Baby Products: your questions answered

What do US baby product terms mean?
Many US baby products use different names. Diapers are nappies, pacifiers are dummies, nipples are bottle teats, sippy cups are toddler cups and onesies are bodysuits. Sizes are often given in pounds and ounces, so check the weight or age range on each pack. The packaging will show the original US wording.
How do I check a baby product is right for my child's age?
Look for the age stage or weight range on the pack, especially for teats, dummies, cups and toys. These ranges reflect size, flow and design, so moving to the next stage too early or too late can make a product less suitable. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for assembly, use and cleaning, and check items regularly for wear or damage.
What materials are baby feeding and teething products made from?
Most bottles, cups and dummies are made from food-grade silicone, polypropylene or glass, with some dummies and teethers in natural rubber. Silicone is soft, flexible and easy to clean; glass doesn't hold smells or stain; natural rubber feels softer, but avoid it if anyone in the family has a latex allergy. Many bottles and cups are also labelled BPA-free; check the pack for the materials used.
How do I put together a changing kit?
A simple kit includes nappies in the right size, wipes, a changing mat or disposable liners, nappy bags and a nappy cream. Add a spare outfit, a muslin and a small bag for wet clothes when you're out. Keep everything together in one caddy or bag, and never leave a baby unattended on a raised changing surface, even for a moment.
