Getting The Most Out Of Your Chuubub Bottles
Milk Bottle FAQs
1. What is the bottle made of?
Chuubub bottles are made from high-quality borosilicate glass, encased in a permanently bonded food-grade silicone sleeve for added durability and grip.
2. What sizes do the bottles come in?
We currently offer:
- 150ml: ideal for newborns and smaller feeds (0+months)
- 240ml: Perfect for growing babies and toddlers (6+months)
3. Why glass bottles?
We prefer Glass as it is plastic free and does not contain BPA, BPS, and other harmful chemicals. It is non-reactive and will not leach into milk, even when heated.
4. Is the bottle heavy?
Our bottles are made with lightweight borosilicate glass. The silicone sleeve adds grip without increasing much weight, making it easy to use.
5. Is the silicone sleeve removable?
The sleeve is permanently bonded for added safety, impact protection and is soft to the touch.
6. Can I use a UV steriliser with the bottle?
Yes. Chuubub bottles are compatible with most common sterilisation methods such as UV, steam, boiling and chemical sterilisation.
The bottle is made from durable borosilicate glass which is unaffected by UV. The outer sleeve is made from food-grade silicone and under repeated UV exposure, it will naturally show signs of material aging such as looking a little more matte or feeling less smooth. This is normal and does not affect the safety and performance of the bottle.
7. How long should the bottle be boiled if I am using the Boiling method to sterilise?
You can sterilise Chuubub bottles by boiling them in water for about 3-5 minutes. Disassemble all parts and make sure they are fully submerged. Remove and let it air dry completely on a clean surface.
8. Is the bottle dishwasher safe?
Yes. Both the glass bottle and silicone sleeve are dishwasher safe (top rack recommended).
9. Is the bottle shatter-proof?
Our SiliGlass Milk Bottle is designed to handle everyday knocks and minor drops better than typical glass baby bottles. A protective silicone outer layer surrounds the glass body to cushion impact, reducing the chance of breakage.
While stronger than typical glass bottles, like all glass products, the bottle may still break if dropped from a significant height or subjected to strong impact. If breakage occurs, the silicone layer can help hold the glass pieces together for added safety.
10. How often should I replace the bottle?
Chuubub glass bottles do not need to be replaced regularly like plastic bottles. Due to the nature of borosilicate glass being highly durable and sustainable, as long as the glass and silicone sleeve are in good condition (no cracks, chips or damage), they can be used long-term and need not be replaced.
11. Which breast pump is the bottle compatible with?
Our bottles are compatible with the Spectra Breastpump.
Bottle Teat FAQs
1. What is the teat made of?
Chuubub SiliSkin Comfort Teat is made of food-grade LSR silicone.
2. What are the sizes of the teat?
- Stage 0 (0+months): Extra Slow flow
- Stage 1 (3+months): Slow flow
- Stage 2 (6+months): Medium flow
3. Is the teat anti-colic?
Yes the teats have an anti-colic air vent to reduce the amount of air baby swallows in order to minimise gas and discomfort.
4. Is your teat compatible with other bottles?
Chuubub teats are designed specifically for our bottles. Compatibility with otherwide-neck bottles may vary and is not guaranteed.
5. My baby seems to be feeding slower or faster than expected. Is this normal?
Yes. Every baby feeds differently, and there is no universal teat flow rate that suits every baby.
Our teat stages are designed as a general guide based on age and developmental milestones, but babies may have different sucking strengths and feeding preferences. Some babies may find a teat flow too slow, while others may find the same teat flow just right.
We recommend observing your baby's feeding cues and choosing the teat stage that allows them to feed comfortably.
6. How often should I replace the teat?
The teat should be replaced every 2-3 months or sooner if you notice swelling, stickiness, or tears.
