Could be better, too many bubbles due to valve

These bottles take aim at the Dr Brown bottles by implementing a straw that guides the return air to the bottom of the bottle. The idea is to avoid bubbles in the milk. Unfortunately, Tommee Tippee have fallen short but can improve their product.I liked the colour strips to help with temperature. The wide neck makes it easy to put a spoon or chopstick into the bottle to stir.I believe the valve is too stiff and slams shut quickly when the baby stops sucking. With no other path, air is drawn up through the teat. This is exactly what the design is supposed to avoid. Why have the valve? It's there to stop milk from moving up the stem while the bottle is standing up, and then pouring out when the bottle is at an angle. I made the slit deeper on the valve, and added ... MoreThese bottles take aim at the Dr Brown bottles by implementing a straw that guides the return air to the bottom of the bottle.

It's there to stop milk from moving up the stem while the bottle is standing up, and then pouring out when the bottle is at an angle. I made the slit deeper on the valve, and added another slit at right angles to the existing one. This nearly eliminated the bubbles being formed, but now the flow rate out of the newborn teat is way too fast.Tommee Tippee, if you want to improve your product, you should look at what is done with the Dr Brown bottles. Their straw has no valve and instead they have a reservoir where they can trap all the milk in the straw. Your bottles can go from average to excellent, with a few small changes.

Good for gassy bubs

A great buy for bubs that have problems with gas and wind. The teat on the bottle feels very realistic and similar to Mums which is important (though will differ from person to person). The heat sensing strip provides peace of mind when doing late night feeds and feeling exhausted.Tricky to know whether the anti colic technology is having effect yet as we’ve just started using them, but it’s certainly slowed bub down when feeding, which is great as she’s a guzzler!Downsides that there’s lots of pieces to get into the steriliser and they can be a little tricky to wash.

Great bottles for newborns

These were great when my baby was a newborn! She wasn’t gassy and she liked the nipple. My only complaint is all the pieces there are to clean. You have to use the little brush and clean thoroughly to avoid build up. For people complaining about leaks, it only happens if you don’t close the lid correctly. It happened to us a few times until we learned to make sure. Oh, I will take one star off for this… it was hard to get every bit of the milk down to the nipple, so always felt like some was wasted!

Great quality!

I'm extremely happy with it!My baby was previously using another brand that was recommended to me being praised as one of the best, I wasn't happy as the bottles were leaking all the time! When I introduced this bottles to my baby it was a bit hard at 1st because she was used to the shape of the previous bottles , but after 2 days she leart how to use this ones and she's fine now. They are amazing as they don't leak and they are very easy to wash an clean afterwards. The brush is very convenient to clean inside the bottles, otherwise would I bit harder to do it. Also the dummy is great! Can't fault anything, quality of this products are outstanding as everything I own from the brand!

Leaks? YOUR NOT DOING IT RIGHT!

When putting these bottles together, they will leak if you do not put them together as intended. Make sure your nipple is actually pulled through correctly. I've mastered this bottle contraption for 3years. I know what I'm talking about. Best bottle advice ever here. This bottle is actually the best one on the market. The nipples are trash so I replaced them with the vented ones. The clear rubber flower that goes on the bottom of the airflow venting tube... Needs to be squeezed open after dried from cleaning. That's the most important part of the air flow valve. Then when putting lid on, back off (backwards/counter clockwise) until it drops down. That's when you know you've got it right. Tightening it should be a breeze. But obviously not too tight. Or your in ... MoreWhen putting these bottles together, they will leak if you do not put them together as intended.

That's when you know you've got it right. Tightening it should be a breeze. But obviously not too tight. Or your in trouble getting it off. I've learned buying a tub that collapses in the sink with a little drain helps wash these bottles. I pop everything (I'm quick at it now) off and drop it all in the hot water with clear non scented toxic free soap. I would do this throughout the day. Let them all soak. Finish up at night. Hang dry on wrack. All good for the night and next day. I did buy about 12 9oz bottles and alot of the vented nipples in replacement of their crappy one that comes with this bottle. Made my life way easier. It sucks to clean. It's a legit job. But it was my savior and I'm thankful for these difficult contraptions. Make sure to double check the white circled wheel part before putting together. I've had t boil water once a week and soak them for a a few minutes to remove leftover particles that can make your baby sick. Do not rely on cleaning machines. This is a hand wash bottle only!!! That's a only warning from me. I also drilled a bigger hole in the bottle holder to fit the tubes in. I have a specific way to dry these. Works perfectly. Good luck!

Not impressed.

These are barely acceptable bottles. They do leak like the other reviewers mention BUT the leaks only occur if you don’t have the vent pieces in the bottle. Zero leaks if it is assembled as designed. HOWEVER, the “shoulder” part of the bottle is essentially molded at a 90° angle - which means unless you literally pull the bottle out of your babies mouth and shake it, you will always waste formula because it does not run down into the nipple and instead gets stuck on that shoulder. They also have more parts to clean than any of the other bottles we tried. We bought a ton of different bottles for our newborn and these are our second to least favorite. They look nice, but function poor to average at best. The wide-top 5oz Dr. Brown’s are all around better than these, ... MoreThese are barely acceptable bottles.

Perfect

I switched over to these bottles from dr. Browns bottles for my 5 month old and they changed his whole eating game. He was spitting up consistently, belching after every meal and his bottles would leak immensely. These bottles he has been eating so well on, almost never spits up anymore and his burps don’t provide spit up also because of the air flow on these. He was a preemie so he is still a bit small but these have helped him so much. The nipple is also supposed to mimic a breast so it’s easier for them to grip. I just love these bottles and this brand in general.

Perfectly OK

I tried this bottle for my son when he was difficult to settle in the evenings.All the helpful advice I received told me he had colic, and so I bought this bottle to see if it made any difference (we were desperate!)At first impression I thought; “must be better than the other anti-colic bottles, I mean, look at that green stick!”.Feeding our son with this bottle did not seem to make one lick of difference in regard to his “colic” (and I’m now not convinced it was colic at all, but rather think it was a sleep regression). So overall I would not recommend the price tag if that’s what you are buying it for.In addition, the stick and base if not replaced correctly and clicked in on all sides (think: middle of the night, blurry-eyed feeds where you can barely ... MoreI tried this bottle for my son when he was difficult to settle in the evenings.All the helpful advice I received told me he had colic, and so I bought this bottle to see if it made any difference (we were desperate!)At first impression I thought; “must be better than the other anti-colic bottles, I mean, look at that green stick!”.Feeding our son with this bottle did not seem to make one lick of difference in regard to his “colic” (and I’m now not convinced it was colic at all, but rather think it was a sleep regression). So overall I would not recommend the price tag if that’s what you are buying it for.In addition, the stick and base if not replaced correctly and clicked in on all sides (think: middle of the night, blurry-eyed feeds where you can barely screw the teat on with any kind of accuracy, let alone a clicky stick) WILL leak milk everywhere. Trust me, there were a lot of spills before I learned to double check that.On the flip side, the bottle is nice to hold, is classic tommee quality (good) and the flow was ideal until he reached 12 weeks. At which time he grew frustrated with it fairly quickly.As a normal bottle, it was great. It even fit my breast pump and other standard tommee tippee teats, so it fits in with my collection quite nicely. I’m just not sure if that is worth $25 for 2 bottles (which is what I paid when I bought them)

There's a solution for the leaking!

Started off with massive leaking, but we seemed to fix that by 1. popping the "flower petal" tip at the end of the tube OUT after washing (cleaning often caused it to go in.) 2. positioning the insert properly 3. Screwing the lid on tight. Previously had the original Tommee Tippee bottles, THOSE nipples collapsed. These ones don't because (I'm assuming) of the pressure regulation within the anti-colic tube. We've had zero issues with that. We didn't notice much of a difference between these and Dr. Browns. The #1 reason I chose these over Dr. Browns is because of the wide opening. Making a bottle one handed with a narrow neck proved very challenging... and messy. Hah! There is NO benefit to me that I'm sitting here writing this review. Just appreciate thorough ... MoreStarted off with massive leaking, but we seemed to fix that by 1. popping the "flower petal" tip at the end of the tube OUT after washing (cleaning often caused it to go in.) 2. positioning the insert properly 3.
