For babies aged 0–6 months, feeding products should be chosen around age-appropriate teat flow, manageable bottle sizes and a simple hygiene routine.

Baby bottles for 0–6 months

Smaller bottle capacities are often practical for early feeds, although the exact size depends on the baby's routine. Focus on teat stage and compatibility before capacity alone.

Teats and flow rates

Use the manufacturer's age and flow guidance. A teat that is too fast can overwhelm a young baby, while one that is too slow may make feeds unnecessarily difficult.

Soothers for 0–6 months

If you use a soother, select one specifically marked for the newborn/0–6 month stage. Red Rhino stocks selected NUK 0–6M soothers.

Cleaning and sterilising

Newborn feeding equipment should be cleaned thoroughly after use and sterilised according to product guidance. See our bottle cleaning and sterilising guide.

Useful 0–6 month feeding essentials

  • Age-appropriate bottles and teats
  • Dedicated bottle brush
  • Sterilising solution or steam sterilizer, where appropriate

  • Extra compatible teats if needed
