Loved It

The Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature bottles are a hit with UK parents, who praise their natural, breast-like design that makes switching between breast and bottle easy. Many say their babies took to these bottles seamlessly, with no nipple confusion. A few note the steriliser only fits 5 bottles at a time, and some wish the range had more size options, but overall these are considered a reliable, high-quality choice for newborns.

What parents love

Natural, breast-like designParents say the wide, soft silicone teats closely mimic the feel and movement of breastfeeding, helping babies transition smoothly.

Easy to clean and assembleReviewers find the bottles straightforward to sterilise, wash, and put back together, even during sleepy night feeds.

Reduces colic and air intakeThe anti-colic valve is praised for minimising gas and discomfort during feeding.

Worth knowing

Tips from parents

Before You Buy

Check the included steriliser size fits your needs, or consider purchasing a separate one if you'll be sterilising multiple bottles daily.

Getting the Most Out of It

Introduce the Closer to Nature bottles gradually if your baby is used to a different teat shape, to allow time for them to adjust.

Safety Note

Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for proper assembly, use, and sterilisation to ensure safe feeding.
