Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature Baby Bottles, Breast-Like Nipples with Anti-Colic Valve, 9oz, 3 Count

I wish I would have started with these instead of the Avent bottles. I was gifted a ton of them at my shower and also recieved some as samples so I was fine with them in the beginning but as time goes on I'm starting not to like them. Dont get me wrong Avent bottles are ok but Tommee Tippees are way better. They dont have any extra parts so very easy to assemble and clean. Also love the slow flow so my baby does not choke and these don't leak thankfully. Also the anticolic vent is built into the nipple and my son adjusted well with no fussiness. He seems to be having an easier time with the nipple. The shape actually looks like a real nipple to me and the design is perfect for babies. Also I repeat..... no extra parts or pieces to take apart which makes cleaning easier! I wish I would have known about these sooner but I'm planning to order more.

Great bottle for good price! I have tried and researched bunch, not even sure how many... So here is my personal thoughts and quick review... My all time number one bottle is ComoTomo, hands down best bottle ever made, this one comes in at 2nd place. It is easy to clean, no need for a brush. That was my number 1 must have. Works well, baby seems to like it a lot, good nipple as well. Air vents well, super important! ( Tommee Tippee colic ones are the WORST ones, do not buy, air vents do not work at all, nipple sucks inwards. As you are feeding your baby you have to pull the bottle to make all air come out, very stupid design) Also at least for me it was the packaging - bottle is stylish and simple, just what I wanted. Would recommend, great bottle!!!

In my opinion these are the best bottles you can buy. I pump everything so I care more about the vent/ flow than the shape of the nipple. I tried Dr. Browns, avent and madela bottles and none of them worked as well as TT closer to nature. A friend with "very gassy kids" recommended these. The vent system works great no bubbles AND no annoying pieces to assemble and clean. That being said, I wish they were already selling extra slow flow nipples in the US because I think a lot of newborns have trouble keeping up with the 1s especially BF babies. As of now they only come with the first feed bottle which is more expensive but worth every penny. Once we switched to the 0 nipples my husband said it was like having a different baby. At 12 weeks we are just transitioning to slow flow (1) with success. I'm so thankful we found these so my daughter is happy after she eats instead of gassy and crabby.

I bought these bottles before my son was even born since they claimed to be the "close to nature", and I was happy to find that they were wonderful! When my son was a couple weeks old I had to switch between bottle and breastfeeding because he was eating SO much, and I never had any issue at all with nipple confusion or anything. I use these bottles everyday now since I couldn't keep up with my son's eating habits (almost two months old and already eating cereal with his 6-8 ounces a feeding), and I couldn't be happier with them. He didn't have any issue with taking the nipple when we first introduced him to the bottle and we still haven't had any issues. I find myself buying more and more every couple of weeks because the 5 ounce bottles are too small and Amazon has the 3-pack at a steal of a price. If you were looking into getting these bottles I would recommend buying the 9 ounce rather than the 5 ounce because you can put as much or as little as you'd like in the 9 ounce and you won't find yourself doing what I've been doing lately (buying more 9 ounce and having a huge supply of 5 ounce bottles).

I LOVE Tommee Tippee bottles for these reasons: They are wide enough, to where when I handwash them, I do not have to use a bottle brush, because I can fit my hand and sponge in there. I LOVE not having to use a bottle brush... The design of the bottle (the curvy shape) makes it easy for my little one to hold the bottle herself, from around 4 or 5 months old and beyond. She's 10 months old now, and I can still tell that this bottle is easier for her to hold than the traditionally shaped narrow bottle, like the one Dr Brown's one I own. Since these are wider, that makes them shorter as well. So I have no problem using just the 9 oz ones, even when my baby was only drinking 2-4 oz at a time (rather than spending more money on the 5 oz bottles as well). These 9 oz bottles are not that tall. Even though they say they are dishwasher safe, I have always handwashed them, just because I felt like I could guarantee their cleanliness better. Hence, I cannot speak unto how well they hold up in a dishwasher. I've not had issues with any of them staining or yellowing, but I've only used them w/ breast milk or formula...not w/ juice or anything else. I even have some left from my older child who is now 3, and although I don't use them, they are still in a nice, clean condition. They hold up well.

I bought these Tommee Tippee bottles so that I would have a sufficient number when I babysat my twin grandsons. I bought this brand because my daughter was using them at her home and fortunately, I kept them after my daughter decided to wean them off the bottle. I now baby-sit my infant grand-daughter and my son gave us three bottles (two of A... brand and another brand). I used the latter bottle once but didn't like it as there was a piece on the bottom for some unknown reason and thus, four pieces to keep track of to assemble one bottle! The two of the A brand were adequate except that you had to be extremely careful to align the nipple correctly in the screw-on collar or you would have formula leaking all over. So, I got these Tommee Tippee bottles out and my grand-daughter was fine with them. I never realized how efficient this brand was as I only had two pieces to keep track of (I rarely used the snap-on dome tops). So, returning the three bottles to my son and will be using the Tommee Tippee bottles whenever I baby-sit my grand-daughter. I never realized how many different bottles were out on the market but I think the simpler it is to use and clean, the better you will like it.

I used Tommee Tippees for my first and both babies took to them easily. I was able to transition from bottle to breast with no hesitation from either boy. My now 9 month old is able to grab the bottle easily with the hourglass shape and likes feeding himself. The breathing hole works great too to help release trapped air. You just need to remember to pinch the vent before attaching the top to the bottle. Love this brand and it has yet to fail me! The thin rubber of the nipple is what I think helps/helped my boys transition. It doesn't feel stiff at all and it is very easy to clean.

My baby doesn’t drink from bottles or sippy cups. She doesn’t drink enough from this bottle to fill up her tummy but something is better than nothing. She only chews other bottles but drinks a little from this one. It is soft, shaped like breast, easy for her to hold. There were negative reviews about this leaking so, I was concerned. But, I found out that with Dr. Brown’s bottle you can just pull the nipple once and it will fit in the ring. This one if you pull little hard, it come right through the ring. Once you pull, you have to look inside and make sure all sides are within the last ring.
