Pros
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.”
Cons
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.”
Example review
“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.”

Example review
“I love that these bottles are of great quality. They don’t over-thread or leak. There is a great range of teats, and the colic ones worked great for my baby. I like that they also fit most other bottle tops, including most pump flanges which saved me a lot of time cleaning.”
