Would you recommend this to other mums?
Yes I would absolutely recommend these bottles to other mums. I have found them very easy to use, my daughter has taken to them really well too. They take slightly longer to clean and put together than some other bottles, however I didn't find this to be a problem at all. The self sterilising feature is a brilliant idea and so easy to use, in minutes your have a sterilised bottle with no need for bulky sterilising machines or chemicals.
How did this product make your life easier?
The MAM Newborn Feeding Set has made my life easier while visiting family for the weekend, because of the self sterilising feature there was no need to take the steriliser with us. As long as there is a microwave where you are going, you don't have to worry about how you will get your baby’s bottles clean and sterile.
Would you choose this product to win?
I would chose this product for any future children I have. Not only are they well manufactured they look stylish and have a variety of different colours to chose from, this is something a lot of other anti-colic bottles don't have. I think what really makes these bottles stand out from the rest is the self sterilising feature.
What changes would you make to this product?
I am struggling to answer this question as I really do think the bottles are perfect as they are, well designed and not only do I like using them, my daughter has taken to them brilliantly. It would be good if there was a vari flow teat option suitable from newborn. One other thing that could be better is the cleaning brush, I feel the rubber doesn't do the best job, a soft bristle brush would be better.

Would you recommend this to other mums?
I would definitely recommend this MAM Newborn Feeding Set to my mummy friends. The bottles are not only very cute aesthetically but they have so many fantastic features. My primarily breast fed baby accepted expressed milk from the little bottle straight away and I felt confident knowing the design helped to eliminate trapped wind and colic. The sterilising function is so practical and easy to use.
How did this product make your life easier?
I think every mum is concerned with their baby becoming uncomfortable due to dealing too much air when bottle feeding and ending up with colic symptoms. My breast-fed baby suffered a lot with trapped wind in the early days, particularly after a bottle of expressed milk. I felt so comfortable giving my little girl milk from these bottles due to the way they reduce the risk of this. The fact that they are so easy to sterilise is also a great feature, saving time and washing up!
Would you choose this product to win?
I would choose this product over all others, even the ever popular Dr Brown bottles. They look very cute and are efficient and effective for my baby when I choose to give her a bottle. She suffered no colic like symptoms following a feed and accepted the bottle straight away, despite being primarily fed from the breast. I love the self sterilising function too.
What changes would you make to this product?
I wouldn't change anything about this set. I have only used the smaller size bottles to date die to my daughter’s age and nutritional needs but the set is great in that it provides different progressive sizes for baby too. It also has cleaning utensils. The dummies are also fantastic, so cute and my little girl who can be very fussy about dummies loves them!

Would you recommend this to other mums?
Most definitely! I have already been recommending this product. The innovative anti colic design worked straight away. My baby was much less wriggly and wasn't sick like he was previously! I love the way you can take it all apart for ease of cleaning without even having to use a brush too! I also like the shape of the teat which my son took to straight away.
How did this product make your life easier?
As a busy mother of 5 having a sicky and colicky baby can be really time consuming during feeds but since starting with the MAM Newborn Feeding Set not only has feeding time halved, my son takes more ounces per feed and is not sick or fidgety at all!! Because he brings up wind better he is so much more settled after feeding so cries less too. Very happy mummy.
What changes would you make to this product?
The only thing I would consider changing about the product is how narrow the top is. I found when making a larger volume feed the powder seems to float on the top. When I shake the bottle to mix the formula, the powder can collect and get stuck in the teat. It's not really a problem but would maybe be solved if the neck were slightly wider.

Would you recommend the MAM Newborn Feeding Set to other mums?
The product is easy to use, I like the self sterilising feature for both dummies and bottles.The sterilising case for the dummies is helpful when out of the house. I like the fact the bottles come apart fully making it easier to clean. The cleaning brush is good as it doesn't scratch the bottles but helps to clean the bottle thoroughly.
How did this product make your life easier?
The sterilising case for the dummies makes the product quick and easy to use, also helps to keep sterile when out of the house. The bottles are quick and easy to sterilise, this helps with limited time. The self sterilising feature of the bottles also helps when you are away from home. Both products make life easier.
Would you choose this product to win?
The product is an excellent starter product, it is good to have the different size bottles, also different sized teats to be able to continue to use the bottles as the baby gets older, this gives good value for money. The product stands out because of the self sterilising feature of both bottles and dummies.
What changes would you make to this product?
There isn't anything I can think to suggest which would improve the product, the bottles, dummies, cleaning brush and different sized teats are all excellent products. I would highly recommend all the products to my friends and family members. The set is excellent value for money and versatile to use as the baby grows.
Tested by mum Charnay Warburton for the M&B Awards 2017:
Would you recommend this to other mums?
I would highly recommend the MAM Newborn Feeding Set to all my friends and family. It is very easy to put together, quick to sterilise for hungry babies. And a joy to hold and easy to put together with a variety of different designs. The teats do not collapse from being sucking too hard as my daughter has a rather strong suck. I did not think she would take to these as easy as she did but have found them to be better than the competition.
How did this product make your life easier?
Feeding is now much easier as it use to take well over 1 hour and now takes as little as 20 minutes. The transition has been easy and winding her is also a lot easier than other anti colic bottles. Sterilising the bottles is also much quicker and easier as opposed to having a clunky sterilising unit taking up most of your counter space, as it only takes 3 minutes in a microwave.
What changes would you make to this product?
Although these are excellent as is there are a few things I would change. The first being that although they do not leak they could do with being more flush when screwed together as there is a small gap around the rim. Secondly they should really come with a base for the microwave to remove them as the bottles are all loose to sterilise it is very easy to burn yourself when your child is screaming.
