Which bottle is best? Do I need to sterilise?
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, sterilising, making, storing and warming feeds, let’s start with the bottle.
More than 50 years of bottle feeding experience
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 teat ever and extra-wide neck bottles were both ideas from mums. Thanks mums… you’re brilliant.
Shaped like a breast, feels like a breast because babies prefer it that way.
All Tommee Tippee bottles have one thing in common: the most breast-like teat ever. This easy-latch-on teat mimics the flex, stretch and shape of mum’s breast to encourage a natural latch. Just one of the reasons why 97% of mums recommend our bottles.*
Made of soft silicone, the teat 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 teats have different flow rates too, so milk can flow faster as your baby grows.
*In a 2012 on-line survey of more than 500 mums who used our Closer to Nature bottles, 97% agreed

Hungry babies don’t like waiting for a feed and will make their feelings known in the only way they can.
Those late night and early morning feeds when everyone just wants to get some more sleep can be a real stress test.
The 2am lifesaver
The Tommee Tippee Perfect Prep™ Day and Night makes bottle feeding a dream right around the clock. Not only does it prep the perfect bottle in two minutes, it’s also sleep friendly with added features specifically designed to make night feeding so much easier.
How many bottles and teats?
Newborn babies can feed anywhere between 8-12 times in 24 hrs, so you’ll need for 4-6 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.
Warming and on the go
Did you know that babies like their milk warm? A bottle warmer will warm milk from the fridge or freezer, and is useful for both formula and breastmilk. If you’re out and about our insulated bottle bags help keep baby’s milk at the right temperature for a feed on the go.
