Product Information

Familiar, Mum-Like Softness: A squeezably soft, breast-like bottle experience provides a smooth transition to bottle feeding, or when combining with breastfeeding, without the worry of teat confusion. Some parents work to exclusively nurse and others begin with formula from day one. But these days, it's common for parents to pair breastfeeding with bottle feeding—using either expressed breastmilk or formula (called combination feeding). Microplastics are tiny bits of plastic, so microscopic that you don’t see them. They end up in our waterways and food supply. They have also been found in the liquid contents of plastic baby bottles. You can use the mason jar aluminum rings, mason bottle’s plastic rings, or my favorite choice the Ecojarz stainless steel rings to secure the silicone nipple to the mason jar. Nanobébé is another top-rated silicone feeding bottle that’s comparable in price with Boon NERSH (above). Unlike Boon NERSH, this is a straight-up silicone bottle (made with food grade silicone).

If you're a first-time expectant parent you might be swayed, confused, impressed or overwhelmed by the claims made by baby-bottle manufacturers. Here, we've compiled a litany of attributes you'll likely read about and might question. Glass baby bottles are the safest choice on the market because they don’t leach chemicals at high temperatures or break down over time. Glass baby bottles are truly non-toxic and free of BPA, lead (make sure to look for unpainted), and phthalates.Comotomo makes high quality silicone baby bottles and nipples that are designed with breastfeeding in mind. The main variation in baby bottles is in the size. Newborn bottles have a capacity of around 150ml (5oz), going up to around 250ml (9oz) for older babies. Some sets have a number of each size. All bottles have measurements up the side to help you put the right amount of water in when making up formula. Some brands also do larger bottles if you find your baby draining 9oz each feed. What bottle teat should I buy? As well as your bottle of choice, you’ll need a way to sterilise the bottles – this is easily done with a standalone steam steriliser, a sterilising box placed in the microwave or sterilising tablets in cold water. If you’re making up a lot of formula, an automatic formula prep machine can save you a lot of time and fiddling about. Even though BPA has been removed or banned from all plastic products in most countries, recent scientific studies indicate that the chemicals which replaced BPA in plastics, namely blesphinol S (BPS) and blesphinol F (BSF) carry with them similar dangers to the human body – especially the tiniest of bodies. There are several silicone bottles on the market today that vary in price, design, and features. Below is a selection of the best silicone baby bottles that are safe for babies and parent-approved.

Stains and odors. Another issue you may face with silicone feeding bottles isthat silicone is prone to staining and tends to attracts odors.

While glass has stood the test of time as the safest feeding option in terms of leaching toxins or harboring bacteria, it is also the most heavy and, of course, breakable. Each bottle range comes with its own advantages, meaning it’s worth thinking about how often you’re going to be using your bottles when making a choice. Even if you’re planning to breastfeed, it can be worth having a couple of bottles on hand; a bottle of expressed or formula feed can be more convenient when you head out in public, and handing off a nighttime or early morning feed to your partner can work wonders for your mental state in the early months. If you’re planning to bottle-feed, you’ll need enough bottles for eight feeds a day. If you’re combi-feeding or just want an emergency standby, a few bottles will suffice. At room temperature, expressed breastmilk or formula is safe for only two hours. If you come across a bottle that's been sitting out for that long or longer, you need to toss the milk or formula that's inside and clean the bottle thoroughly. They heat food similarly to the way the sun heats your face – through waves of electromagnetic energy .
