Questions answered

Which bottle? How many? Do I really need a formula machine? These are the questions I get asked more than any other, usually by a new mum standing in the baby aisle feeling completely overwhelmed.

I bottle fed both my babies, ten years apart, and tried five different types of bottles along the way. This guide is everything I learnt: how each bottle works, what it's designed for, and my honest rating out of 5. No brand names, no sponsored picks, just what worked for us and what didn't.

However your baby ends up being fed, there's nothing to be ashamed of. This guide is here to make bottle feeding feel a little less confusing and a lot more supported.

These guides share general information based on current Australian guidance, along with our own lived experience. They aren't medical advice and don't replace the advice of a health professional. Always talk to your GP, midwife or child health nurse about your own situation and your baby.

Guidance is updated from time to time, so we review our guides regularly. If we update your guide, we'll email you the new version.

Because our guides are digital downloads you can access straight away, we're not able to offer refunds for change of mind.

If there's a problem with your guide, like a file that won't download, won't open or isn't what was described, contact us and we'll fix it, replace it or refund you. This doesn't affect your rights under Australian Consumer Law.

The last line of the refunds row matters. Under Australian Consumer Law you can refuse change-of-mind refunds, but you can't say "no refunds" outright. Customers are still entitled to a remedy if a product is faulty or not as described, and that wording covers you.
