I don’t remember where I first heard about Bottle Pets but I remember thinking, “Wow, that is such a cute idea! Why didn’t I think of that?!” I didn’t have a baby at the time but I automatically knew it would be fun and I’m so glad that I’ve finally got the chance to try them! Bottle Pets are these cuddly little stuffed animals that wrap around your baby’s bottle as they’re drinking. They are easy to put on, just slide your bottle into them, like a sleeve!

“Milo, the monkey” joined our mini zoo recently and my older kids were pretty jealous that the baby gets one of these sweet little guys! So I must include that I think Bottle Pets would be great for sippy cups and just playing with, too! We got ours for our upcoming tiny bundle of joy, knowing that it would encourage the baby to hold the bottle, which I like to try when they’re a bit older! Since it’s insulating, it will keep the baby’s milk warmer than just a plain old boring bottle would!

Aside from helping babies to learn to hold the bottle, I like that Bottle Pets also help babies develop early hand-eye coordination skills. Baby can look into the eyes of their snuggly stuffed bulldog as they drink their milk. It should ease the transition to and from bottle-feeding because it’s enjoyable and unique, different than any of their other feeding situations. Because of this, I imagine that they’ll be quite attached to their little buddy for a long time!

Luckily, Bottle Pets are machine-washable and durable, for all of those messy situations and to withstand the chewing that Junior might put it through! Don’t worry, they’re 100% safe with an ASTM safety approval and lead-free!

 

(I really wanted to include this beautiful picture of a Bottle Pets-loving baby off of their website because it made me so unbelievably excited for my little cutie to come!)

Bottle Pets fits most bottles and that includes wider ones, which you can see because all I have on-hand right now is a small, wide bottle to show you. With certain things, I’m terribly unprepared for the new baby, don’t judge me. Haha! Bottle Pets are such charming friends to have for your babies, toddlers, and even preschoolers. Make it a toy (plus, feeding help) to last!
