How it works

The GentleBottle teether handle snaps onto the bottle and adds grippable side rails, giving small hands something to hold on a bottle too wide to grip bare. Between feeds, its textured silicone ring works as a teether to soothe gums.

Why parents choose it

  • Snap-on side rails sized for baby palms
  • Textured ring soothes gums as a teether between feeds
  • Gives small hands a grip on a bottle too wide to hold bare
  • One handle fits all GentleBottles

Who it is for

Good fit for
  • A baby starting to hold their own bottle. It fits all GentleBottles.
  • A newborn stage product, tagged 0 to 6 months and teething.
  • A GentleBottle owner who wants a gum-relief surface on the bottle already in use.
Not right for
  • Anyone without a GentleBottle.
  • A standalone teether. This attaches to a bottle.
  • A baby not yet reaching for or gripping the bottle.

Side handles sized for baby palms encourage self-holding at the bottle, and a silicone teether ring nearby is far better than baby chewing the nipple.

Why Olababy

Every feeding product is one material, food-grade silicone, soft enough for gums that are still teething and inert enough to go through a dishwasher for years. The panel above names what is in it and what is kept out of it.

Olababy has designed in Portland, Oregon since 2015, with parents testing the things their own children eat from.

More about this one

When can my baby hold their own bottle?

The GentleBottle teether handle is made for the 0 to 6 months stage, for a baby who has started reaching for and gripping the bottle. Its side rails are sized for baby palms, so small hands have something to hold on a bottle that is too wide to grip on its own. For a baby not yet reaching for the bottle, the handle can wait.

Is the ring safe to chew?

Chewing is what the ring is for. The textured silicone ring on the GentleBottle teether handle is designed to work as a teether between feeds, giving gums a textured surface on the bottle already in use. The whole handle, ring included, is food-grade silicone.

What is included

1 teether handle. It fits all GentleBottles.

How to clean it

Dishwasher safe (top rack).

    These handles are such a game changer! My little is 5m and has started grabbing the handles and holding his bottle!

    Happy With Bottles

    I was looking for a safe alternative to glass bottles now that my son is getting older. They are easy to clean and safe for my son to hold on his own. I definitely plan on purchasing a few more.

    Hole not large enough, bottle has huge suction issues

    Our bottle's nipple hole is not large enough for water to pass through. We have all tried multiple ways of getting water out and it is extremely difficult. Furthermore, any kind of sucking or squeezing of the bottle only creates huge indentations in the bottle as weird air pressure issues inside the bottle begin to cause the lid to leak out of the side of the bottle. Needless to say, this has not been a good purchase and we've already put it in the cupboard likely never to be used again. A real bummer.

When can a baby start baby led weaning?

The American Academy of Pediatrics says babies are usually ready to start solid foods at around 6 months, and that some infants may be ready as early as 4 months. It adds that each child's readiness depends on their own rate of development.

Why does letting a baby feed themselves matter?

Leslie Schilling, a registered dietitian nutritionist and co-author of a book on baby led weaning, writes in Today's Dietitian that self feeding is a natural first step that can build feeding confidence and oral skills, and can help prevent overfeeding.

Does baby led weaning help a baby learn when they are full?

Laura Lucas, a senior clinical dietitian at Texas Children's Hospital, says one of the main benefits of baby led weaning is that it helps babies learn to recognise their own satiety levels, and that with proper handling and supervision it is safe for most babies who are developmentally ready.

What skills is a baby practising when they feed themselves?

Kimberly Churbock, a physician writing for Cleveland Clinic, describes a baby picking up a piece of food, bringing it to their mouth, manipulating it, chewing and swallowing, and notes that all of those actions require fine motor skills and oral motor skills.

What if my baby is unsure about a new texture?

Amy Klein, an occupational therapist at Cincinnati Children's, writes that for a baby who is not sure about a new taste or texture, self feeding gives them control to manipulate it in their mouth and swallow it or not, and that it also aids hand eye coordination.
