9 of the best baby bottles for breastfed babies 2024

Whether you're feeding with a bottle once a day between breastfeeds or want to transition to more regular bottle feeding, this starter set gives you everything you need to set off on a bottle-feeding journey.

In this set, you'll find three 260ml bottles, three 150ml bottles, a bottle and teat brush for easy cleaning, and a dummy. The silicone slow-flow nipple teat feels like a real nipple, helping your baby make that change seamlessly.

Review: "Good value set that’s perfect for those occasionally bottle feeding. I’m only using the smaller bottles so far (baby is breastfeeding and I pump every once in a while). Even though my baby doesn’t use a dummy full-stop, she’ll take this one in the car seat when other soothing solutions are not possible."

These self-sterilising bottles from MAM are a game-changer, making life easier on the move as your bottle is ready for every situation. Simply heat in the microwave for three minutes, and it’s ready. Great little anti-colic bottles from a brand you can trust.

**Tested by mum Kerry Bailey for the Mother&Baby Awards 2018; she said: "**I would recommend these bottles to everyone I know as they are brilliant and the self-sterilising element makes life so much easier. It’s so handy – when we went away for a couple of nights I didn't have to take the bulky steriliser with me, I just popped the bottle in the microwave."

These bottles are perfect for breastfeeding mums, with a soft, nipple-like teat that gives your baby an excellent soft flow. You’ll notice the unique design of this bottle, with the bottle nipple being on the side rather than in the middle of the bottle – according to Chicco this improves comfort and ease of feeding and replicates the instinctive way baby feeds. We were really impressed by these bottles and would recommend them. They won Silver in the 2018 Mother&Baby Awards in the Best Bottle Feeding Product category.

**Tested by mum Nicky Knight for the Mother&Baby Awards 2018; she said: "**I found that this bottle was incredibly easy to hold and so ergonomic. I felt that Chicco had thought about how this should be shaped to help with feeding, not only for ease of baby feeding but also for us to hold it comfortably. The shape is by far the best I have used – he took to this teat very well as it is so soft and akin to the nipple."

It has everything you could need for those first few days transitioning your baby to the bottle, including four bottles, a soother, a bottle brush, a chewable teether and a bib. It’s great value for money, and the little extras are fantastic. When it comes to the bottles, the Easy Latch teats mimic the shape, texture and natural flex of your breasts, encouraging your baby to latch more easily.

This newborn starter set won Gold in the 2015 Mother&Baby Award's for best product for bottle feeding.

**Tested by mum Catrin Ottley for the Mother&Baby Awards 2018; she said: "**I would recommend this set to a fellow mum as the design is really nice and I think it looks appealing for the child. The bottle is very nice, it feels comfortable in my hand when I feed my baby as it has a nice grip and is very easy to use. Also, it’s a compact size, so it doesn’t take up room in my changing bag."

Tested by mum Adele for the 2019 Mother&Baby Awards; she said: "I would recommend this product to other mums. The bottles are easy to clean as well as simple and easy to take apart/put together. My baby enjoyed using these bottles and could hold them herself from a very young age because of the shape. They are easy to hold and feel good in your hand while feeding your baby."

A great option if you’re already using a Medela breast pump, these clever baby bottles can be used with all different Medela pumps and teats on the market. Easy to use, we love the handy metric and imperial measurements on the side, which are clear to see (no matter how sleep deprived you might be!) They are also dishwasher and microwave-safe.

Review: "What a wonderful little set! Absolutely perfect for storing milk on the go. Bought for when I went back to work as the fridge at work is often too full for me to store my pumped milk in, and also I don’t trust it won’t get tampered with or contaminated so I bought this and it’s perfect.The bottles are spot on in terms of size, and fit into the bag perfectly, and holds a decent amount of milk. The ice pack fits around all the bottles and keeps them cold for hours. I take it out of the freezer in the morning when I leave for work, so around 7:20am and it’s still cold when I get back at 6:30pm."

This set of four baby bottles features built-in temperature control indicators, which show when the milk is too hot - this is extremely helpful when you're doing the blurry-eyed night feed. The anti-colic vent helps prevent baby swallowing too much air as they feed, controls the flow of milk and removes air bubbles while the extra wide lip support simulates breast feeding as closely as possible.

Review: "I remembered using this bottle with my first daughter during a stressful breastfeeding-failure episode and they were really great. We had various types in the end as she wasn't fussy (just hungry!) but I always reached for this one over the others. So when I was buying again for my second I jumped straight to these and ordered them just in case we ended up on the same path. Thankfully breastfeeding this time has gone alot better but we have introduced a bottle of expressed milk early on to avoid any weaning issues later. My daughter switches between the breast and the bottle with ease and no fuss."

The contoured breast-like teat of these glass bottles help your baby easily latch on, offering a more natural bottle-feeding experience. The unique internal green vent system creates 100 per cent vacuum free feeding and is clinically proven to help reduce wind related colic. It also promises to aid digestion for a good night’s sleep for both you and your little one.

Review: "I had a set of plastic Dr Brown bottles but the green insert was so fiddly it drove me mad. I bought the glass version as I had wanted to get rid of everything that was plastic but the added bonus was that the green insert was so easy to use on the glass bottles. I love Dr Brown anyway and they made a huge improvement with my daughter when she was a newborn."

Not only does the Comotomo Natural Baby Bottle look amazing, but it will resolve all existing problems with standard baby bottles. The shape and texture make it easy for little hands to hold, and it mimics breastfeeding, helping babies that experience ‘nipple confusion’ and ‘bottle rejection’. The bottle is leak-free and allows milk to flow steadily, helping to ease colic.

Tested by mum Sarah Smith for the Mother&Baby Awards 2018; she said: "I love this bottle - from the shape and feel, to the design. My baby got on so well with it as it was small enough for him to fit his tiny hands around. From my perspective, it was also easy to take apart and put back together. Milk flowed steadily and at my sons pace, which was great because he suffers with colic and normally feeding is difficult. He had no issues with winding after using this bottle."
