MAM Anti-Colic
72 reviews
It is NOT anticolic. It is usual bottle that gives the same gas and digestion problems. Flow is too quick even that 0+ bottle of 160 ml.. newborn is almost suffocating with that flow and then he burbs out most of the milk. Show details
Mam bottles are DANGEROUS..if u want a burnt baby, carry on using them. “MAM” needs to wake upto this flaw – If the water is hot it will explode. I’m not talking boiling water, just hot water, this bottle WILL explode over you and ur baby. This bottle should be recalled immediately. Show details

Never again – the sterilization of the bottle in the microwave caused it to heat up too much, which caused some of the microwave to melt. MAM customer service replied that they have already heard such allegations but will not refund the costs of the damage. after their 3 messages, they stopped replying to their e-mails Show details

The best bottle for wind, but had problems when transitioning between teats – MAM anti-colic is the best bottle I have used. At around 3 months, Baby was suffering from wind pain whenever I put her on the bottle; she also wasn’t a good burper so milk was coming up. We tried a few brands without much success until Mum came home with two of these. No more wind pain, less crying, less spewing! Baby, at nearly 8 mo, has now… Read more
progressed to Teat 3. NB: I breastfeed for the majority of time, and bottle feed at night before sleep.
Pros
It works! Excellent at combating wind and colic.
Excellent flat teat design that mimics the nipple. Teat is made of quality silicone.
Easy for Baby to transition from breast to bottle, then back to breast. When it’s time to wean her from breast altogether, no doubt I’ll be using this bottle.
Wide openings and parts that disassemble easily for thorough cleaning
Sterilises in the microwave in 3 mins! (They are VERY hot when they come out of the microwave, so a cool down period must be factored into timing.)
BPA free
Cons
Flow is excellent when Baby is the correct age for each teat. When Baby is in between stages, I found teat 2 (medium) to be too slow and teat 3 (fast) to be too fast. I pierced holes in teat 2 to make it a “2.7” to increase flow. This problem happened when Baby was around 5 mo.
There are 6 parts to a bottle, which can be too fiddly to assemble for sterilisation and formula prep when Baby is screaming for milk.
If the rubber base isn’t fitted over the plastic ventilation base correctly, it can leak.
Would prefer glass bottles for environmental reasons, but if you have to choose a plastic anti-colic bottle, this is it!
So glad I found these!!!! – Holy Dooley wow!! I am amazed with these MAM anti colic bottles! Our baby girl was breech and her whole body was tense when she was born. Her poor tummy was so tight that she was having trouble bringing wind up. You could tell she was so uncomfortable. We heard about some bottles that helped with colic and wind so I went to my local big w and… Read more
found these. I purchased two just in case they didn't work ( I had spent near $100 on other bottles so was a little unsure about these) boy what a blessing!! Like my title says ' so glad I found these', from the first bottle we gave her you could notice a difference. My mum was even blown away and said whether babies had colic or not everyone should be using these bottles! So the next day I went back and got 3 more!! I've just put in an order for a teething ring, two soothers and a thermometer. These products are well worth the money you pay! The steriliser is fantastic as well! I am very much looking forward to the different stages in our baby girls life and the products I can purchase along the way thanks to MAM!!
Best bottles out there – I found this bottle for baby #3 as he had severe colic. Ordered online and as soon as I tried them my baby never suffered from colic again. Now that won me as it was one extreme to another with screaming baby one minute to content and happy the next with this bottle. Then the self steralising mechanism another winner as now you don't need more… Read more
then two bottles. And just to help others regarding leaking as other reviewers had trouble. I faced same issue until I did my research and the trick is don't pour boiling hot water in there, wait till it cools then pour it in. As the extreme heat expands the bottle's base which allows for its self steralising attribute. Also, I would take one bottle out with me but would place my boiled water in a flask so I had plenty for the day and the reason I would only take one is because where ever you go these days there's a tap and a microwave. This made my life do much easier. Baby #4 is due soon and I have my wonderful Mam bottles ready. Its the only one I'll use. anti colic function works, self steralising mechanism, and you don't need to purchase more then two per baby. none.. once I had leaking issue sorted.
Positive reviews
Worth a try! – I had this bottle packed away in my sons room (baby shower gift) because I honestly didn't think he would take to it due to the shape of the teat, but after trying many others, I thought I might as well give it a go...and he loves it! I can't believe it. My son is 5 months old and has always been breastfed, so this has helped so much with the transition to formula. It's also anti colic and self sterilises. Worth a try! :D Show details
Good buy. Gets every last drop of milk – Recommended by my sister in law. I was a bit hesitant because of the teat shape and the baby took a few goes before she accepted it. Pros- All the contents drain nicely into the teat. No need to pluck the teat out and shake it to get that last little bit of milk hanging around the inside of the rim. Quick disassembly allows washing and… Read more
sterilizing of individual components. It's nice and compact although a bit on the fatter side. Our baby has not had colic so I can't really testify to the anti-colic system as we use both Pigeon and Mam. Cons- Got to be careful assembling the bottle. One mistake and it will leak all over you.
The only bottles we'll ever use – Two babies in, we had had our fair share of trialing bottles to see which one would be accepted. Our second baby had incredible gas pains and nothing we did seemed to help. Frantic 4am googling had us searching for solutions and Mam Anti-Colic bottles were recommended, purchased just hours later we haven't looked back. The teet is easily… Read more
accepted and has a nice feel to it, unlike other products on the market that feels stiff and like plastic.
The bottles are long and thin, meaning the baby can hold them in all positions with ease and they're so simple to clean and sterilise, even on the go.
If we decide to have another baby, I wouldn't even consider another bottle brand. Mam is the way to go for a happy and well rested baby, and household.
Negative reviews
Worst baby bottle on the market – Worst baby bottles on the market! 6oz bottle made half of it leaks out! Bottle built correctly and screwed tight too! Just every time you pick it up after baby has had a break you get milk everywhere! Would not recommend Show details
Beware of exploding bottles – I have been using these bottles for a couple of months and found them very good when encouraging the little one off the breast but just had one explode while making up a bottle of formula, spraying hot milk all over me and the kitchen. Thank god my toddler and the baby were both in bed not under my feet! Looking online it's not the first time this has happened. Couldn't recommend them after that Show details
Leaks everywhere – I got one of these bottles for free in the Bundle of Joy box from Chemist Warehouse.I filled it with water and put it in the baby bag, no issues with leakage there. However, while we were out at the shops bub finished her bottles of BM which we stored in another brand bottle but was still hungry so we grabed the MAM bottle of water and put in the… Read more
formula, made sure the lid was secure and tried to shake the bottle. Liquid came out from the top and bottom, it was like as though someone threw a water balloon at me. Liquid was leaking from the bottom of the bottle. It went straight into the bin after that.

Life saver (and life changer!) – After birthing a fussy baby (who knew that’s a thing), the last thing we expected was having to trial multiple bottles to find one that our tiny tot would tolerate. We stumbled across the flat shaped teat of the Mam Anti-Colic bottles and had finally found our life saver. Great design, easy to use and sterilise, and not bad looking designs. 15/10 Show details

GREAT FOR TONGUE-TIED AND REFLUXY BABIES – Don't base your decision on negative reviews, just give it a try!! After trying 12 different bottles (my son has slight tongue tie and couldn't attach to all other teats we tried except latex narrow neck), I finally found a bottle that my baby can attach to, and that actually helps with his severe reflux! It's super easy to clean, high quality and doesn't leak. I'm so happy, I would have given it 6 stars if I could. Show details
Love love love!! – My 6 week old son has suffered from really bad wind pain today we decided to try a new bottle and I saw mam bottles so we brought 2 hoping that they would work and that they did!! He drunk a full bottle without crying and kicking his legs only day one And already a huge improvement and a much happier baby
The bottle itself is good, but not good for my baby – After reading so many positive reviews, I have decided to buy this bottle because my little girl was suffering from bad wind. I was so happy to try the bottles but my baby didn’t like it at all. She is 12 weeks and she didn’t like the teat at all. Even though it says that the teat is suitable for 2 months and above the flow for her fleas too fast.… Read more
She was choking and drooling a lot. I ended up buying Dr. Browns and they are so much better. She actually enjoys drinking from them with out any pain in the tummy.
Perfect bottles – Mam bottles are the best work so great and so easy to clean as you can open up the whole bottle to clean properly. Also love that you only have to take 1 bottle with u and you can steralise it anywhere you go. I have been using it with all 3 of my children and they also don't leak so it's perfect. Well done mam I wouldn't use any other branded bottles. The only thing is they are hard to find I wish there was more shops that sell them
On mam – My baby wash born at 4.15 zo she was really little they my baby a mam start pacifier at first I I didn't want give it to her because the nipple look to big but the 2 day in the hospital hey give it her in the Nursery she was in love and ever since then mam Pacifier that mam bottles also take she is 15 months now still in love with her man… Read more
start these are the best pacifier especially with the little babies bottles are great too yes I would recommend to a friend
Love these bottles. Hard to find though – I have tried both Dr Brown's bottles and mam bottles, and mam wins hands down for us. So much easier to clean than the Dr Brown's and they are self sterilising (all you need is a bit of water and a microwave) which is awesome if you are away from home without a regular steriliser. I definitely think they helped my little man with wind. The only… Read more
downside is that I can only seem to find them online. Our Big W no longer stocks them. Teats are hard to find also when I want to upgrade. They really need to more readily available because they are a fantastic product!
Definitely helped! – We bought these bottles because our son suffers from terrible wind and thought that if his formula wasn't constantly being filled with more air bubbles from the vent in the teat that it may help to alleviate the problem. Whilst it didn't solve all our problems it definitely helped and I wouldn't look back
Be cautious!!! – I saw the ratings for the mam bottles to help with colic and reflux, on 12/19 I went and purchased a pack of the 4oz bottles for my 1 month old, I didn’t experience any improvements for starters and also I noticed mold in the bottom part of the bottle around the silicone ring; we went out for only 4 hours and in that 4 hours mold was already growing!!! Be Careful!!!!!
Helped with the wind! But flow was way too fast! – Definately helped with the wind. The flow (which was the newborn teat) was way too fast, to the point that my son was gagging on milk. He would finish a bottle (100ml) in about 3 minutes. When sat up to burp, he would vomit most of it out! The bottle contain 6 parts which have to be cleaned and sterilised, this seemed to take forever. Not easy to find either, I found it only at one place where I live.

Perfect product for babies – As my baby was suffering with silent reflux we tried so many different bottles but no look even dr.brown one didn't work for us then we bought this one's and just in one day he was like different baby . He also talking anti reflux milk so need bit bigger hole teat but this milk and bottles together work great .
Fast flow – Baby just turned 2 months so it was time for a bottle change. But itd not working for him seems as if alot comes out.at first I thought he was just trying to get used to a new nipple. I got the 2 mnth old one. Maybe itll work later.
Very dangerous bottles – these mam bottles are very dangerous, i ended up burning myself with hot milk and please mothers if anyone has them do not hold your baby and make the milk, i was making the milk and when shaking the bottle it exploded on me and the hot milk went all over my chest and neck and i have seriously burnt myself, please be careful with these bottles, never buying them again
No colic but very fast flow – This bottle certainly lives up to its name, it's definitely anti-colic but the downside is its fast flow. If your baby can't handle fast flow, it will leak everywhere. My main gripe with this bottle is it caused our baby girl become lazy at breastfeeding, she now thinks it's ok to leak even when breastfeeding, so we have stopped using this bottle.
The worst products every – My baby got a mam pacifier at the hospital she liked them so I went out and bought her some more pacifier s the nipple came off in my baby mouth think God I was holding her because she would of die, I had the bottle too they are the worst bottle I have ever had. They leak everywhere and the milk came out too fast and she was crying where she had… Read more
bad gus from them. I hate mam brand. I wouldn't recommend them to a dog they are not safe please stay away from mam brand the worst.
Wish I'd switched sooner – We tried avent, Medela, Tommee Tippee, pigeon and nuk before we found these. Perfect for my kids and mix feeding. I went straight back to MAM for our second baby and had no issues. Only down side is they can be hard to find and expensive. Recommended to my friends who had trouble getting their babies to take a bottle and they all had success too!
Flow is way to fast for a newborn! – Yesterday I purchased a MAM Anti-colic bottle 160ml, because we have been having trouble with our Dr Brown's bottles leaking. I had high hopes for this bottle which looked great in the box, self sterilising and a cute design. I purchased the newborn bottle and followed the instructions carefully before feeding my 6 week old son. I was absolutely… Read more
appalled to realise that the milk was just flowing into his mouth, he didn't even need to suck! He began choking and i removed the teat form his mouth to discover he had ingested about 90mls in less than 5 mins. Normally he will take 20 minutes to drink 100mls from his Dr Browns anti-colic bottle. He seemed uncomfortable and bought a lot of it back up. I am very unimpressed and can't believe they would design a teat for a newborn with such a ridiculously quick flow. A waste of my money as I wont be using this again. Would not recommend for newborns.
Good for colic – This is easy to sterilise in the microwave but it can take some time to dry. I have noticed mould collecting in the spout which is not what you want in a baby bottle. The manufacture guidelines have been followed to the tee. I have since found alternative bottles for fear of safety concerns.
Wish I found this when I had the first baby – Tried many types of bottles ,paid for the most expensive ones . My little one still got colic . Glad I found mam bottles . My second baby get patched to it very well and very happy . Wish I found this bottle earlier when I had my first baby .
Wish i knew about these bottles long time ago – AMAZING. After my 2week old son having a very bad night i knew i had to find something to help with colic and fast. I came across these bottles and after reading many reviews i knew i had to order some. Hand on heart, best thing i ever did. I won't use any other brand from now on. I just have one thing to say... i wish i knew about these bottles for my previous children.
Flows to fast but easy to clean – Mother-in-law swore by your MAM pacifiers. Said it was the only one her sons would take to. So when the Tommie Tippee bottles didn't work for my daughter. She ran and got me your MAM anti colic bottles. I love how you can completely take them apart to clean them. The only down side to this bottle is. That for my daughter it seems to flow to fast.… Read more
Making her choke. Which then makes her cry. I've had to switch bottles for now but can't wait to be able to use them again. once she's older.
Great Bottle But Nipple Flows Too Fast For Newborn – We tried several bottles for our BF baby but she wouldn't tele any of them. We love that she will take the MAM teat but it still flows way too fast. We are using the number 1 slow flow but find she chokes on the breast milk and gets very upset. It would be nice if there was a slower flow nipple for newborns.
So glad I found these! – When I started using Mam Anti-Colic for my baby she feels more comfortable and satisfied . The Ultra soft silicone nipple helps her adjust and the vented base allows her not to swallow air while feeding that may cause burps or gas.What’s more amazing is the self sterilizing in the microwave!
