What is the best bottle for breastfed babies?

For breastfed babies, the best bottle is usually one that encourages a slower, more breast-like feed rather than a fast, free-flowing nipple. Look for a nipple that requires active sucking and a paced-feeding design.

A strong top pick is the Lansinoh mOmma with NaturalWave Nipple, which is designed to support the kind of tongue and jaw motion babies use at the breast. Good alternatives are the Philips Avent Natural Response, which releases milk only when the baby actively drinks, and Dr. Brown's Options+, which uses a vent system to help reduce air intake.

If you want another commonly recommended option, Comotomo is also popular because of its soft silicone feel and breast-like shape.

Every baby is different, so the best bottle for one breastfed baby may be rejected by another. If possible, try one or two single bottles before buying a multi-pack.
