Haakaa Gen 3 Silicone Baby Bottle

The Haakaa Gen 3 Silicone Baby Bottle is a soft, wide-neck feeding bottle made from 100% food-grade silicone, holding 250ml. It's built to be easy for little hands to grip, and because the silicone is impact-resistant, you can encourage independent feeding without the worry that comes with a dropped glass or hard plastic bottle. It arrives ready to feed with a variable flow nipple, a clear PP cap that keeps the teat covered between uses, an attachment ring and a handle for the 250ml model.

What sets this bottle apart is its multifunctional design. The same silicone base is compatible with the Haakaa Gen 3 Breast Pump flange and the wider range of Haakaa silicone bottle attachments (each sold separately), so a quick twist of the top lets you swap the nipple for a different top as your baby's needs change. That means one bottle body can carry you from expressing directly into the bottle, through bottle feeds, and on toward solids and cup transitions.

A feeding system that adapts as your baby grows

Rather than replacing the whole bottle at each stage, you change the top. The optional attachments include the Haakaa breast pump flange for expressing straight into the bottle, a feeding spoon dispenser for when your baby starts on solids, a sippy spout to help an independent toddler move from bottle to cup, and a sealing disk for storing leftover milk or food. It's a useful approach if you'd like fewer separate items in the cupboard and a bottle that keeps up with each new phase.

How it works

• Soft silicone nipple: The naturally-shaped nipple is designed to closely mimic breastfeeding, which can help babies who move between breast and bottle.
• Dual anti-colic vents: Two vents are designed to reduce unwanted air intake during feeds. As with any anti-colic design, this describes how the bottle is built rather than a guarantee about gas or colic for a particular baby.
• Ultra-wide neck: The wide opening lets you reach inside to clear milk residue, so thorough cleaning is easier and often possible without a bottle brush.

How to use and care for it

Clean the bottle after each use. Haakaa recommends cleaning and sterilising it with a steam sterilising system or by boiling in water for 3–5 minutes. A few things to keep in mind to protect the bottle's lifespan:

• Do not boil the PP nipple ring.
• Do not use UV sterilisers, as they may shorten the bottle's lifespan.
• Avoid bleach-based agents and sterilising tablets.
• Use only soft bristle brushes or soft sponges, as hard scourers can scratch the surface.
• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Best For

The Haakaa Gen 3 Silicone Baby Bottle is a great option for parents who:

• Want a soft, impact-resistant bottle that suits little hands learning to self-feed
• Already use, or plan to use, the Haakaa Gen 3 Breast Pump and would like to express directly into the bottle
• Prefer one adaptable bottle body they can extend with attachments as their baby moves toward solids and cups
• Value an ultra-wide neck for easier cleaning
