The designers of the compellingly sleek (and undeniably boob-like) Adiri Baby Bottle make no bones about taking their design inspiration from the human form. And this makes perfect sense really when it comes to an eco-friendly baby bottle. If ‘breast is best’ – as most people will tell you these days – then surely a baby bottle based on the shape and ergonomics of the human breast would be the next best thing when bottle supplementation is required. Not only do nipples shaped like Mom’s breast help avoid nipple confusion but they make it easier for baby to adjust to bottle feeding.
Designed with the help of doctors, moms and lactation consultants, the Adiri Natural Nurser is soft, breast-like and made from safe and non-toxic polycarbonate-free, bisphenol-A free materials. There’s no denying that for design aficionado moms, the Adiri is certainly the best looking baby bottle on the market. But do babies agrees that chic and boob-like is the way to go?
Sounds like the jury is still out. I have several new-mom friends who swear by the Adiri, and know an equal number of people who are not convinced. Online reviews seem equally mixed.
Being that I’m drawn towards sleek design like a moth to a light, I couldn’t help purchasing an Adiri for my little bun, even though he’s not yet popped out of the oven. I love the aesthetics and the concept behind the design of the Adiri bottle, but only time will tell if this is the right bottle for my little one. I’d love to hear your thoughts on the Adiri , so if you’ve tried it out and have an opinion, please comment below!

We loved using adiris for my son and we hope to use them again when we have another baby. There are definitely small annoyances- when you fill the bottle upside-down, sometimes when you turn it over milk leaks a little even though you have the cover on; the ounce measurements run from bottom to top so to see how much your baby has had so far you have to turn the bottle upside-down; you have to make sure the top is on really tight otherwise milk can spill when you turn it right-side up; you can’t heat milk by submersing the bottle in water because it makes the valve leak.
That being said I liked that the bottles are BPA free and that they mimic nursing the most out of any bottle I’ve seen. Also, they look really cool.
We have this but quickly stopped using it. It leaks constantly, and the moment our son was able to, he used it to spray milk around him (~13 months). Buyer beware.
UPDATE: Since I’ve written this article I’ve had my baby, and for reasons I don’t want to go into too much depth on, I already have to do some bottle supplementation for my newborn. I’ve been using an Adiri bottle because I want to avoid nipple confusuion and I like the fact that it is more like the breast than any other bottle I’ve found. My baby seems to like it too! He has to work a bit harder to get milk out of it than with other bottles, but I think that is a good thing. Short story: so far I’m happy with the Adiri bottle…
