Find out what our parent testers thought of Nuby Natural Touch Decorated Bottles.
Tested by mum Kris Gibbons for the M&B Awards 2016:
Why would you recommend this product to a friend/fellow mum?
I love the design of the bottle, the elephant design was lovely. They come in a range of colours. The teat is lovely and soft but also quite stretchy. The bottle was lightweight enough for my son and me to hold. At 15.00 for 6 bottles they’re really excellent value for money.
How does this product make your life easier as a mum?
The valves in the bottom of the Nuby Natural Touch Decorated Bottles teat really reduced any trapped wind. Non windy baby = happy mummy.
If you could change one thing about this product what would it be?
I don’t think I would change anything. The design isn't really anything new and that's why I haven't given it a 5.

Why would you recommend this product to a friend/fellow mum?
The Nuby Natural Touch Decorated Bottles are exceptional value for money, straightforward and easy to use. I tried the slow and fast flow teats and both were well received by my baby who took to them with little fuss. The bottles are also super easy to clean, and the silicone teats are easy on baby’s gentle gums. Unlike other bottles, the lid is also easy to take off. Although big, the bottles are lightweight and hold up to 270ml which will come in handy as baby gets older. An all-round great value product.
How does this product make your life easier as a mum?
The Nuby Natural Touch Decorated Bottles come in a pack of six, making it convenient, as there’s always a bottle available. Additionally, I very much appreciated that the bottles could hold up to 270ml of milk, ensuring that I didn’t have to keep ‘topping up’ the bottle, and could just pour a full measure in to it (I use 200ml milk bottles). This meant less waste and fussiness with baby. The soft teat was also soothing on baby, which I found helpful during his teething.
If you could change one thing about this product what would it be?
There are two things I would change about this product. The first is that it’s not anti-colic, and even though it claims to release air, I found that it created an awful lot of bubbles in his milk. Secondly, the design is quite bulky, I would prefer it to be less chunky, as it was hard to fit in my baby bag.

These are great bottles. They are a Nucor comfortable shape to hold and the teat is really soft - my baby loved it. They were easy to take apart and clean with no fiddly bits. They are also just the right size for a hungry baby!

I really liked the cute elephant design, we had lots of admiring comments when out and about and they made my baby smile :) They were easy to use and simple to take apart and clean.

We really liked these bottles and can't really think of anything that could make them even better! The lid is a bit of a funny shape but it was secure and easy to use.

Why would you recommend this product to a friend/fellow mum?
The Nuby Natural Touch Decorated Bottles are excellent bottles. I've tried other ones but my babies have been so fussy and tried to push them away. The teats on these are more natural and it's making the transition from breast to bottle a lot easier. It's also good that they come in a six pack, and the different flow teats are ideal. I will not be using any other bottles.

Finally finding a bottle that both my babies will take to is such a relief. No more frustration from them or from me! These bottles are worthy of a Gold Award! The bottles are also easy to hold, and the elephant design is cute!
If you could change one thing about this product what would it be?
These are ideal!

Why would you recommend this product to a friend/fellow mum?
These Nuby Natural Touch bottles are a marvel! My little boy latched on right away and wanted to have a go of holding the bottle by himself. After trying so many bottles with unsuccessful results, my baby and I are finally delighted! The medium flow teat seems to work the best for him.
How does this product make your life easier as a mum?
These bottles make life so much easier now. No more frustrating tears, and feeding is now stress-free and seems to relax my little boy. I also feel he is not swallowing as much air as he did with previous bottles tried. I believe these should get a Gold Award, and I am recommending them to my friends!
If you could change one thing about this product what would it be?
They are fantastic!

Why would you recommend this product to a friend/fellow mum?
Good and easy to handle design, very easy to clean, comfortable design when feeding, easily fitted into my steriliser.
How does this product make your life easier as a mum?
Very comfortable and easy to use and clean, my little girl took to the bottles straight away and I found them easy to hold so she could feed herself.
If you could change one thing about this product what would it be?
The measuring symbols could be a little clearer, maybe of a darker colour to make them easier to see especially when you're half asleep.
Tested by Chris Brotherton for the M&B Awards 2016:
Why would you recommend this product to a friend/fellow parent?
Perfect for a newborn with the unisex elephants printed on. Very neutral and suits a tiny baby. Nice shape to bottle that feels nice in the hand when feeding a baby. Bottle shape is also easy for baby to attempt to hold when bigger. Teat works well and is true to description for slow, medium, fast etc. easy to clean out to keep hygiene standards high
How does this product make your life easier as a parent?
I can't do anything better or quicker but it's nice to have a decorated bottle instead of the norm, something else to look at and is cute for newborns. They would be a lovely gift at a baby shower as I have had lots of comments from new moms asking about them.
If you could change one thing about this product what would it be?
I’d like to see more designs and series for the decorated feature eg. clowns, circus etc. even boy and girl themes, not just pink and blue colours.
Tested by mum Faye Jones for the M&B Awards 2016:
Why would you recommend this product to a friend/fellow mum?
We really liked the fact this is dishwasher-safe! A massive plus point for me with bottles and I also like flexi latch teat which enables me to combine both breast and bottle feeding, as my daughter wasn't overly keen on a bottle at first. The fact that the bottle comes in decorated patterns is a unique factor and doesn't make them plain and boring.
How does this product make your life easier as a mum?
With these bottles the best thing is the fact my daughter’s colic has reduced since starting on them, there is an anti-colic valve which enables my daughter to be less windy and more settled. We love the fact the bottles are fairly easy to clean also which when you are in a rush and having to sort out a baby and a toddler this is a great plus!
If you could change one thing about this product what would it be?
One thing I would change about these bottles is I would make them out of slightly harder plastic as when I dropped one, it cracked but I suppose they aren't supposed be dropped on the floor. Anyway, other than that, there is nothing I would change and the price point is great!
Tested by mum Liz Sypko for the M&B Awards 2016:
Why would you recommend this product to a friend/fellow mum?
These bottles are fantastic! The design is really cute with animals on the front so can be bought when gender isn't known. The bottles are a really good size, so once baby is able to hold their own bottle it's great! Because of the size they fit easily into bags so transport is easy! I found cleaning the bottles was quick as they weren't fiddly!
How does this product make your life easier as a mum?
Having bottles that are quick and easy to clean saved lots of time and in the pack there were 6 bottles so you only needed to clean once a day! Also the bottles are baby friendly for them to hold so frees up some hands!
If you could change one thing about this product what would it be?
Nothing, amazing bottles!!
