The Tommee Tippee Advanced Anti-Colic 260ml Self-Sterilising Bottle Twin Pack is a set of two wide-neck baby bottles built around a three-piece venting system designed to manage the air baby takes in during a feed. If you're bottle feeding expressed milk or formula and want to make feeds more comfortable — with less fuss around wind, gas and reflux — this is the anti-colic bottle range to look at. Each bottle holds up to 260ml and comes with a soft slow-flow teat as standard, so you have everything ready for the newborn stage straight out of the pack.
What sets the Advanced Anti-Colic bottle apart is its vented wand and star-shaped silicone valve, which draw air down and away from the milk rather than into baby's tummy. It's also self-sterilising in the microwave in just three minutes, which is genuinely useful when you're short on counter space or want a quick way to get a clean bottle ready between feeds.
How it works
- Vented wand and star valve: Air is drawn into the vented wand, passes through the star-shaped silicone valve, and is carried away from the milk while baby feeds — the system is designed to reduce the air baby takes in.
- Soft, flexible teat: The soft teat is designed to encourage a breast-like latch, which the brand links to less air intake during feeds.
- Leak-proof lid: With the lid on, the bottle is leak-proof even when held upside down, so it's easier to pop into a bag.
Tommee Tippee reports that 95% of parents using the bottle agreed it reduces colic. This is a brand-reported figure and describes the design intention of the venting system — it isn't a guarantee that colic, gas or reflux will be prevented or treated for every baby.
How to use the self-sterilising function
- Add 50ml of water, using the dotted line as a guide.
- Rest the assembled lid, ring and teat on top — but don't fasten them.
- Microwave for 3 minutes.
The bottles can also be sterilised using other methods, and the venting tube does not need to be dry inside afterwards.
Best for
The Tommee Tippee Advanced Anti-Colic 260ml Self-Sterilising Bottle Twin Pack is a great option for parents who:
- Want an anti-colic bottle system designed to reduce swallowed air during feeds
- Like the convenience of a bottle that self-sterilises in the microwave in a few minutes
- Are starting out and want two ready-to-use bottles with slow-flow teats included
It may not be the best fit if you'd prefer a simpler bottle with fewer parts to disassemble and clean, since the venting wand and valve add a few extra pieces to wash.
Pandylane Pro Tip: The teats used on the Advanced Anti-Colic bottles are the same as those on the Tommee Tippee Natural Start range, so as baby grows you can add faster-flow or variable-flow teats from across the range rather than being limited to a single option.
The bottles are always BPA, BPS and phthalate free.
