The Bottle Battle That Nearly Drove Me Crazy

The Bottle Battle That Nearly Drove Me Crazy—Until One Brand Saved My Sanity

After figuring out breast pumps, Amanda thought she was done with the hard stuff.

But then came bottles.

And wow—nothing prepared her for the bottle battle.

“I thought I could just grab a few and be done,” she said.
“But my baby had other plans.”

The Rejection Begins

She started with a trusted name: Dr. Brown’s.

Everyone raved about them.

But her baby?

Total refusal.

“He would scream like I gave him hot sauce,” Amanda laughed.
“It was heartbreaking and confusing.”

Next Up: Comotomo

These bottles were soft and squishy—made to feel like a breast.

“They looked perfect,” Amanda said.
“And they were easy to clean.”

Her baby liked them… for a few days.
Then the fussing came back.

Trying Everything

Amanda tried everything from Philips Avent to Tommee Tippee.

Wide necks, narrow necks, slow flow, fast flow—nothing worked for long.

“I had a full shelf of bottles.
It looked like a baby bottle store in my kitchen,” she said.

The stress?
Real.

“My baby wouldn’t eat unless it was me. I was exhausted.”

The Unexpected Hero

Then, out of pure desperation, Amanda tried a brand she almost ignored: MAM.

“I grabbed it on a grocery run, barely thinking,” she said.

But something clicked.

Her baby latched. No fuss. No tears.

Just peace.

“I almost cried right there in the kitchen,” Amanda said.
“One bottle, and it changed everything.”

What Made MAM Work?

Amanda thinks it was the nipple shape.
It’s flat and soft—kind of like a real nipple.

Plus, the vented base helped with gas.
No more colic nights.

It was also easy to take apart and clean.
And bonus—it sterilizes itself in the microwave.

From Chaos to Calm

Amanda shared her story online again.
Thousands of moms messaged her.

They had been through the same bottle struggle.
Many had also found luck with MAM.
