If you've been following TAP reviews, you would know that we're a big fan of MAM bottles and pacifiers. I personally found out about MAM when I was pregnant and I was looking for a brand of bottles and pacifiers for my son. There are so many in the market that it can be quite confusing, but I was specifically looking for one that would be the best anti-colic bottles for babies.
That is how I landed on MAM as all their bottles are anti-colic bottles for babies. So from the day my son was born till now (he is 20+ months), he has been using MAM anti-colic bottles for babies and beyond.
TAPReviews: Best Anti-Colic Bottles For Babies by MAM
My son Jedi has always been bottle-fed because I was unsuccessful in latching, but I continued to express breastmilk and I had feared from the start that he would get colic. I heard about the nightmares parents had to face when their kids were plagued with colic. So it was one of the things I prioritised in ensuring my son would never get colic.
One of the steps in doing so was finding anti-colic bottles. The MAM bottles have a patented vented base that ensures babies can drink at their own pace.
The Easy Start Anti-Colic bottles come with a valve at the base of the bottle that prevents the formation of air bubbles and stops the milk liquid from foaming. This creates a smooth drinking flow and prevents the baby from swallowing any excess air.
I personally noticed this when feeding Jedi and he never got any colic. That was a huge relief for me.
As he's grown from an infant to a toddler, we have continued to use MAM bottles because we are confident that this bottle is suitable for him. He had also grown really fond of the cute designs on the bottles and looked forward to his milk times.
But what we've realised is that recently, there is a new material for the MAM bottles! The new premium PPSU material is made with the highest performing thermoplastic which ultimately leads to better durability overall. Not to mention, with our obsession of sterilising, it is good to note that the heat tolerance from PPSU is better than the usual PP and PES materials!
Not only does it withstand exposure to heat better, but it also has a better capability to absorb impact, which is actually perfect because babies and toddlers are really not known for taking good care of their bottles anyway!
On top of that, PPSU plastic does not absorb odour nor colour, and is naturally BPA free. So this means that we can use the same bottles for a longer period, despite the heavy washing, sterilising and also throwing around by a toddler.
