Why is the whole Comotomo bottle made of silicone, not just the nipple?

Comotomo's design intent is a bottle that feels closer to skin in the baby's hands and during holding, not just at the nipple. The soft, squeezable body is part of what the brand markets as easing breast-to-bottle transitions, since the entire bottle has a different tactile quality than a rigid plastic or glass body.

Is Comotomo dishwasher safe?

Yes, Comotomo bottles are dishwasher safe, though the brand and many long-term owners note that hand washing with warm soapy water extends the silicone's appearance and feel over time versus repeated high-heat dishwasher cycles.

Does Comotomo's wide neck actually eliminate the need for a bottle brush?

For most cleaning, yes. The wide opening is large enough to fit a hand or a wide sponge inside for a thorough wipe-down, which is faster than brushing a narrow-neck bottle. A bottle brush is still useful for the nipple and collar threads, which the wide opening doesn't reach.

How do I know which Comotomo flow level to buy?

Comotomo bottles ship with a flow level matched to the size: 5oz bottles typically include a slow-flow nipple for 0 to 3 months, and 8oz bottles typically include a medium-flow nipple for 3 to 6 months. Faster flow nipples are sold separately as the baby grows.

Comotomo Baby Bottle Review: The Softest Nipple in the Category

The Comotomo Baby Bottle is a fully silicone, wide-neck bottle with dual anti-colic vents built into the nipple collar. At $24 to $27 for a 5oz double pack, its soft, skin-like texture is the standout feature for babies who reject firmer nipples. Full review.

Some babies take any bottle without a second thought. Others clamp their mouth shut at anything that doesn't feel like skin. Comotomo was built for that second group.

The entire bottle, not just the nipple, is made from medical-grade silicone, giving it a soft, squeezable texture that's distinct from every plastic or glass bottle in this category.

At $24 to $27 for a 5oz double pack, it's priced above most competitors on a per-bottle basis, and you get 2 bottles instead of the 4 found in similarly priced packs from Philips Avent or Dr. Brown's.

For households where a baby has rejected 1 or 2 other bottle brands already, the softer texture is frequently the deciding factor that gets a bottle accepted.

What You Are Buying

Comotomo sells its bottles in 5oz and 8oz sizes, each shipping with a flow level matched to the typical age for that size, slow-flow for the 5oz and medium-flow for the 8oz. This review covers the 5oz double pack.

The nipple and collar include dual anti-colic vents, positioned to let air escape without an internal straw, a simpler mechanical approach than Dr. Brown's vent system while still targeting the same swallowed-air problem.

The wide neck opening is a genuine usability feature beyond the nipple itself, wide enough to fit a hand inside for cleaning without needing a bottle brush for most of the interior surface.

Using It Day to Day

Assembly is straightforward, similar part count to a standard 3-part bottle, just with a nipple and collar that feel noticeably softer and more flexible in hand than rigid plastic equivalents.

Washing benefits from the wide opening. Most parents can hand-wash the body in under a minute without a brush, though the nipple and collar threads still benefit from a smaller brush or dedicated nipple cleaner.

Feeding with the soft silicone body means more give under a baby's grip and squeeze than a rigid bottle, which some parents find helps a fussy baby settle in faster.

What It Does Well

The texture is the standout, and it's not a subtle difference. Compared side by side with a hard plastic or glass bottle, the silicone body genuinely feels closer to skin, which is the entire premise of the product and the reason it shows up repeatedly in recommendations for babies who reject other nipples.

The wide-neck cleaning design saves real time day to day. Not needing a brush for most of the bottle interior is a meaningful convenience across dozens of washes a week.

Stability on a flat surface is better than expected. The rounded silicone base resists tipping in a way that some narrower rigid bottles don't.

What Falls Short

The price per bottle is genuinely higher. At 2 bottles per pack instead of 4, building a full 6 to 8 bottle rotation costs more than doing the same with Philips Avent or Dr. Brown's.

Silicone shows wear differently than plastic or glass. Fingerprints, light grip marks, and a slightly duller look over time are more visible on silicone than on a hard, glossy plastic surface, though this is cosmetic rather than functional.

Not every accessory fits. The wide barrel shape doesn't fit into every bottle warmer insert or car cup holder, worth checking against equipment you already own before buying a full set.

Who Should Buy It

Comotomo is right if: your baby has rejected firmer nipples before, you want the fastest hand-washing routine without a brush, and you're comfortable paying more per bottle for that texture.

Consider alternatives if: you're building a large bottle rotation on a budget (Philips Avent 4-packs cost less per bottle), you want the deepest anti-colic vent research (Dr. Brown's Options+), or you're feeding mostly pumped breastmilk (Nanobebe's faster warming).
