We had a tough ride with Roman in the first 10 weeks. He was colicky, had bad reflux and didn’t feed well in the beginning.
We tried everything and I mean everything, I was backwards and forwards to the doctors constantly checking him for different allergies and trying different prescription milks, when a doctor eventually told me to admit defeat and trust that he unfortunately had colic and reflux and I just had to wait for him to grow out of it! When he was roughly 8 ish weeks old, one of my clients told me about the dr Browns Bottles and the MAM colic bottles. I went on the hunt and bought one of each bottle to decide which Roman liked and once he was used to one I’d then replace all the bottles with that brand. In my opinion the Dr Browns bottles were a complete waste of money and such a faf to clean etc so we replaced his Avent bottles with the MAM ones.
I just want to say first and foremost these are brilliant. I’d never even taken notice of this brand before but everybody should be suggesting these bottles to mums and dads who are suffering with colicky babies. The ventilation system is in the bottom of the bottle so you just unscrew the top and bottom, clean the whole lot and chuck in the steriliser- bonus that there’s no fiddly tubes like the other brand!
Product description- Every day baby life is easy with the MAM Self Sterilising Anti-Colic bottle. The bottle reduces colic and sterilises itself. Enjoy 80%* less colic thanks to the smart base ventilation. Easy switching between mum and MAM thanks to the distinct teat and practical self-sterilisation thanks to technical design.This smart bottle ensures that from now on parents are mobile, the MAM Self Sterilising Anti-Colic bottle sterilises itself. Simply heat in the microwave with water and itโs done. Whether on holiday or visiting friends, the smart Anti-Colic bottle is ready for use. Babies enjoy feeding from the Anti-Colic because the bottle ensures that the feed flows smoothly. This means that babies donโt swallow any air and colic is reduced.
Once we’d settled on the cow and gate anti reflux milk paired with these bottles, feeding Roman became so much easier and he settled after feeds a lot quicker. They were by far the best bottles for us and I wouldn’t hesitate recommending them to anyone!

I’ve just bought Roman a couple of *first juice bottles* and I stuck with MAM so the teat is still the same and he loves having a slurp of water with his food!
