Bottles & Teats

How to choose bottles & teats in Australia

Choosing the right bottle depends on your baby's feeding style and any tummy troubles. Anti-colic bottles with venting systems suit babies who gulp air, while breast-like teats help with combination feeding. All bottles sold in Australia must meet AS/NZS standards, so focus on features that match your needs rather than price alone. Consider how many pieces need washing (some have multiple parts that get fiddly), whether you can buy replacement teats locally, and if the bottles fit your steriliser and warmer. Start with a small starter set rather than committing to dozens of one brand. Babies can be fussy, and what works for your friend's bub might get rejected by yours. Check return policies at major retailers like Chemist Warehouse, Baby Bunting and Big W, as you might need to try a few options. If you're expressing, make sure bottles are compatible with your breast pump to save money and cupboard space.
