God DAMN PIGEON!! – My daughter was born last year in November. We bottle fed her with breast milk as she wasn't suckling from the breast. My wife and I bought the Philips Avent wide neck 0 month bottle + teat. NAH! She didn't like them. So we went the hospital favourite, Medela. She was happy at first with them. Until the breast feeding centre suggest us to get… Read more
pigeon wide neck pp and ppsu. Mate, don't know how they know when I use different bottles to feed her, she rejects it. Highly recommend.
Love these bottles – My baby loves these bottles. I have the ppsu (high use yellow bottles). I have tried medela and tommee tippee also, but they don’t compare. Love the air intake valve on the teats. You can hear and see air being released back into the bottle so there are never any suction problems. Never had a bottle leak, easy to read measurement for formula, good quality teats with age appropriate flow. Highly recommended! Show details
Not what I expected – I purchased three packs of the Pigeon SofTouch Peristaltic Plus PPSU Twin Pack, after reading great reviews. I love the look of the bottles and the feel (they feel great quality) but unfortunately I was disappointed in them. Every time I shake the bottle the milk leaks out and I end up with sticky hands each time. I didnt have this issue with the… Read more
Pigeon newborn starter kit so unsure if the issue is with these taller bottles. Its a shame because I really wanted to stick with these bottles

Bottle and breastfeeding is possible – I didn't plan on doing a lot of bottle feeding with my baby, just one a day or night for my husband to experience it as well. But as things didn't go to plan I ended up doing more bottle feeding than anticipated. The bottles have been excellent. My baby will still go on the breast even with multiple feeds from a bottle. I was concerened he… Read more
wouldn't do both and only want the bottle once he got on it but nope, happy with either.
I also found he was A LOT less gassy after a bottle feed and would settle for his nap easier than he would after breast feeding.
I started with the 0+ size teat and 160ml bottle. He quickly outgrew the 160ml bottle and needed a larger feed so my advice would be to skip the small bottle and go for the larger size straight away to save a bit of money.
My baby also didn't progress as quickly from one teat size to the next as Pigeon recommends. When he was old enough I switched him on to the next teat size up and he practically choked on the milk because the flow was way too fast for him. I changed him to the next size up when I noticed he would bite the teat and took that as the sign he was ready to move up.
The bottles DON'T leak, I know this because I too thought they were dodgy and leaked from the rim of the teat, turns out I wasn't putting them on properly.
I did have a problem with some 3+ month teats that split at the opening after about a weeks worth of use, that was disappointing but I've replaced them and haven't had anymore split after a couple months of use.
All in all very happy with this product. Was great knowing bubby would go down for his nap easier after a bottle feed.
Peristalitic plus: The reason my baby took the bottle – I was not able to continue breastfeeding due to having an autoimmune disease that requires medication not compatible with breastfeeding. We tried to introduce a bottle to our bub at 3 months, using the Avent bottles, after using Medela Calma teats for EBM a couple of times we didn't anticipate problems. We were advised Medela Calma are not… Read more
compatible with prolonged formula feeding and are also very costly to replace so when it came time to switch to formula we tried Avent when bub was about 3 months. My baby rejected the Avent bottles, quite loudly, and so I pressed on for a few months breastfeeding mostly out of guilt. I was recommended to try the Pigeon Peristaltic plus teats due on the market May 2013. The customer service staff at their Havenhall centre were incredibly helpful.
My baby took to the bottle immediately, even from me, and loves his bottle after several months breastfeeding exclusively. We were preparing ourselves for great difficulty and told bub would need to be introduced to the bottle by dad (by a range of M&C Health Nurses and friends)... None of this happened and I believe it was because of these teats. They literally changed my life. From him screaming rejecting the bottle at 3/4 months to pure pleasure drinking with mum on the first try at 7 months. The teats are soft, baby friendly and budget friendly at ten bucks for a two pack (considering other "nipple like" products can cost btw $20-50 a pop). They may collapse if not used/cleaned properly or replaced when required - as they are soft for bub they will wear easier but at that price its not an issue. Immediately accepted by bub at 7 months olf, soft teat, so affordable at $10 for a two pack and amazing customer service.
Lifesaver! – My son started rejecting his Philips Avent bottle when he turned three months (he's been a breastfed baby with the occasional bottle). According to my research, quite a few bubs reject the bottle around this age. Whilst I appreciated knowing he wasn't the only one, I was still a complete stress bucket. Imagine - I couldn't even leave the house… Read more
for a breather. Not to mention the fact that I had to return to work in a couple of months.
I tried the nuk bottles - no success. I even imported some bottles from th UK!
A mum i know recommended I switch to pigeon bottles (apparently her lactation consultant told her their teats most closely resemble nipples). I made the switch and have been grateful since. I have looked at the teat closely and hazard it's the ridges that regulate the flow which make these teats winners for our fuss-pot babies.
the mum who suggested I try pigeon actually uses the pigeon slim neck teats for her daughter. I mention this to highlight that each baby is different but it does seem as though this company has tried to cover the field.
Thank you Pigeon! Got my son drinking from the bottle again!

Lifesaver !!! – My breastfed baby would not take anything else. I tried for 6 months a lot of different types - NUK, tommee tippee, avent etc even the sippy cup NUK but no luck. We tried this and she took to it straight away. We reclined her a bit more than we had been previously so maybe that helped a bit, but you can tell she is latching perfectly. Thank you Pigeon! Will be recommending these to everyone now. Show details
Breastfeed baby took to it instantly – I have been trying to Find a bottle that my baby would drink from. I thought there was no hope for me. I tried this and she took to it instantly. Must have for any breastfeeding mother. Show details
Best Bottle – My son has used this wide neck bottle along with a Y cut teat for almost a year until he switched to a straw cup. He has already tried other brand's bottles but he was happiest with pigeon bottles. I will use this brand again for my second baby and will try the slim neck next this time. I think that pigeon's Y cut (variable teat) made the difference. :) Show details

Bottle markings are wrong! – My daughter has always been a fusing drinker, doesn’t drink much and suffers from very bad wind. We’ve always used pigeon from day one as Baby Bunting suggested them. As we have to track her intake I decided to mark the 10ml, 20ml etc. on the bottle to ensure we’re tracking accurately and to my shock the wide neck bottles are 10ml out. For 3… Read more
months we’ve been filling the bottles and what we thought was 90ml but in fact it has only been 80ml. This is very dangerous and Pigeon need to fix this!!!
Volume markings are WRONG! – Baby loves to drink from bottle but she had a long term constipation problem. We thought we check to see if the volume markings are correct and they are wrong. The volume to formula ratio was always off. If you use these bottles check the volume accuracy Show details
Poor quality that doesnt work correctly – I initially used the newborn teat with my bub while mixed feeding and once she weaned we moved up to the larger bottle with size 3 teat. These teats are pathetic, they frequently create a vacuum and collapse, they dont vent and if they do it makes heaps of bubbles unless bottle is horizontal. The flow is fast and if they work properly bub can… Read more
handle it but if not she chokes and takes a lot of wind. When i put hot water in it then a lid on it will often build up pressure and leak and make a mess in my nappy bag. Or sometimes the lid will be on properly but it leaks when mixing in the formula. She also clicks a lot when using this bottle. I would recommend to anyone to use this once weaning.

Reliable choice for our baby. The bottle is sturdy and easy to clean, while the nipple is incredibly soft and gentle perfect for newborns. Our baby latches on easily and feeds comfortably, making feeding time stress-free for both baby and parents. The design is practical, durable, and built to last, giving us peace of mind.

bought this bottle from Amazon. regarding the spec, it suits 0 month new born baby, but i found out the nipple milk flow is too fast, when the bottle is face down, the milk is leaking from the nipple. By comparing with Phillis agent, the one also for new born baby, the flow is much better than Pigeon’s. Show details
Not as Anti-Colic as you would hope – Makes zero difference in helping a new born latch on, and prevent air pass through, which then leads to gas. This bottle is actually not as good as it is hyped up to be. Despite the great reviews, if your baby has colic, this will not help. Show details
experience – My baby loves this bottle. She is having way less hiccups after the feed. Definitely the best bottle after so many that we have tried. My baby loves this one the best. Show details
Use them to know how good they are !!! Excellent bottles – My nearly 3 month old was not gaining weight as she was spending too many calories trying to get milk out of medela slow flow teats. I moved her over to medela medium flow and we had a flood at every feed and an unhappy baby who wasn’t feeding well/choking on milk . Read reviews and picked pigeon wideneck PP bottle at Chemist and can’t believe how… Read more
amazing they are. She took them in one go, finishes her bottles now and not even a single spill. She burps a lot easier and no issues with gas too. I regret not using them earlier. Thank you pigeon for saving my sanity !
Life Saver! – My 2 month old baby would choke on the other bottles tried even medela but didn't work. Pigeon SS teat was the only one that helped her. We were so relieved and happy. For babies who drink too fast the SS teat is the best. You cannot buy them separately, they come along with the 180ml bottle I think. Show details
Baby loves it – I actually got the PPSU wide neck bottle but since it is not listed I would put my review here. The bottle is great. Started bottle feeding since week 6. Began with Tomme Tippe anti colic one but it was too fast even with their slow teat my baby would choke. So I did some research and found many recommending Pigeon. Gave it a try and baby loves… Read more
it. With the 0m+ teat my baby did not choke any more. Transitioned her to the 1m+ teat when she was 2 month old, she choked at first but got used to it within two days. Then towards 3 month the teat collapsed when she was sucking, so I switched to 3m+ teat and she has no problem adapting. No more choking, and she's enjoying her teat and bottle. The anti colic valve works great, no gas issue.
Love it! – Read so many reviews before choosing pigeon. Love the bottle, son had no problems with the bottle and teat. Didn’t cause any gas for him. Wide neck bottle easy to wash and assemble and did not leak. Good flow from teats, although in Australia they only go up to size L but in Singapore I found one that was size LL for 9 months plus babies. Show details
Pigeon changed my life! – For MONTHS I could not get my breastfed baby to take a bottle, I tried every range there was until I was recommended by a friend to give Pigeon a go! FIRST go she took it and ever since then lt is all we use! Pigeon wide neck! I have also tried Piegons Silicone mat and bib and cleaning is now so much easier! The bib has different adjustments for waist and head so it will be used as my baby grows! Pigeon for life :) Show details
Great for breastfed baby – My 4 month old was exclusively breastfed and I wanted to transition to drink from a bottle. Tried medela and nuk teats but my baby refused them multiple times. Bought this and he immediately drank from it! Show details

Our only go-to bottle! – I started giving my baby a bottle of EBM at 2 weeks old and she took it first go with no hesitations. Now at 4 months old she still doesnt have any nipple confusion and happily goes from BF to bottle with no worries. She still only prefers the stage 1 teat though as she is a paced feeder. Has made life so much easier and her other family members can enjoy that special time feeding her also. Show details
No mess, less winds and a comfortable, easy grip – I love the pigeon bottle very much. Stumbled across it when I bought the electric breast pump (it came with a bottle) it made feeding so easy, so comfortable and without a mess and a fuss. Show details
My baby loves these bottles – Excellent for colic and other digestive issues, easy to wash and sterilise. Fits in most of the standard sterilisers. Wide range of teat and bottles sizes are available. A friend recommended these and glad I followed her advice!
This bottle is a life saver!!! – My 4 month old was using avent bottles and had horrible wind!! His trapped burps were the death of me, he would wake from a nap cause there was still a burp caught. It used to take up 1.5-2hrs to feed him and rock him to sleep. I changed to pigeon wide neck and I had a different baby!!! He now feeds in under 30min (I have a fussy drinker) and is… Read more
rocked to sleep in 2min!!! The process now take 30-45min!!! I also found he was over feeding on the other brand. Pigeons system of milk not flowing out unless bub is sucking is great!! No more over feeding, no coughing and spluttering anymore. He takes to this nipple like he took to the breast! As he was used to the faster flow of the old bottles I did have to start my 4month old on the 6+ month teat and now he is 6 months he is showing signs to need to upgrade to the 9+ month teat.
Best bottle out there – My picky breastfed baby took this bottle immediately. We use the SS teats and pace feed to mimic breast feeding and this bottle and teat does it best! Would recommend to anyone Show details
excessively breast feed 3 month old wasn’t taking any other bottle but this , life saving.RECCOMENED ! – Son is almost 3 months got the wide neck 3 month flow it’s perfect . I never leave reviews on anything but had to for this. Amazing satisfied with everything n Show details
Great bottle which my baby eventually took – So I brought this bottle over 6weeks ago as my exclusively breastfed 4 month old baby was now refusing a bottle. It took several attempts over the weeks but finally I am happy so say she has taken the bottle. This has now given mummy a new found sense of relief I can leave her with family for a few hours and now she will be fed. I found that… Read more
although she refused it to bring with I let her play with an empty bottle and she would attempt to pick it up and drink from it. I let her do this over several days and then when I gave it to her she began to latch and feed from it. I hope this will work for other parents who face themselves with fussy little bubs
Good customer service – We were using this bottle for our first boy and now, more than 4 years later, my daughter can still use it. Good quality. The other thing I'd like to share is the excellent customer service I had from Pigeon Austrlia (or Pigeon's distributor in AU). I dropped one of my bottle and it fell on the stairs and rolling downstairs, the bottle is fine but… Read more
the plastic ring holds the teat was broken. I emailed Pigeon, asking the place to by a spare, they send me the replacement for free! Really appreciated.
Hands down the best – The only bottle I can use with not a fast flow & also using formula thickener in my babies formula, I’ve tried many many different bottles and spent so much money and finally found this one! Easy to clean, wide neck so easy to add the formula, small and compact enough for nappy bags!
Only bottle he will use – We have both Plastic and glass wide neck bottles and he only takes Pigeon narrow neck/wide neck bottles.. We tried Avast, tommee tippee but no luck with them. Pigeon bottles are little more expensive then others, but every good product. I am going to buy more Pigeon Glass bottles to stop using any plastic bottles for baby, because glass is always safer than plastic.
Try this bottle if nothing else worked – I don’t usually write a review but I needed to say this bottle is amazing!! My daughter was drinking formula 1 or 2 times a day but suddenly she started to refuse the bottle I was using for her and tried a couple different bottles to feed her but nothing was accepted I tried pigeon bottle for the last resort and without any fuss she stated… Read more
drinking fomula that I was amazed big time! Highly recommend for people struggling to find the right bottle for your baby It will surely work on any fussy baby
Absolute beauty! – I'm new to motherhood, and as we're all aware of - things never go to plan! I planned on breastfeeding my baby boy, but turns out my boobies don't produce very much at all, so I had to turn to formula. I had been gifted Tommee Tippee (TT) bottles so I used them initially, but my lactation advisor recommended me trying out the Pigeon Wide Neck… Read more
bottles as the teat is the most similar to my nipples - I was a little hesitant to start with as I thought my bubs was already used to the TT bottles, but man was I glad that I persisted in using the Pigeon! He latches so well to them, and he hasn't had any blistering on the inside of his lips like the TT bottles gave him. I have been only using the pigeons for a few weeks now, and just yesterday I used a TT bottle and my boy did not like it at all!
I was pretty shocked, but very happy I found something that keeps my boy happy.
I absolutely recommend them :D
Perfect for breastfed babies – This bottle is a life saver as a mother of three, With my first baby, I had so much trouble to get him into bottle feeding. Tried so many types of bottles no luck. Finally found Pigeon wide neck. It’s amazing as it uses same technique for breast feeding. No mess, no fuss. Loved it and of course used it again with my other 2 children still a success to transfer from breastfeeding to bottle.
