Comotomo Natural Feel Baby Bottle 3 Pack

I needed to supplement my baby because she had a medical issue and was struggling to gain weight. This meant needing to use bottles regularly early on in our breastfeeding relationship. At first we tried dr. Browns and Tommee Tippee bottles and they did the job as far as a well shaped nipple (similar to breast) but we ran into the problem of the flow being too fast, even with the slowest flow nipple. This caused our wee one to show preference to the bottle over the breast and she was starting to resist going back to the breast after a bottle. (She was no dummy; the bottle was a lot less work!)I did my research for which bottle was most recommended for breastfeeding babes and this one kept coming up. I was hesitant because of the price, but I shouldn't have been! These are the best bottles I have used for a breastfeeding infant. This is why:Benefits:The nipple shape resembles a real breastThere are no special valves or pieces to mess with making it easier to wash or grab in a hurryYou can use up every last drop of milk because it doesn't get caught up in any pieces, which is wonderful when you're pumping and every drop of milk is preciousSlow flow nipple really is slow flow and only has one small hole in it, therefore making baby work harder for it, in turn making it less likely to cause nipple confusion/frustration when nursingConsPrice (but to me, it's worth it)Size of bottle makes it difficult to fit into bottle warmer

Best bottle for breastfeeding moms! They never leak! They are soft and squishy for baby to touch like the breast. They have a wide nipple to simulate the breast and has the best flow rate! The flow is slow and steady she never sputters or chokes it is very close to the rate she goes when breast feeding. No problem with spit-up or burping. I don't notice any difference after eating then when I breast feed. The wide mouth on the bottle makes them very easy to clean and they are really easy to reassemble. Some reviewers felt the silicone attracted dust but I haven't found this to be a problem. I have a dog which fur everywhere and I've never noticed any sticking to the bottles. You do have to fill these on a firm surface like your counter because they are slightly more prone to tipping. This isn't a problem once assembled as they don't leak. I have never lost any precious breast milk. I started using these at 3 months when I went back to work. They took away a lot of my anxiety about leaving my little one. They are a little bit of an odd size for bottle warmers. The comotomo Facebook page shows which bottle warmers they are compatible with (tons of choices) I tried out a bunch of different bottles and these were by far the best. I have no guilt using these instead of breast-feeding she's just as happy. Also I have no difficulty transitioning back and forth between bottlefeeding and breast-feeding. Absolutely worth the price! Great product!!! A must try!!

Oh...my...gosh...I'm so happy we learned about Comotomo bottles. As with many new mothers, we struggled with breastfeeding at first, and I had to pump all the time to feed the baby. We started with glass bottles from Life Factory (yay, glass! not plastic!)...but, we soon learned the flow of a regular bottle nipple was too fast. He'd finish a bottle in like two minutes!!!! Our midwife said we needed to slow down his feeding to help decrease chances of tummy upset and colic, she said to hold the bottle horizontal to slow flow, and also take breaks every 20 seconds to force slower feeding. I tell you, lots of burping, and increased puking. :( But then we learned about Comotomo, and it has a MUCH slower flow, and the nipple is more like a breast shape which helps decrease nipple confusion when you go from a bottle to a boob (as we were still trying to learn how to breastfeed). I was concerned about using anything other than glass, but these are supposed to be medical grade silicone and not leech chemicals...supposedly.... To be safe, we always heat up the milk in a GLASS container, and THEN put it in the bottle. We actually learned the hard way by heating up milk in a plastic bottle (Medela bottles, from my Medela pump) that it makes the milk taste like plastic (yea, that's right, we tasted it....had to see what baby was eating). Anyway, Comotomo bottles saved us. Love them.

I tried several other bottles, including Dr. Brown's, Avent and Evenflo. My breastfed son did not like those bottles. I was returning back to work after 3 months of maternity leave and was extremely concerned. My son would only take the breast and desired no other bottle. After speaking with a LC who suggested this bottle, I ordered it and to my surprise my son begin to drink. It took about a couple days for him to become comfortable with being fed the bottle but after a week he received the bottle well from his Dad and granny. All was well and we are 5 months in and he still loves his bottles! Great purchase! Love the shape of the bottle and feel! Don’t hesitate order it!Today is 12/18 and I just wanted to do an update. My sentiments remain as above. My son is now 15 months and he still enjoys this bottle. I enjoy the size and shape. Great product and I only ordered 6. We are still rotating between the 6. Yes I’m still breastfeeding and don’t anticipate on stopping until he is 2 1/2. He does have a sippie cup but he only drinks his milk from the bottles. Working on the complete transition now. ❤️😊blessings to all the Mommies and Daddies!!!

The lids are almost impossible to take off even with both hands which is frustrating when you are carrying a crying hungry baby while warming up milk. Also, the silicon bottles hold onto a very strong soap smell after using it in the dishwasher that won't go away and after leaving water in the bottle for a bit, the water tastes like soap. My baby likes the nipple even with breastfeeding but sometimes the flow gets stuck due the airholes clogging or something.
