Best Baby Bottles in the UK

Understanding that baby colics not only make infants uncomfortable but also create a living nightmare for new parents, the MAM company has come up with an innovative baby bottle that can stop that all. It’s an anti-colic model that ensures a smooth drinking flow with no air ingress. This is achieved owing to the unique design with the ventilation holes in the base. That is to say, the bottle ventilates via the bottom, so the breast milk or baby formula flows without air bubbles. As a result, your baby swallows no air. To boot, the MAM bottle is proved to reduce colic in 80% of cases.

Moving on, the bottle is made with a super-soft teat that makes the transition from breastfeeding easier than ever. It has a silky soft silicone surface that can also be found on the high-quality MAM pacifiers.

Another perk is that this baby bottle is fairly simple to clean since it can be dismantled into several pieces. Therefore, you’ll be able to get into all the nooks and crannies and have peace of mind knowing that no old milk is stuck somewhere.

One more advantage is the fact that the bottle can be self-sterilised right in a microwave. Just fill it with 20ml of water and heat it in the microwave for 3 minutes.

The Lansinoh Baby Bottle is an award-winning product that is based on over 50 years of research to become one of the best in the industry. It’s full of innovation, comfort, and boasts premium ventilation system. Actually, it’s a top choice of those mums that are willing to continue breastfeeding but sometimes need to spend some time apart from their little ones.

Unlike many other bottles that babies refuse to take, this one has the closest feel to a mummy's nipple. The teat is ultimately soft and flexible, allowing breastfed babies to latch on perfectly. Also, the teat has a special shape to help your baby maintain the established sucking style learned at the breast - it encourages a baby’s ‘wave-like’ tongue pattern. So, your kid will be able to easily switch from breast to this bottle, and then back again.

Within long years of research, the folks behind Lansinoh developed the teat that has a gradual slope design that not only maintains breastfeeding patterns but also promotes natural oral development.

As for the bottle design, it has an ergonomic shape and is comfortable to hold. By the way, it’s available in both plastic and glass.

Tommee Tippee is probably the biggest name in the market of baby’s goods. It creates bottles of all shapes and styles so that everyone could find a perfect one. And what we have here is one of the most popular models by the brand. It’s reasonably-priced, grippy, and very versatile.

By versatile, we mean that this bottle is compatible with different teats including slow flow medium flow, fast flow, and vari flow options. The slow flow teat is recommended for 0+ month infants; medium flow for 3+ month babies; and fast flow option for 6+ months. All the teats are silky soft and can be easily interchanged if bitten by tiny teeth. Also, they flex and feel like mum’s nipple, so a natural latch acceptance is guaranteed in up to 97% cases.

Importantly, each teat has an anti-colic valve which reduces excessive air flow, ensuring your child ingests more milk and less air.

When it comes to the bottle itself, it offers a good grip and is easy to hold. Its compact shape enables you to feed your baby in a very natural position while staying close to your little one.

As a nice touch, the bottle is available in 150-ml, 260-ml, and 340-ml capacities. Also, you can choose the packs of 1,2,3,4 or 6 bottles in a bundle.

To recap, Tommee Tippee offers bottles for any need. And this Closer to Nature Clear Baby Bottle is high-quality, flexible, and adaptable. It’s one of those rare products that can grow with your baby.

Philips needs no presentation. It’s the leading health technology company focused on improving the well-being of adults and kids alike. The company never cuts corners but still delivers high-quality products for moderate costs. And the Philips Avent Classic+ is a great proof. For less than £13, you can receive three 260-ml baby bottles.

Each of these Philis bottles boasts an Airflex venting system as well as the textured teat - this combo is claimed to minimise feeding interruption and discomfort. In other words, the valve flexes and the air is vented towards the back of the bottle rather than getting into your baby’s tummy.

Furthermore, the Philips Avent anti-colic valve has been proven to reduce night fussing by up to 60% compared to similar anti-colic bottles.

We can admit that the bottle is also quite comfortable to latch owing to the ribbed texture of the teat. It ensures a secure latch and prevents teat collapse. Additionally, the Philips Classic + bottle effectively prevents leakage while feeding.

Last but not least, the bottle has a unique shape and is easy to grip in any direction, even for baby's small hands. With that, it has a wide neck, making filling the bottle and cleaning it a hassle-free process.

If you’re an eco-conscious mother looking for the first bottle for your infant, the NUK First Choice Glass Baby Bottle can tick all the right boxes. It’s an amazing environmentally-friendly bottle that is suitable for combined feeding.

Whereas it shouldn’t come as a surprise that the teat of this model mimics the shape of the breast, you may be stolen with the fact that it’s made of biodegradable latex and can be recycled at the end of its usable life. The same goes for the bottle itself that is manufactured from eco-glass. And it is not only a better option for the planet but also a safer alternative to plastic ones in terms of hazardous elements.

Another benefit is that it’s fairly hefty and doesn’t feel like it can easily smash. In addition, it seems to last much longer compared to plastic milk bottles, which is great if you would like to save money in the long run.

Like most other bottles for newborns, this one has an anti-colic air system that minimises the swallowing of air. It’s worth emphasising that it’s orthodontically shaped for 0-6 months babies. To be more precise, its teat adapts ideally to the palate of the smallest kids.
