When it comes to the big milestones - transitioning to a bottle, introducing solids, moving to a highchair - the brands and products you choose make a genuine difference. We stock trusted names that Australian parents rely on: from the practicality of everyday silicone bibs to the durability of well-designed highchairs that last through multiple children. Everything in our feeding range is BPA-free and complies with Australian safety standards.
What to look for in baby feeding products
Baby bottles - Look for bottles with an anti-colic vent system if your baby is prone to wind, and a slow-flow teat for newborns. Some brands are designed to mimic breastfeeding for combination-fed babies - if you are moving between breast and bottle, this can make a significant difference.
Highchairs - A good highchair is adjustable, easy to clean, and stable. Removable trays, wipeable seat pads, and footrests are features that genuinely improve daily life. Consider whether you want a full highchair or a booster seat if space is limited.
Bibs for solids - Silicone bibs with a food-catching pocket are the most practical for messy solid-food feeding. Long-sleeved bibs offer even more coverage. For younger babies who dribble, soft fabric dribble bibs are more comfortable for all-day wear.
Cups and drink bottles - Transitioning from bottle to cup usually happens from around six months with a sippy cup, progressing to a straw cup and eventually an open cup. Our kids drink bottles range includes options for every stage and age.
The Australian Department of Health recommends introducing solid foods at around six months, while continuing breast milk or formula as the main source of nutrition. Signs of readiness include being able to sit with support, showing interest in food, and losing the tongue-thrust reflex that causes babies to push food out of their mouth. Always consult your paediatrician or child health nurse before starting solids, especially if your baby was born prematurely.
The best highchair depends on your space, budget, and how long you want it to last. Look for a chair with a five-point harness, an adjustable footrest (important for posture during mealtimes), easy-clean surfaces, and a removable tray. If space is tight, a booster seat that attaches to a dining chair is a practical alternative. Some highchairs convert to toddler chairs and beyond, offering excellent long-term value.
Yes. All feeding products at Peekaboo Baby are BPA-free and comply with Australian safety standards. This applies to bottles, teats, sippy cups, plates, bowls, and all other products that come into contact with food or drink. We only stock from brands with a strong track record of food-safe materials.
If you are exclusively bottle feeding, having six to eight bottles on hand means you are not constantly sterilising between feeds. Newborns feed every two to three hours, so having enough bottles to get through a full day before sterilising is genuinely useful. If you are combination feeding, two to four bottles is usually sufficient to start. It is also worth trying one or two bottle styles before committing, as some babies have strong preferences.
Silicone bibs with a built-in food-catching pocket are by far the most practical choice for messy solid food feeding - they wipe clean in seconds and can go in the dishwasher. Long-sleeved bibs are excellent for messier eaters or painting-style play. For younger babies who are dribbling rather than eating, soft fabric dribble bibs in a smaller size are more comfortable for extended wear. Browse our full bibs range for options at every stage.
