Any parent who bottle-fed their baby will tell you that not every bottle is the same. Even the size of the bottle can help – or hinder – your baby accepting it for feeding. Beloved by parents far and wide, this clever little bottle is self-sterilising, leak-proof and surprisingly budget-friendly. The super-soft silicone teat has been designed with a flat shape intended to mimic the nipple when breastfeeding, but it's the faff-free sterilising that sets them apart and earns MAM the top spot in our round-up. Keeping your baby upright should minimise this and angled bottles make the correct positioning easier. 4. Eco-friendly Plastic bottles should now be made from BPA- and BPS-free plastics – both chemicals can reportedly leach into food and drink and affect the body – which should also be obvious on the label. Volume markings: Are they clear and easy to read? This will become much more important at 4am – trust us.
The small parts found in an anti-colic bottle should, of course, be kept out of baby’s reach. How do I make up a bottle? How does it work? It’s easy-peasy! Boil fresh water, measure formula powder, fill RapidCool with hot water, add formula powder, and mix well. Simply wait for the digital display to show a green Nuby logo and dispense the feed into your sterilised baby bottle. A 120ml feed will be ready to serve in only 2 minutes*. No cold-water baths to cool a bottle down, no having to reheat a made-up bottle, no worrying about making a feed correctly. Just a safe feed to NHS guidelines, day, night, or out and about.New parents have so many things to think about when their little one arrives, and making a bottle is one of them. It sounds like a breeze, but when your baby is hungry you can be sure they’ll let you know about it in great volume! When the pressure is on, it’s difficult to remember the NHS guidelines for preparing a formula feed, but not to worry - we've got you covered. With an orthodontically-shaped teat, plenty of Mumsnet users will attest that they're easier than other bottles for breastfed babies to latch on to. Milk flows with minimal effort from the baby - which is why they're often used in NICU wards - and there's an anti-colic valve to prevent air bubbles. Keep an eye on the teat to make sure it’s always full of milk, not air (this helps prevent swallowing too much air, which can lead to reflux or colic). If the pressure in the bottle builds up so the teat goes flat, the NHS recommends inserting a little finger gently in the corner of your baby’s mouth to release it.

Most lactation experts recommend six bottles in rotation for daily full-time feeding. However, if you’re combination feeding or just occasionally expressing, you’ll be able to get away with two to four, depending on how often you use them. She analysed instructions and online resources, and noted down information about materials and safety standards. Almost all teats are made from clear silicone, although rubber latex is still found in some bottles. The latter can cause allergic reactions in some babies so that’s worth bearing in mind. The shape of a teat varies considerably between brands and models of bottle: for newborns, you may see a wide, flat teat, rather like a thumb that’s designed to more closely resemble a nipple and fit in smaller mouths. For older babies, you’ll see a more bulbous shape that widens out to the bottle.

Here’s a useful list of what you might need to take with you when you’re having a day away from home: Almost all bottles on the market include anti-colic features. One of the potential causes of colic and reflux is swallowing too much air during feeds, so bottle designers include venting systems to reduce the amount of air that gets into the milk as the baby drinks. NUK’s First Choice+ baby bottles come with a choice of teats with a natural shape, soft orthodontic tip and anti-colic air system to prevent your bub from swallowing bubbles. If your young baby doesn’t seem to enjoy latching on to slightly stiffer silicone, a latex teat such as this one may be the answer. As a rule of thumb, buy how many bottles you think you’d need for a 12-hour period so you’re not constantly washing and sterilising them – life with a new baby is busy enough. What makes a baby bottle safe? It keeps the food hot and cold thanks to a double-wall vacuum design with a further copper layer of insulation. Whatever the temperature of the contents going in will stay that way for a long time. Stainless steel is easy to clean, tough and of course BPA free.
