Feedback for Minbie products is overwhelmingly positive, with many parents highlighting the brand as a "lifesaver" for navigating early parenthood. The most significant takeaway is the effectiveness of the bottle teats and dummies for breastfed babies who have rejected other brands; users frequently report successful transitions between breast and bottle without nipple confusion. The electrical appliances, particularly the 3-in-1 bottle washer/steriliser/dryer, are highly regarded as essential time-saving investments.
Pros
Cons
Verdict
Minbie is a premier choice for breastfeeding families, particularly those struggling with bottle or dummy rejection. While the electrical appliances are a significant financial investment, they are highly recommended for their convenience and reliability. Consumers should be mindful of the specific assembly requirements for bottles to avoid leaking and the bulkiness of the wearable pump range.
My husband and I cannot get enough of our Minbie products! We have the breast pumps, bottles, dummies, sterilisers & are looking to get the bottle warmer too. We are honestly so impressed with the quality and how easy it has been for our 2 week old to switch between the bottles, dummies and breast without any nipple confusion. We will 100%… Read more · 1

Such a great bottle and dummy! My girl took to them so well and i love that it prevents nipple confusion! Show 2 replies
Breastfeeding is beautiful, but some days I felt completely touched out — especially when my baby would only take the breast. Minbie honestly changed that for us. The bottle protects her natural breast latch, so my partner can feed her and bond without nipple confusion or lazy latching, and our breastfeeding journey still feels right. I get a… Read more · 2
moment to breathe, and even our eldest gets those calm, one-on-one moments that make her feel so included.
We’ve been using the Minbie newborn bottle and orthodontic dummy and both have been really great for our bub. The bottle made feeding feel a lot smoother and less stressful, and bub seems much more settled after feeds. The dummy has also been a big help during fussy moments. it’s gentle, breathable, and bub took to it easily. As a first-time mum, having feeding and soothing essentials that actually work has been such a comfort! Show reply
I bought the wearable breast pump, which has been perfect for me as a solo mum so that I can pump and be hands free for chores or even to just to be proactive while enjoying my morning coffee and phone scroll. It’s light, small enough to fit inside my bra and has an easy to use mobile app control so I don’t have to keep playing with the pump… Read more · 3
itself. Also the teat converter was something that helped me decide on buying the minbie pump! After a self sterilising mishap, the staff were very helpful and quick to respond to my emails and questions when I needed replacement parts and the parts were sent out promptly. Although I mostly breastfeed, I wanted to make sure my baby was ok with bottle feeding also just in case others needed to look after him. I tried a couple of different brand bottles which my boy was a never keen on and was always a struggle to feed with. But since I started using minbie bottles and teats my boy took to them so quickly and grabs the bottle straight from me to hold himself!

These dummies were the only dummy my girl would take. After buying multiple brands and being a human dummy I seen online and took the jump to buy. As soon as I put in her mouth she took straight away, no gagging or rejection. Best part also no nipple confusion! I have even purchased for my niece. Next baby I will put straight onto the dummies! She even looks cute with them in. Show reply
Love the fact that dad can help with the occasional feed. The shape of the teat is similar to the nipple so I think this helps with the transition. The dummy fits the shape of his face so much better than another brand I had purchased as an emergency from the chemist. Was so happy when the Minbie ones arrived. Show 2 replies

I'm a new mom with little knowledge about breastfeeding. However, I made the right decision by entrusting my first motherhood journey to Minbie. I absolutely love all of Minbie's products, which make my breastfeeding so much easier. I purchased a bundle of washer and breastfeeding kit for my baby which is very recommended. Thank you, Minbie, for… Read more · 1
creating comfortable, easy-to-install products with very clear instructions and responsive customer service when I needed help.
Absolutely love these bottles, I had to go back to work and wanted my little man to be able to take a bottle and still breastfeed and minbie bottles have been incredible Show reply
Easy to use, great products making feeding easier and less stressful, I would definitely recommend Show reply
I bought the dummies from minbie and I absolutely love them , my newborn has a small mouth so I struggled to find a dummy that worked for him and then I found these dummies and he loves them , I also love how easy they are to clean and sterilise. Show reply
We tried other brand dummies with our newborn but he struggled to keep them in his mouth. After trying minbie only a couple times, he was able to keep it in his mouth and now he loves them and it’s so much easier to settle him to sleep. We also love that they are more hygienic than other dummies as there are no spots where water can be trapped and bacteria can grow. Love these dummies ! Show reply

I ordered the washer, steriliser, dryer and it is a GAME CHANGER!!! I am exclusively pumping so have pump parts and bottles galore. We use the minbie about 4 or 5 times a day. Pack it and forget it - come back to perfect bottles every time. It has made my life a million times better. Even my husband sings its praises. If you are thinking about it, just do it! Show reply
Best Dummies Bub took to them straight away Great shape for bubs Show reply
We’ve been using the Minbie bottle alongside breastfeeding and it’s worked really well for us. Weston took to it straight away and we’ve had no issues going back to the breast. Feeding feels natural and relaxed, and it’s made being out and about so much easier. Really happy with it. Show 2 replies
We love this dummy for both of our kids. Due to the unique nature, my daughter will now only take these dummies, which is fantastic for her teeth. We will definitely continue to buy them! Show reply

This is a literal set up and forget machine, I put on frozen milk when bubs half way through a sleep (he cat naps) and it’s ready to go with its keep warm mode. No water and spins to keep temperatures even throughout. Love this product so much, so easy to use Show 2 replies

Incredible product! I don’t understand how this even works but it’s magic! I had a water bottle warmer with my last baby and it drove me mad! Always drying out, spilling everywhere, getting dirty and being such a pain to clean. It ended up breaking… Read more · 1
because the water got into the machine. But this is amazing! Warms without water so no need to clean or worry about mess. Love it!
Follow-up · Warms in about 10 minutes depending on volume, it warms slowly to protect the breast milk. Isn’t portable It has two attachments so it fits all bottle sizes
We love the bottle and its great selection of flow rates. The only thing I don’t like is the indentations on the bottom of the lid/white plastic cuff. They collect unwanted dirt and it’s hard to clean Show reply
Follow-up · The bottle works just fine, those indentations are my only complaint as they’re hard to clean and I don’t personally see that they serve a purpose, but minbie may correct me on that.

My wife and I absolutely love these bottles. As a dad, I wanted to be as involved as possible, but feeding time was difficult while my wife was breastfeeding. She was exhausted, and although I wanted to help, there often wasn’t much I could do. We decided to introduce a bottle occasionally so she could get some well-earned rest and a break from… Read more · 1
feeding.
Unfortunately, regular bottles were terrible for us. They caused too much gas and reflux, and feeding became stressful rather than enjoyable.
Thankfully, I came across Minbie through a Facebook ad and we decided to give their bottles a try. Within a couple of days, they arrived here in regional Victoria, and from the very first feed we noticed a huge difference.
Our baby latched beautifully, wasn’t being fed too quickly, and the gas and reflux improved dramatically. Most importantly, feeding became a calm and enjoyable experience again. I’m now able to help much more with feeds, my wife gets some much-needed rest, and everyone is happier because of it.
Since that first order, we’ve bought more bottles, along with a warmer and steriliser. We love supporting Australian businesses, and this has honestly been one of the best experiences we’ve had as new parents.
Thank you, Minbie!
Really disappointed with the Minbie bottles. They leak constantly unless the screw top is perfectly aligned—not too tight, not too loose—which is difficult to get right every time. This has led to a lot of wasted milk. The teat design is also confusing. When used as shown in their videos, it pushes up against the roof of baby’s mouth and bends… Read more
awkwardly. We’ve had to use it upside down just to make it work, which doesn’t seem right.
The bottle itself is very wide, so it doesn’t fit in portable bottle warmers or thermoses. This makes it really inconvenient when you’re out and about and need to keep milk warm.
It’s also frustrating that they only sell a single bottle with three teats. If you’re primarily bottle feeding, you need more bottles—not extra teats—so it becomes very expensive.
We ended up using the paced feeding teat because the others were either too fast or too slow for our baby.
Lastly, the measurement markings on the bottle are extremely hard to read—they’re printed far too lightly.
They are also impossible to get in touch with. The "chat" option on their website never gets a response, and there is no way to leave a review, so I suspect the ones they show are fake.

I purchased a bundle for affordability and got a few products as ‘extras’ I thought I wouldn’t need but everything has been excellent! Some delays in shipping and lag in communication due to holiday period but staff eventually got in touch and were so kind and personable and organised express shipping straight away.

breast pump: excellent!! Easy to use, good suction, light and easy to walk around. Wearable breast pump: easy to use, suction levels were fine but I preferred the other pump. Wearables I use while cleaning. Bottle washer/dryer/steriliser: I ordered the UV steriliser but they were out of stock so they upgraded me to this one so I didn’t have to wait and it has been an absolute game changer! Didn’t even know I needed this thing but it’s saved so much time and bench space as well. No more different pots of washing bowls and steriliser on the table or bottle drying racks, just one compact product. Wish I’d got it for my first baby! Bottles: we use glass bottles so I’m not actually using these but I did take the teats to use for the glass bottle as baby prefers them. Dummies: these are good as they’re not so big and I could use them straight from birth and they also don’t fall out of his mouth when he sleeps. Bottle warmer: this was an extra I didn’t think I’d need but I also love it! So easy to just pop a bottle from the fridge in it to warm up for a feed or to leave a bottle in while baby is having a nappy change. Stays at the perfect temperature rather than just guessing the temp or chancing or cooling down too much x Love love love this!
Definitely reccomend the bundle to everyone to save some $$$ and also because some things you think you might not need could be super handy!

After what felt like ages trying to find a dummy that bubs took to and without nipple confusion, we finally stumbled across Minbie dummies! They are an absolute life saver! Only down fall - we wish we found them sooner!!! Show reply
These are the only bottles my baby would take. We tried several different brands, but these were the only ones he accepted. I think it's because the teats are so similar to a breast, which made the transition much easier for him. I ordered the 2-bottle bundle a second time and was pleasantly surprised to receive 2 complimentary bottles as well. It… Read more · 1
was such an amazing bonus and made me appreciate the brand even more. I would definitely recommend these bottles to any parent, especially if your baby is fussy about bottles or is switching between breastfeeding and bottle feeding.

Absolutely LOVE this travel warmer and I recommend it to anyone I talk to. It heats quickly, is easy to use, even easier to clean, and fits in the baby bag or the cars cup holders without issue. Also charges fairly quickly, as well as holds charge too which is nice. Show reply
Transitioning between bottle and breast has been super hard for us with not many bottle alternatives my baby girl likes, but she loves Minnie!! Could not recommend them more! Show reply
I had broken the bottle for the breast pump and when we went to order a new one, there were none in stock. This company went out of their own to let me know when they were in stock so I could hop online and purchase it before everybody knew they were there so I didn’t miss out. They arrived within the days of ordering and it was such a relief. Email were polite and supportive and provided all the detail I needed every time. Show reply
