🍼 Amazon’s Top 10 Most-Wished-For Baby Feeding Products: From Garbage to Genius

Shopping for baby gear on Amazon at 2 a.m. feels like the wild west. Every product has 40,000 reviews, a “#1 Best Seller” badge, and claims to change your life. But here’s the truth: some of these gadgets are brilliant…and some are total garbage.

As an IBCLC (International Board Certified Lactation Consultant) and nurse, I’ve seen it all—from products that actually make feeding easier to gimmicks that end up shoved in the closet. So let’s break down Amazon’s Top 10 Most-Wished-For Baby Feeding Products—and I’ll give you my unfiltered commentary on whether they’re worth your money.

1. Dr. Brown’s Anti-Colic Bottles (4 oz, 4-pack)

⭐ 48,067 reviews | 4.7 stars | $24.99

The hype: Parents rave about these bottles for reducing gas and spit-up, thanks to their famous venting system.

My take: They do help with colic—but they’re a pain to clean with all those tiny parts. Personally, I prefer the evenflo balance bottle It’s simpler, easier to wash, and still gentle on baby’s tummy.

Verdict: Good, but not my top choice.

2. Philips Avent Natural Glass Bottles (4 oz, 4-pack)

⭐ 7,580 reviews | 4.6 stars | $39.95

The hype: “Natural” nipples that mimic breastfeeding.

My take: Nope. These are some of the worst bottles for breastfed babies. The nipple shape doesn’t actually support a deep latch, and they’re notorious for flow confusion. Instead, get the Pigeon Glass Bottles—IBCLC-approved and truly designed with latch in mind.

Verdict: Skip these.

3. Lansinoh Breastmilk Storage Bags (100 count)

⭐ 99,402 reviews | 4.7 stars | $11.89

The hype: Strong, leak-resistant, freezer-safe storage bags for pumping parents.

My take: I used these myself and they worked fine. The little freezer “book” box they come with is genius—it keeps bags flat and organized.

Verdict: Solid, practical, not glamorous—but you’ll use them constantly. But remember you DO NOT NEED A MASSIVE FREEZER STASH. I will die on this hill!

4. Comfy Cubs Muslin Burp Cloths (10-pack)

⭐ 40,809 reviews | 4.8 stars | $19.99

The hype: Soft, oversized muslin burp cloths that soak up everything.

My take: These are legit. My sister swore by them for her “massive puker.” Bonus: I also love [muslin bibs]—same material, but save your laundry pile by catching spit before it hits your shirt.

Verdict: Affordable lifesaver.

5. Lansinoh Disposable Nursing Pads (200 count)

⭐ 53,981 reviews | 4.8 stars | $13.89

The hype: Super absorbent disposable pads that keep you dry.

My take: They work, but honestly? They feel like maxi pads for your nipples. Not the vibe. I prefer [Bamboobies Reusable Pads]—softer, cheaper long-term, and eco-friendly I also really like their overnight ones if you are a heavy leaker.

Verdict: Fine in a pinch, but reusables win.

6. Boppy Original Nursing Pillow

⭐ 36,326 reviews | 4.8 stars | $30–40

The hype: A comfy, U-shaped pillow for nursing and bottle feeding.

My take: I only like the Boppy for tummy time. For breastfeeding, it doesn’t provide enough stability and babies slip down into awkward positions. If you really want a breastfeeding pillow, get the [My Brest Friend Pillow]—way more supportive.

Verdict: Overrated for nursing, but fine for baby play.

7. Earth Mama Organic Nipple Butter (2 oz)

⭐ 61,093 reviews | 4.7 stars | $13.97

The hype: A lanolin-free balm for sore nipples.

My take: It’s safe and smells nice. But honestly? Plain coconut oil might work just as well—and you probably already have some in your pantry.

Verdict: Cute gift, not essential.

8. Philips Avent Natural Bottles (9 oz, 4-pack)

⭐ 20,454 reviews | 4.8 stars | $29.95

The hype: A “natural response” nipple for older babies.

My take: Again with these bottles. They’re some of the most hated by IBCLCs. The nipple shape just doesn’t support proper feeding mechanics. Stick with Evenflo Balance+ from #2.

Verdict: Hard pass.

9. Momcozy KleanPal Pro Bottle Washer & Sterilizer

⭐ 1,943 reviews | 4.5 stars | $299.99

The hype: A high-tech, all-in-one cleaning machine for bottles and pump parts.

My take: Honestly? If you’re an exclusive pumper and have the counter space, this could be amazing. But it’s $300. Spend your money on a good pump and an IBCLC consult first—then consider the fancy washer if you still want it.

Verdict: Luxury, not a need.

10. Momcozy M5 Hands-Free Pump (2-pack)

⭐ 3,862 reviews | 4.3 stars | $169.99

The hype: Portable, discreet, wearable breast pump.

My take: Sleek design, but many parents struggle with poor fit, which leads to pain and low output. You’ll get way more bang for your buck with the [BabyBuddha Pump] - the newest is more gentle or Pumpables Genie Advanced plus collection cups for discretion. Check out my good friend Kristen from @bemybreastfriend for reviews.

Verdict: Better options out there. I have had alot of moms really loving the Eufy lately.

🤔 Why So Many “Popular” Baby Products Miss the Mark

Ever wonder why so many products with thousands of reviews still…kinda suck? A few reasons:

• Marketing > function. Companies know how to play on parental anxiety.
• Registry hype. If it’s on every list, people assume it’s a must-have.
• Confusing symptoms. Just like thrush is blamed for every nipple pain, certain bottles or creams get hyped as universal solutions when they’re not.

🧑‍⚕️ How to Choose Baby Feeding Products That Actually Work

Instead of relying on Amazon’s “Most Wished For” list, here’s how to shop smarter:

• Ask an IBCLC before buying pumps, bottles, or nipple creams.
• Look for baby-led latch design in bottles (like Pigeon or Evenflo Balance+)
• Invest in reusables when it comes to pads, cloths, and storage
• Skip duplicates. You don’t need 3 different pillows, just 1 good one
• Save splurges (like the bottle washer) for after you know your feeding setup
• Invest in support before supplies!! Amazon will be there tommorow but that fabulous IBCLC that could shift it all - you better book her now!

❓ FAQs About Baby Feeding Products

Q: Do I need multiple bottle brands?
Not usually. Stick with 1–2 good designs that support latch.

Q: Are “colic bottles” really necessary?
Sometimes—but often the real solution is fixing latch and flow, not the bottle.

Q: Should I stock up on nursing pads?
Yes, but choose reusable if possible. Disposables are great for travel or emergencies. Also some moms don't leak much so were you land before buying a ton!

Q: Is a nursing pillow worth it?
Yes, but choose wisely—My Brest Friend is far more supportive than Boppy. In all honesty I find no pillow works best - check out my FREE LATCHING GUIDE for how to work on that.

🙋‍♀️ Final Thoughts: Genius vs. Garbage

Amazon’s Most-Wished-For list might be popular, but not everything on it deserves a spot in your cart. Some products are genius. Some are meh. And some (looking at you, Avent bottles) are straight-up garbage.

The good news? You don’t have to waste money. Focus on products that actually make feeding easier and more comfortable—and skip the rest.
