Advantages: great shape,anti colic

Disadvantages: pricey

I first saw these bottles advertised in mother and baby magazine when i was pregnant with my first son and after reading a little about them went ahead and purchased some never looking back.
The Bottles are meant to have a teat on them which mimics the action that the breast makes when breast feeding your baby therfore making the change between breast and bottle easier on your baby and also you.I was planning to breast feed but didnt know if i would like it, get along with it etc so i thought best to have some bottles ready.The bottles come in two different sizes...the smaller bottles hold up to 5oz and come with size 1 teats on which are the slowest flow rate so ideal for newborn babies.The other size bottles hold up to 9oz and yet again come with the first size teats.
The bottles come in packs of 2 for £5.99 or 3 for £7.99 they are available pretty much everywhere and they also do a limited edition set which are blue for boys and pink for girls.These are very cute and indeed did make me want to but them...lol
The teats are on sale seperately for purchase as the baby gets older they need a faster flow rate....size 2 is from 3 months and size 3 for 6 months and above.These come in packs of 2 teats for £3.49 roughly maybe a little more or less depending on retailer.
I have never had a problem with these bottles from day one, they teats & bottles are easy to clean.The teats have an anti colic valve which i think must work as my babies have never had colic at all.The valve needs to be opened by giving it a pinch or else your baby will have trouble when trying to feed.....i only found this out by accident !! One other thing i have never had with these bottles are leaks which is another plus point as i hear that about pretty much all the other bottles out there.Not nice to have a baby covered in milk he hasnt even drunk yet !!
All round yes they might be a little more expensive than some bottles out there but they look good, work like a dream and keep my baby colic free

Summary: excellent bottle no leaks
