Bottles & accessories for feeding

Frequently Asked Questions About Bottles & Accessories

Which baby bottle is best for my baby?
Ideally, look for a soft teat that makes feeding easier for your baby. An ergonomically shaped bottle will also be easier for your baby to hold independently as they grow. A wide bottle opening also makes everyday cleaning and filling quicker and easier.

Which drinking bottle won't leak when we're out and about?
For days out, it's best to choose drinking bottles with a secure screw cap or a special leak-proof design. These bottles can be closed securely, making them easy to carry in your bag or rucksack without worrying about spills. An integrated valve provides additional protection against leaks.

Which baby bottles are better, glass or plastic?
Bottles made from high-quality plastic are lightweight and can withstand being dropped when your baby is learning to drink independently. Glass bottles, on the other hand, don't absorb odours or become discoloured. They're also particularly easy to clean after feeding and can be used for a very long time.

Why is a bottle steriliser worth having for my baby?
A steriliser uses hot steam to thoroughly sterilise your baby's bottles and teats. Many models also dry the items afterwards, so the accessories are ready to use again for the next feed. This saves you the hassle of boiling everything in a saucepan and makes your daily feeding routine that little bit easier.

How can I gently warm my baby's milk?
A bottle warmer gradually heats your baby's milk to the ideal temperature using a warm water bath. This helps preserve the valuable nutrients in the milk. It also prevents dangerous hot spots in the liquid that could cause discomfort or burns during feeding.

Which is better, a stainless steel or plastic drinking bottle?
Stainless steel drinking bottles are extremely durable and don't affect the taste of drinks. They are free from BPA, plasticisers and chemicals. High-quality plastic bottles, on the other hand, are particularly lightweight and can be more affordable. However, plastic may absorb odours, warp or become brittle over time and can release microplastics into the contents.
