The Similac SimplySmart 8 Oz Bottle is especially designed for infant and has a special design that makes it safe for them. The BPA-free baby bottle has a special venting system that helps in reducing excess air which can otherwise lead to gas and fussiness. It comes with a naturally shaped nipple that makes it convenient for the baby to feed through it. The baby feeding bottle is perfect for travel purpose as it does not leak. It has a SmartClose feature that locks out leak and a blue shield on the bottle lets you know if it is closed properly. The bottle also features EasyMix, a special mixing device that helps in reducing the bubbles and makes it safe for baby.
I was given the 4oz version of this bottle (with level 1 nipple) by my son's pediatrician because my son has a congenital heart defect..... so he could eat without having to work too hard to get it out of the bottle and couldn't collapse the nipple as he constantly did with other bottles. After a while, he got so he was getting stronger and putting on weight due to the formula switch (Enfamil newborn to Similac Advanced).... now he's using the 8oz bottle with the level 2 nipple for the formula.

Review 2 for Similac - SimplySmart 8 oz Bottles, 2-Pack, BPA-Free

By an anonymous customer

As much as I really liked these bottles, the nipples especially, all four of them cracked when they dropped! I was really disappointed with how easy it was to break them. I would have recommended them if it weren't for this. Because let's face it, it will be probably drop at some point if not by the parents then by the baby themselves. I have dropped many of my daughter's other bottles without them breaking.

My daughter is a nursing Mom and was having a hard time finding the right nipples for her daughter. She tried several and this is the only style she took to right away.

Not quite sure why these got good reviews, because these bottles are garbage. I am a first time mom of a 1 month old so I wasnt aware of all the different types of bottles and flows out there. I got one of these for free in a sample pack and just went with it. I couldnt understand why the formula gets everywhere. My poor daughter gets half of the bottle of milk on her chest and neck, totally soaking the collar area of all her outfits, even with a bib. Its a disgusting mess everytime. I went and purchased the "slow flow" nipples (thinking that was the problem), same thing. The cap also is easy to screw on wrong, and even when screwed on correct the milk leaks from the cap as well. The stirrer is useless. I purchased a set of Avent and problem solved, no leaking. Similac, please just stick to making formula!

Review 5 for Similac - SimplySmart 8 oz Bottles, 2-Pack, BPA-Free
Knowing that every baby is different and has different preferences I bought several different bottles from several different brands. This one was among them. I like that it has a formula mixer inside the bottle, several bottles I've tested do not have this feature and I think they need it.
That was the end of the positive with this bottle. When I shook it the formula it leaked into the cap and after a while it leaked outside of the bottle. Since I use bottles while traveling this was a big thumbs down because I have a very nice and expensive diaper bag and I didn't want it smelling like spoiled milk right away. This wouldn't be an issue if there was a sealing disc included or offered as an accessory.

I bought this bottle after trying evenflo and avent bottle with no success. The avent bottle leak a lot and the evenflo ones caused her to suck in a lot of extra air. The similac bottle are awesome! The built in stirrer for the powder formula is great, it breaks up the formula well making it free of clumps and does reduce the amount of air bubbles in her formula. The wide nipple is a lot like the real thing which makes it easy to go from breast to bottle and makes a more natural latch causing her to take in less air. The bottle is also very easy for parents to hold while feeding and very comfortable. I would recommend these bottles to anyone who goes from breast to bottle as well as anyone looking for a bottle to reduce air intake during feedings.

Review 9 for Similac - SimplySmart 8 oz Bottles, 2-Pack, BPA-Free
The plastic lids do not stay on and the nipple rings leak at times. I love the idea of the travel lid that contains formula, but the entire bottle design is very large in comparison to other bottles of the same ounce measurement. I do like the smart stir that is contained in the bottle.

I have both the 4oz bottles and 8oz and have been using them for over a month now with my newborn. They mix the formula really well I never have clumps or clogs in the nipple. One time I did have the bottle leaking all over my son but what I didnt realize was where the little vent was on the nipple it had popped out a little from the inside so I popped it back in and it stopped leaking. I do wish they would make the brown latex nipples for these bottles like Playtex drop ins has for their bottles.

My daughter loves these bottles! Once we tried these, she won't use anything else. She doesn't get gassy with them like she does with all the other brands we've tried. Well worth the money!

We were using Dr Brown 4oz Bottles given as a gift and they were ok but i absolutely hated cleaning all of those parts with that tiny brush. ugh! when it came time to shop for bigger 8oz bottles i steered away from dr. browns and tried the similac. They are such an excellent value and i was able to use the bottle coupons mailed from similac. our baby loves them and does very well with them and they are easier to clean. Has me singing Hallelujah from the mountain tops. I agree with some others that the 8oz bottles should come with stage 2 nipples and not the stage 1.

Love The Bottle - Hate The Cap

We were using Avent bottles but our son is so fussy and gassy we decided to try out these since we had a coupon for them and we have been using them for a week now and they have made a huge difference. These bottles really helped lessen the air intake and reduce the gas bubbles. I love the shape of them too, they are really easy to hold. And of course my favorite part is they are very cheap. The only bad thing I would say is out of the 3 bottles we currently have NONE of the blue caps stay on well at all. They arent really a necessity to have but it is nice when you have to throw them in the diaper bag to protect the nipple. If the caps stayed on better I would have given it 5 stars.

These are the bottles my OB/GYN gave to me. How much more proof do you need to know that they are the best? I was worried because so many people told me not to start my baby on the bottle until he was at least 2 months old because it would cause confusion and the baby wouldn't drink from my breast anymore. But at 1 month old, I had no choice because I am a working mom and I had to leave my baby at times but I still wanted him to drink breast milk. My son has had no trouble drinking from both my breast and these bottles.

My daughter had a hard time transitioning from breast to bottle and back, but, she had no problem with this bottle. The awesome coupons online and from Similac in the mail made stocking up on these a no brainer. I have no complaints.

These bottles are good but are not durable. DO NOT BOIL THEM and only wash on top rack of dishwasher. After a while, these bottles have developed tiny cracks in them and the nipples collapse after only a few uses

FANTASTIC bottle to choose and use!!!

I got one of these bottles at my baby shower. I also got some other bottles. Needless to say, the Similac bottle was the winner hands down! Only a couple pieces to clean, love the blue numbers and markings, mixing wand mixes formula quickly and easily, and I have never had a leak!
With twins you use many bottles, and we love these ones! Now that the babies are bigger, the bottle is easy for them to hold as well!
Only downfall on marketing is I wish that you could could choose which size nipple you need when buying the 8 oz. size. We are using level 2 nipples, but bottles only sold with level 1 size, so I feel like it is a waste that I have brand new level 1 that won't be used. Other than this minor issue, I love the bottle!
Tips for others- -When mixing shake side to side and up and down while holding finger over nipple top. -Pull nipple into ring and look to make sure it is all laying flush on the ring inside, once in a while you have to readjust it, but no big deal! -Have the venting 'v' lay under babies nose for best venting! :)
Don't hesitate to buy these, they are terrific!!!
