The material from which the bottle and teat are made is pleasant to the touch and smooth. Made of safe, certified raw materials. The plastic of the bottle is stiff and does not dent. The product elements connect together properly. The advantage of the bottle is the widened bottom, which makes it easier to grip and maneuver the bottle. The pacifier is suitable and properly profiled, but for children younger than 4 months. For older children, it is too short and flat, which may result in incorrect gripping and excessive stimulation of the biting reflex.

The shape of the bottle allows it to be comfortably held by the parent/guardian, and later also by the child independently. The individual parts fit together well. The bottle is made of child-safe, non-toxic raw materials. All elements can be washed at high temperatures. The bottle vents very well during feeding. The membrane in the unscrewed bottom of the bottle equalizes the pressure inside the bottle very well, thanks to which the child generates the same compression force when eating a portion of milk. The possibility of self-sterilization in a microwave is a quick and cheap way to maintain proper product hygiene. The pacifier is flexible and flat, well suited to the oral cavity of an infant with proper muscle tone.

The plastic from which the bottle is made is pleasant to the touch, with contours for comfortable holding and irregularities that provide an anti-slip effect when in hand. Venting the bottle through the bottom is a good solution. Assembling the bottle requires precision and more attention than standard ones, otherwise leaks may occur. The 260 ml and 320 ml bottles seem to be too capacious for the needs of infants of the age for which they are intended and therefore may be too large and heavy for the child to hold on his own.

Stage III - Application testing

The purpose of the third stage of product evaluation was the confirmation of the safety of use and the assessment of the product properties declared by the manufacturer during operational tests.

The bottle fits well in the hand and does not slip. It is made of good quality material - it has not changed despite regular washing and steaming. The scale hasn't worn off either. My daughter likes the pacifier and had no problems with sucking from the bottle. The material of the pacifier does not stretch and is durable. The bottle is nicely made and has delicate colors. The only drawback is the measuring cup, which starts at 60 ml. My daughter is a premature baby, sometimes I need to give her 20-30 ml, and then it is difficult for me to measure it precisely.

The bottle is made of thick plastic and does not bend under pressure. Filled with milk, it is not very light, but its weight is acceptable. All the elements of the bottle fit together, but you have to be careful when assembling it, it may leak if it is not assembled properly. The bottle is durable and looks like new after a few weeks of use.

The bottle fulfilled its role 100%. You can unscrew the bottom and it is easy to clean. A big plus is the possibility of self-sterilization. Another advantage of the bottle is the measuring cup on the bottle cap. It would be useful to have an inverted measuring cup to control how much milk is left in the bottle (the measuring cup only starts from 60 ml). The flow in the teat suited my daughter, she did not choke while sucking. The bottle is a bit too big and heavy for my daughter, she can't hold it on her own. It is made in calm colors.

My husband and I have been calmer since our daughter drinks from the MAM bottle because the teat blocks the milk flow too quickly and we are not afraid of her choking.

First of all, the bottle is very nicely made, handy, a cool idea with an opening bottom, which makes it easy to wash it thoroughly. The child ate happily the first time. The only noticeable minus for us is the lack of measuring cup below 1 because due to tummy problems we write down how much she ate.

I was very pleasantly surprised that the bottle is very light, the material it is made of is easy to wash (despite the fact that we use a special thickener that causes a huge sediment where, among others, it was hard to wash off from the lovi bottle) and the teat and its shape finally suited my little premature son, who had a hard time choosing the right one for his tiny face. The bottle looks great - not too much or too little happens on it. In addition, the anti-colic system is some kind of magic‼️ 🙈 I have no idea how the MAM BABY company did it 🤷 but... I AM ETERNALLY GRATEFUL THAT AFTER MANY BATTLES RELATED TO SELECTING THE RIGHT BOTTLE FOR A PREMIER BABY, WE FINALLY COME INTO YOU ❤️💜
