After our baby having a bad experience with the 'Tommy Tippee Closer to Nature' bottles, we switched to this. With so many amazing reviews we were expecting it to solve all our problems with wind and colic.
However the MAM bottles only made it worse and gave our newborn reflux. I admit she latched onto this teat the best and never dribbled. However she would not go back to breastfeeding (as we are combi-feeding) because the teat is so different to the breast.
With the MAM bottles they are such a fiddle to clean with all the bit and bobs, which made it so time consuming. Also did not like the fact the anti colic holes are at the bottom of the bottle, which is a concern with cleanliness. That also restricts you from placing the bottle in a cup of cold water to cool the bottle as water may pass through the holes. Another annoying thing is the volume markers are hard to see and only start from 60ml!
After using these bottles I can't understand how they are anti colic as all I saw were bubbles in the milk everytime our baby drank from them.
After this we tried the NUK bottles which were much better as our baby couldn't tell the difference between the bottle and boob. However it also didn't solve the issues at hand. In the end we tried the Dr Brown's bottle and it solved all our issues with colic, wind, reflux, combi-feeding. I wish we tried them sooner, they just look the worst in design and we were put off by this. However who cares what they look like if they stop your baby getting colic.
I hope our experience helps others. However remember every baby is different and what worked for us may not work for you.
