Gulicola Baby Bottle with Straw, Weighted Straw Sippy Cup with Review
Our verdict
The Gulicola Baby Bottle with Weighted Straw is a transitional feeding vessel for babies 6 months and up, combining a 9-ounce capacity with a weighted straw that follows liquid as the baby tilts the bottle. At $17.58 for a single unit, the price is moderate, but the 4.1-star rating from only 57 reviews means there is limited owner data to draw on.

The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less.

Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
The Gulicola Baby Bottle with Weighted Straw targets the 6-months-and-up stage, where babies begin exploring upright and self-directed drinking. The weighted straw is the product's defining feature: it attaches to a small weight that rests at the bottom of liquid inside the bottle regardless of the bottle's orientation, so the baby can drink from any angle without tilting their head back. This design is often used in transitional cups to help babies move away from the flat nipple of traditional bottles.
At 9 ounces capacity and 0.21 kilograms in weight, the bottle is sized for older infants who are taking larger volumes per session. The single-unit format at $17.58 is a reasonable price for a specialized transitional bottle, though it is worth comparing with similar straw-cup designs at the same price point. Parents who want multiple units for rotation will need to purchase more than one, which increases the overall investment.
With only 57 reviews at 4.1 stars, this product has a thin owner feedback record. The 4.1-star score is acceptable but not exceptional, and the small sample size means a few negative experiences have an outsized effect on the average. Around 100 purchases per month is a sign of steady interest, but potential buyers should read available reviews carefully before committing.
Pros
- Weighted straw allows drinking at any angle, which suits the self-directed feeding stage at 6 months and up
- 9-ounce capacity works well for older infants taking larger feeds
- Transitional design bridges the gap between traditional bottle nipples and open cups or standard straw cups
- Steady purchase rate of around 100 per month suggests ongoing parent interest
Cons
- Only 57 reviews available, which is too small a sample to draw firm conclusions about long-term performance
- 4.1-star rating is modest and may reflect occasional issues with straw durability or leak resistance
- Single-unit format means parents who need multiple bottles must buy several separately
- Weighted straw adds a moving internal part that can complicate cleaning

Performance notes
The weighted straw mechanism is the key functional element of this bottle, and owner reviews in the available pool touch on how well it moves freely within the liquid and whether it draws cleanly without air pockets. Cleaning a weighted straw assembly typically requires a straw brush or specialized cleaning tool, and this is a factor worth considering for parents who prefer simple, few-part bottle designs. At 9 ounces, the bottle is suitable for most older infant feeds. Leak performance and straw durability are the areas where reviews most commonly differentiate satisfied from dissatisfied buyers.
What buyers say
The 57-review pool is too small for high statistical confidence, and the 4.1-star average suggests that while most buyers are satisfied, a meaningful minority encounter issues. The around-100-per-month purchase rate indicates parents are finding the product and trying it, which is a positive signal. Prospective buyers should treat this as a lower-certainty purchase and read the most recent reviews for patterns on straw performance and leak resistance.

Frequently asked questions
How do you clean the weighted straw inside the Gulicola bottle?
Weighted straw assemblies typically require a thin straw-cleaning brush to reach inside the straw tubing. Most brands recommend disassembling the straw and weight, rinsing each part under warm water, and using the brush to remove any milk residue from inside the straw. Check the included instructions for the specific disassembly steps for this Gulicola model.
What age is appropriate for the Gulicola weighted straw bottle?
The product specs list the age range as 6 months and up. At 6 months, many babies are beginning to develop the oral motor skills needed to draw from a straw. Some babies adapt quickly while others take a few weeks of practice, so patience during the transition period is normal.
