Bottles
For full-time bottle feeding you’ll need six to eight 250ml bottles. Bottles are
usually sold with teats, although these can also be bought separately You’ll find
that bottles come in a surprising variety of designs.
- Standard bottles can be used with several types of teat, and come in 60ml, 125ml and
250ml sizes and may be sold in multi-packs
- Wide-necked bottles are easier to fill and clean than standard bottle designs; they
typically come in 125 and 250ml sizes and may be adapted to training cups* if bought as
part of a bottle system
- Angled bottles are designed to stop the baby swallowing air, which causes tummy pain
- Gripper bottles are designed for older babies to hold themselves, but a baby or toddler
should never be left alone when feeding or drinking
- You can buy disposable bottle kits which are very useful for travelling
- Insulated bottle carriers allow you to take a bottle with water at the correct
temperature, and milk powder in a dispenser that releases the correct amount when you are
ready to mix the feed.(They should never be used to keep a pre-mixed feed warm). Before
buying check that it will take your size of bottle
