unlike other bottles, minbie's unique, patented teat design protects and nurtures breastfeeding making it ideal for parents who want the freedom to introduce a bottle that won't take over from the breast. minbie supports your baby to continue feeding just as they do on the breast, avoiding confusion, lazy feeding and rejection. to truly protect your little one's ability to latch directly onto the breast without confusion, we recommend using our award-winning, australian designed teats as the first alternative when bottle feeding. this is more than just a feeding system; this is a new, more flexible way of life for all families.
