The Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature Feeding Bottle features a soft, natural-feel silicone teat for an easy latch.

Importantly, the bottle is also BPA-free.
$19.95 for a 260ml two-pack of bottles.
Parents in the Tell Me Baby community say they love the shape and design of this bottle. Others say this bottle is easy to take apart and clean. One reviewer said: “The teat is shaped like a boob, so I didn’t experience nipple confusion with either of the kids.”
One parent said, “Over time after washing and sterilising I’m finding the bottle discolours a little and some of the numbers start to come off, but it’s not a big deal at all.”
“Started using these bottles as they came with the breast pump, I liked that they mimicked the breast the most from a brand you could but in your local supermarket. The anti-colic valve was good for letting air into the bottle. The bottles come in multiple sizes the smaller ones were great for the newborn stage, and the larger ones were good for storing extra boiled water for our formula feeds. The bottle has a contour which is good to help baby hold onto.”

Its specially designed breast-shaped teat promotes easy latch-on, helping nursing mothers to combine breast and bottle-feeding more easily. In contrast, the innovative twin valve design reduces colic and discomfort.

Parents in the Tell Me Baby community love that you can change the teat depending on the flow you want, without having to buy new bottles. Others love the wide neck, which they say makes it easier to scoop formula in.
Although the main feature is its breast-shaped teat, some parents have had issues with it.
“I have used these bottles with all 4 of my babies. They don’t leak, all 4 babies have been able to latch well and have not had any problems moving from breast feeding to bottle feeding using these bottles and teats. I highly recommend these as they have a natural feel soft teat.”
