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
