NUK - Gerber First Essentials Clearview Bottle in Assorted Colors with Latex Nipple, 9-Ounce

Like most couples we spent a lot of time and money trying different types of feeding bottles. The First Years Soothie worked well initially for our baby daughter but after a while the flow was too weak and latching also became difficult for her. The next size up nipple was too strong and made her choke. We then spent a small fortune trying Dr Browns, Avent, Playtex Ventaire, and a couple of others. Some bottles she outright refused, others caused tummy pain/gas. We were a little skeptical at first about these Gerber bottles since they're so much cheaper than the rest. But in this instance the price is by no means a reflection of the quality of this product. It took a couple of attempts but our baby soon became comfortable with these bottles. My wife and I were delighted with the results (only wish we had discovered these sooner). Obviously it may not work everyone but here are the key benefits for us: 1. steady milk flow (not too fast and not too slow) - started when was 3 months old, now she is 4 and a half months. 2. no colic or gas issues 3. BPA free 4. bottles have never leaked! 5. very easy to clean, nothing fiddly (important to us since we're low on sleep) 6. latex nipples (our baby seems to prefer these to silicone) 7. air inside bottle is replaced when milk is sucked out so there is no excess pressure when milk is low In our experience there is nothing bad about these bottles. Sometimes there is a faint hissing sound when air is replacing milk, but that hasn't bothered our daughter. Every baby is different I know and some wont like this I'm sure, but for the price you cant go wrong. Its definitely worth a try. Cheers, John

I bought these for my little one based on the book Moms on Call and couldn't be happier. They have been my child's favorite bottle and he latched quickly to them without issues. They also have been great for no additional air or reflux - it is just a bonus that they are fairly priced compared to other brands.

Love this bottle I bought it to try for my second child

I wanted to write a review for all those new mommies like me about bottles and my experiences with each of the ones I tried. First, my hubby thinks I am a hoarder of bottles. If there were a competition to put together baby bottles and all their different parts I think I would win. I have tried Gerber, Platex, Avent and Dr. Browns. Gerber: These were the cheapest of all that I tried. You can find them on Amazon (9 bottles just costing under $10). The ring and nipples go great with the ready to use formula that they give babies at the hospital. They function well but I did notice that these bottles cause air bubbles in the formula when my daughter uses them. Perfect nipple speed though and I liked the bottles because there is little amounts of formula dribbling out the side of my daughter's mouth and not a whole lot like other bottles. This means she was not soaked at the end of her feeding and less chances of a rash to occur on her chin/neck. I really like how the 9 oz. bottles come with medium nipples, so if you use this you don't have to rebuy new nipples. Some 8-9oz bottles come with slow nipples. I like how they give you extra room to mix formula. I will try this bottle again in the near future after my little one has less of a gas issue (6 month +). Dr. Brown's travel caps also works great with these bottles and cheap to buy. Platex: I tried Vent Air and regular drop-ins. With the Vent air there is significantly less bubbles in the formula. However, the nipples are super slow though for slow flow. It would take my daughter twice as long to finish a bottle. I hear though that if you are breastfeeding this slow flow is better so that the babies don't prefer the faster flow of a bottle vs. breast. Cons: the 6 oz bottles are perfect for 4 oz. feeding. The bottles are curved and hard to mix formula because it spills out. Also there is no need for a liner that saves on cost. Platex also has regular drop-in liners that are great- no bubbles in formula but I think that is rather expensive for liners ($7/ 100 liners). Even with a generic brand liner you shell out $5 per 100 liners and that's about $10-15 a month. I also hate that 8 oz. bottles come with a slow nipple. Not sure if they just want you to spend extra on nipples. They sell 2 nipples for $4 pack- so if you have 8 bottles that is about $16. So this bottle adds up. It's less washing though so that's convenient. I also think it's hard to measure the water with liners. I usually have to take another bottle and measure out the water in that and pour it into the liner. Avent: I got samples of the wide neck 4 oz. I hate and love these bottles. Hindsight, I think my daughter got a lot of gas while using them. We started her on these bottles (birth-3 months). I did read that another mom used Avent after the baby finished their gassy period (4+months) so I will be going back to try these bottles again when she is older. I bought the 8 oz. wide glass bottles and they are beautiful. Cons are, however, that so much formula dribbles out the side of my daughter's mouth and they are really heavy. The nipples are faster than most bottles and you have to figure out when to change them. You simply can't go by the months listed on the box. May be this wouldn't be an issue for babies who are bigger and faster eaters. My friends who have boys tend to do really well with these bottles. Huge advantage of the 4 oz. wide neck bottles are that you can get sealing discs for cheap and they convert into the cutest baby food/ snack container. At least you can feel good about getting all your monies worth from these bottles since you can use them for a different purpose. Reviews I read also said that GERBER gentle flow is the same as Avent standard bottles. If you knew this you can buy the Gerber gentle flow nipples that are way cheaper and fit the Avent standard bottles well. I tried to look for the gentle flow bottles but they are nowhere to be found on my end.

El producto esta muy bueno y fiel al imagen

Muy mala calidad a los 15 días de uso se despintaron los chupones y se hicieron negros

While the bottles themselves are fine, the package came with all pink rings and flesh colored nipples that don’t fit well. I am aware that it’s assorted colors but this was ALL pink and of course I have a boy. And the nipples are weird and I don’t like them at all. By comparison I also ordered the 3pack of the 5oz bottles and those cake with assorted colors and clear nipples like in the picture. Would not purchase this listing again

This bottle is just like the nuk bottles I've always known and loved. Keeping the design and latex teat is wonderful as it is hard to find latex nipples without costing an arm and a leg. This bottle is no frills, but these were my children's favorite. Latex allows for the hole to shrink a little so they aren't flooding their mouths even on slow.

Good

Los mejores biberones. Yo gaste mucho tiempo y dinero comprando “las mejores marcas”. Yo di leche materna y mi bebé rechazó todas las botellas de marcas reconocidas, hasta que me sugirieron los de látex. Santo remedio.

Da gusto conseguirlos en Amazon después de haber visitado tantos supermercados que ya no les surten biberones Gerber. Mi niña de 2 años y mi bebé de 1 mes aman estos biberones y las mamilas de látex. Compré 3 paquetes de 3 biberones, recibí 2 con rosca de color verde y azul, y uno de rosa y verde.

I only received 1 bottle.

bueno
