The Pigeon SofTouch PP Nursing Bottle 160ml is a lightweight, wide-neck baby bottle designed for newborns and small, frequent feeds. It holds up to 160ml of expressed milk or formula and comes with an SS-size teat, making it a practical starter bottle for the early weeks. Part of Pigeon's SofTouch™ wide-neck system, it's shaped to suit parents who move between breast and bottle and want a bottle that's easy to hold and easy to clean.
The teat is where much of the thinking sits. Its round-cut opening is designed to let milk flow out gradually and consistently, and the soft, flexible silicone is designed to feel closer to the breast. Because newborns haven't yet developed jaw strength, the SS-size teat is shaped to support their sucking ability at this stage, together with a Latch-on Line and a gently curved teat form intended to help baby settle into a good latch.
How it works
- Wide-neck teat design: The broad, curved teat and Latch-on Line are designed to encourage a fuller latch, based on Pigeon's long-running research into how babies suck at the breast.
- Round-cut opening: The teat opening is cut to release milk gradually and consistently, suited to newborns still building their feeding coordination.
- Anti-Colic System: An air-vent system is built into the teat and designed to minimise the air baby swallows during a feed.
- Breast-to-bottle switching: The softness and elasticity of the teat aim to feel closer to the breast, to help babies move between breast and bottle more smoothly.
Materials and safety
The bottle is made from durable, lightweight polypropylene (PP) that includes 20% bio-based plastic (Biomass-PP), certified under the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC) mass-balance scheme. It is BPA- and BPS-free, so it's suitable for holding breast milk and formula.
How to use
Wash thoroughly and sterilise before first use and after every use. To assemble:
- Insert the teat into the top of the bottle cap/collar.
- Press down firmly to check the teat is secure and sits evenly.
- Press to make sure the air-ventilation system opens.
- Screw the collar onto the bottle.
Rinse promptly after feeds, sterilise daily, and replace any teat that shows thinning, cracks or discolouration to keep things hygienic.
Best for
The Pigeon SofTouch PP Nursing Bottle 160ml is a great option for parents who:
- Want a starter-size bottle for small, frequent newborn feeds from 0 months
- Are combination feeding and want a wide-neck teat shaped to support switching between breast and bottle
- Prefer a lightweight bottle that's easy to hold and simple to clean
It may not be the best fit if you're looking for a larger-capacity bottle for an older baby with a higher intake, though the SS teat can be swapped as feeding needs change.
Pandylane Pro Tip: Age-adjustable SofTouch Peristaltic Plus teats are available separately, so you can move up through the flow sizes as your baby grows rather than buying new bottles. If you'd like to pump directly into this bottle, many pumps work with wide-neck adaptors — check your pump brand's guidance to confirm compatibility.
