Tommee Tippee Natural Start Anti-Colic Baby Bottles 9oz Pack of 12

Our review of the Tommee Tippee Natural Start Anti-Colic Baby Bottles looks at who will benefit most and why these bottles are worth considering. These 9oz bottles in a 12-pack are aimed at parents of newborns who want a simple transition between breast and bottle, with the single biggest reason to buy being the soft silicone nipple that mimics a breast and encourages a natural latch while reducing air intake. The review focuses on everyday usability, cleaning, and whether the anti-colic features and leakproof design hold up in real use.

Key Features

• Anti-colic valve: The integrated valve reduces swallowed air which can help ease baby discomfort during and after feeds.
• Natural latch nipple: The silicone nipple is shaped and flexible to encourage a natural latch, aiding babies who switch between breast and bottle.
• 100% leakproof: When the screw ring, nipple and cap are secured, the bottle stays mess-free even if turned upside down, useful for travel and diaper bag storage.
• Pace feeding design: The soft silicone flexes and stretches to allow babies to feed at their own pace and stop when full, which supports comfortable feeding sessions.
• Self-sterilizing: Each bottle can be self-sterilized in about three minutes, making cleaning quick and convenient for busy caregivers.

Who It's For

The Natural Start bottles are best for parents of newborns and breastfed infants who need an easy, low-friction transition between breast and bottle; the soft, breast-like nipple and anti-colic valve suit babies sensitive to gas or nipple confusion. The 9oz size and pack of 12 also suit households that prefer to have multiple bottles on hand for rotation between feeds and sterilizing cycles.

Those who should look elsewhere include parents who require specialized nipples for very fast or very slow flow beyond the provided slow flow option, or caregivers wanting bottles with additional measurement or material options not specified here. Opinions on leakage are mixed among users, so if absolute guaranteed performance under all conditions is critical, test one bottle first before relying on a full set for travel.
