Dr. Brown's Options+ Anti-Colic vs Comotomo Natural Feel
The two bottles new parents most often agonize between: Dr. Brown's Options+ is the proven anti-colic workhorse; Comotomo is the soft, breast-like silicone bottle that wins over breastfed babies who refuse bottles.

The verdict
For a gassy, colicky, or refluxy newborn, Dr. Brown's internal vent is the most proven anti-colic system, and it's a NICU staple — worth the extra parts to wash. For a breastfed baby staging a bottle strike, Comotomo's soft silicone and wide, breast-shaped nipple are far more likely to be accepted, and it's the easiest to hand-wash. Many parents end up owning a few of each.
