In one of my recent posts, I mentioned my Breastfeeding journey and have always looked for breast milk storage options in the form of bottles from which we can directly feed our baby.
I wish this would have existed when I started my breastfeeding journey 7 years back, it would have been easier for me to juggle between work and feeding.A couple of weeks back when I saw the product launch of “Hegen” baby bottles here in Singapore, the first thing which struck me was its design.
Brainchild and founder of Hegen, Yvon Bock a super mom of four kids understands how challenging the breastfeeding journey can be. Designed to minimize spillage and wastage- making every drop count and maximizing the goodness that can be drawn from nature’s gift.
Hegen’s newest revolutionary Press-to-close, Twist-to-Open(PCTO) innovative bottle is the world’s first baby bottle without a screw neck, allowing parents to easily press on and twist the bottle lid with zero spillage.
Did you notice the thumb depressions and non-slip dots on the bottle cap to open the lid with a single press and twist? Its square-shaped design and wide mouth are really helpful you can just change the lid to store or feed else mix your milk powder easily(if formula feeding) and for cleaning even if you don’t have too long a bottle brush.
I believe all parents especially new parents will agree to it that feeding a baby in the middle of the night with half asleep many times find it difficult to twist and close the bottle. This unique feature of one-hand closure for bottles is so convenient for parents. Another important feature which all parents look for is an anti-colic bottle and the Hegen bottle comes with Bulit-in-Anti-colic- air vent.
One thing which I totally adore in Hegen bottles is its soft asymmetrical and elliptical-shaped teat which mimics the mother’s breast, enhancing the latch-on naturally. I don’t know why no one ever thought of having teats in this shape instead of having them in the centre of the bottle. You always feed babies by holding or resting them on one arm and feeding from the other hand so the bottle shape should be at that angle only. I find that with this style there is less spilling of milk from the bottle.
The good thing about these breastmilk storage bottles is that with the snap-on interconnecting lids you can combine all the bottles and stack them together in your refrigerator for storing breastmilk. The bottle has got clear visible measuring markers so easy for anyone to take out the bottle with exact breastmilk.
Well! My little girl has just moved on from breastfeeding and is more inclined towards self-feeding. I have transformed my storage bottles into easy-to-go-on-snacks-containers with her favourite snacks to munch on. The squarish shape and wide neck help the tiny hands to go inside the container to take out the snacks. I can snap them together to keep them inside my handbag.
You can stack it horizontally or vertically also and it will be close to 300ml whichever way is convenient for you. It has got soft and square shape for ergonomic hold and stability which is perfect for little hands.

Thank You Hegen for sponsoring it to Mums&babies for review purposes and my girl absolutely loved it. I loved the sweet little note from your team.
Thanks for sharing! I love the unique shape of the bottle, will share this with my friends 😉
Interesting brand and products. I wish I knew about them while my son was a toddler 🙂
This sounds fancy. It looks like it does a great job.
Ooooh these Hegen bottles sound great! I would love to own some since I'm a breastfeeding mom myself. But I don't think this brand is available in Manila.
Interesting! Considering having one of these for my baby! haha 😀 Just saw this now and quite impressive according to your write up. 😀 Great products!
This is so awesome, I wish I knew about this when I was nursing the twins. Hegen looks so reliable!
Oh, this is perfet. My sister- in-law just gave birth. I will share this article with her
It's great for moms and very easy to use. Well, this is new idea for feeding bottle. Worldwide mothers could utilize this feeding bottle for good.
These are very well designed bottles indeed. Would be lovely for school going kids too.
I'll look for a bottle like this for my niece. It looks more convenient for them.
I haven't seen this brand so far in the UK, but it seem great. I love the square shape and that you can still get accessories to compliment.
One hand close? This is a great product conveniently made for the mom and the child. The design looks very nice with the white lids and all that. Unfortunately, I don't think we have this brand here in our country.
This is a bit fancy for us. Good when you have the budget for it. Back when my kids were still babies, we used basic bottles of good brands, and we all got by good.
I love the adorable storage bottles! It make keeping things look fun too… not sure why, just the feeling it gave me!
I have a lot of difficulty with screw cap bottles, so this one is definitely godsend. I especially like the thumb imprint because it gives the person a better grip on the cap.
I love the adorable storage bottles,glass baby bottle reviews
