Organising your Bottle Gear

Ever been stuck in a "nap trap"? It's when your baby nods off during breastfeeding, and you're afraid to budge in case they wake up. Having all your essentials within arm's reach is a real lifesaver.

You don’t have to buy everything on this list. We’ve spent 16 years researching breastfeeding products and put together this list of absolutely everything you might find useful, along with reasons why.

Now it’s your turn to choose what will work for you.

 

A baby bottle holder is a handy device that helps babies hold their bottles, encouraging them to feed independently.

Baby bottles are special containers for feeding babies breast milk or formula. They come in different shapes, sizes, and materials, and some are designed to reduce gas and colic.

Bibs are protective clothing worn around a baby’s neck to catch spills and keep their clothes clean and dry.

A bottle brush is a long-handled brush with bristles specifically designed to clean the inside of baby bottles. It ensures thorough cleaning to prevent the buildup of milk residue, bacteria, and odour.
