The 10 Best Bottles For Breastfed Babies

This wiki has been updated 19 times since it was first published in December of 2018. While breastfeeding certainly has its many benefits, it's also very time consuming and can lead to sore nipples for mom. But when new mothers try to wean their babies off the natural way, they can find that their little ones just won't eat. That's why we rounded up bottles specifically designed to make this transition easier for both infants and parents. When users buy our independently chosen editorial selections, we may earn commissions to help fund the Wiki.

1. Philips Avent

When parents discuss some of the most convenient items of this type, then the Philips Avent (appx. $29) is bound to come up. It features an anti-colic valve that removes air from the feeding process, and a flexible nipple that mimics mom's.

Wide neck for easy hand washing
Can be sanitized in boiling water
Comfortable ergonomic shape

2. Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature

Its unusual shape allows you to hold the Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature (around $7) in several ways. Grip its body, grab it from the base, or simply lay it flat on your palm when you're exhausted — its curves help it stay put. Plus, its price is attractive.

Textured nipple
Made from bpa-free materials
Stout size makes feeding easier

3. Comotomo Natural

If you're transitioning your little one from breast to the bottle, the Comotomo Natural (around $52) will make the change rather seamless. Its soft and round container feels like mother's body, while its nipple is easy to latch onto, even for fussy babies.

Can go in the microwave
Leakproof mouth
Slow and consistent flow

4. Lansinoh Momma

The Lansinoh Momma (around $15) has a skin-like material on the nipple that's stretchy and flexible in order to greatly reduce confusion for babies new to the bottle. It allows for a sucking motion identical to the one infants use on their mothers.

Mouth is collapse-resistant
Anti-slip matte surface
Works with all pumps from company

5. Mam Newborn Gift Set

An expecting mom will love to receive the Mam Newborn Gift Set (appx. $25) at her baby shower. It includes four bottles — two of which are five-ounce and two nine-ounce ones — along with a pair of pacifiers that are specifically designed for newborns.

Ideal for reflux sufferers
Charming graphics
Helps build up to drinking from cups

6. Kiinde Twist

Busy mothers will appreciate the innovative Kiinde Twist (around $12). If you opt to buy one of the pouches — sold separately — you can won't have to worry about transferring milk from a storage container into the bottle. Simply insert one and you are ready to feed.

Dishwasher safe
Includes nipples in two flow speeds
Body has a strange shape

7. Medela Travel

The Medela Travel (around $15) is available in a slow-flow, five-ounce for newborns, or a medium-flow, eight-ounce for babies three months and up. Its measurement markings are very accurate and easy to see during feedings, so mom knows exactly how much her baby consumes.

Secure caps prevent leaks
Come with a micro-steam bag
Nipples can be stiff

8. Dr. Brown's Wide-Neck

Designed to reduce spit-up and burping, the Dr. Brown's Wide-Neck (appx. $19) can make feeding time less messy, but parents also have the option of removing the vent system. These are a favorite of moms and dads of little ones who alternate between breast and bottle.

Available in a preemie size
It is simple to fill
Can leak sometimes

9. Playtex Drop-Ins

Mothers tend to rave that even babies who refuse to give up real nipples for other bottles will do so for the Playtex Drop-Ins (appx. $9). Their pre-sterilized liners cave-in slowly as your munchkin feeds, just the way momma's breast would.

Utilize hassle-free disposable bags
Tips can be angled
Color is chosen for you

10. Munchkin Ultra

The nipple of the Munchkin Ultra (about $13) requires baby to apply a little pressure before it will release milk, just like mother's breast. Its flow is not so fast that your cutie later rejects mom, which is nice, but, unfortunately, it's cumbersome to wash.

Not easily clogged by clumps
Good for tots up to two years old
Nipple collapses too often
