Over 50 years of experience

We started making baby products to make life simpler for real families.

And we’ve never stopped!

Our bottle teats are made from soft silicone and have a special breast-like shape that encourages a natural latch, preventing nipple confusion when switching between breast, bottle and back again.

Meet the family

The unique curved shape of our bottles makes it easy for you to hold your baby in the most natural position when they’re feeding – close to you.

Whichever bottle you choose, we guarantee that they’re all BPA, BPS and phthalate-free for ultimate reassurance.

Take a look at the videos below to help you decide which bottle is best for you and your baby.

Made from polyphenylsulfone (PPSU), these amber-tone baby bottles are highly durable and heat-resistant and won’t retain odours or stains left behind by milk.

LEARN ABOUT TEATS

Go with the flow

Wondering how many bottles and teats you’ll need?

Newborn babies can feed anywhere between eight to 12 times in 24 hours, so you’ll need four to six bottles and teats to get started with. You usually get teats with your bottles, but it’s a good idea to have a few extra in case they get damaged or lost.

Our bottles come in a range of sizes that grow with your baby, and our baby bottle teats have different flow rates too, so that milk baby’s milk can flow faster as they grow.
