The Tommee Tippee Advanced Anti-Colic Baby Bottle features a patented vented wand, to draw air away from baby’s tummy, and a soft silicone teat that encourages a breast-like latch to reduce air intake and help with colic symptoms. The bottles are self-sterilising, in just three minutes in the microwave and 100% leakproof with the lid. They're also BPA free and available as a pack of 1, 2, 3 or 6 in 150ml or 260ml.
Mother&Baby asked two mums to test out the Tommee Tippee Advanced Anti-Colic Baby Bottles with their babies so read on to find out what they thought of the Tommee Tippee Advanced Anti-Colic Baby Bottle and the full Tommee Tippee Advanced Anti-Colic Newborn Starter set.

The Tommee Tippee Advanced Anti-Colic Baby Bottle was tested by Stacey with her four month old baby. Here's what she thought.
Testing the Tommee Tippee Advanced Anti-Colic Baby Bottle
The Tommee Tippee Anti-Colic bottles I tested came in a pack of two. I also bought a pack of size 2 teats, which are ideal for my four-month-old baby. I have used multiple Tommee Tippee products before so I felt confident that these bottles would be suitable for my baby. I did notice a change in my baby’s colic symptoms after using the bottles which I am so pleased about - I have a much happier and comfortable baby!
Cleaning
Due to the anti-colic function of the bottle, there are more components than other standard bottles that I have used. However, it is still so simple and easy to put together. The bottles are so easy to sterilise using the microwave. There are a few smaller areas to clean, so I did have to use a bottle brush to ensure that milk is fully cleaned from all of the smaller areas.
Use
I would consider this bottle easy to use. There are more components than other bottles that I have used due to the anti-colic function but despite that the bottle is not complicated to put together. However, because there are a number of parts to put together before using the bottle, it is a struggle to put together with one hand. Otherwise, easy to put together and ideal for on the go feeding.
The Size 2 teat flow seemed to suit my baby who is four months old. My baby seemed to take well to the teat and colic symptoms seemed to significantly reduce.
The bottle felt sturdy and I can see them lasting a long time. However, the bottle barrel feels thinner than other brands. The barrel got quite hot when boiling water was poured into it and I had to wait a while for it to cool down. So, I would suggest to be careful handling it around babies until it has cooled.
Leakproof
I use the bottle to mix the formula powder and hot water, and I did find that when I shook the bottle to mix it all together that some liquid leaked from the lid. It did leave a little bit of clearing up and it is something to be cautious of when making bottles up. I did not notice any leaking when using the bottle to feed with baby though.

Our mum tester, Natalie, tried out the Testing the Tommee Tippee Advanced Anti-Colic Newborn Starter Set with her newborn. Here's what she thought.
Testing the Tommee Tippee Advanced Anti-Colic Baby Bottle Set
The Tommee Tippee Advanced Anti-Colic Baby Bottle Set is easy to disassemble to clean. With the included brush and teat cleaner I feel like every part of the bottle gets clean. Super quick and easy to sterilise using the microwave I also love the included table for multiple bottles so that I can sterilise all of them in one go. Sterilising didn't warp or change the bottles and components or cause the writing to rub off.
Reassembly is tricky one handed especially when using the anti-colic venting tube needs two hands to ensure everything is in place. Once assembled it's easy to use and there's no leaks. I also like that the measurements are clear and bold on the side.
I like that the set includes different sized bottles and teats that grow with baby to ensure continuity in the feeding journey. The soothers are sturdy and also easy to sterilise.
You get great value for money with this set.
