1 Baby Brezza Two Piece Natural Glass Baby Bottle
Deterring colic isn't the only thing the Baby Brezza Two Piece Natural Glass Baby Bottle ($24 for two) has going for it. With only two parts, it's by far easier to clean than some of the other more complicated options. The wide, breast-shaped nipple lets babies feed comfortably, and the design means babies swallow milk, not air.
2 Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature Bottles
Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature bottles ($12 for three, originally $20) fit right into a parent's hand and are designed to help a tot transition between breast and bottle-feeding. The BPA- and phthalate-free bottles also have soft, flexible nipples that stretch like human ones while the built-in valve helps reduce air intake.
3 Comotomo Baby Bottle Set
The Comotomo Baby Bottle Bundle ($54) offers bottles designed to mimic the breastfeeding process with their wide-neck design and smooth, skin-like feel. For colic, it comes with slow flow nipples to help reduce air intake. And if and when baby is ready, you can swap to the medium flow, and fast flow nipples. The bottle's flexible design makes it unique in a sea of hard plastic/glass bottles.
4 Hegen Anti-Colic Baby Bottles
These Hegen Anti-Colic Baby Bottles ($38 for two) feature an off-center nipple to mimic a breast, anti-colic vents to reduce backflow and gas, and come in a unique square design that make them easier to stack in storage and for babies to hold. The bottles also come in bundles — like this one, which includes different bottle sizes and a manual breast pump attachment — and can be used long after baby is done drinking from a bottle as snack containers thanks to the brand's container lids.
5 Nanobebe Breastmilk Baby Bottles
Nanobebe Breastmilk Baby Bottles ($15 for three) have a geometric design created to improve the process of bottle-feeding breast milk, and 360-degree double-vented system helps fight against baby gas. Each bottle is designed to help preserve milk's nutritional value and give baby a better feeding experience.
6 Playtex Baby Ventaire Anti Colic Baby Bottle
The unique shape of the Playtex Baby Ventaire Anti Colic Baby Bottle ($23 for five) promotes upright feeding, which can help a ton in reducing air intake. The bottom vent helps reduce air ingestion as well.
7 Dr. Brown's Original Bottle Newborn Feeding Set
Dr. Brown's Original Bottle Newborn Feeding Set ($22) is practically synonymous with fighting colic, and it's a great starter set. Their intricate positive-pressure-flow vacuum mimics breastfeeding to reduce problems like colic and gas. Available in a variety of sizes, the bottles grow with your little one.
8 Mam Newborn Bottle Feeding Set
This Mam Newborn Bottle Feeding Set ($24) features a sweet design and grows with your baby. The set comes with larger bottles, so when your colic-free baby starts needing more milk, you'll be ready. Pacifiers, for when the baby needs some comfort, are also included.
9 Philips Avent Anti-Colic Baby Bottle
A longtime favorite of the breastfeeding community, the Philips Avent Anti-Colic Baby Bottle ($25 for four) was recently redesigned to mimic nursing better than ever. A wide-neck design gives the bottle a breast-like shape, while the soft nipple feels relatively similar to the real thing. The best part is Philips Avent's anti-colic system — it's a twin valve that prevents air from leaking into the feeding baby.
