With so many extras, it's not hard to see why Philips Avent Natural Newborn Baby Bottle Starter Set comes out on top. We like that this comes as a complete set with a pacifier, formula dispenser and bottle brush in addition to six bottles. The bottles are BPA-free and feature breast-shaped nipples and comfort petals that are similar to breast feeding. This can help breast-feeding moms transition to bottle feeds and back, and the design aims to curb colic and gas.

What reviewers didn't like

Comes at the higher end of the price spectrum.
Assembly instructions aren’t so clear
Challenging to hold (short and wide)
But the very wide nipple may not work well for all babies.
However, it seems that these bottles cause gases as a noticeable amount of users complained about that, so be mindful of that.
The slow flow nipples may be too fast for some newborns
With wide mouth, it often increases milk flow.
The option is a bit expensive compared to other best bottles for breastfed babies but that’s obvious because the package has 3 4oz bottles, 2 9oz bottles, Bottle brush, formula dispenser and 1 Soothie pacifier.
