You can buy design-forward, glass, or those made with malleable materials that are created to mimic the breast. Whichever you choose, just know the most common piece of advice you'll receive is that every baby is different. Play around with nipples and bottles until you find the one that's right for you.

Baby Brezza Two-Piece Natural Glass Baby Bottle
Deterring colic isn't the only thing the Baby Brezza Two-Piece Natural Glass Baby Bottle ($16) has going for it. With only two parts, it's by far easier to clean than some of the other more complicated options. The wide, breast-shaped nipple lets babies feed comfortably, and the design means babies swallow milk, not air.
MAM Newborn Bottle Feeding Set
This MAM Newborn Bottle Feeding Set ($25) features a sweet design and grows with your baby. The set comes with larger bottles, so when your colic-free baby starts needing more milk, you'll be ready. Dummies, for when the baby needs some comfort, are also included.
Dr. Brown's Original Bottle Newborn Feeding Set
Dr. Brown's Original Bottle Newborn Feeding Set ($25) is practically synonymous with fighting colic, and it's a great starter set. Their intricate positive-pressure flow vacuum mimics breastfeeding to reduce problems like colic and gas. Available in a variety of sizes, the bottles grow with your little one.
Joovy Boob 5oz Glass Bottle and Sleeve
If glass bottles are important to you, check out the Joovy Boob 5oz Glass Bottle and Sleeve ($19, originally $20). The rubber sleeve reduces slips and protects the glass against drops.
Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature Bottles
Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature bottles ($14 for three) fit right into a mom's hand and are designed to help a tot transition between breast and bottle-feeding. The BPA- and phthalate-free bottles also have soft, flexible nipples that stretch like human ones while the built-in valve helps reduce air intake
Medela Calma Breastfeeding Set
One would expect that the bottles designed by a company best known for their breastpumps would be ideal for breastfed babies — and Medela's Calma bottles ($13, originally $16) are. The bottle's unique nipple — it is longer and flatter than most others on the market — requires babies to use the same sucking motion used when breastfeeding in order to create a vacuum to release milk. Though the nipple has several pieces to assemble before it is placed on the bottle, users say it is worth the extra steps.
Comotomo Baby Bottle Set
A squeezable bottle? Comotomo Baby Bottle Set ($60) offers bottles designed to mimic the breastfeeding process with their wide-neck design and smooth, skin-like feel. The bottle's flexible design makes it unique in a sea of hard plastic/glass bottles. Made from 100 percent BPA-free, medical grade silicon, the bottle is actually soft, much like a natural breast, so baby can grab on and get comfortable.
nanobebe Breastmilk Baby Bottles
nanobebe Breastmilk Baby Bottles ($18) have a geometric design created to improve the process of bottle-feeding breast milk. Each bottle is designed to help preserve milk's nutritional value and give baby a better feeding experience.
Philips Avent Natural Bottle
A longtime favourite of the breastfeeding community, the Philips Avent Natural Bottle ($24 for 4) was recently redesigned to mimic nursing better than ever. A wide-neck design gives the bottle a breast-like shape, while the soft nipple feels relatively similar to the real thing. The best part is Philips Avent's anti-colic system — it is a twin valve that prevents air from leaking into the feeding baby.
