These pre made bottles were an absolute life saver in the early days with a newborn! They are very little so you don't waste milk (newborns drink such small amounts!) and come with a pre-sterilised teat in a sealed packet which can be opened and attached to the pre made bottle when you need it. If you keep the screw top for each bottle they can also be stored in the fridge for 24 hours and used at a later time. I was stuck in hospital with my little boy for nearly 2 weeks when he was born and these bottles were fantastic! Meant I didn't need to keep using the ward steriliser and had a store of ready made bottles on hand. Super to keep a few in the changing bag for emergencies too. They are a little on the expensive side but as a short term solution they are excellent!
All ready and prepared for you. A good size so not to waste too much product.

We took two boxes of these into hospital with us. Used them initially until my milk came in as my little one was beside herself hungry by day four.
The bottles are perfect. No hassle or fuss, already to go. The teats are in separate sterile wrapping so you just need to open and screw onto the milk bottles. No worrying about sterilising the bottles before hand. The pre-made formula is just the same as the first milk from aptamil and my Little one guzzled it down. Absolute life saver in the wee hours of the night with a ravenous baby.
Most hospital policy now is you have to bring your own feeding equipment. Instead of having to carry bottles and powdered formula we opted for the aptamil ready to go.
What a god send!!! The product is already mixed and comes in a sterile container. The teat is lovely and soft for a new born, the bottle is easy to tell what has been drank.
We found them that beneficial in hospital we bought some for home on discharge while we where finding out feet. Would definitely recommend to family and friends.
We packed these for our hospital bag!
So easy to use and so convenient, the teat comes sterilised and all you need to do is peel the seal off and screw onto bottle.
We went through a lot of bottles at the hospital as we had to stay in for 4 days so these were perfect for those little first feeds.
Wouldn’t recommend for anything other than the hospital as they only last an hour once opened.
Can be quite expensive too so not worth buying more than what you’ll need for your hospital stay.
Easy to prepare and save time making up bottles when in hospital or out with baby
Weaknesses:
Not enough in one box.

I took these into hospital with me when I went into labour so that I had easy access to food for my baby once she was born. They are great to take in even if you plan on breastfeeding, just in case it doesn't go to plan. All the tests a sterilised ready to be added to the bottle and hold an ample amount of milk for a newborn baby. Would definitely take with me again if I have anymore children.
I have always used aptamil for my little boy and it suited him perfect these grenade bottles came in handy with us the only downside is the price of the powder etc just for the milk
I was in hospital for 5 days after I had my little girl so I had to buy quite a few boxes of these. I think there great for quickness and convenience but found they were extremely expensive and because they don’t last long they cost me a lot of money for how much I was wasting.
We brought this starter pack for our hospital bag as I knew our baby was going to be formula fed. It was a godsend everything you need all in one box and ready to go it was a lifesaver and one less thing to worry about when it was getting closer to the day.
I wanted to breast feed my daughter but she wouldn’t take to me and I lost my appetite after she was born, so these were amazing as at least she managed to get some food down her!
I breastfeed but I occasionally find my self in situations where I can't so I always keep a bottle in my bag just in case. These were great when she was newborn and fantastic for hospital bag just in case breast didn't work. I now keep a bottle and a ready to use milk just in case.
I used these in the hospital as I wasn’t able to breastfeed and it was quick and easy and my little one took to them straight away.
We also use them on a day out at a safari park as she needed feed around the safari part and couldn’t warm her bottle up so it was easy and quick to prep and feed my little one when she needed feeding.
Already sterilised and ready to use, quick and convenient
Weaknesses:
Expensive and a lot of waste for new borns

I’m so glad I took this into hospital with me prior to the birth of my son. I developed gestational diabetes towards the very end of my pregnancy, as a result, my son had to be fed and have his blood sugar tested within an hour of giving birth. I had complications during labour, and I was unable to give my son his first feed. Luckily he could have this milk and have his blood sugar tested. I chose to mix feed for the first few days and this helped- there is a lot of waste for new new born babies as they don’t drink enough to have the whole bottle within the time ( mine didn’t anyway !) they are also expensive, but a must for me for those first few days.
These where bought for me whilst I was in hospital as the hospital no longer supplies milk. It was perfect for what I needed as I had to stay in hospital a little longer due to complications.
Would recommend these as a must in your baby bag if you plan on bottle feeding. They save a lot of time and are easy and quick to use. Not a bad price for these. Quick and easy for when in the go.
These were a lifesaver in hospital when little one couldn’t latch so we had to bottle feed. Having these in the hospital bag ready to use was great. You just screw on the teat and go. The bottles are small so little is wasted but you can put into the fridge once opened to preserve their life a little longer. Can be an expensive way of feeding, but also invaluable when in hospital or even on the go.
We used these in hospital. So easy to use and really convenient. Comes with small teat per bottle which is excellent for new borns. Only weakness is they are quite expensive.
Was great to use in hospital during nights. Already made; easy to use; bottles already sterilised; once opened must be used within 1hour. Unfortunately quite expensive!
I used this product having my second baby and it’s been a life saver easy to prepare in the middle of the night whilst tired just expensive 7.95 for 6 bottles.
I took these in hospital with me as I had to stay in for 2 days, the teats are a bit big so I had to use different ones also theyre very pricet but these little pre made bottles even come in handy for days out or lazy nights!
I used these when I went into hospital with my daughter. They were easy to do and didn’t take much room.
Because I had c section I was in hospital for over 24hrs which meant it was quite costly. But definitely is handy when in hospital or out and about.
Can only keep for an hour, so if baby only feeds 20mls, to a bit of a waste..

Love the product. Quick and easy, already prepared for hospital stays. I had a cesarean so came in handy!
Only weakness is that because my boy is premature he can only manage 20mls and bottles can only be kept for an hour after opening so the rest goes to waste.. obviously not their fault! But worth mentioning :)
I have used these to take to the hospital with my last two children.
They are so handy when baby is newborn and you can just open them put the teat on and feed no need to take bottles, formula or steriliser.
They are expensive but we'll worth it for those first few days weeks.
This product saved me the first few days after having my little one as I was not prepared with having my steriliser set up, had 3 boxes of them to get me from first feed to confident bottle making mummy.
I breastfeed my daughter but from day 2 she has been given one bottle of formula at night. I used these ready made bottles for the first week or so and they were brilliant to have to hand when I hadn't produced enough milk by the end of the day. It meant my baby wasn't left crying. You just open them and there ready to go perfect for those stressful first weeks! Only negative was they were quite pricey but for the convenience they were worth it.
It was easy to use, and store. While at the hospital, it was difficult with my c section. The ready made milk took some if the stress off. It's ready and all you need to do it heat it. Easy on the go too, and baby was feeding well on it. It was getting expensive so then changed to normal powdered formula.
