NUK First Choice Temperature Control Non-Spill Learner Bottle

The NUK First Choice Temperature Control Non-Spill Learner Bottle is a soft-spout learner cup made to help your baby move from breast or bottle feeding towards drinking on their own. Designed for little ones aged 6 to 18 months, it holds 150 ml and pairs an extra-wide silicone spout with easy-grip handles, so those first independent sips feel familiar while your baby practises holding, coordinating and self-feeding.

What sets this learner bottle apart is the built-in NUK Temperature Control indicator on the side of the bottle. The blue display turns white when the contents are too hot, and a medium blue tone shows around the 37°C mark — a quick visual check that takes the guesswork out of busy moments and night feeds. It's a small detail that offers real reassurance before you hand the bottle over.

A soft spout for the switch from breast or bottle

The soft silicone spout is 20% wider than conventional spouts, which gives a gentler, more natural drinking sensation — particularly helpful for babies who were previously breastfed and are being introduced to independent drinking slowly. The spout is designed to be spill-proof while still allowing a comfortable flow, and both the spout and bottle materials are tasteless and odourless, so the only flavour your baby notices comes from the drink itself.

Built for little hands learning to drink

Two soft, ergonomic handles are sized for small hands to grip easily, encouraging your baby to take the lead and supporting motor-skill development along the way. An anti-slip base helps the bottle stay stable on surfaces, reducing accidental tipping during those early learning attempts. Because it's designed as a non-spill bottle, it also travels well in a nappy bag when you're out and about.

How it Works

• Temperature Control indicator: The normally blue display along the side turns white when the drink is too hot, giving you an at-a-glance temperature check before each feed.
• Anti-Colic Air System: The integrated valve is designed to allow uninterrupted, breast-like drinking and to help reduce the air baby swallows during feeds.

Easy to clean and part of the First Choice system

Made from lightweight, durable, BPA-free polypropylene (PP), the bottle is boil-proof and built for everyday use. Its wide neck makes filling and cleaning straightforward, and it comes apart into its individual parts — screw ring, protective cap, closing disc and spout — so you can clean and sterilise it thoroughly. As part of the NUK First Choice system, it's compatible with all other First Choice components, so you can swap spouts, teats and accessories as your baby grows rather than replacing the whole bottle.

Best For

The NUK First Choice Temperature Control Non-Spill Learner Bottle is a great option for parents who:

• Are starting the move from breast or bottle feeding to independent drinking
• Want a soft silicone spout that's gentle on baby's gums during the early transition
• Would find an at-a-glance temperature check useful during feeds
• Already use NUK First Choice bottles and want to build on the same system

It may not be the best fit if:

• Your baby's teeth have come through and they now bite the spout — a bite-resistant hard spout with a similar shape is designed to carry the transition on from here

Pandylane Pro Tip: If you already have NUK First Choice feeding bottles, you can turn one into a learner cup simply by adding the NUK First Choice silicone spout and handles — a handy way to reuse what you have as your baby moves towards independent drinking.

Before first use, place in boiling water for 5 minutes using plenty of water to avoid damage, then clean thoroughly and sterilise before every further use. Always dismantle the bottle into its component parts for boiling or steam-sterilising.
