NUKFirst Essentials Clear View Baby Bottle, 5 oz, 3 Pack

I’m a 44-year-old mother and grandmother. I have children aged from 25 to 7-year-old twins and trust me I have used every feeding bottle on the market since 1994 I’ve even ordered from other countries to find the perfect feeding bottle. Some of my babies were really great eaters and some of them were preemies and not good eaters at all and these bottles have not failed me yet. These bottles are vented so as the baby sucks you will see bubbles come into the bottle and that means that the bottle is vented. I don’t want to wash all of the parts that go along with the Dr. Browns vented bottles. Don’t get me wrong I highly recommend Dr. Brown’s and I have used them since they came out but after that initial newborn stage, About 4-6 months old, you can start using these, or use them from the beginning. The slowest flow nipple that comes on the bottle is truly just the right flow rate and the next sized nipple, the medium flow, works perfectly when you add a few spoons of rice cereal for babies that have reflux.These also fit on any breast pump I’ve ever used. I’m a Registered Nurse and Lactation Consulting has been a passion for me as I breast fed a total of NINE YEARS! I’ve never seen a breastfed baby reject these bottles. Even when totally breastfeeding sometimes the child HAS to be given a bottle and this is the cheapest and easiest option that really works!! You don’t have to spend 10.00 on one bottle. I bought these for 3.99. Thanks Gerber!

For all of the fancy and more expensive bottles I've tried over the course of three babies (and I've tried A LOT), I inevitably come back to these. They are easy to use, easy to clean with only the three parts, haven't given any gas troubles, and are super affordable. None of my kiddos have done well with wide neck bottles, and the nipple on these is the perfect size for them to latch on perfectly.

We tried a whole bunch of the fancier bottles and honestly we just liked these the best.One thing that I will note is that the 'slow flow' nipples aren't very slow. However we still liked them more than the other nipples we tried.The Dr. Browns nipples fit really well on these bottles if you need something slower. The Dr.Browns nipples are a little longer though than these so they cause the gerber cap to not fit perfectly. You can still close them but instead of pushing on the top it like collapses the nipple a little. We actually decided we liked the faster ones that came with the bottles better though.The rings at the top of these also fit perfectly into the enfamil premium premade formula bottles. So if you use those these are very convenient for that.These bottles also fit into medela pumps. I specifically used them with the harmony and the pump in style and they worked great for that.One nice thing is these bottles don't have a lot of peices to clean. The bottles are light and easy to hold as well. The are kind of square shaped at the bottom which is interesting.We have been hand washing them and then using a steam sterilizer. So far this hasn't been a problem but it hasn't been for long either. When we boiled them sometimes the tops got stuck in each other which was really annoying.I wish these came in a purple color but that isn't super important.

I loved these bottles with my first child, they are practical, inexpensive and easy. It’s sad that stores don’t carry them anymore. They should make a come back and if they were available in glass it would be a lot better!

My baby is 8 months old and after trying at least 10 types of bottle, we have found the pot of gold. They don't leak, they're easy to use, easy for her to hold, and the slow flow nipple is the equivalent of a Dr. Browns 2&3 nipple combined. Absolutely perfect. I would say that it would not be suitable for a newborn as it would be too fast. Thank goodness for these cheap little bottles!!
