Great! – We are currently giving Bub 1-2 bottles a week of breast milk using the nuk bottles with the small teat. She takes the bottles easily compared to some other brands, the teats are great to control flow of milk and the bottles are easy for storing and heating breast milk
Great bottle for after 3 months – I tried many bottles brands for my little one. He was 2 months premature and was bottle fed pretty much from the get go. We started using Nuk bottles from about 3 months and have not used another brand of bottle since. The only negative is that the teet leaks - have had a few occasions where I have had water or formula in my andbag and nappy bag - otherwise a great bottle
Works well for my baby – Initially I was hesitant to purchase nuk because they aren't hugely popular in AUS (avent and tommee seem to be most popular). I only bottle feed 1-2 times a day and bf other times, I found this bottle gave my son a comforting and enjoyable feed where as previous bottles where a struggle for him to finish and was not a settling experience .. I've… Read more
tried avent and mimijumi but nuk works best. My only critisism is that milk goes everywhere in the cap when shaken which can be annoying when you open the cap and it's all wet/flooded. Other than that great !
Negative reviews
Horrible, not recommended for newborns – I have tried a many different bottles and I have to say this was one of the worst bottles. The first night my baby vomited and I thought it was because she was trying to drink too fast and didn't think too much if it as she was fine after that. The next night she vomited even more out!! I was so distressed seeing her this way. She has never… Read more
vomited with any of the other brands I've used so it's definitely the bottle. The description says anti-colic but I believe she vomited as she swallowed way too much air from this bottle design. I would definitely not recommend this bottle, don't be fooled by the cute design!
Never using these bottles again! – I tried to use these bottles for my son & when he was using them it would take forever for him to finish a bottle, hes 1 month old now & today when I was feeding him with a Nuk bottle he stopped breathing, I will never use them again! After I got him to start breathing again I put the rest of the formula into a Playtex bottle and I find they are… Read more
so much better so I strongly recomend them over the Nuk bottle. These bottles were a big waste of money, I wish I would have read the reviews about them before I went out & bought them! I will never use Nuk bottles ever again.
Scary experience and terrible bottle – I wish I would have read the reviews before I spent the money on these bottles. My 8-month-old had just finished a bottle and minutes later out of no where was projectile puking an insane amount. He had swallowed so much air and was to the point of dry heaving. Not to mention the bottle leaked. Safe to say I'm never using these again.

Still using years down the track :) – Started using the nuk system for my baby and she is now 3 and yes we still do bottles at night (pls don’t judge!) but my point is quality has stood the test of time. Love my first choice heart print set. Show details
Great light weight little bottle – I used a twistshake bottle for a few days before switching to this little nuk bottle. It was easier for the baby to suck from the bottle and the bottle was easier to hold compared to the twistshake one. Show details
Great system – Great Product for small month babies that cannot latch to those Big round nipples. Been using them for 15 years with all 3 of my kids. Gentle on the tummy, gerber always makes good products Help promote good feeding habits this system isn't design for infant to be left unattended while feeding.. and you should never give baby a bottle while he or… Read more
she is lying down in his crib. Gerber is great for fallowing Pediatricians recommendation. and it fallows well within the slow drip for teat per recommendation in bottle manifacturing.
A great bottle! – I've used NUK with two kids now and my second child is a heavy refluxer. I haven't had any problems with nuk bottles. Both kids have fed very well from these, had no spillage problems and the bottles didn't leak. With my reflux bub, i find the slow flow teat is perfect even with formula. It's taught her to suck really well after having breast… Read more
feeding problems. I do have to screw the cap on hard though as if it's loose it affects the flow. The medium teats are perfect for feed thickener too. The bottles are easy to clean and a nice size. She feeds well from these bottles and their soothers are great as well. I tried Avent soothers and they wouldn't stay in her mouth. I also have the nuk microwave steriliser and it's the best $40 i've spent on baby goods.
Ok but not recommended for small month babies – I like Nuk unique teat design and it says anti colic, but it could be a little bit confused to put into baby's mouth in the right direction. I have looked everywhere who selling Nuk bottles for 0-6 months unfortunately the teats are only available in size M and I could't find any size S. I tried a few times to use Nuk to feed my 4 months old… Read more
but the milk from size M teat is still too fast and split out everywhere on my little one's face and neck.
I do find their orthodontic pacifiers are really good to use.
Worst bottle ever!! Way too fast!! – I bought this bottle because I thought it was really cute with the pink design. The pretty design is all that this bottle has going for it though. The milk came out so fast my 5 month old nearly choked, she had the bottle before bed and actually woke us up power spewing an hour later. She was fine once she had finished vomiting so it wasn't a bug,… Read more
I believe she just ingested way too much air and it didn't sit well in her stomach. Needless to say we didn't use the bottle again. Glad I only purchased on, to try!
Back to good old boring Pigeon brand bottles for us.
Fantastic bottles – I originally used all Avent 260ml bottles but i changed to these because they fill to 300ml and the Avent bottles were bothersome due to leaking, cracking over time and the valve rings were annoying. I always used Nuk dummies and was pleased so i thought the nuk bottles would be great quality too. These Nuk Bottles are sensational, and i wish i… Read more
bought the lot sooner. they fit 8 scoops of formula easily when making it with 240ml water. the bottles don't have the annoying removable valve ring so its one less bother. the bottles come in cute designs with mickey mouse, or in blue, pinks, yellow.
my baby prefers using the Pigeon Peristaltic Plus wide neck teats and these fit into the Nuk bottles perfectly.

Difficult to direct teat into mouth the correct way – I love the design and quality of the bottles and teat although I find it difficult to direct the teat into my babies mouth the correct way when I'm feeding especially at night in the dark. I find I have to touch the tear which then is a hygiene problem. Bubs is also not so keen. Love the colours and patterns Difficult to direct teat into mouth the correct way
Fantastic bottle! – We were using Phillips Avent bottles with our young son but didn't like them at all. Would take almost an hour for our son to finish a feed (approx. 90-120ml). Family members suggested we try Nuk as they had used it on their kids many years ago and always loved them. We are extremely happy with them! Our son takes less than half an hour to finish… Read more
a feed and is way more relaxed. The teats work well for our son (11 weeks old) and the bottle shape is so easy to hold. Our son is breast and bottle fed due to low milk supply and he doesn't have any problems switching between the two. The teat works well for him. They sterilise well and the design/colours are great! We love the sealing cap which comes with the bottle. Excellent for preventing leaks during transportation and mixing of formula.The only downside for us is if our son sucks a bit too hard low down on the teat, it does collapse but not to an extent that stops the milk flowing. So all in all, it's fine! Highly recommend this bottle! No air intake during feeding. Great colours/design. Excellent shape. Teat has a great flow. Sealing cap. Teat will collapse somewhat if sucked on too hard, down low.
Poor quality junk that leaks all over the place – We purchased 2 of these from Priceline and they were both defective. They leak milk all over our baby's face leaving her hysterical at a time when we are trying to settle her for bed. Half way through I changed the teat thinking that maybe I just one bad one but then the other one leaked as well. Really furious at this product - it really is a… Read more
fundamental functionality that they teat shouldn't leak. In my case, they both leaked from the air available that sits just under the baby's nose. Cannot recommend this substandard product to anyone who wants a happy baby. The colour Leaks all over baby face - wish i could have given it half a star
Very good – We are very happy with the way this bottle works for our little one. I did try a couple of the really cheap ones first because I didn't think there would be much difference but I was wrong. I would definitely recommend this , its long lasting and looks good too
Life Saver! – I tried to wean my 6 month old off the breast and after 4 weeks of trying with several bottles, teats, sippy cups, EBM and different formulas, I was just about to go insane! Nuk came to the rescue just in time and bub took it immediately and actually sucked on the teat rather than just chewing on it like she did with the others. She loved the… Read more
Winnie the Pooh bottle and would get excited about feeding time when she saw it. Teat shape and Disney designs on the bottles. Difficult to find. Not many places stock them.
Baby can't drink from it! – I bought quite a few of these bottles, and was really disappointed as my baby would suck and suck and get absolutely nothing out! I know these are meant to be slow flow but he was getting nothing whatsoever and getting very upset. the only thing I use these for now is storing milk in the freezer. Short, stout bottle makes them good for freezer storage. Unusable for drinking - baby can't get anything out of these bottles.
Love Nuk! – Love these bottles, I have always been a fan of Nuk. Don't know why they discontinued their narrow neck bottles and teats as they were fantastic. Wide neck bottles are also great too and come in lots of cute designs. There mouth wraps around the teat like it would a breast :) love them. Reliable, hardy, cute designs.
New design is terrible – I bought this new orthodontic version after being very happy with the soothers by NUK. However, the teat is terrible on these bottles! It took half an hour for my baby to get 30mls out and even after i pierced the anticolic hole it still did not allow for a more better flow of milk. Also very worried that if i have to pierce a hole bigger what the… Read more
integrity of the silicone teat is like after this...does it increase plastic poisoning of my baby?? I ended up going back to using the awful tommie tippiee bottles that i inherited after a baby shower. I have heard the older style NUK bottles (before the orthodontic hype) were much better, but its very hard to find them anymore - i would love to try these if i can get my hands on them. bottle looks pretty compared to others on the market expensive compared to other brands, teat does not release milk at a reasonable rate (even after compromising the integrity of the teat by piercing the existing holes to be bigger)
Very good product for your baby – I live in Brazil and I bought this product when I travel. The shipment was fast and the quality of product exceeded my expectations, I recommend and more. If you want a very good quality, buy this NUK. it's terrific, my baby love it. Thank very much to all Bye Quality

Fantastic! No more gulping – I have recently changed to bottle feeding my one month old. I just got some bottles from the supermarket and was finding my baby was gulping down her formula along with lots of air. After every feed she was in pain and not sleeping. I changed my bottles to NUK and could not be happier. She has much better control while drinking and is easier to burp which means no more pain. So happy! Great for colic
Best Bottles – I have 3 kids and have always used NUK. My 1st daughter when she came home from the hospital I had bought 5 diff brands of bottles and she refused to drink from any of them as she was having a hard time geting milk out of them. I went to the store and bought NUK bottles and they worked perfect.I also breast fed along with the bottle and these did… Read more
not compromise breast feeding.These are the ONLY bottles I would recommend.They also stayed looking new for months. I changed the tops every 3 months but the bottles last ages through dish washing to boiling them on the stove.Love these bottles. Long lasting,easy for bubs to drink,colorful
the most amzing bottles ive ever used – the pink print nuk bottles, are the best bottles ive used. they dont leak, like some of the avent and tommee tippee ones ive used. i bought them when my daughter was around 3 months, ten months later they still look brand new , not one bit of fading from the picture, the only thing i haven't liked about the bottles is , unlike the avent… Read more
bottles , the lid doesn't cover/press on the teet , so you have to take the lid off and put a cap in side then put the lid back on and shake.
but they come in gorgeous colours, pink for girls, blue for boys , or teddies, red and dark blue.
Good Job Nuk! colour doesn't fade! doesn't leak! cute designs! inexpensive!
Love them to the moon and back. So did my baby! – My breast and bottle fed first child was raised on these bottles. They are a sturdy hard plastic and i never had any wind trouble because of its air flow hole. I love them so much and she took really well to co-feeding. Although im not using them this time i have nothing but good things to say about them.
amazing wow – its a fabulous my first child took it no problems we tried so many other slim neck bottles and she got colic in the first week. then we tried nuk it is soo good and the air system is soo smart she hasent got colic soo far she loves the bottle with any thing inside. baby took straight away sterelizing is not as bad as some bottles we have tried expensive, nipple cracked easly Show reply
Excellent – I love love love it! This was the 6th differnt brand of bottle and i've finally found a winner! I love the choice of latex or silicon teats. THey store and travel well. he large 300ml size (makes preparation SO much easier), it really doesn't leak and the LARGE hole is fantastic for thickened formulas and anti reflux formulas-very hard to come by… Read more
with other brands! The orthodontic teat makes feeds easier and the anti colic valve helps to prevent wind. because it is such a tall bottle it doesn't fit in my tommee tippee microwave sterilizer so just boiling in open pan of water to sterilize
Great bottles, cute designs – I used Nuk bottles from the very first with my little boy and he loved them. The shape of the teats are similar to mommy's nipples so they are breastfeeding friendly. They come in many colors which prevents them from being boring. Durable, relatively cheap, great to look at.. Air vent technology helps with colic
Excellent – To those mothers who's having a problem of their babies rejecting bottles, I would very much recommend to try this product. I was having a problem to combine breast and bottle feeding. My baby rejected ALL silicone- made teats of ALL famous brands namely Avent, tomme tippee, dr brown, japlo, etc. What I noticed about the other brands was that the… Read more
silicone teats are not as soft as NUK's silicone teats. The soft NUK silicone teat resembles the soft texture of the breast nipple. So, my baby can enjoy both bottle and breast feeding, without being confused of the contour and softness of the breast nipple & bottle teats. The NUK First Choice bottles also come with latex teats which are just superb! Latex teats are even softer, and even closer in resemblance to the breast nipple. And 1 more thing, my baby didn't have colic AT ALL! And I love the design too! My bottles are printed with flowers, butterflies, teddy bears, cute animals, etc. Unlike the other brands which are just plain bottles with their brands printed on it without any colourful printings. I just simply LOVE this product!! None at all!
Love to death – i love NUK i have used other bras and nothing compares to NUK, no other bottles can with stand dishwashers and microwaves (I have had a bottle explode on me from the water being too hot) i love how they come with everything you need to travel with!!! i love the versatility of colours, there inexpensive, they can be dishwashed and microwaved… Read more · 1
without warping, exploding and the plastic doesnt thin out!! there the perfect width for little hands and come in bigger mills.
*** Brilliant *** – I have had no problems whatsoever with these bottles / teats. I have mixed feeds ( breast / bottle ) with ease. Baby enjoys both & has not been sick or had reflux once...
Excellent – They are great bottles that have never leaked and easy to use. They are easy to clean using any type of steraliser. The main reason that I purchased these bottles was because of the Air Flow System which is to reduce the risk of Colic. The teats are shaped to sit on the tongue and look very comfortable to use. Very cute designs on the bottles.… Read more
I found the first choice bottles to be a little wide for a smaller baby to hold, however I used the standard neck bottles for the first few months.
Excellent – I tried 6 differant brands of bottle, and 7 different nipples. This is the only bottle that my baby can feed from. She couldn't latch on to any other, but gets a perfect seal on this. I love it. the nipple is great for my baby, It is a comfortable bottle to hold, and I love the colors That you have to use a travel disk to stop it from leaking,… Read more
however I don't think there is any other alternative because of the design of the nipple (which I love). It is still a great bottle
A feeding Life Saver – My daughter was 5 weeks prem and had trouble breast feeding. It turns out that she had no sucking reflex at the back of her mouth like normal babies and therefore also had trouble feeding of a normal bottle teet. It was because of this that we tried the Nuk bottles. The Teet sits int he roof of the mouth therefore does not affect my daughters… Read more
ability to suck (she has a strong sucking reflex at the front of the mouth, but not the back).
My daughter has thrived on this bottle. Like the versatility. Can buy different sizes and also are adaptable to change to weening teets. I didn't like that some were not BPA Free, but that has been rectified. Other than that, they are a little pricey, but worth the money.
