The Steribottle Group has, after several years of development, now launched the Steri-Bottle, the world's first ready-to-use, sterile, disposable and affordable baby feeding bottle. It's made of safe plastic, and it comes complete with a special teat all pre-sterilised and ready to use. Feeding is now as simple as opening a fresh bottle, filling with chosen feed, feeding the baby and throwing away the bottle when finished.
The Steri-bottle teat has a noticeably warm and soft feel. Available in 'fast' and 'medium' flow versions, it incorporates a clever little valve that lets in just the right amount of air, allowing your baby to feed comfortably without accumulating excess wind. Steri-bottle has a helpful wise mouth for expressing breastmilk. The Steri-daptor adaptor fits one popular breast-pump, and will be available for most others. Steri-bottle can be used to store milk in your fridge or freezer without the danger of cracking.
The Steri-bottle represents a fundamental development and paradigm shift in the FMCG (fast-moving consumer goods) marketplace that has the potential to become as ubiquitous as the disposable nappy. The Steri-bottle has been developed over the past five years from an idea into a complete business platform being commercialised internationally.
