9oz Easy Start Anti-Colic Baby Bottle - Medium Flow, Red

Our review of the 9oz Easy Start Anti-Colic Baby Bottle finds it best for parents who need a breastfeeding-friendly bottle that also eases colic and reflux. The single biggest reason to buy is its dual anti-colic system: a vented base plus a SkinSoft silicone nipple that together minimize air intake and closely mimic a mother's nipple, making transitions between breast and bottle simpler. The reviewer found the bottles easy to sterilize and clean, and noted strong acceptance by breastfed infants thanks to the soft, natural-feel nipple.

Key Features

• Dual Anti-Colic System: A vented base reduces air intake so feedings are gentler and help minimize gas and colic during and after feeds.
• Breastfeeding Friendly Nipple: The medium-flow SkinSoft silicone nipple is designed to feel like a breast, aiding mixed feeding and acceptance by newborns and preemies.
• Self-Sterilizing Design: The bottle can be sanitized in the microwave in minutes and is also dishwasher-safe for quick, convenient cleaning.
• Wide Nipple Acceptance: With 94% nipple acceptance reported, switching between breast and bottle is less disruptive for most babies.
• Grows With Baby: The bottle accepts all MAM nipple sizes so parents can change flow rates without replacing bottles as their baby grows.
• Eco-Friendly Materials: Made from bio-circular, BPA-free materials for a safer-feeling, more sustainable feeding option.

Who It's For

This bottle is ideal for parents of breastfed babies who need an easy transition to bottle feeds, and for caregivers managing colic, gas, or reflux who want a solution clinically shown to help. It suits newborns through older infants thanks to interchangeable nipples and a medium flow that balances pace and comfort.

Parents who prefer a very simple, no-frills bottle may want to compare sizes and flow options before buying, and those who exclusively use a different nipple shape at home should test acceptance since nipple feel varies by infant.
