For some strange reason, bottles are often overlooked at parties. I’m not sure if it’s because most people assume that babies will be breastfed or something else, but as any bottle-feeding mom or dad knows, you can never have too many bottles. The Comotomo Natural Feel Bottle is a firm favourite among first-time buyers, and its 14,000 reviews and 4.7-star rating on Amazon are proof that it’s a favourite with parents. Designed to accurately mimic breastfeeding, the Comotomo has an extra-wide neck design. It’s also microwave, boiling water, dishwasher and steriliser safe. The nipple and bottle are made from 100% medical-grade silicone, making them safe and hygienic. This is also a great option for colicky babies because the dual anti-colic vents help keep unwanted air out.
