Before we had kids, we thought a baby bottle was a baby bottle and that was that. Then when we gave birth, we swore we’d be one of those moms who only breastfed, so the type of bottle we bought didn’t really matter—it would just be for emergencies. Now, we know it’s not that simple.
The CDC reports that while eight in ten new mothers begin breastfeeding from birth, only about six in ten are still doing so at 6 months and that number trails off the older the child gets. Which means there’s a whole bunch of moms out there that rely on bottles for every single feeding—which you know is a lot. But what bottle are they buying?
According to the parents of PureWow (not to mention, over 3,000 reviewers who gave it five stars on Amazon), it's comotomo’s 8-Ounce Baby Bottles. For starters, they’re actually made to mimic the shape and feel of a real breast. The naturally domed soft, silicone nipple and skin-like squishy bottle help transition babies from nursing to bottle-feeding, because it feels most like the real thing. It also proves to be extremely comforting to babies who never took to breastfeeding or who skew opposite with bottle rejection—they still get the feeling of a breast without the stress of forcing it.
Then there’s the fact that it’s extremely easy to clean, because how annoying is it to try to stuff a sponge into a narrow neck bottle? The opening on comotomo’s is super wide, making it a breeze to suds up by hand. They’re also resistant to heat, so you can toss it in the top rack of the dishwasher (as well as the microwave, sterilizers and boiling water if that’s more your speed).
