Pigeon SofTouch T-Ester Decorated Bottle 160ml

The Pigeon SofTouch T-Ester Decorated Bottle is a wide-neck baby bottle made from T-Ester, an innovative material exclusive to Pigeon that offers premium, glass-like clarity so you can see the milk clearly while you feed. Unlike many plastic bottles, T-Ester has a high resistance to UV degradation, which makes it well-suited to cleaning in a UV steriliser. It's part of Pigeon's SofTouch™ wide-neck system, designed to help babies move between breast and bottle using the same natural sucking motion they use at the breast.

This bottle comes with a Round-hole teat, which has a round-cut opening that lets milk flow out consistently and gradually. The Round size is intended for newborns (0+ months): it has a smaller tip and a softness and elasticity that Pigeon designs to sit close to a mother's nipple. Newborns are still developing their jaw muscles, so the teat is shaped to support their sucking ability at this early stage.

What makes T-Ester different

T-Ester gives the bottle a clear, glass-like finish that makes it easy to monitor volumes and check for residue, without the weight or breakability of glass. Its resistance to UV means it holds up to UV sterilising, so you have another cleaning option alongside the methods you already use.

How it works

• Breast-to-bottle mimicry: The SofTouch™ teat is developed to functionally mimic the feeding movements babies make at the breast, which is designed to support mums who want to feed from both breast and bottle.
• Latch-on line: The soft teat carries a research-based latch-on line to guide where baby latches onto the teat.
• Air vent system: An advanced air vent system is designed to minimise the air baby swallows during a feed. Pigeon describes this as anti-colic; that reflects the design intention rather than a promise about how any individual baby will feed.
• Round-cut opening: The round-cut teat opening is shaped to release milk gradually and consistently, suited to a newborn's developing suck.

Cleaning and handling

Because it's a wide-neck bottle, there's easy access for a brush to reach the base and sides. The teat and collar are part of Pigeon's SofTouch™ system, so replacements and different flow sizes within that system can be fitted as your baby's feeding changes.

Best for

The Pigeon SofTouch T-Ester Decorated Bottle is a great option for parents who:

• Are combination feeding and want a bottle designed to complement breastfeeding
• Have a newborn (0+ months) and need a slower, round-cut teat flow
• Prefer the clarity of glass but want something lighter, in a UV-steriliser-friendly material

It may not be the best fit if you:

• Have an older baby who has outgrown a newborn Round-hole flow and needs a faster teat
• Prefer a slim, narrow-neck bottle system

Pandylane Pro Tip: Teat flow should follow your baby's feeding ability, not just their age. If feeds start to seem too slow — long, effortful sessions or frustration at the teat — it may be time to move up to the next SofTouch™ flow size within the same system.

Persistent feeding difficulty, discomfort or concerns about your baby's intake are always worth raising with a health professional.
