When you are looking for a bottle that is the next best thing to you, this is the one! Made from soft-feel silicone that allows the warmth of the milk to be felt by baby and the softness that feels like a breast so your baby will be comforted when you are not an option. Loved by moms and babies, our easy latch-on, breast-like nipple feels closer to skin and mimics the natural flex and movement of a mom's breast for a comfortable feeding. 95% of moms reported that their baby accepted the super soft silicone nipple with skin-like feel and would recommend to others. All Closer to Nature bottle nipples feature an anti-colic valve to prevent the symptoms of colic by ensuring your little one ingests more milk and less air. Together with the bottle’s sensitive valve, the wide bottle neck encourages your baby’s intuitive feeding action. Designed to be held in the most natural position during feeding, the compact shape of the bottle also allows baby to be closer to you. The anti-static silicone coating keeps the bottle clean and hygienic by repelling dust particles and won’t retain any stains and odors left behind by breast milk or formula. The wide neck bottle makes cleaning easy, and the bottles are suitable for use in the dishwasher, microwave, sterilizer and bottle warmer. Easy to assemble and guaranteed no leaks when feeding your baby with an included lid and travel disc to prevent spills or leaks when on the go. 100% BPA, PVC and Phthalate free for your ultimate reassurance. Our Soft Feel Silicone Bottles are only compatible with our range of Closer to Nature nipples - available in a range of flow rates to keep up with your growing baby. We recommend changing your bottle nipples every two months or if they get damaged, weak or bitten by tiny teeth. Review: Perfect for Breastfed Babies! - I am so impressed with the Tommee Tippee Natural Start Anti-Colic bottles. My 5-month-old daughter absolutely loves them! The standout feature is definitely the silicone material; it is incredibly soft and truly mimics the feel of a mother’s skin, which made the transition so much easier for her. Why we love them: Super Soft Texture: The silicone body is squishy and comfortable for baby to hold. Breast-Like Nipple: The slow-flow design prevents nipple confusion and mimics a natural latch. Anti-Colic Magic: No issues with gas or fussiness after feedings. Easy to Clean: The 9 oz size is perfect as she grows, and they are a breeze to wash. If you’re looking for a bottle that feels natural and keeps your baby happy, I can’t recommend these enough! Review: Awesome bottles. - These are very nice bottles and high quality. They are large enough to hold plenty of milk, I needed at east 8 ounces so I didn't need new bottles as my goat gets older and needs larger meals. The nipples are nice and soft and they have a handy lid that you can put in between the nipple and bottle if you are traveling and don't want spills so you can store them in a bag, which is super nice. The bottom of them is like a silicone-type material, it is squishy and flexible and soft on the outside. Not slippery. The bottle has markings for amount on the side, which is nice for me because baby goats are fed in closely measured amounts as overfeeding makes them sick. The nipples seem like she likes them so far. Goats can be hard to get switched but she's been pretty interested in these. Very happy with these. I will probably get more if I need more bottles. I bought back up nipples as well in case. ## Features - Silicone Bottle Feels Like Mother's Skin: Our Natural Start Silicone Bottles are soft like a mother's skin and helps comfort baby while bottle feeding - Natural Latch For Baby: Our silicone bottle nipples are shaped to encourage a natural latch, reducing air intake and preventing nipple confusion when switching between breast, bottle and back again - 100% Leakproof Bottle to Avoid Messes: When the screw ring, nipple and cap are all secured, your baby bottle is completely mess-free and 100% leakproof, even if it's turned upside down - Designed For Pace Feeding: The soft silicone nipple flexes and stretches like a breast and allows your baby to feed comfortably at their own pace and stop when full - Self-Sterilizing Bottles: Tommee Tippee anti-colic bottles can be easily self-sterilized in just three minutes making cleaning quick and convenient for busy moms ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B08J577DCN | | Age Range Description | Baby | | Best Sellers Rank | #6,825 in Baby ( See Top 100 in Baby ) #141 in Baby Bottles | | Bottle Nipple Type | Vented | | Bottle Type | Anti-Colic Bottle | | Brand | Tommee Tippee | | Capacity | 9 Fluid Ounces | | Color | Clear | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (2,628) | | Dish Washer Safe | Yes | | Global Trade Identification Number | 05010415227287 | | Is the item microwaveable? | Yes | | Item Type Name | Baby Bottle Set | | Item Weight | 0.25 Kilograms | | Liquid Flow Speed | slow | | Manufacturer | Mayborn Group | | Material Type Free | BPA Free, BPS Free | | Number of Items | 2 | | Unit Count | 2.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Bottle Nipple Type:** Vented - **Brand:** Tommee Tippee - **Color:** Clear - **Item Weight:** 0.25 Kilograms - **Material Type Free:** BPA Free, BPS Free ## Images ![Closer to Nature Silicone - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71BjV-3ajNL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does it come with slow flow?** A: Hello - Yes, these baby bottles come with Slow Flow (size 1) nipples. **Q: Is this nipple the slow flow or fast flow. I need the fast flow baby 20 months and won’t drink any bottle.** A: You mean the nipples that come with the bottle? They're slow flow. **Q: Can you squeeze milk into a baby’s mouth?** A: Yes, you can squeeze the bottle a bit and the milk/formula would come out. **Q: How long can the product be used?** A: It depends on how much a baby is drinking at certain ages. Our 4.5 month old is drinking about 4-5oz per feeding so I anticipate that we may have another 2-4 weeks before we need to move up to the next size bottle. Each of these bottles can hold 5.5oz. We love these bottles. The smaller size and soft ergonomic design has allowed him to start holding his own bottle at a early age. They are also very easy to thoroughly clean and sterilize. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect for Breastfed Babies! *by C***E on March 18, 2026* I am so impressed with the Tommee Tippee Natural Start Anti-Colic bottles.

Its high quality and unlike plastic, you only have to replace the nipples as baby grows. Platic needs to be replaced every 3 months. These are good forever as long as you keep them clean. They don't leak as long as the nipples are on tight. For 12 bucks, you get 2 bottles, 2 nipples, 2 caps and the leak free plastic insert. Honestly, I would use these for every baby from now on. As baby starts to grow, but aren't big enough for medium flow nipples yet, you can squeeze these to give them a little extra milk, which is nice. ## Frequently Bought Together - Tommee Tippee Natural Start Anti Colic BPA Free Silicone Baby Bottles, 9oz, Newborn 0+ Months, Silicone Feels Like Mother's Skin, Slow Flow Breast-Like Teat, Pack of 2 - Tommee Tippee Natural Start Baby Bottle Nipples, Fast Flow, 6+ Months, Breast-Like for a Natural Latch, Anti-colic Valve, Soft Silicone, Pack of 6 - Tommee Tippee Advanced Anti-Colic Baby Bottle Nipples, Medium Flow, 3m+, Pack of 6 Soft Silicone Breast-Like Bottle Nipples for Natural Latch, Works with Tommee Tippee Advanced Anti-Colic Baby Bottles --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/231606082-closer-to-nature-silicone](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/231606082-closer-to-nature-silicone) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-05-06*
