When buying baby bottles, it is particularly important to pay attention to the material. Even though all plastic bottles have been BPA-free since June 2011, some parents prefer to use the alternative made of glass.

If breastfeeding is not possible, breast milk should be administered via the bottle or the bottle should be given in addition to breastfeeding, the baby bottle is used.

We inform you about important categories, well-known brands such as Babyone, Nuk or Mam, and different types of baby bottles.

1. What are baby bottles?

Baby bottles are used to supply food.

The conventional baby bottle consists of a standard bottle made of glass or plastic and a pacifier-like teat, which usually consists of silicone, just like the pacifier. Milk, follow-on milk or another drink suitable for children is stored in the baby bottle. In the first few months of a newborn, breast milk or breast milk substitute is the right diet. This feeds the child through the baby bottle. Depending on the age and level of development of the child, there are between one and four openings on the teat that release a specific amount of milk. There are also so-called wide-neck bottles, which are particularly easy to fill and clean due to their wide diameter. There are also often nice gadgets like baby bottles with names. You can find out which baby bottle, whether from Babyone, Nuk or Mam, is the right baby article for your child in our baby bottle comparison 2019/2020.

2. What types of baby bottles are there??

Baby bottles (e.g. from Nuk) all work the same way. Your child sucks on the mouthpiece, releasing the liquid. Depending on the model of the teat, this process requires more or less effort from your child. In principle, baby bottles can be divided into two types, especially with regard to their material.

2.1. Plastic bottles

The plastic used here is mostly polypropylene. Plastic bottles convince many parents because they are light and extremely resistant. All baby bottles on the German market have been BPA-free since 2011, which means that plastic bottles can be used without hesitation.
If you notice a slight plastic smell in your baby bottle, you should boil it several times until the smell is completely lost. Good products in our baby bottle comparison are e.g. Mam bottles or some from Nuk. The teat for the baby is almost always made of silicone.

mostly well ergonomically shaped
very easy

the light weight of the bottle can lead the child to suck constantly

2.2. Glass bottles

Glass bottles are a good alternative for parents who would like to completely do without plastic as a material. But here too – as shown by baby bottle tests – the teat, like the pacifier, is usually made of silicone or latex. Few manufacturers actually offer suction cups that are not made of plastic. A possible alternative material is e.g. Naturkautchuk. Good glass bottles are available from Mam, Babyone or Nuk, among others.

Weight makes constant sucking difficult

not shatterproof

3. Buying advice for baby bottles: you have to pay attention to this

criteria	property
Mammal	As with the pacifier, the teat is usually made of silicone and can be removed and replaced. The manufacturers outbid each other with information on the "naturalness" of the nipple, that is, that it is modeled as best as possible on the female breast. In fact, such silicone nipples are more than sensible for babies and stimulate the child’s tongue and jaw in the right way.
Ergonomics of the bottle	It is important to many parents that the baby bottle fits comfortably in the hand – like one of our best baby bottles. A curved shape is an advantage here. In addition, the bottle should not be too heavy so that holding the bottle does not become tedious.
capacity	The filling quantity varies from model to model mostly between 150 and 260 ml.

When cleaning baby bottles, the baby bottle is cleaned and the The cap is first disinfected and thoroughly cleaned.

5.1 Anti-colic bottles

The so-called three-month colic (baby colic or colic) are cramp-like, severe pain in the abdominal area, which mainly occurs during the first three months of life. A colic occurs when babies swallow too much air while drinking. The Colic can be prevented by targeted and correct feeding or drinking.

Such baby bottles are called anti-colic bottles.

7. Questions and answers about baby bottles

7.1. When do you no longer have to boil baby bottles?

More product comparisons around baby

From when you no longer have to boil baby bottles, there are different information. However, the consensus seems to be between 6 and 8 months when the child begins to crawl slowly.

7.2. Do you need baby bottles when breastfeeding??

Definitely yes. Because even if the baby is only fed breast milk, the other parent, grandmother or childminder may or may have to give the bottle. Good models are e.g. Mam bottles. Therefore, despite breastfeeding, it makes sense to have a number of baby bottles that can be used if necessary. Other baby items such as nursing pillows are a useful addition to breastfeeding or bottles, because nursing pillows relieve the back and the baby can be comfortably positioned on the nursing pillow.

There are also baby bottles with names that fit the baby individually. If you also want to warm baby bottles, it is worth taking a look at further baby article comparisons at Comparison.org.

7.3. Why do you have to boil baby bottles?

A vaporiser is used for hygienic cleaning of baby bottles after use.

Babies can not only infect toys extremely quickly with germs because their immune system is still very weak, but also when drinking. Therefore, hygiene when dealing with a newborn is also a top priority and you have to boil baby bottles after each use. Before that, the baby bottles must be taken apart and cleaned. The drinking water, with which you may mix the milk powder, should also be boiled before use. The exact procedure can be practiced during pregnancy.

7.4. Baby bottles in the test: which is better, baby bottles made of glass or plastic?

There is no general answer to which product should be your personal baby bottle comparison winner.

However, if you want to completely do without plastic, you will of course accept compromises in the functionality of glass bottles. The material from this baby article is irrelevant for proper nutrition. In both versions, the bottle teat is usually made of silicone (like the pacifier).
