The to-do list for a new mama is exciting, but also can feel entirely overwhelming. From preparing the nursery to choosing just the right stroller, the choices feel endless. As former new moms, we get it—some of the best products come from the tried-and-true recommendations of experienced mothers who have been through it all. We’re here to share that same valuable advice with you, starting with one of our absolute must-haves for new moms: MAM bottles. MAM Easy Start Anti-Colic Bottles are packed with features that make them the ideal all-in-one solution. These bottles not only reduce gas but are also super easy to clean. Plus, we can’t help but love the fact that in almost 50 years of business, MAM has never had a single product recall. Here’s what we love about MAM bottles and why they top our list. 7 reasons why MAM bottles are a registry must-have 1. Experts love them MAM Easy Start Anti-Colic Bottles have won the hearts of some of the most discerning people out there—experts who work with young babies day in and day out, and who have used pretty much everything out there to feed. They’re the ultimate product testers when it comes to baby bottles, so we were amazed to see just how highly they rave about MAM’s anti-colic bottles. “The MAM bottle has revolutionized the way I help babies in the NICU achieve full feeds. In my 20+ years as a neonatal feeding therapist, I have repeatedly seen infants who struggle with other bottles feed well and gain necessary weight once they are using MAM bottles,” says Meg Cook, MS, OTR/L, a neonatal therapist. Experts also love how easy they are to clean. “As a dad and registered nurse, I used MAM Easy Start Anti-Colic Bottles because they’re easy to get completely clean and sterilized. Knowing that there was no mold hiding in tiny parts gave me such peace of mind,” says Ryan Hilliard, BSN, RN. “As a nurse and mom of 3, I truly prefer MAM bottles with their self-sterilizing feature for my own baby,” notes Sarah, also known as @Labor_Junkie_RN on TikTok, a labor and delivery nurse and mom of three. “It’s so much simpler. We love our MAM bottles—they’re safe, fast and so much easier for us.” 2. Anti-colic design cuts down on gas and discomfort Colic, the excessive, unexplained crying in an otherwise healthy baby, is seriously stressful. While there are a few reasons this happens, gas from swallowing extra air from feeding is thought to be a big culprit. MAM’s Easy Start Anti-Colic Bottles bottles are designed with a unique, anti-colic base that reduces air intake into your baby’s milk—less gas and discomfort for your little one and less stress for you. 3. Easy to clean and sterilize The bottle cleaning and sterilizing cycle may not seem like a big deal yet, but when you’re on the go or at the end of a long day with an exhausted baby, the last thing you want to do is spend extra time cleaning bottles. MAM Easy Start Anti-Colic Bottles have a wide opening and a genius design that lets you open both ends of the bottle for easy access. Bottles can also be sterilized with a simple process using the microwave─a quick, convenient plus to ensure your baby’s bottles are clean and ready to use without a fuss. 4. Nipple design with mom in mind For combo-feeding mamas, the right bottle makes it easy to transition between bottle and breast. We love that MAM Easy Start Anti-Colic Bottle nipples were developed by observing a nursing mom’s breast using ultrasound technology. This clever design allows the MAM bottle nipples to mimic the shape and function of a mama’s nipple while breastfeeding. The nipple is super soft and accepted by 94%* of babies, thanks to its SkinSoft™ silicone surface and unique flat shape, making it that much easier for baby to switch between bottle and breast. *MAM internal market research 2009-2023, tested with 1,808 babies. 5. Lots of nipple flow options to grow with your baby Your little one grows faster than you can imagine; before you know it, they’ll need a faster flow rate. MAM Easy Start Anti-Colic Bottles nipples come in five different sizes with increasing flow rates, ensuring the right bottle for every stage of your baby’s development. Nipples with the appropriate flow speed reduce frustration, prevent overfeeding and encourage vigorous sucking. You can also customize your bottle even further with 5- or 9-ounce bottle sizes to pair with the nipple flow that works best for your baby. 6. All the color options Maybe this isn’t the most important factor when choosing a bottle, but there’s something to be said about having options. From lilac to mint green, MAM Easy Start Anti-Colic Bottles come in a variety of fun colors, making mealtime a little more exciting for your baby (and maybe even for you, too). 7.

They understand the importance of providing parents with safe, convenient, and reliable products to make their lives easier.
