Tools and Hardware Reviews of Gerber NUK Orthodontic 10-oz. Bottles - 3-pk Colors MAY Vary
Customer Review: My Son loves these!
Summary: 5 Stars
My son had trouble with bottles...either too slow or too fast flowing...but he loves these bottles. Having the nipple flow upwards helps his sucking better, and it is comfortable on his gums. Works for formula or juice.Customer Review: NUK BOTTLES

It was a very fast delivery for the product; although shipping charges were too high. Thank you.Customer Review: Great Bottles, but Poor for Travel
Summary: 4 Stars
The Gerber Nuk Orthodontic bottles are cute, and overall well designed. Initially, the nipples on the bottle may be difficult to figure out which way to put in your baby's mouth. We quickly learned that the hole in the nipple should be on the roof of the baby's mouth (if you see the vent hole pointing up towards your baby's nose, you got the nipple hole in the correct direction). The bottles are easy to clean, and are shaped short and wide, thus allowing our daughter to easily hold it by herself with both hands without tipping over.
My one gripe with the bottle is that because the nipple hold placement is on the side of a nipple as opposed to directly on the top, if you shake the bottle with formula in it, the formula leak out, even with the cap on! We learned this the hard way when absent mindedly tossing a full bottle into a backpack, and it tipped over sideways! If you're conscientious about keeping your bottles upright, you wont have a problem. Also, you will need to either use your finger to block the hole when mixing formula, or use a spoon. Most people will most likely overlook this one inconvenience, as having an easier time feeding your baby trumps over all.
The 5-ounce bottle set comes with the slow flow nipples. The 8-ounce bottles come with medium flow nipples. For those who think these bottles are too expensive, often Gerber sends out coupons that include $3 off any Nuk Bottle. At Target, these bottles are generally priced around $5 per bottle for either the 5- or 8-ounce size. The fast flow nipples are sold separately.
Outside of the bottle cap leaking problem, I would recommended this bottle to my new mommy friends! Recommended!
Customer Review: Bestter than the rest
Summary: 4 Stars
I would not say this is a "perfect" bottle, but it is better than all the others I've tried. Our 2 month old was very colicky in the beginning, so we tried Playtex Vent Aire b/c of all the things we heard. I kept the bottles for the past 2 months, but after only 2 weeks the discs started leaking. I went around and around w/Playtex on the phone, first they said I didn't boil them long enough, then that it was the powdered formula that shouldn't be shaken in the bottles, etc., etc. They did send me new discs and I tried doing everything exactly the way they said, but we still had constant problems w/them leaking. The only good thing about them was that no liquid would leak out at all (due to the vacuum) unless the baby is actively sucking. Fed up with the leaking next we tried 2 different kinds of drop in liner bottles. These were convenient (except for the cost to keep replacing the liners) but when tilted down the milk would quickly drip out of the nipples, much faster than my baby could drink. As a last resort we tried these NUK type...and they are by far the best! Nothing will leak out of the nipples unless you hold the bottle completely vertical. Some milk does tend to leak out of my baby's mouth, so that part is not as good as the vent aire, but, a bib around his neck takes care of the problem, and I would much rather deal with that then with leaking bottles on my dresser and in my diaper bag!Customer Review: Great nipple for newborn but BPA in bottle
Summary: 4 Stars
My newborn is doing well with the slow-flow nipple but I wanted to switch to a BPA-free bottle. So, I bought the Born-Free 9-oz glass bottle instead, but discovered that the Born-Free nipple did not suite my baby. He would swallow too much at a time and spit up lots of milk. I ended up switching the nipple with the NUK nipple (it may not look like it would fit, but it does!) and now it's a perfect combination.
