The 9+ month stage is a time of big transitions, as your baby moves from being completely dependent to learning how to walk, talk, and even self-feed. It’s also a stage where your baby is developing likes and dislikes, which can make feeding more challenging — especially if other bottles haven’t worked.

The 9+ teat provides the comfort of familiarity with a latch and feeding motion that feels just like breastfeeding. By requiring babies to work for the feed using their instinctive breastfeeding technique, it not only protects the breastfeeding bond but also supports natural jaw development, which is especially important in the first four years of life.

If your baby is currently using the 6+ month fast teats, the 9+ month advanced teats are the natural next step. For babies new to this stage, we recommend pairing with a pack of 6+ month fast teats to help match your baby’s feeding rate as they transition.

Unlike ordinary teats, our patented design supports breastfeeding by encouraging babies to continue using their natural latch and suckling technique. This makes it possible to introduce or continue bottle feeding without disrupting breastfeeding. The unique design also helps prevent nipple confusion, lazy feeding, reflux, and colic.

- With Minbie, your baby keeps practising how to breastfeed, so they're ready for cuddles and feeds when you're back.

- Its clever shape helps stop lazy feeding and confusion between bottle and breast.

- Minbie is kind to tiny tummies, gums and palates, helping digestion and comfort.

- Best of all, it gives you the freedom to rest without worry — your baby can bottle-feed and still return to breastfeeding with ease.
