MAM Easy Start Anti-Colic review

MAM Easy Start Anti-Colic ranks second because it pairs a dedicated anti-colic vent with features that save time. The vent sits in the base, and MAM says the smooth drinking flow stops the baby from swallowing air and reduces air bubbles and colic. MAM is open about the evidence: a 2011 field study in Austria with 73 mothers of babies with colic and 2010 US market research with 35 mothers. The bottle has wide openings for filling and cleaning, a dust cap that doubles as a measuring cup and a self-sterilizing function in the microwave, which is handy away from home. MAM says 94% of babies accept its SkinSoft nipple, based on market research with 1,572 babies. At $29.99 for four 9 oz bottles, the price works out to about $7.50 per bottle. The 9 oz pack is labeled for 2+ months, so parents of newborns should look at the 5 oz version. We compared documented features and published prices.
