With both of my daughters, I was able to breastfeed them for around 6 months. Upon my return to work, I was able to pump enough breastmilk to last a few more months, but I was very concerned about bottle feeding. I searched for a bottle that would feel most like Mom but also had a stellar venting system as my little one suffered from a reflux disorder. Our bottle days are now over (bittersweet, right?) but I would have loved to try out the new Similac SimplySmart Bottle system!
With 85 years of infant feeding expertise, Similac enlisted the help of over 2,500 Moms to design a bottle that addresses feeding challenges including leaks, bubbles and fussiness and gas. The result? SimplySmart!
- Nipple: The naturally shaped nipple is designed to be more like mom for feeding between breast and bottle.
- Intellivent: This exclusive venting system is designed to minimize baby’s air intake for less fussiness and gas.
- SmartClose: Found only in Similac SimplySmart, the SmartClose reveals a blue shield when the top is secured to prevent leaks and assure the bottle is closed.
- EasyMix: This innovative mixing device is only found in Similac SimplySmart and is designed to help reduce bubbles and clumps.
- Similac On-the-Go Powder Cap: A unique cap keeps powder and bottle together and holds enough powder formula for up to one 8-ounce bottle to help busy moms on the go. Cap sold separately.
These new BPA free bottles are available at Walmart in 4- and 8-ounce sizes with variable flow rate nipples (that was essential with my reflux babies).

For Moms that want to breast feed as well as pump and feed from a bottle, The naturally shaped nipple designed to be more like mom will make that transition easier.
I love the easy mix and the cap that holds formula on the go! So convenient.

I love that the nipple shape is like a mothers breast and makes it easier to go from breast to bottle.
I would love to win this for my niece who is due to have twins soon. She plans to breastfeed but will also use bottles so others can give her a helping hand when needed.

I love that it reduces fussiness! Of course, my baby due in 28 days won’t have any of that 😉
I really love the specially designed nipple. I don’t intend to exclusively bottle feed, so it is important that the nipple on our bottles be designed in a way the it won’t disturb babies feeding.

My favorite feature is Intellivent: This exclusive venting system is designed to minimize baby’s air intake for less fussiness and gas. This would have been wonderful for my first baby. She was so prone to gas and it made life miserable for both of us.
