Why Minbie?

We passionately believe in supporting the mother-baby breastfeeding bond. To help you we have created the Minbie:

• Protects a baby's natural instinctive breastfeeding technique - use Minbie first and only to avoid the harm to breastfeeding that generic nipples can quickly cause
• Encourages a proper, comfortable, anti-mastitis breastfeeding-latch
• Supports natural breastfeeding - requiring a baby to work at the feed with Minbie's anti-colic & anti-reflux instinctive breastfeeding-motion
• Minbie is made of premium-quality, German sourced, soft, flexible, BPA-free silicone
• Minbie is breakthrough, unique, patented, multiple design award-winning and loved by a growing number of mothers - the instructions need to be followed.

How is Minbie better for breastfeeding than generic teats?

Use Minbie first and only when bottle-feeding to protect your baby's precious, natural, instinctive breastfeeding latch & motion. Generic teats train babies to feed differently and can quickly harm a baby's ability to breastfeed, resulting in the bottle taking-over.

How does Minbie help babies that can't be breastfed?

Minbie provides a high quality feeding experience that nurtures the baby's feeding stage. Minbie supports proper suckling development of the jaw-complex and digestion.

What size bottles does Minbie fit?

The Minbie is compatible with a number of standard wide-neck baby bottles (49.5 - 50.5mm outer neck diameter). The Minbie does not fit narrow-neck bottles or very wide bottles. We cannot guarantee a fit with other brands, and therefore recommend the use of the Minbie bottles: 210ml, 270ml BPA-free PP (polypropylene) bottle or 180ml glass bottle with silicone outer sleeve.

How to prevent leaks?

The Minbie is made of premium-quality soft flexible silicone, it is important to follow the instructions so that you get the best use of the product and know how to prevent leaks.

• Breastfeed if possible for the first 6 months+
• For breastfeeding mothers who need to go back to work - Minbie's familiar breastfeeding-latch & motion has helped a lot of breastfed babies to accept a bottle
• For weaning, Minbie has helped many older breastfed babies to accept a bottle and begin to feed independently.
