HOFISHSilicone Baby Bottle， 5 Ounce, Anti-Colic, Natural Feel, Easy to Clean，Pink

Bought as a gift for a baby shower. The packaging looks weird but the product inside is fine.

After trying numerous bands and styles, Comotomo bottles are our favorite. This bottle looked intriguing since it is looks extremely similar in the listing images and is 25% cheaper. Interestingly enough, the parts are interchangeable/compatible with Comotomo, as you can see in the pics. (The green band is Comotomo, the pink is Hofish.) The cap is the only part that is not compatible, but that's probably a good thing since it is SOOOO poorly designed. It is impossible to get off the bottle unless you use two hands. First you have to pry them with a lot of effort to create a seam that you can get your fingernail in, then pull the cap off. I actually prefer to use a screwdriver to pry them apart. Yes, it's that bad. My other problem with this bottle is the inaccurate images. They almost all show a handled collar with the bottle, however, NO HANDLE is included. Some review images show the handle, so they either sent the wrong part or they changed the design and forgot to change the images in the listing and on the packaging.

This was my first time with a silicone bottle. The first thing I noticed was how big the opening is. Omg how nice is that. It was so easy to clean. No bottle brush needed. After it was air dried I used it for her first feeding. The nipple is lower than the standard nipple. It made feeding a little easier. She was able to have more air flow while feeding. I love the feel of the silicone. So soft and warm when feeding. There was no problem with her latching to the nipple.After the feeding I washed it out and then sent it through the dishwasher. Came out just fine. I’ve used it now for a few feedings and really like these to the plastic bottles I have. Im really impressed with these bottles. Will update if any concerns pop up. But I’m ordering my second right now.

The size of the bottle is just perfect and exactly the kind of bottle that I needed, soft and comfortable, the nipple is a little longer than usual newborn bottles that’s why my newborn has hard times drinking from it.

We had a few other bottles of a VERY similar appearance and general design, but these imitations don't control the liquid flow from the bottle as well as the other models - and for those times when the kiddo is being an enthusiastic eater, that can be problematic. Without that control to slow down the flow of liquid the kiddo can sometimes end up with more milk than she can handle/getting soaked (or worse choked) by the excess that the other versions of this bottle would have slowed and kept within the bottle.For THAT reason, we probably won't keep this one in rotation, either at all or at least not until it's clear the kiddo has more control and has learned to regulate how much liquid she asks for from the bottle.Also, and this is kind of a weird thing, but compared to the other models, the mouth-piece on this version is weirdly longer and considering the anatomical body part it's intended to aesthetically mimic it's a bit off-putting. We didn't notice it until we had this version and the original sitting side-by-side but once you see it it's hard to unsee.
