 Great BottleOct 06, 2009
By LaDona Chao
"October321"
I bought this bottle when I was pregnant with my now 7 month old son. I purchased them because they were BPA free and they were suppose to be good for a baby who is both breast fed and bottle fed. I know every baby is different, but we had no problems transitioning from bottle to breast. He took both just fine.
Two more things that we like: 1) The Gerber Nuk bottle has never leaked on us. 2) We also like the round disc that is included with the bottle. I can't find their reason for including it..but we use it to shake the formula up. It works well to mix the formula and it keeps the formula out of the nipple. Before we used it, formula would sometimes clump up in the nipple, thus not fully mixing. I use the bottles with liners when we are out an about (so we don't have to have more than one bottle in the diaper bag). Every time I use it I wish it had that disc thing!
Now that I am not producing enough milk, we have gone exclusively to the bottle and I needed to buy some more. I thought about trying new bottles, but ultimately decided that there was no reason to mess with a good thing.I hope this has helped!

ONLY bottle my baby takesOct 19, 2010
By The Politician's Wife
Avent, Mam, Dr. Brown's, Gerber, and slim Nuk nipples that fit on Gerber bottles; none of these were to my breastfed baby's liking. 8 months old and finally able to drink from a bottle. Wonderful!

 Too many design flaws!Dec 13, 2011
By Danielle
I thought I would love these because the NUK pacifiers are a favorite in our house. Unfortunately, I have more complaints than compliments about these bottles.
FIrst, the "air-wave" vent that is advertised to have the same functionality as the Avent vent system is practically useless. The nipples have a second hole at the base of the nipple where it meets the ring, and the idea behind this is to allow air into the bottle to prevent vacuum build-up. Unfortunately, my baby will suck away at this bottle until the nipple collapses into the inside of the bottle. The little air hole doesn't work unless I pinch it with my fingers while she's eating. The whole purpose of the "air-wave" is to reduce the amount of air that a baby swallows while eating. But when I have to repeatedly take the bottle out of baby's mouth to release the vacuum pressure buildup (because the air hole doesn't work properly), she ends up only taking in more air because she has to re-latch on to the bottle every couple minutes.
Second, as other reviewers have mentioned, there is an "up" side and a "down" side to the nipple -- it needs to be inserted the right way up into baby's mouth or no milk comes out. While it's pretty self-evident to an experienced mother when I'm feeding baby during the day in the light, this is frustrating for middle-of-the-night feedings when I leave the lights out. The "right way up" is also not obvious to babysitters, aunts/uncles, and grandma/grandpa, who invariably end up sticking the bottle in any-which-way. This inconvenience would be tolerable if the bottle functioned well in other respects. Since it doesn't have anything to offer besides a different nipple shape though, I don't think it's worth it.
Third, the cap doesn't fit over the nipple in a way that prevents spills. There is easily a half an inch between the bottle cap and top of the nipple, which means that any time the bottle is less than vertical (in a diaper bag, for example), milk spills into the cap. This wouldn't be so bad if it stopped there. For whatever reason, NUK included SLITS in the cap on either side, so any milk that spills into the cap spills right out. You may as well use no cap. This baffles me -- who designs an entirely useless bottle cap? I suppose it's only purpose is to (somewhat) keep the nipple clean.
Fourth, the last 1/4 ounce of milk gets "trapped" on the top ledge of the bottle. The acute corners of the bottle also make it more difficult to properly clean the crevices at the bottom and top of the bottle.
I think NUK has several improvements to make... We stick with Dr. Brown's and Avent bottles.
Nice design, easy to wash, OK performance.Feb 21, 2012
By Elena
It is a good bottle with pretty designs. My baby liles the nipple and i like the fact that it has never leaked. Bad side is that the lid doesn't close tight so you cant carry it full in the diaper bag and you are always left with a little milk in the bottle when feeding.
Breastfed baby seems to likeJul 07, 2011
By Brown Bear
Our six month old exclusively breastfed baby just tried this bottle yesterday and seems to like it. She takes to it better than her Adiri bottle. It was a good price and shipped fast. Most bottles I've tried she just wants to gnaw on but this one she latched on several times to such. Quite possibly the only reason she kept letting go was because it contained juice and not breastmilk...will try that next now that I have seen her latch on to it. Note: my daughter seems to like shorter flatter nipples rather than long circular ones, even with pacifiers. (That's the reason I wanted to try this nuk nipple.) Your baby may differ in that respect.
