Baby’s First Feeds Guide

Watching your baby grow can be both exciting and a little overwhelming - but don’t worry, we’ve got your back. This guide will help you know when and how to transition from our standard bottle nipples to the Thick Flow Nipple and Sippy Spout, supporting a gentle move from milk to your baby’s first feeds.

Supporting Next Steps
Did you know all BIBS bottle components are interchangeable across the full collection? This means you can easily adapt your baby’s bottle to fit their needs, making mealtimes smoother and helping your little one build independence by self-feeding and practicing essential mobility skills.

Thick Flow Bottle Nipple

There is a point where babies are ready to move on to solids. They suddenly start eyeing your food, getting fussy while feeding, or seem less satisfied after milk. These are cues that it may be time to start the weaning journey. But tiny tummies need a gentle introduction to thicker foods.

The Thick Flow Bottle Nipple is designed for babies ready to explore cereal, thin porridge, and other textured liquids.

● Y-Cut opening adapts the flow rate to your baby’s sucking strength.
● Leak-proof design helps prevent spills.

When to use it?

From around 6+ months, when your baby shows signs of interest in solid foods.

How to use it?

Attach to any BIBS Baby Bottle, fill with your chosen textured liquid, and you’re ready to feed.

Sippy Bottle & Sippy Spout

Starting solids goes hand-in-hand with learning to drink water. The Sippy Bottle and Sippy Spout make this milestone easier, with easy-grip handles for little hands and with a leak-proof design to keep things mess-free.

Ultra-soft food-grade silicone is gentle on gums
yet bite-resistant.
Anti-colic valve reduces air intake and
bubbles.
Skin-like frosted texture intends to aid proper
oral placement and prevent accidental unlatching during feedings.

When to use it?

You can start offering water and using the Sippy Bottle once your baby begins exploring purees and solids. At this stage, small sips with meals support healthy hydration and help build a natural routine.

How to use it?

Fill your Sippy Bottle (or any BIBS Baby
Bottle) with water, attach the Sippy Spout, and let your little one sip away.
