What does PP and PPSU mean?
PP and PPSU refers to the type of plastic the bottle is made from. Select between the two based on budget and anticipated level of usage.
PP stands for polypropylene. Bottles made from PP are light in weight, slightly opaque in colour and intended for low to regular use.
PPSU stands for polyphenylsulfone. It is a medical grade plastic that is naturally honey toned and quite hard wearing. Intended for higher use.
Are your bottles BPA and BPS free?
Yes, all Pigeon bottles are free of BPA and BPS. They are also free of formaldehyde and phthalate.
What is the difference in the openings of the different teat sizes?
In an SS and S teat, the teat opening is a round hole. This means that if you hold the bottle upside down, milk will drip out without any sucking needed. This is perfect for young babies who have little jaw development yet as they don’t have to work too hard to get their milk.
In the M, L and LL teats, the opening is a crosscut. This means that if you hold the bottle upside down no milk will drip out, as the baby is required to suck on the teat in order to open the cross cut tip. This is perfect for babies as they get older and have stronger jaw muscles. A cross-cut also enables a baby to vary the flow of milk themselves – the harder they suck, the larger the cross-cut opens.
Do Pigeon bottles come with teats? If so, what size are they?
