For young children navigating drinking, the right tools at just the right time can be incredibly helpful too. But if you’re unsure of which bottle or cup to use when, this should clear it up for you! Here are the best bottles and cups for bub's age:

Baby Bottle (0m+)

whether partly or wholly bottle feeding, bub will likely use a baby bottle sometime during the first 12 months be it for breast milk, formula or cooled, boiled water. Our premium PPSU baby bottle is ergonomically shaped for comfortable feeding and comes with add-on handles to help baby’s self-feed as they grow. Anti-colic teats available in 3 stages, support baby from birth through to transition to a cup

Spout Cup (4m+)

When bub starts on solids, a spout cup is the ideal addition to mealtimes. It can be used to introduce cooled, boiled water or to offer a supplement of breast milk or formula. It has an angled silicone spout that’s gentle on sensitive little gums. plus easy-grip handles for simple lifting, drinking and learning for little hands with limited dexterity!

Out and about? The spout cover will keep the mouthpiece clean and hygienic, while ensuring no leaks in your baby bag or backpack.

Sippy Cup (6m+)

Help bubs transition to a straw with a leak-proof sippy cup. The weighted straw moves with the liquid, so bub can drink lying, sitting or standing whichever way it’s tilted. Serve with warm or cool options like water, fresh juice and smoothies to introduce bub to new and exciting flavours. Great as a replacement for the ritual morning and night milk bottle when bub is ready to transition away from the teat, at around 12 months of age.

The ultimate must-have, our sippy cup is ideal when out and about or travelling with kids because it won’t leak. No more messy spills or soggy bags!

Training Cup (9m+)

When bub has mastered the sippy cup, you can start experimenting with a training cup. It mimics the flow of a big-kid cup by funneling water and other drinks into the rim for free-flow drinking. All the while minimising spills as bub uses the unique window to judge how much to lift, tilt and drink.

It’s the ideal stepping-stone to a regular, open cup for water, milk, you name it. And it’s less-mess for folks too, particularly when dining out or visiting friends.

Drink Bottle (9m+)

Heading out and about, our drink bottle will keep bub happy and hydrated all day long! uniquely shaped for little hands to grasp, with an easy push-button lid to encourage confidence when they are ready to drink independently. The robust carry handle let’s littlies carry and use with ease. The wide opening let’s them refill with water and ice for those warmer days. and the spill-proof straw top prevents accidental mess in your baby bag or backpack.

Insulated Drink Bottle (12m+)

Calling all little adventurers! Our insulated drink bottle has double-walled stainless steel to keep drinks cool for 8 hours offering all day refreshment at the park, pool, beach or wherever you may be chilling with friends these holidays!

And in cooler months it will keep drinks warm for up to 6 hours, so now your little one can stay hydrated and healthy whatever the weather. Complete with carry handle and easy push-button opening, for little hands to manage.
