Boon NURSH Silicone Pouch Bottle 8oz 3pk - Gray Multi

I'm a second time mom here and my first baby was exclusively bottle fed. After I went thru different brands on the market for one bottle that actually would reduce his air intake, I decided to stay with Tommy Teepee ones, that was 3 yrs ago. So this time around, I was browsing for my second baby and I came across those new silicon bottles. I decided to give a chance due to the great reviews. So, I got a set of boon Nursh and one of Comotomo. This review will be a basic comparison of both.Boon Nursh it is cheaper than Comotomo, one set of boon comes with 3 bottles, while Comotomo comes with 2, plus the fact that you can buy silicon pouches and nipples separately for the nursh saves you money in the long run since the plastic parts never touch the milk. Personally, I like to keep at least 6-10 bottles available, instead of wash 3 or 2 constantly. They both are made of silicon and the plastic parts never touch the milk, which is great and they do not retain odors like the plastic ones do. Both claim to be easy to clean and yes they are! Silicon dries faster than plastic bottles and they both have way less parts to clean than the regular plastic bottles that are on the market.Diaper Bag: Due to their unusual shape they will not fit in some of the diaper bags out there. I got one from Skip Hop and both of them fits perfectly, no problem there, if I still were using my first born diaper bag from 3 yr ago it definitely wouldn't have fit.Leak: I read posts stating that they had leakage with Comotomo, you will have leak with any of them if they are not assembled properly, I did not have any issues with both brands, except if you hold a Comotomo upside down you will get few drops out of the nipple, it won't happen with Boon, my tests were made with water and not milk or formula, as soon as my baby is born and using one or the other I'll make an update on this matter, since the viscosity of the other liquids are different from water. But let's be honest... why would anybody put a bottle upside down with no cap inside a diapper bag, plus they don't stand upside down on a flat surface anyway, not even with the cap due to their design. So no worries in there! Update: does not leak with breast milk or formula. My is been fed with both, no issues there.Breast pump: Comotomo has adapters from Papablic ( you can buy from Amazon) and you can pump breast milk straight on the bottle if you are using a spectra S2 plus, my case. I can not say for others breast pump brands.Overall, both of them are fine choices and great gifts for baby showers! You also can find nipples to buy at Target stores if you have an emergency for both brands. On the field of colic reduction I'll do an update later once my baby is here.Update: After 1 month of use ..Boom: no issues with air intake, but requires a lot of "preparation". Note that the silicone pouch won't collapse if it is not properly in the plastic holder or if you baby isn't latch right on the nipple. I had both issue before. If you take the bottle out of the baby's mouth before the feeding is done to burp, once the pouch is collapsed, it will fill with air again and your baby will get extra air intake. Not good for bottle warmerComotomo: the best choice so far, reduce the air intake, good for bottle warmers and no extra "preparation" as boon

I like that the milk only touches silicone, no plasticBUTI don't find the silicone inner bottle reliable compresses- air definitely still gets inAND2 / 3 of the nipples tore after just a couple months of use- see photo.Granted my toddler has teeth, but I don't let the baby walk around chewing on these- bottle time is lying down calmly. Plus, I still have silicone nipples from Avent, Gerber, and Medela that I bought when my baby was born and they haven't torn over 2 years of use!

They’re okay. For the cost they’re a good buy, there are bottles on the market that are better but more expensive - if you’re looking for something middle ground these are a good option. They leak if you’re not careful putting them together but as long as you make sure the silicone nipple and pouch are in place properly they won’t leak. They’re nice and easy to clean and I like how few pieces there are (at 3 AM I’m not awake enough to fumble with 6 different pieces just to get a bottle together while my baby is crying!). I like that they’re silicone (the part that actually touches the milk that is) and not plastic. I don’t find the deflating of the pouch particularly important except it helps me know that my baby is in fact still drinking, they reinflate if he stops and let’s go of the nipple so I don’t know that they’re really effective in reducing air like they claim. They only have four measurements on them (30, 60, 90, and 120 ml) so it can be tricky to try to figure out how much the baby has eaten. The numbers are the same colour as the bottle so they’re difficult to see but because there’s only four lines it’s not hard to sort out which line to use. We are exclusively formula feeding and our baby had no issues taking this bottle and he likes them, he’s a newborn and the flow of the size 1 nipple seems to work for him just fine, it’s not too fast or too slow of a flow.

Like the colors, the idea of silicone, large nippleWhat we disliked was bottle size (too wide and takes up space in our diaper bag) + silicone and hard shell make more parts to clean + lack of visibility when bottle is reaching empty during feed leading to air pockets which decompresses silicone out of shape + the ml markings are so poorly engraved they are almost invisible!

Pros: These have a wide nipple so they are easy for babes who go back and forth between boob/bottle. Also love that they seal tight, keeps extra air out and reduces colic without a bunch of extra pieces to clean.Negatives: its hard to read the amounts on the bottle and because they aren't a widely used bottle it can be tricky to find other nipple sizes.
