My first baby is coming this December and I'm planning on going breastfed to bottle so my husband and family can feed our baby if I'm at work or doing something else. I worked in a preschool for many years and a common theme I saw with babies that were also breastfed was that they all used this bottle! The tip you gave about using the slow flow nipple on the bigger bottle size is definitely one I'm socking away for later!

[@emily26mle]

Great video- thanks!

[@MrsNMMommy]

Thank you so much for this review! this is the brand I want to try with my baby due in august. I plan on breastfeeding but also will need the help with my 2.5 year old and am really nervous about nipple confusion. ♡♡♡

[@TheBabyCubby]

We're so glad it helped!

[@rachelghaman5825]

Great video! Is there a certain position that the vents on the top of the nipple need to be angled during feeding?

[@Notagirlfromsd]

Love these bottles 👏

[@sabrinaesteban3190]

I started using this bottle for my cleft lip and palate baby girl. I was trying to avoid cleaning so many parts.. well they seem to be working the reason why is because of the squeeze part!! I hope they continue to work I just started using them!! Thank you for this review!!

[@TheBabyCubby]

We are so glad to hear they have been working for you!

[@lauracruz1428]

i’m looking into these! my son has a cleft palate and i’m tired of dr brown specialty feeder. too many parts. very few bottles are cleft palet friendly :( it’s rare but it happens! i’m hoping the fast flow would be a good transition for him. how did your daughter like them?

[@jayakolte]

Is this comotomo slow flow bottle good for premmie baby??

[@liyanamasat2554]

Hi, I just want to ask if UV sterilizers are suitable to be used for comotomo bottles?

[@TheBabyCubby]

Hello! Comotomo recommends you sterilize your baby bottles with a traditional electric steam sterilizer!

[@kirzization]

will the teats fit in a standard wide neck bottle or Philips natural bottles?

[@paulinetorres2204]

No, avent natural won't fit

[@amirsgamingchannel1819]

Can I use tommee tippee microwave sterilizer or philips avent microwave steam sterilizer? Please reply

[@TheBabyCubby]

We recommend the Avent 3-in-1 Electric Steam Sterilizer.

[@sunithays3494]

How do we use these bottles in bottle warmer? Any recommendations which bottle warmer to use?

[@TheBabyCubby]

Here's a link to the bottle warmers compatible with this bottle: www.comotomo.com/portfolio/faq/

[@sierraegbert158]

When the baby is drinking out of the bottle will the bottle kinda go inwards where its made with silicone?

[@TheBabyCubby]

Great question! The silicone shouldn't collapse while the baby is drinking from it. Let us know if you have any other questions!

[@lidyia1]

Could you do a review on the boon rack? Wondering about whether it gets gross and unsanitary or not. It looks pretty complicated to clean.

[@TheBabyCubby]

lidyia1 We probably wont be doing a review on the boon drying racks, but just way of information. The water drips into the bottom tray. So it's two pieces, easy to clean. Hand wash in warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and air dry. www.babycubby.com/boon-grass-counter-top-drying-rack.html Let us know if you have any other questions.

[@constancecolburn6447]

I can help you with the boon rack. You’re putting wet bottles in the grass so water is going to drip down in the tray. So every few days you will just take out grass and clean the tray. If you don’t then yes that water will sit and get gross.

[@mnyc85]

Hello! When I get to the last few MLs I notice it is difficult to get the milk in the nipple. Any tricks for getting those last few drops out without extra air going into the nipple??

[@treetopchic]

I have this same issue, did you figure it out?

[@frances1310]

What’s the best way to warm up breastmilk using this bottle? Could I still put this bottle in a bottle warmer or is easier to stick into boiled water?

[@TheBabyCubby]

You can use either a bottle warmer or boiled water. Some bottle warmers it may not fit in so it may just depend what works out easier for you!

[@Nhu11Tam]

Are there any pros/cons on warning it in a warmer v. running water? Does the silicone give off any smell or plastic wearing/tearing over time if we use a bottles warmer? Do you honestly suggest it better to warmed up with running water or bottles warmer? I’ve heard that one of the downsides of warming it in a bottle warmer is that besides finding a warmer that fits, the silicone makes the milk take much longer to warm up?

[@kellee-morganabercrombie3623]

We’ve enjoyed these bottles with our newborn but we do have one question. Should the vents be in a certain position? My husband notices that if they are submerged in milk, they will create air bubbles. Thanks!

[@TheBabyCubby]

We never noticed that vents needing to be specifically in one place since the vent works to remove air bubbles, could it be what your husband saw is air bubbles working their way out?

[@divinacaramelo4158]

Can I use my Tomee Tipee Sterilizer with these bottles?

[@TheBabyCubby]

We have not tried to use Comotomo bottles in a Tommee Tippee Sterilizer personally but we think they should fit and they can be steam sterilized. We cannot guarantee this use.

[@coconutness]

I really want to try these bottles for my twins but I’m reading the upside to these is that they tip over easily. Do you have any tricks or hacks for that?

[@TheBabyCubby]

Though they may tip they won’t necessarily spill until you have a larger nipple size on them! Slow flow nipples will hardly let out any liquid without the actual pulling milk action!

[@dennisbazan]

Can i use my avent sterilizer using comotomo bottles?

[@TheBabyCubby]

Joy If you have the Avent 3-in-1 Electric Steam Sterilizer, then yes!

[@kathyvalentin9777]

I formula feed my baby and the milk gets stuck at the bottom of the bottles. It is so hard to get out. Am I cleaning them wrong?

[@Kay.4892]

Are you putting the water in first?

Hi Irana! They are microwave, boiling water, bottle warmer safe! Let us know if you have other questions.

[@AMstf-ue9ce]

Hi. Can i use Coby UV Steriliser for drying and sterilise?

[@TheBabyCubby]

I would say yes but make sure to double check with the Coby UV Sterilizer Company to make sure. They would have a better understanding of what materials can be used in their device.

[@AMstf-ue9ce]

Okay thank you

[@gisellemagloire-pinard5350]

What sterilizer will the 8oz bottles fit in?

[@TheBabyCubby]

We would recommend micro steam bags or the Kiindee sterilizer.

[@rababattieh4443]

Which bottle warmer would you recommend? Thanks!

[@TheBabyCubby]

Hi Rabab, we actually havnt found a bottle warmer that we liked using more that just heating water to put the bottle in. Sorry we couldnt be more helpful. Good luck in your quest.

[@applesoriano3621]

@@TheBabyCubby hi! Just wanted to ask how to clean this bottle if I don’t have a sterilizer? Is it safe to immerse it in boiling water?

[@TheBabyCubby]

@@applesoriano3621 Hi there! It is safe to immerse it in boiling water but not for an excessive amount of time!

[@applesoriano3621]

@@TheBabyCubby okay. Copy that. Thank you so much!

[@raylapaw3614]

Are they going to squeeze out milk when we put them in diaper bag some how? Just wondering

[@TheBabyCubby]

Hi Ryala, this would depend on how much milk you put in it and how your pocket is shaped. The ring at the top is rigid so that helps the bottle keep its shape quite well but if there is something in the pocket, for instance, that might push up on the bottom it could push liquid out the top.

[@bryannavarro4394]

Sup guys I’m a be a dad and over here doing research, what’s Latch mean

[@user-qr7eb1sf3l]

Bryan Navarro how the baby attaches to the nipple when sucking

[@jngx80]

I'm using these and I've noticed that sometimes my baby will seem to drink but no milk comes out. I did a test to see if it was the nipple. I tilted the bottle and at first the milk would flow out but then after a short time it would stop coming out. The only way to get it flowing again (just by tilting the bottle) is to open the top and I guess let air go in again. Are the bottles supposed to flow naturally so that if I had a bottle tilted it would empty itself. Or are they designed to flow and then stop after a short time, requiring the baby to do some work? Maybe something is blocking the vents in mine?

[@TheBabyCubby]

These bottles are supposed to imitate nursing and so they are designed for the baby to suck. They do have vents on the side to help with the flow. If you think the vents are not working properly, please send us an email and we would be happy to help you out at [e-mail].

[@silviaelena]

oh wow how did you take the cap off so quickly?? what's your trick?? it takes my partner and i like a minute to take the top off haha

[@TheBabyCubby]

The lid should just unscrew and then the nipple part should pop out! Sometimes bending the nipple down can help relieve the pressure that builds up!

[@silviaelena]

Not the lid or nipple but the cap. At 4:54 in the video you snap off the cap with such ease but usually it takes a lot of effort to take them off. They don’t just snap off. Maybe it’s cause there’s no liquid it it - or there’s no condensation on the outside.

[@TheBabyCubby]

​@@silviaelena Typically we will apply pressure to one side with a thumb and it should come right off!

[@silviaelena]

Thanks :)

[@PRAGATI04]

How to warm the Milk?

[@TheBabyCubby]

Great question! With Comotomo bottles, you can warm the milk by using a bottle warmer, using a microwave since they're microwave safe, or using hot water!

[@prajaktapawar4881]

I have a 5 mo and have purchased 8 oz bottle ..she is a small eater at 5 months .,will take 1.5 oz every 1.5/2 hrs .. since I will use this bottle while away at work do I need to do paced feeding or just let her drink directly ? Pls suggest .

[@TheBabyCubby]

Hi! Because we are not feeding experts, we are weary to give more than just general advice on the subject and so would direct you to either your pediatrician or a lactation consultant. They will be able to give you the best direction for feeding your baby. If you are still breastfeeding, we would only recommend that you get the slow flow nipple replacement pack to go with the 8oz bottles so that your infant will still prefer breastfeeding to bottle feeding. The 8oz bottles only come with the medium flow nipples, so you have to purchase a replacement pack of the slow flows to use until you are finished nursing. We will link those here >> www.babycubby.com/comotomo-silicone-replacement-nipple-slow-flow-2-count.html/

[@MabbiiBabbii]

Prajakta Pawar y

[@Nhu11Tam]

When you said you need to replace the bottles every 6 to 12 months, is that saying we just need to buy a whole new bottle after 6 to 12 months?…

[@TheBabyCubby]

Great question! Yes, Comotomo recommends replacing the whole bottle every 6 to 12 months! Let us know if you have any other questions!

[@marniefavis]

Have you tried sterilizing them with a UV sterilizer?

[@TheBabyCubby]

We have not tried that one yet. The one we recommend is the Avent 3-in-1 Electric Steam Sterilizer.

[@jora3174]

I always sterilize my Comotomo every after use with UV and Anion..

[@paisleyhunter1206]

I have this bottle n it has a sour milk smell in it. Tried using baby bottle soap - boiling it - freezing it. The smell wont go away.. How would i get the smell out of it?

[@TheBabyCubby]

I'm so sorry you are having trouble getting a sour milk smell out. Some things you may want to try are washing with vinegar and or baking soda. Also Dapple sells a product that is specifically for getting the milk smell out of bottles, it is called Pure n' Clean Bottles and Dishes. Best of luck I hope one of those works.

[@ahkeen]

Not a fan of these bottles. Maybe it’s user error but it seems like I have to tilt it super high causing the baby go into a flat position in order to get every last drop.

[@TheBabyCubby]

Oh no, sorry this bottle isn’t a good fit but we hope you found something that works for you and your family!

[@kxb9992]

Any tricks on how to open the snap cap?

[@livyourjourney]

Any solution? That’s what I came here for. Those caps are terrible. And with the squishy bottle milk starts coming out the sides if you squeeze it while trying to get the cap off. It’s ridiculous.

[@akirapersephone649]

Yes, can someone answer this please!

[@as71318]

Hold the solid part of the bottle (near the pink/green ring) and press on the indents on the lid with your thumb until it pops. Takes 2 hands.

[@jlinb7783]

Hi i started trying to bottle feed my baby late at 2 months old. I tried him for the first time on medium flow because i bought the 8 oz bottle unfortunately i didn't buy the slow flow nipple. He does not latch right away which i was hoping for. What he does is he keeps moving the nipple around his mouth and biting it. He at one point sucked it after trying hard yet patient and then he started to scream then i had to give him breast again. Tips please because i want to breast feed and bottle feed simultaneously is that an issue? Hiw do i get him to latch on these bottles right away and can i switch back and forthh feeding breast and bottle with these comotomo bottles. Help please going back to work soon.

[@fejivarghese2678]

Did you get any reply from anyone as this is my situation now l need to get back to work with in a week and my little girl doesn't want to take the bottle

[@Notagirlfromsd]

Keep trying and buy the slow flow nipple

[@rumanavhora4145]

If I am bfeeding, do you suggest keeping slow flow nipple on the entire time of breastfeeding or should I be changing the nipple to medium flow and fast flow based on age even if I'm breastfeeding?

[@TheBabyCubby]

We recommend using the nipple that mimics your flow the best. If you have a faster flow then the fast flow nipple would work fine. If your flow is slow then the fast nipple my lead to frustration for your baby while breastfeeding.

[@gabrielamtz4298]

One thing I don’t understand about these bottles is that sometimes the milk won’t flow. The first time it happened I had to use a needle to make a bigger hole in the nipple because I thought it was not big enough, but then it happened again and now I understand it doesn’t have to do with it but I can’t figure out what is it.

[@TheBabyCubby]

The small bottles will come with a slow flow nipple which will have a VERY slow flow meaning if you turn it upside down it might not flow since it uses suction from baby. You can also try and give it a little squeeze which will mimic the letdown feature to make sure it is flowing, if it is still not showing any signs of flow, you can upgrade the nipple size to a faster flow or contact the company for a warranty claim!
