We recently invited our Mum Central mothers of babies with colic to apply for our Closer to Nature advanced comfort product review.
Especially designed to relieve colicky babies, our aim was to help them find a solution to the everyday struggle of pain, crying and wind with their new vented bottles designed to reduce air ingestation which may cause colic.
In case you weren’t aware, the new advanced comfort™ range from Closer to Nature has been developed especially for colicky babies by helping reduce air bubbles in the milk and encouraging a good latch-on to help reduce the risk of baby ingesting air during feeding. The air vents go down through the tube and into the air-space at the base of the BPA-free bottle, completely bypassing the milk.
How so?
- Unique tube and value system to provide optimum vending during feeding
- Unique, easy-latch-on teat shape that promotes continuous feeding
- Soft, natural-feel silicone teat to make it easier to switch between breast and bottle
- Easy-hold bottle with slow-flow teat
- Bottle compatible only with Closer to Nature advanced comfort™ teats (not Closer to Nature Easi-Vent teats
So we sent each of them a pack of bottles, to try and tell us what they thought. This is what they had to say:
VERDICT #1 – MEET MICHELLE
Her 7 week old baby was struggling with really bad colic and she’d tried everything. Gripe water, Infants Friend, Gaviscon Infant, Formula Thickeners, Mylanta and Prescription Medications without success. She tried the Closer to Nature advanced comfort bottles and was thrilled with the results.
So what did she have to say?
“I used these bottles with my fourth baby after battling colic with three others with little relief from many other remedies and oral mixtures. The improvement was amazing! The amount of wind and speed it came up in without hours of crying improved greatly. Highly recommend. Thank you for saving my sanity!!”
VERDICT #2 – MEET BONNIE
As a first-time mum, she and her husband were at their wits end with the colic from their 3 week old boy. They’d never experienced a colicky baby before and felt helpless as their baby screamed in pain, night after night. She’d tried Brauer’s Colic Relief and Infant’s Friend with no improvement.
So what did she have to say?
“I noticed such a difference with my baby after using these bottles, I finally had a happy settled baby. They are honestly amazing, thank you so very much. Keep up the great work, I will be recommending these bottles to all my mummy friends.”
VERDICT #3 – MEET GABRIELLE
She was trying to mix feed (all breast milk) her 6 week old baby although lately she has been getting bad wind that makes her scream for long periods of time. As it turns out, only her dad seemed to be able to bring up the wind which makes it very difficult when dad’s at work.
So what did she have to say?
“These bottles helped my little girl with her wind. She was able to bring it up easily when she did get wind and it reduced the amount of wind she did get. It was really easy to go between breast and bottle.”

To prevent my baby from severe colic, I have been giving him Babies magic tea 3 to 4 times a day along with drinking myself to pass it through my breast milk and within two days, he was getting much better. After one week he was completely fine and there were no colic crying.
