Bottle Feeding

So you’re thinking of bottle feeding baby?
You’ll have lots of questions.

Which bottle is best? Do I need to sterilize?

How will I ever leave the house if baby needs all this stuff?

There’s lots to think about, so take a deep breath and we’ll help you work it out here at Tommee Tippee with our handy introduction to all things bottle feeding.

Breastfeeding, bottle feeding, or a bit of both… there are so many ways to feed your baby. When it comes down to it, you’ll choose what’s best for you and your little one. Whatever you decide, we’re here to help. There’s lots to think about, and you’ll have many questions, but before we get onto cleaning, sterilizing, making, storing and warming feedings, let’s start with the bottle.

We started making baby products in 1965 with one clear goal: to make life simpler for real families. Our two biggest bottle feeding innovations - the most breast-like nipple ever and extra-wide neck bottles were both ideas from moms.

Thanks moms… you’re brilliant.

All Tommee Tippee bottles have one thing in common: the most breast-like nipple ever. This easy-latch-on nipple mimics the flex, stretch and shape of mum’s breast to encourage a natural latch. Just one of the reasons why 97% of moms recommend our bottles.*

Made of soft silicone, the nipple feels closer to skin for complete comfort at feeding time. The wide bottle neck encourages your baby’s natural feeding action. And the bottle’s unique curved, compact shape makes it easy for you to hold baby in the most natural position when they’re feeding – close to you.

Our bottles come in a range of sizes that grow with your baby. And baby bottle nipples have different flow rates too, so milk can flow faster as your baby grows.

Did you know that not all nipples are the same? There are different shapes, different materials and some deliver baby’s milk faster than others.

Choosing the right nipple for your baby can make it easier to move from breast to bottle feeding, help reduce gas and colic and make feeding baby easier. If this is news to you, don’t worry, we’re here to help you make sense of it all.

*In a 2012 on-line survey of more than 500 moms who used our Closer to Nature bottles, 97% agreed

You need to fill it, warm it and feed with it. That’s why all Tommee Tippee bottles fit a range of formula dispensers, breast pumps, sterilizers, bottle warmers and bottle bags.

Those late night and early morning feedings when everyone just wants to get some more sleep can be a real stress test.
