Silicone Baby Bottle
Comotomo revolutionized the market with a soft, squeezable silicone body that mimics the skin-to-skin feel of breastfeeding. It is the best option for parents who want a non-plastic bottle but are afraid of glass breakage.
Quality & Materials
Uses 100% food-grade silicone for the body and nipple. Silicone is inert and does not leach chemicals even at high temperatures.
Evidence & Testing
Highly recommended by lactation consultants for babies with 'bottle refusal,' though clinical trials are anecdotal rather than peer-reviewed.
Brand Transparency
Company is transparent about being BPA, PVC, and Phthalate free, though specific sourcing of silicone is proprietary.
Value Assessment
Mid-to-high price point. The value is found in the longevity of the parts and the reduced risk of breakage compared to glass.
Why Not Alternatives?
It beats other silicone bottles due to its ultra-wide neck, which allows for hand-cleaning without a brush. However, it loses to glass in 'evidenceStrength' because silicone can occasionally absorb odors and has a shorter lifespan than borosilicate.
