurrence. So, your bottle is unlikely to be able to completely rid the baby of colic.

Shape of the bottle

The ideal bottle must of course be a comfortable shape. There are bottles with a narrow neck and a wide neck. We recommend using both types. The wide-mouth bottle is easy to fill with formula or liquid, while the narrow-mouth bottle is easy to take on the go. The size of the neck of the bottles is standard for almost all manufacturers.

Feeding bottle sizes

100-150 ml bottles are suitable for newborn babies. An older child needs a 250 ml bottle. The volume of the largest bottle is 350 ml.

How many bottles to buy for a newborn

We recommend buying six bottles of different sizes: two small 125 ml, two 150 ml and two 250 ml. Start small. Larger bottles will come in handy later on. In any case, they will not be superfluous: you can always use them for water or juices. We also recommend buying two nipples - in the form of "cherry" and beveled (orthodontic). Which one is better, your baby will determine for himself - it is always a "matter of taste." Therefore, it is better to immediately purchase several options.

What is the flow rate

Depending on the age of the baby, teats differ in the flow rate of milk or formula. If you are breastfeeding a newborn baby (up to a month old), it is best to use a slow flow teat. This means that there should be only one small hole in it. Then your baby will not be able to choke, and will calmly drink milk at his own pace. The number of holes and size in the nipple increases as the baby grows.

As a rule, teats are marked for what age they are intended for. Also, manufacturers recommend using one nipple to feed the baby with a mixture / water / baby tea, and others - for feeding porridge. It is important to follow these guidelines. The nipple for feeding porridge has a larger hole - so that dense porridge passes through it without problems.

There are also universal nipples. They are marked "with variable flow". They are designed so that you yourself can adjust the size of the hole by changing the side of the bottle with the nipple during feeding. So, the flow rate here can be made slow, medium and fast.

1st place. Avent bottles

If you search for "The best bottles for newborns", any search engine will probably give you Philips Avent Natural. This is one of the most popular brands of baby bottles in Russia, which has won the love of mothers for many years. Avent bottles have many advantages:

Another good choice. Dr. Brown's has made a name for itself as a manufacturer of anti-colic bottles from the very beginning. So, these bottles have a patented ventilation system that helps fight baby's colic. The tube, which is located inside the container, prevents the formation of a vacuum and prevents the child from swallowing air. Well, since Dr. Brown's patented their system, now only they have the right to use such a design - a straw in a bottle. True, this feature does not allow you to wash the container without using a special brush that is included in the kit.

3rd place. Pigeon 9 bottles0009

Pigeon bottles are made in Japan, which in itself speaks of their high quality. And here the question is not only in the standards of the manufacturer, but also in strict control by the state structures that issue the certificate. The Pigeon line includes bottles and nipples for premature babies. These bottles are glass and the nipples for them are made of very soft material, which makes it easier to feed babies with a weak sucking reflex.

Pigeon bottles are usually either milky or golden. The nipple is made in such a way that it resembles a mother's breast and does not cause confusion in the baby's nipples - at least that's what the manufacturers say. It also stimulates natural sucking. If your baby is breastfed, he will not wean from the breast and will not prefer the pacifier to her. Like the two previous manufacturers, the anti-colic system reduces the risk of colic. So, advantages:

Pigeon feeding bottles

For newborns, the force of flow should be medium, and older children will need active delivery. It is desirable to have an anti-colic valve to prevent belching and colic in the abdomen.

Here is the best feeding bottle to choose:
