Olababy Gentle Baby Bottle (4oz, Coral)

My baby rejected pacifiers and every standard baby bottle on the market—until we gave her this one! We bought every pacifier and baby bottle and nipple from Target, and some from other stores, and she rejected them all. We are lucky to have had her home breastfeeding for 8 mos, but as her daycare start date loomed near I started to be extremely concerned about her taking a bottle and worried she wouldn’t eat all day or just be crying all day. The first time she tried this bottle, we actually used the newborn bottle and nipple and she latched for seconds at a time. This was a big improvement as she wouldn’t even let a Dr Brown, Avent, etc nipple in her mouth. We decided to get the larger bottles with the medium sized nipple to help it seem similar to a letdown. It worked! She actually latched to these bottle nipples on the 3rd try and she drinks from these at daycare now. They are SO easy to clean. I’m used to the Dr. Browns from my first baby and all the annoying parts to clean, and needing both types of bottle brushes. These bottles could not be easier to clean, just a quick scrub from the bottle brush after soaking. Plus they are actually pretty and soft to hold. Lastly, my baby had reflux bad enough to need medication in her early months. She has not had any reflux issues, gas, NOTHING from using these bottles. Now, that might just be because she’s grown out of it. But I’m happy it isn’t worse!

Great bottles

So, we've been Mam bottles users since my daughter was born and she's now almost 9 months old. They've worked really well for us. I'll list the things I don't like with them quickly and then move onto the main reason I ordered the Olababy bottles. Main dislikes of Mam: - 4 pieces to clean. - The base collects water and takes an extra wiping after putting in the bottle warmer. - The 8oz. bottle is tall, annoyingly so, doesn't fit in the lunchbox we've used since she was born and drinking it in her crib is uncomfortable for her (we'll be moving away from crib bottles soon, but there is a period of time when that should be taken into consideration). The latter is why we decided to look at another bottle brand. I've used comotomo in the past as a nanny and knew I wouldn't like that they fall over easy, I've also used Dr. Browns, Avent, and BornFree. Since she can hold her bottles now, I went with these for comfort, along with the fact that they can stand up without falling over. The Mam bottles the nipple isn't round, so you have to have the bottle turned a certain way. This bottle has a round nipple, but with it being offset, it also has the requirement of needing to be held a certain way. My baby manages to get it turned back to the correct position when she decides to twist the bottle in her mouth, but I'm sure she spills a little through the vent here and there. I love these bottles a whole lot more, 3 pieces to clean, slow flow nipple (even purchased slow flow for the larger size bottles), transitional sippy top (purchased, haven't used yet), and silicone handle (also haven't used yet) are all really cool features. We'll use one of her 5 oz. bottles as her sippy cup this week. My baby isn't picky at all, she wasn't breastfed (the latch was too painful), so I've been pumping since she was born. She has only used the Mam bottles, but had zero issues adjusting to the Olababy. New things are her favorite right now, so I didn't see it being a problem. I like that the larger size Olababy bottle is not as tall as the Mam ones. They still fit in her lunchbox and the silicone adds to the grippiness of the bottle, so she can hold it easier than Mam. We love the Mam trainer sippy cups though, so should be interesting to see if we decide we like the Olababy accessories better. We'll keep both sets of bottles for the next baby just in case we end up with a picky one. As a reference for new parents: I'd recommend getting 5-8 of the smaller bottles (makes it easier to pack them and clean them when your baby is little). We used 8 ourselves, but always had one or two clean, even after not doing bottle dishes that day, so I'd say 6 would work well. And only 3-5 of the larger size bottles. Once your child is drinking 6+ ounces a sitting, they are only having a max of 5 bottles a day. We've just moved ours to 6 ounce bottles and she's drinking 5 bottles over the day and night. Every now and then she'll have a snack bottle of 2-3 ounces (leftover from a pump), so we use the smaller size bottles still (and will convert that size to a sippy).

Wow! Just wow! This bottle totally surprised and amazed me. I have always been a traditionalist when it came to my kids. I have two and with the first one we breastfed and then used mostly glass bottles. However, with my daughter who is now 19 months, we decided to try something new. The glass bottle was fine, but we had a few break (once when my son was eating (emoji for scared face), so our friend sent us some info on silicone bottles and we checked out the GentleBottle. It has made everything so much easier and better for my daughter. She is a bit more colic-y than my son, and the bottle really helps with it. Also, I love silicone!!! It is now my fave product. Never breaks, so easy to use, and easy to hold. It’s really made my life easier and I love how happy my daughter looks while eating. It really does have that natural feel that meant so much to me being the “traditional” parent. Can’t rave enough about this product, I’ve been telling all my friends, and after a week I decided to write a review because it is just so useful. All parents will be shocked at how easy the transition from breast to bottle is with this product.

This is an excellent bottle for every reason other reviews talk about but here is one thing I wish someone had written before I bought this bottle... pros: *non-toxic *ideal for transition from breast to bottle after 4 or 5 months (or whenever your babe is ready for a slightly faster flow, I would not recommend for new borns) *light and easy for baby to hold *easy to clean *interchangeable with the Comotomo bottles!! This bottle is exactly the same as the Comotomo except for the cool color tent and the nipple placement BUT PACE-FEEDERS BEWARE.... * The nipple placement is brilliant and I am surprised other brands have not caught on to this!..... but it is a CON that the slow flow is not a true slow flow, that is the most frustrating part! If Ola Baby made an actual slow flow I would buy the Comotomo bottles which are cheaper and pair them with the Ola Baby nipples which I plant o do when my babe is ready for a medium flow..for now I am forced to stick with the Comotomo nipples and bottles. Cons cont. *Again the slow flow of the Ola baby nipples has two holes which is the medium flow in the Comotomo series which has two holes. If you need a slower flow but you have the money to upgrade to the Ola baby bottle because you love the tint then pair the Comotomo slow flow nipple with this bottle. *pricey for the exact same bottle as the Comotomo (only the nipples are different) *if your babe is healing and relearning after tongue tie I would start them on the Dr, Brown bottles until they get the hang of it as the nipples on both this and the Comotomo are more shallow and you want to encourage a deep suction so don't be fooled by the boob-like shape after correcting tongue-tie. This company and the Comotomo company would make a crap load of money if they made a special line of nipple that were exactly the same at they are just a longer nipple to encourage deep throat suction. Overall if you are not pace-feeding and your babe does not have any complications with tounge-tie and you need a bottle to transition form breast feeding or use while breastfeeding this is an excellent bottle to try. The nipple is really the seller of this bottle but again pace-feeders beware!!

I was going home for lunch at work or had baby delivered to me during lunch breaks so I could feed her. But, I persisted and of course the winner of bottles was the last choice. Adiri is a stress reliever. When i received it, my hopes were shot and didnt really have any expectations. Ive tried lansinoh, nuks, ola, minbie, playtex (2) versions, avent (2) versions, dr brown bottles and sippy cup, tommee tippie, comotomo. I was ready to have my hubby and nanny use a syringe to feed my baby while i was at work. lol. If you find this review helpful, please click the helpful button as I spent a good time writing it and I hope it helps others who has a picky baby with bottles. It can be costly and frustrating. The main matter with all the bottle is finding the right nipple. I wish there was 1 bottle that fit all nipples. The problem with many of the bottle is the plastic silicone feeling of the nipple. My baby did not like it and always gave us the foreign disgusted look. So i am going to do a nipple review. What we found is that the medical grade silicone is the best of all. Adiri - the cost of the bottle is medium range but wont break the bank. You can find sales to get the lowest cost. The texture of the nipple is soft silicone medical grade & nipple is shaped like a real nipple. It has an identical shape like comotomo, ola, and tommee. But the shape of adiri base is rounded & my baby latched onto it like a real breast. You have to heat it with the bottle cap on and the cap for airvent or air and water will get inside. Comotomo Vs Ola - these 2 are almost the same. My baby liked the soft feeling of the 2 bottles. Baby didnt like the plastic silicone nipple for comotomo. But she didnt turn away the ola nipple. Ola nipple is identical to adiri nipple but has a wide base. The difference is adiris nipple material is the same as half of base of ola... and is also the same for lansinoh nipple. Adiris nipple material is fully covered w/ soft silicone. Ola's packaging was not good. It came open and broken Lansinoh - a unique nipple compared to all the bottles. Baby was not latching to this bottle but didnt turn it away. The base of the nipple is made of soft silicone like adiri. But the tip was the plastic silicone feeling material. Thats when we realized that she does not like that material and i need to find the soft silicone. Nuks - shape is also unique almost like mams. I thought my baby would def like 1 of these. But no winner. The soft silicone is at the bottom of the nipple tip of nuks. And i got 3-6 mths flow for nuks but it was fast flow. Everytime baby tried to suck, milk would pour out too fast for her. At the end, she did not want it anymore. She also did not like that plastic feeling on top of the nipple. Mams - before i wanted to buy mams, i bought their pacifier to see if she would take it since its similar to nuks. And she did not like the material either Tommee Tippie - out of all the bottles, this was the only one I had problems for leakage. She did not latch onto this bottle and gave us the questioned disgusted look like with all the other failed bottles. Dr Brown - i really like dr brown. I didnt mind washing and cleaning the compartments. It didnt leak. My baby played with the nipple for dr brown. The nipple is identical to playtex. I would get confused with which cover goes to which bottle. She would not latch on the nipple. So we tried dr brown sippy cup. My baby would bite the sippy cup and she would be able to get some milk out of it. A light snack to hold her over while she waits for me. So the sippy cup is definitely a keeper. Playtex ventaire - old and new version. Same nipple as dr brown. The handling of bottle is nice. But the nipple base was small for my baby and so it doesnt feel like the real deal. Minbie - the most expensive out of all.. $25. I couldnt order this through amazon. The manufacturer is based in australia. I ordered it due to the unique shape of nipple and it looks like the shape of a real nipple. High hopes for this one. But, the foreign and disgusted face is what baby gave us. So it confirms that we needed to order a diff material than all the other bottles. It is not the shape of the nipple, it is the feeling of the nipple. You cannot clean the nipple with the brush due to its delicate material. The nipple is soft, but also plastic feeling. Avent - i tried the colic free and regular. My baby started with these bottles when she was a newborn. We used it for a month. I liked it a lot. No problems with leaking. When we stopped using bottle for 3 weeks, she refused it. She did not like the plastic silicone material anymore

Let me say I am a mom of 4, and have breastfed all of my babies till around 6-7 months. I dreaded weaning them because I had such a hard time finding a bottle that was actually “breast” like. Baby number 4 is now 7 months, and I have already tried at least 6 different types of bottles, in which all have failed. My daughter is very picky and hated all of them. I happened to stumble across these one night and boy did they change mine and her life!! It has everything I had been looking for!! The wide tops (which mimic breast shape), stretchy soft nipple, the overall texture, and the fact that you can squeeze the bottle to mimic let down....it is everything I had been searching for the past 20 years (yes my oldest is 20)!! If your a breastfeeding mama like myself, and you have a super picky baby when trying to bottle feed, seriously give these a try. I have never been so happy with a bottle, and neither has my daughter!!!

Got this bottle for our 3wo when he was struggling with nursing. I figured a more boob-like bottle could help get him used to the feel, and this was faster and cheaper than getting something like an emulait. Worked great, I think it's his favorite bottle and seems to help with gassiness as well. I love how soft and flexible it is, and it's easy to clean. My only complaint is that the lid sometimes threads wrong and doesn't screw all the way in and can lead to leakage, so it's good to doublecheck it.
