Our testers and their babies were unanimous: they all loved the &#;smooth&#; surface of the BORRN silicone bottles. &#;They are super soft to touch,&#; enthused JazzN92, who loved the &#;squishy&#; feel of the bottles &#; as did her baby son: &#;He absolutely loves to squeeze them!&#; Similarly, Ellababy&#;s daughter &#;really enjoyed feeding and playing with the bottles.&#;

In terms of weight, tester Nimah was &#;pleasantly surprised at how light&#; the BORRN bottles felt compared to other bottles  &#; for her and her baby. &#;The BORRN bottle is so light that my 14-month-old could hold it himself, which really allowed him to take ownership of his drinking and meant I didn&#;t have to hold the bottle for him.&#; Wendy C had a similar experience, commenting that her baby &#;could hold the bottle easily, which she couldn&#;t when we used other bottles made from different materials.&#;

What are the health benefits of using a BORRN silicone baby bottle?

Aside from the pleasing texture and lighter weight of the BORRN bottles, other wins include the fact the silicone is BPA-free. Our testers found this particularly reassuring, with tester Ellababy describing it as &#;a huge relief knowing the materials are safe&#; for her baby. Silicone&#;s high-heat resistance is another bonus, as the bottles can safely go in a microwave and steam steriliser &#; &#;there&#;s no need to worry about any toxic substances released during sterilising.&#;

The &#;innovative design&#; of the BORRN bottles means that they are sealed with silicone, with a small amount of plastic &#;hidden&#; or covered by silicone. Not only does this ensure the bottle contents (expressed breastmilk or formula) won&#;t come into contact with plastic, it also prevents leaks. In the words of tester Jenogs2, &#;this is a leak-proof unit. My baby can squish and squeeze it and still no leakage.&#;

How do you assemble and use a BORRN bottle?

There are just two &#; yes, two &#; pieces of the BORRN bottle, making it &#;incredibly easy to assemble&#; according to tester Nimah, who loved that there were &#;no fiddly parts, unlike other anti-colic bottles&#; she&#;s used previously. &#;The top of the bottle is a teat and collar in one which means you don&#;t have to spend time fitting the teat into the collar,&#; explained Jenogs2. Instead, you simply screw the top to the bottom.

When it comes to cleaning and using the BORRN bottle, things are just as simple: The &#;cup shape&#; of the bottle and wide opening make the bottles &#;really easy to clean&#; and &#;very easy to put scoops of formula in without any mess.&#; Plus, the smooth surface and beaker-like shape make the bottle &#;easy to hold and grip.&#;

Do babies take to the BORRN teat and nipple?

Like the rest of the product, the breast-shaped teat and nipple of the BORRN bottle are made from skin-like silicone to encourage latch and feeding. The combination of shape and softness &#;makes the bottle-feed experience closer to breastfeeding,&#; according to one tester, whose baby took a few attempts before getting used to the teat and finishing a bottle of milk.

LaurenB92 found her baby &#;took to the BORRN bottles straight away due to the lovely, soft texture of the teat and the similarities to a breast.&#; Ellababy&#;s daughter &#;didn&#;t latch because she&#;s used to different-shaped teats and nipples,&#; but Ellababy is hopeful that her baby will take the BORRN bottles &#;when she is older, for water or milk.&#; Happily, the variable-flow teat (available to buy separately) is suitable for babies aged 9M+.

Can silicone feeding bottles outperform those made of plastic and glass?

Our testers agreed that in many ways the BORRN silicone bottles are superior to the non-silicone bottles they and their babies have tried before, giving particularly positive feedback on their appearance, feel and performance. Mum-of-one Jadegabriellexo praised the &#;user-friendly&#; bottles for having a &#;unique design and texture,&#; being &#;reassuringly free from BPA&#; and &#;very easy for little ones to hold.&#;

And tester Wendy C is convinced the BORRN silicone bottle trumps both short lifetime polypropylene bottles and heavy and breakable glass bottles. &#;In contrast, the BORRN bottles have a much longer lifespan, are extra light in weight and are shatterproof. Plus, the BORRN bottles are completely leak-proof.&#;
