A great find
I was really pleased with this bottle! We had primarily been using Philips brand, but gave this a try and I really liked it. My son took to the nipple easily, and I did not notice any excess gas or discomfort after feeds. The bottle was of great quality, and the temperature indicator is a wonderful bonus! I did test it out of my skin the first few times to compare and it was very accurate. The bottle is of great quality and I will purchase more of these!

Must try temperature indicator is neat
The temperature indicator is what makes the bottle special. Never have tried anything like this and it works. The nipple is similar to other nipples, little girl did not get confused from switching from the breast.
Super easy to assemble

Love the temperature indicator
The overall design of the bottle is nice. I like the wider necked bottles. They are easier for transferring liquids or dropping scoops of formula. The design makes the bottle easy to clean. It saves you a little time by having less parts than other brands. My 1 month old baby took the bottle right away. He hasn't struggled going back and forth between breast and bottle. I really like the temperature indicator. Ive seen this feature in milk saver bags but not bottles. It offers a little reassurance that your child wont get burned by overheated milk.

Leaked for us
First off, I received a 3 pack of NUK Simply Natural Bottle with SafeTemp from Stellar Product Testing Panel in exchange for an honest review.
I think I tried a bottle very similar to this, also by NUK a while ago and I had the same issue this time as last time. The air release valve on the side of the nipple leaked very badly for us. It was a little better if I made an effort to align the air release valve pointing upwards but it was still very leaky. This was the number one issue for us.
The temperature indication on the side is handy but we don't usually heat baby's milk up that much (just a little warmer than the refrigerator) so this isn't something we really worry about. However, I can see it being very useful for others that get the milk quite warm.
Regarding the number of pieces, it is nice to not have too many pieces to clean, but I felt like that convenience was greatly outweighed by the fact that this leaked constantly during feeding.

Great features but my little one did not like it
Our boy is 8 weeks old and is a big eater. He's exclusively eating breastmilk, so bottles are vital for me to get some time to run errands or go into the office and leave him with Dad or Grandma. We bottle feed several times a day in addition to breastfeeding. I was excited when I received the NUK Simply Natural Bottle with SafeTemp set from the Stellar Product Testing Panel because it's super easy to put together and the nipple seems like it would be a natural transition. To date we haven't had issues with our LO taking a bottle. However, when we tried the NUK, our little one really struggled with it. We were using a size 2 nipple, which i've used with other bottles before. It seemed like with this one the milk was flowing too fast, but ultimately he just couldn't get a good latch on this bottle. I won't be using it again. There were some great features to the NUK. It's easy to put together! Other bottles i've used have so many parts, it can be burdensome. This leads itself to my favorite feature, it's really easy to clean! Not only is it easy because of how few parts there were, but the material and size of the nipple and bottle make it really easy to wash. My husband and I both liked the width of the bottle and grip area because they made the bottle really comfortable to hold while bottle feeding. Lastly, the SafeTemp feature gave me major peace of mind and worked great! I tested it with a range of temperatures. Overall, I have some friends i've recommended this bottle to because of the features but I won't be using it four our baby.

Impressed
I received this product through Stellar Product Testing Panel. My first impression was the quality of these bottles and how few parts there were. I was able to put them in the dishwasher without having to worry about losing any pieces. The wide necked bottle is also fantastic when pouring in breast milk to avoid spilling the liquid gold. The temperature indicator is a nice feature but I still check the temperature before giving it to my baby. Overall, I really like these bottles and will continue to use them over the current bottles I have.

Easy to use
I received this product as part of stellar product testing in exchange for an honest review. The bottle itself is super easy to use and clean. Lately my baby has been only wanting my boob but he did take this bottle which gave me some relief haha I really loved the quality of the bottle it self the only thing I was a huge fan of is that the flow of the nipple was pretty quick it does say ages 1month+ but my baby is 3 months and was still too fast for him so I’d recommend if your baby is a little older.

Mama Approved
From the start I loved these bottles after receiving them from Stellar Product Testing Panel. They have less parts to clean and they have the built in safe temp reading so you have one more layer of protection to prevent burning baby. The nipple is great and the flow was just right. Baby nurses and is also bottle fed breast milk. He took to the bottle right away without any aversion. There were not tummy issues such as gas or hiccups like we have had in the past with other bottles.
I would definitely recommend this bottle for formula or breast milk fed babies!

Nuk Simply Natural Bottle
My son absolutely loves these bottles! When we received the Nuk Bottles from stellar product panel I was very excited to try them. They are high quality and super easy to clean and put together. I am breastfeeding mom and when I gave him this bottle for the first time he drank from it so easily. The nipple on the bottle is designed just like mom’s nipple so it is easy for the child to drink from it. Then I do not have to worry about nipple confusion and I feel confident breastfeeding and bottle feeding. The other thing that I really like about the bottle it is the temperature indicator that shows if the milk is too hot. That is a great feature when warming up a bottle and giving it to your child. It makes me feel comfortable giving it to him at the right temperature. I highly recommend these bottles. There was nothing that I didn’t like about them. They were a perfect fit for my child.

Great overall design
I received the Nuk Simply Natural Bottle with Safe Temp from the Stellar Product testing panel. We were very excited to try this bottle because of the simplistic and efficient design! The bottle is so easy to clean and put together. Having fewer pieces is so nice, and much more efficient. The bottle shape makes it easy to hold and for our son to attempt to hold. The safe temp bar is a nice addition, but we still feel more comfortable testing the temp ourselves. While the design of the nipple is definitely more natural, the flow is not. My son had a hard time regulating it and was often times having milk leaking out of his mouth. A slower flow would be ideal for babies that are also bottle fed. Over a good bottle.

Solid bottle
Thank you to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for the bottle to test out.
The bottle itself is a solid plastic BPA free bottle with a much thicker feel compared to other baby bottles (that can’t be squeezed), but does have indentations making it easy for baby to hold and has easy to read measurements on it. It is also an easy to clean and sterilize as well.
The nipple is much different from other bottles and could see how it could be helpful for babies transitioning from breast to bottle, however my 13 month old knew the difference from her usual bottle and would not drink from this bottle. We tried several times, but after using the same type of bottles for over a year, it was too difficult of a switch for us. That being said, I would recommend trying this bottle out if you are in the market for a new bottle.

Simple but effective for feeding
First of all, thank you Stellar Testing Panel for providing these baby bottles to test out.
We've been struggling with getting our now 4 month old to take a bottle and I was anxiety ridden before returning to work from maternity leave. We've tried all sorts of brands and bottles. We even visited a lactation consultant to get some help!
One other disclaimer I have is that my husband had to feed the baby because our baby wouldn't take the bottle with me in the room so he did give a lot of input on the actual feeding portion of this review.
Pros:
- There are only three pieces to the bottle itself (4 if you count the lid). Wow. Can I saw this makes it terribly easy to clean? When you have limited time and energy to clean pump parts and bottles, having less pieces to clean is amazing. And because there are such few pieces, it is VERY easy to assemble.
- The temperature indicator on the side of the bottle turns white if the milk is too hot, this is a simple reminder and indicator to help parents know that the milk is not at a safe temperature. On the flip side, we didn't regularly check the temperature indicator because other bottles don't have this available. So honestly, we didn't pay too much attention to this but it is a nice additional feature.
- Another major pro was the anti-colic feature. I'm not sure how its anti-colic with such few pieces but my baby suffered reflux and colic since he was a newborn. We've been using this bottle for the last week to test it out and he's had no issues!
Cons:
- Orthodontic nipple (has more of a curved shape). I think this is honestly a personal preference for babies. Most other brands and pacifiers we tried did not have orthodontic nipples but rather the round nipples and my baby did seem to enjoy the round nipples more, meaning he would take the bottles that had the round nipples more easily. Also, according to the lactation specialist, there isn't real orthodontic benefit to these nipples.
- Flow of the nipple (indicated for 1+ month and older) seemed fast at first and milk would spill out of the bottle. We weren't prepared for this and lost some milk initially and was worried our baby would choke because the flow was too fast. However, when we actually fed our baby, he seemed to drink the milk just fine without choking so in the end the flow was appropriate for his age. AND as I mentioned earlier, he didn't get much reflux or colic, meaning he didn't ingest much air!
I rate this 4 out of 5 starts because in the end the baby did take the bottle for this week but just has a stronger preference for bottles with round shaped nipples.

Good for breastfed babies
Okay, this NUK bottle is awesome! My breastfed baby has been pretty selective with bottles, but he took this one like a champ. With only 2 parts (or 3 if you take the nipple out) It’s super easy to clean with a bottle brush, or just toss in the dishwasher. And the temperature indicator is sooo helpful!! We usually use a thermometer to check our baby’s bottle, so this is a game changer on knowing if it’s too hot, or good to go. (The photo with water shows the temp indicator is clear, meaning it’s too hot.)
The only downside is that it does leak a bit when turned upside down… but don’t all bottles? Not a deal breaker for us.
I was given this baby bottle set to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel, but I would purchase them again with my own money!

Wide mouth
I received the NUK Simply Natural Bottle from Stellar Product Testing Panel to test and review. I really enjoyed the nice wide mouth of the bottle that lended itself to easy cleaning. Only three pieces that were all wide and with little nooks and crannies to have to clean was a great plus. I got to use the heat strip which works great, it’s a little subtle but it does change from blue to white when it gets hot. I like the shape of the nipple because it feels natural except that I don’t love nipples that can’t be used from all directions(or have a right side up) cuz my 10mo has no clue what to do when he gets it the wrong way. It also leaks out of the tip pretty badly so any drop or turning it upside down sprays milk all over. I like it on most aspects just has a couple downsides.

NUK Simply Natural Bottle with SafeTemp
I was given this baby bottle set to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel and I was very happy with them from the moment I opened the package. I love how durable the bottle felt. It does not feel like a flimsy plastic like some of the other bottles out there. I love how the bottle is easy to put together and only has 3 parts to it. An even bigger bonus for me is that the bottles are dishwasher safe. As a mom of 3, I like very simple and easy products to use and clean. I like that the neck of the nipple is wide, which is seemed to work very well for my exclusively breastfed 1 month old. My 1 month old daughter took the bottle really well and seemed to really like it.
The only “con” I have is, I did not like the temperature indicator. I do not think it works very well. The color does not show up as well as I thought it would making it hard to use that feature. I added pictures of the bottles, one empty (left), one with cold water (middle) and hot water (right), and you can see the difference in color, if you look closely. I definitely would not use these bottles for that feature but it does not deter me from using these bottles.
Thank you to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this baby bottle set. These will be the bottles I use for my baby from now on.

Not my favorite
I was given this baby bottle set to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. The design of this bottle is esthetically pleasing; it's easy for my 10 month old to hold and I like that the numbers are easy to see. I have used other bottles that have multiple parts to wash, but these are easy to clean and doesn't take a long time. I received the medium flow nipple so my son drank it a little too fast for my liking (I breastfeed when I'm home with him so I want to maintain pace feeding when using a bottle.) The nipple inverted a few times while he was drinking so you have to stop to pull it back out. He didn't seem to have any gas issues while using the bottle. The temperature indicator is supposed to turn white when the milk is too hot. However, it takes a long time for the color to change. I also think that the color change is difficult to see as the original color is kind if a lighter blue. When I tested it before using, the water was very hot, definitely too hot for baby to drink. It took about 5 minutes before it changed color. Water that wasn't as hot, but still too hot for baby, didn't turn the color indicator white at all. Overall, the bottle looks nice and is easy to wash, but I wouldn't recommend them to a friend.

Overall good bottle
I have mostly positive things to say about this bottle with just a couple of things I’d change! For positives- I really appreciate how few pieces there are. It’s simple to put together and easy to clean! I also like the shape of the nipple and how how it mimics breastfeeding as you can see in my picture! I feel like it is easy for my baby to empty all the milk, which is not always the case with some of the other bottles we’ve tried! I really like that the vent is in the nipple, but wish it would indicate somewhere on the nipple if the vent should go up or down. I also didn’t find the temperature indicator very helpful. Overall I’m happy to have the bottle and will continue to use! Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this baby bottle set!

My breastfed baby loves this bottle
I was given this baby bottle set to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel and I’ll give you the pro’s first. Number one, and most importantly, my strictly breastfed 6 month old will happily take this bottle and finish it with ease. No excess burps, no latch issues, no fuss! She acted as if she’s always been bottle-fed. Secondly, this bottle is so easy to disassemble, wash, and reassemble. It’s a win in my books! There is a temperature indicator on the bottles but in my opinion, it isn’t useful. I put very hot water from my faucet in the bottle to test it, and it took about a minute for the line to turn obviously yellow. I think if it were a more immediate response it would be helpful but if it takes too long, you might not notice the line switch from blue to yellow. Lastly, if these bottles were made of glass, they would check all of my boxes. Nevertheless, we will continue using this bottle set!

Baby bottle
I was recently given the NUK Simply Natural baby bottle set to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. Currently, my baby is 3 months old. Since she is our fourth, I’ve tried quite a few bottles over the years! They have all been very picky about taking a bottle, which can be very frustrating. I stay at home with my kids, so I haven’t had a daily need for bottles. However, it is nice and convenient when she can take a bottle so I can get out of the house on my own for more than a couple hours!
While I like the design of the bottle, my baby hasn’t drank very well from it. The nipple was nice and flexible, which I think it more realistic than some of the other baby bottle nipples. However, I wonder if it’s the different shape of the nipple that she doesn’t like. The bottle is kind of flat, and the top is more rounded. I also felt it was a little confusing to know which side was up, so my husband never could remember if he was feeding it to her the right way!
Other than that, the design of the bottle was well thought out. It has a temperature indicator on the side, which I think would be very useful when warming up the bottle.

Ok set
We were sent the NUK Simply Natural Bottle set with Safetemp via Stellar Product Testing Panel to provide honest feedback on the set. My son is a mix of breastfed and bottle fed at night with hubby's help. We found the set to just be OK. We like the bottle itself. Love the Safetemp feature and the fact there are minimum components to clean. The nipple itself is not for my son. Originally it took a while for him to adjust/ "latch" to the bottle nipple. It's different than the other set he uses. Also my son is a fast drinker. I didn't like the multiple openings. We found we had to take extra breaks to slow him down. Maybe we'll go back to the nipple when he's a little older but will continue using the bottle portion.

Easy to Clean
I have a 4-month-old who is breastfed/takes bottles at daycare and before bed. He had only used one other brand of bottles before trying out the NUK Simply Natural Bottle with SafeTemp.
PROS. The best part about this bottle is that it only has three pieces to clean versus five. Honestly, this is a game-changer. It has a wide opening, so it really is easy to clean. I don't know if the shape of the nipple really makes a difference, as he took both types of nipples without a problem. Although the cap to the bottle is a little hard to put on, it also doesn't accidentally fall off (which is a problem with the other bottles, causing milk to be spilled). Lastly, my LC was very happy to hear that we tried these bottles, so it must be good.
CONS. I looked on the box and website to determine which side goes up. Is it the side with the air vent? Perhaps this should be clearly marked. Also, when feeding in the dark, it would be helpful to have it easily marked so that we are not stuck twisting the bottle around trying to figure it out. Lastly, the temperature indicator is a cool concept; however, my son prefers his milk VERY warm, so we did not use the indicator.

Safe temp Bottle
I really love giving good reviews but unfortunately my son did not like this bottle. He was primarily breastfed for the first 4 months and gradually began using bottles which he had no issues taking. For some reason, this bottle he does not like. When I use this bottle, I end up having to switch bottles. It may be the shape of the nipple which does not mimic the true shape of a woman’s nipple. I do love the pros of this bottle which were the anti-colic air vent, the built-in safe temp indicator and the multiple holes which provide a more natural feel for the baby. It was easy to clean. This would be a great bottle for non-breast-fed babies in my option. I received this product to test from the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

Nuk Simply Natural
I received this bottle from Stellar Product Testing Panel. I really like the slender design in that one part of the bottle isn’t bulging or slimmer than another part, it’s all the same consistency from top to bottom. I do like the temperature indicator, turns out, I’ve been using slightly too warm of formula, so that’s really helpful. I like how the bottle nipple has multiple holes, like the breast, but they do drip like any other bottle. It’d be nice if milk only came out of the holes when baby sucked so they can have better flow control. I did find the 1m+ to be too fast of a flow for my mostly breastfed baby, maybe the 0m+ would be better starting out. However, he did enjoy the bottle! I was surprised! Having tried several, he actually ate almost 2oz for the first time with it. He gnawed on part of it, similar to what he does on the breast, so I think it felt familiar to him. His latch was great! His lips weren’t pursed as if drinking from a straw, he had a nice wide, deep latch. So overall, I think it’s mom and breastfed baby approved!

Loved this feature
I received this product through the Stellar Product Testing Panel. Unfortunately, I only received a nipple flow size 2 so it was a little too fast for my 2 month old. Even so, I loved this bottle! It’s very comfortable to hold and easy to assemble and clean. But my favorite feature was the nipple with multiple holes. When breastfeeding, our milk does not come out in one stream. There are milk duct orifices that can number from 4 to 20 per breast. This nipple mimicked the breast more by providing multiple streams of milk.

LOVE SafeTemp
SafeTemp is a game changer! It gave me peace of mind, especially during those middle of the night feedings when lack of sleep caused brain fog to kick in. I never had to worry that the bottle was too hot for my little one!
As for the bottle itself, the natural shape and multiple drinking holes of the NUK Simply Natural Bottle helped my baby transition from breast to bottle easily. This transition can be hard, but the NUK bottle made it simple - so nice! The wide neck and just three pieces made cleaning a breeze. Love!
Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this baby bottle set.

NUK Simply Natural Bottle with SafeTemp Review
I received this baby bottle set from stellar panel reviews. I’m giving this bottle a solid 3 out of 5 stars. I liked that this bottle was easy to assemble and did not have a lot of parts to wash and put together. I can appreciate how the safe temperature indicator might work for some people, but I personally was not impressed. Yes, the strip was dark when the milk was cold and turned white when the temp warmed up, but nowhere on the box or instructions did it say the parameters of the temperature change. If I was just using the strip, I wouldn’t know if the milk was too hot or not. I also did not like the shape of the nipple. It is supposed to be shaped like a natural nipple, but it did not encourage a natural latch. As someone who is also breast feeding, it felt like this bottle encouraged my baby to only suck on the top of the nipple of the bottle, and not get a deep latch like some other bottles do. Over all, this bottle was adequate, but not something I would buy more of in the future.

Great bottles but
I was given this baby bottle set to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. I loved the bottles they are great! Easy to clean and there’s no hassle because they don’t have that many parts! The only reason I’m giving a 4 start review is because when my baby is using them the nipple gets sucked in (the suction is too strong I guess) and it interrupts his feeding. Other than that I like them!

Good for my guy
I received this bottle to review through the Stellar Product Testing Panel! I was super excited to try it with some expressed breast milk with my ebf baby. He had no issues with the nipple shape and I really liked the convenience of using the temperature gauge on the side! Overall a good easy to use bottle with nice features.

Wonderful and helpful bottles
I actually really loved the feel of these bottles, and it was so easy for my 6 month old to hold them herself. They were super easy to put together, and fewer parts saves so much time cleaning and putting back together.
The nipple had multiple spots where the milk came out, just like my nipple when breastfeeding. My daughter took to these bottles very well! I am always worried about nipple confusion, and there was not any of that with these bottles. She goes from breast to bottle effortlessly.
The temperature indicator was an interesting feature. My husband always tends to get the bottles too warm because he has nerve damage and can't feel the temperature as well. These were so handy because he could tell it was too hot very easily. It was a bit of a learning curve to get used to it though, but once we did, it helps quite a bit!
Thank you to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this baby bottle set. I have already bought some more of these for baby girl!

Love the safetemp feature
I received the NUK Simply Natural Bottle with SafeTemp through the Stellar Product Testing Panel. I actually really liked these bottles.
The safe temp feature is really cool and totally helpful, something I haven’t seen on any other bottles I’ve ever tried. So long are the days of wasting precious drops of liquid gold on having to temp check on my wrist! I like the wide opening, makes it easy to clean! There’s also only 3 parts to clean which is amazing. I like the flow of the nipples too. What I don’t like, however, is the shape of the nipple. My baby wouldn’t take it. It’s the first bottle she used that was shaped like this and it just wasn’t for her. But I wish she did because I really like everything else. Maybe nuk will come out with other nipple shapes for this bottle because if it did, the ease of use and the safe temp feature would definitely make this our go to bottle. But I know every baby is totally different so I would still recommend everyone at least to try this bottle, because if it does work for your baby, it’s amazing. That safe temp feature is so cool.
