List Of Top 5 Best Baby Bottles For Breastfed in 2020:
1.MAM Easy Start Anti-Colic Bottle 9
If you want a calm and natural feeding experience for your baby, we suggest you go for MAM easy start anti-colic bottles.

This bottle for breastfeeding babies comes with a technologically advanced nipple design to encourage healthy feeding and good oral development.
This bottle is made to prevent your baby from colic, gas problems and acid reflux while providing a maximum amount of comfort and relaxation. The patented vented base controls the pressure and prevents the formation of foam or bubbles to make sure that babies do not inhale air in their tummy while feeding.
The vented base can easily be adjusted to give smooth milk flow, and the nipple design is symmetrical and orthodontic to provide a comfortable fit in your baby’s mouth. It comes with a leak-proof cap that you can double as a measuring cup while making the bottle.
This anti-colic bottle features a Skin-Soft nipple. The elongated shape of the nipple gives a natural feel to the babies and makes it easy for them to switch between breast and bottle.
All the products manufactured by MAM especially their anti-colic feeding bottles are 100% BPA, BPS and lead-free so new parents can have their peace of mind and aim towards a safe start in their newborn’s life. As long as the cleaning is concerned, you do not have to buy a baby bottle sterilizer as these bottles can self-sterilize in a microwave within 3 minutes.

2.Philips Avent Natural Baby Bottle, Clear, 9oz, 4pk, SCF013/47
Today, Philips Avent Natural baby bottles are considered as the most natural way to bottle feed babies who are habitual of breastfeeding.

The bottles feature a twin-valve venting system (built right into the nipple), integrated to lower gassiness from the air inhaled by the babies during feeding. The wide nipple can help you avoid fussiness and tantrums that babies usually show when you try to shift them between the breast and the bottle.
