Make sure you’re using the nipple with the correct flow for your baby. Smaller babies require a slower flow.

Some bottles are more closely matched in both size, texture and flexibility to natural feeding, and as such, are often better accepted by babies who are used to the breast.

If the threads on the cap and those on the bottle don’t line up properly when you close the lid, the bottle will leak. Feeding challenges - Does your baby have any feeding challenges such as colic or reflux? Do they regularly get trapped wind, gas, or spit up milk? Some bottles have anti-colic valves to help prevent air bubbles, which can cause painful gas or trapped wind.

The Latch bottle features two truly unique components - a flexible, accordion-style nipple designed to move with the baby and increase flow as baby puts pressure on the lower part (similar to way mom's breast works) and a one-way blue anti-colic valve at the base of the bottle.

This also is supposed to help create a better latch for baby which should ease the transition between the breast and bottle.Interestingly, parents who buy bottles from this brand say that such products show minimal leakage.
