About this deal

It’s also recommended that babies stop drinking from bottles with teats by the time they are one year old as drinking through a teat leaves the teeth coated in milk and can lead to tooth decay (NHS Choices, 2015; Oral Health Foundation, 2017). Read more about this here. We recommend changing your bottle teats every two months and you should change them immediately if they're damaged or weak.

Anti-colic: Sensitive Closer to Nature teat with anti-colic valve reduces excessive air flow, so little ones ingest more milk and less air, preventing symptoms of colic Kimata, H. (2004), Latex allergy in infants younger than 1 year. Clinical & Experimental Allergy, 34: 1910-1915. Available at doi: 10.1111/j.1365-2222.2004.02128.x Many parents want to know ‘which brand of baby bottle is best?’ The fact is there is no independent research showing differences in feeding ability or pattern from different brands of bottles or teats (Which, 2021; Scheel, 2005). It’s down to you and your baby to see what works for you. Here’s an overview of the main types of bottles available on the market: Basic bottles If you think you'll be using the bottle warmer to heat jars of food as well as milk, choose one that has an adaptor for holding jars at an easily reachable height – otherwise you can end up having to reach down into the hot warmer for your jar. Some warmers have the facility to heat food in a bowl, too. Other types of bottle warmersIm at the end of the line when it comes to her feeding, each time it is a challenge and she is always hungry after drinking 6oz cos she loses so much :( Asked doctors and midwifes about a tongue tie or a cleft pallette and they all say thats fine and to try vari flow teats, but nothing is working, they make me feel like im paranoid when I suggest it may be something else :( Acceptance guaranteed: Easy latch: Shaped like a breast for a natural latch and acceptance guaranteed* All Closer to Nature bottle teats feature an anti-colic valve to prevent the symptoms of colic by ensuring your little one ingests more milk and less air.

You may hear that you should keep the teat full of milk to avoid swallowing air. However where the milk flow is too fast and not in your baby's control, it is more likely to cause indigestion or gas (Kellymom, 2020). Anecdotally, babies whose parents use paced feeding suffer less from gas (Herman, 2021). Kidly offers a smaller selection of boutique brands. Its pricier compared to high-street retailers, but it gives you the chance to discover some less-known baby brands. Flask' type baby bottle warmers These are made up of two sections: an inner flask, and a lid deep enough to hold a bottle. Before you go out, fill the flask with boiling water and attach the lid. When you need to heat up the bottle of milk, remove the lid, put the bottle in it, then fill around it with the hot water from the flask.Some sterilisers can be used with more than one method of sterilisation – for example, microwave and cold water. This can be useful if you need to sterilise away from home. These bottles are shorter and fatter than the basic ones but you can put the same amount of milk in them. They usually come with silicone rather than latex teats and have a self-sealing lid. If you're making up formula to feed your baby, you shouldn't need a bottle warmer, as the government advice is to make fresh formula for every feed. Bottles come in two sizes, small ones which hold 150mls (5 fl oz) and large ones which hold 250ml (9 fl oz). For the first few weeks, newborns feed little and often because their stomachs are so small (Unicef, 2019). The smaller bottles are more suitable for this period. Babies who feed from larger bottles consume more milk, which may lead to overfeeding (Wood et al, 2016). There is no “right” time to change your baby’s teat level. Some babies are content using Level 1 throughout their feeding days, while more aggressive eaters may advance sooner than expected. Your baby will offer signs if the flow is not fast enough and it’s time to move up a level. Typical signs include baby:

You’ll want to have six bottles or more if you're solely bottle-feeding. If you're breastfeeding, or planning to, some people still like to have one or two bottles to hand. And you’ll need them if you plan to express breast milk. Anti-colic bottles are designed to reduce the amount of air a baby takes in while feeding, which is thought to be a possible cause of colic (uncontrollable crying in a healthy baby as a result of wind). This is done through air vents, tubes or collapsible bags for the milk inside the bottle. A compromise is a ‘travelling’ cup, with a spout that you can lift up when your child wants to drink, and put down when he or she has finished. Hurley, K. M., Cross, M. B., & Hughes, S. O. (2011). A systematic review of responsive feeding and child obesity in high-income countries. The Journal of nutrition, 141(3), 495–501. https://doi.org/10.3945/jn.110.130047 [Accessed 6 December 2021] Appropriate if your child has shown consistent feeding with no difficulties and is taking larger amounts at the breast and bottle.Baby bowl Plastic bowls with high sides and a ‘lip’ or gripper on the edge for you to hold are convenient for when you're feeding your baby. Once they are trying to self-feed, bowls with lower, gently curving sides and a textured easy-to-grip rim can help them stay in control. Plastic scoop bib These have an in-built curved ‘catch’ tray at the base of the bib, so food falls into the tray rather than into your baby’s lap. With this type, you place your washed bottles upside down in the steriliser, add water and switch it on. The water is then heated electrically. When sterilisation is complete, usually after about 10 minutes, the steriliser switches off automatically. Provided the lid isn't opened, the contents will stay sterile for a while (usually about six hours). These are shorter and fatter than standard bottles, but take the same amount of milk. They usually take silicone rather than latex teats and will normally have a self-sealing lid. If you’re planning to breastfeed it isn't necessary to buy bottles ‘just in case’. Over 90% of maternity units in the UK are now Baby Friendly Accredited, which means a midwife on the infant feeding team should be able to support you if you do have any difficulties with breastfeeding straight after birth (UNICEF 2017). They’ll help you with hand-expressing your colostrum and feeding it to your baby using a spoon, syringe or feeding cup (Unicef 2017). Find out whether your maternity unit is accredited here.
