The BubsNest Verdict

These bottles have a solid anti-colic system and are genuinely easy to clean, but the leaking issues reported by multiple parents are a real concern that could leave you frustrated during night feeds. Perfect for parents willing to experiment with different bottle brands, but skip if you want a foolproof, leak-free guarantee from day one.

⚠️Multiple parents report persistent leaking issues, so keep your receipt and test them thoroughly within the return window before committing to a full bottle collection.

BubsNest expert analysis of 4 parenting forum discussions

“Praised for anti-colic design and easy transition from breastfeeding”

7.6

Solid Choice

The MAM Easy Start Anti-Colic Bottles are a well-regarded option among UK parents, praised for their anti-colic features and ease of use when transitioning from breastfeeding. Many appreciate the self-sterilising function and compatibility with different bottle sizes. However, some caution around potential leaks and difficulty reading the measurement markings. Overall, these bottles seem to work well for most newborns and infants, though a few design quirks may frustrate some parents.

What parents love

Anti-colic designThe innovative vented base helps reduce colic and regurgitation in 80% of cases, according to market research.
Smooth transition from breastfeedingThe soft, silky teat is said to make it easy for babies to switch between breast and bottle.
Self-sterilising functionThe bottles can be self-sterilised in the microwave, which parents find convenient for on-the-go use.

Worth knowing

Leaking issuesSome parents report the bottles can leak, often due to the silicone valve not being properly seated or the parts not being fully tightened.
Visibility of milk levelThe measurement markings, especially on the lid, can be difficult to read, making it challenging to see how much milk is left.
Minimum fill lineThe measurement scale starts at 60ml, so parents may experience some waste when preparing smaller feeds.

Best for

  • Parents looking for bottles that can ease the transition from breastfeeding
  • Families who value the convenience of self-sterilising bottles for travel or visiting friends/family

May not suit

  • Parents who need to precisely measure small milk quantities
  • Households with limited storage space, as the bottles may take up more room than some alternatives

Tips from parents

Getting the Most Out of It

Firmly press the silicone valve into the base and ensure all parts are tightly screwed together to prevent leaks.

Shopping Tip

Consider starting with the 160ml size rather than the smaller 130ml bottles, as parents often find the larger size more practical.

Safety Note

Always loosen the lid when reheating milk in a bowl of hot water to relieve pressure and prevent spills.
