Pros
A few commenters who were exclusively breastfeeding their baby found bub took to the Minbie bottle without any issues which made them very happy.
One reviewer said: “Being exclusively breastfed she preferred the boob always but thank you to Minbie she now takes a bottle no problem and I can get some freedom.”
Other parents also thought their baby had fewer burps after drinking from this bottle. “She didn’t seem to have as much burps afterward.”
Cons
Some parents said their bub didn’t like the shape of the teat. “I found the teats a little firm and the lipstick shape not quite right for my little man.”
Example review
“Buying bottles for the first time is stressful. So many different teat designs and when breastfeeding, you want something that doesn’t take away from the natural nipple feel. This bottle perfectly complements my breastfeeding journey so that my partner can feed bubs occasionally and give me some personal R&R. The teat design didn’t upset bub like other bulky, round designs. It also didn’t give him gas like some other brands we’ve tried.”

Pros
Parents say they found the Tommee Tippee bottles easy to clean, and love that there is a whole range of colours.
“The teats are easy for a baby to take a bottle, especially when transitioning between breast and bottle,” said one reviewer.
Cons
Some parents found the bottles to be too big, but many also liked that about the Tommee Tippee bottles.
“They are on the bigger side but I find them actually comfortable to hold, and my little ones don’t seem to have any trouble holding them,” a parent wrote.
Example review
“My baby loves to have these bottles and only these bottles. They are the closest ones to the real thing and it shows by how well it works. I’ve never had a problem with him taking the bottle from day dot. Which also makes it easier to transition. They also can be laying flat and not spill which helps when they fall asleep and the bottle falls to the floor.”
