A list of the equipment you will need if you choose to formula feed.
What equipment do I need for making formula: Video transcript [1]
You will need feeding bottles and teats with caps, collars and sealing discs.
You will also need a bottle brush and a teat brush, kitchen tongs, and sterilising equipment (necessary for the first 6 months).
Not all baby bottles have accurate volume lines (measure marks) on them. To check that the lines on your bottles are accurate, look for the standard mark EN14350 on the bottle or packaging, or take your bottles to a pharmacy and ask a staff member to check if the bottles are accurate.
