question about baby bottles by grandmother

Does anyone know if anyone makes a wide necked bottle that has a travel lid that screws on to the top of the bottle so its like a jar but lid doesnt have a hole in the middle where the teat goes....does that make sense?

Avent bottles come with a plastic disc that you can put over the hole where the teat normally goes making it like a screw top jar. I think that's what you mean.

Flibbertyjibbet · 14/06/2008 23:28

Yes the Avent ones have 'sealing discs'. A little rubbery white disk that fits into the screw on neck part of the bottle. So in effect it converts the bit that usually holds the teat, into the jar lid that you are looking for.
I don't have any anymore, but perhaps if you put a wanted post in the classifieds for some, and then bought avent bottles if you haven't already, then you will be sorted.
I am not sure where you buy them from, mine sorta came with the bottles that my friend gave me.

Flibbertyjibbet · 14/06/2008 23:31

Here y'go on ebay
plenty to choose from and some on buy it now.

sullysmum · 14/06/2008 23:36

Well we are nearly there,size and shape is right do they do not a sealing disc but a whole complete screw lid for the bottle? Thanks

Flibbertyjibbet · 14/06/2008 23:40

Yes just gimme a min...

Flibbertyjibbet · 14/06/2008 23:47

No I have never seen a complete screw lid for a baby's bottle. I said yes in my last post cos I thought you wanted the bottles as well. Didn't read your post properly.
As the avent bottles are sold just about everywhere I'd get some of those and these sealing discs. Once the sealing disc is in the screw top part of the bottle its exactly the same as just having a screw top for the bottle. When I used the avent discs they made the top pretty watertight, they never leaked.

Perhaps the screw top bottles are something your gran used but not available now. Or are you the gran, I'm not quite sure

I had a tommee tippee breast pump which came with a wide neck bottle with a screw top lid. Not sure if you can buy them separately though. I'll have a look.

yelnats · 15/06/2008 00:11

lid is on the bottom left in the middle middle

Dalrymps · 15/06/2008 00:44

tommee tippee closer to nature bottles can have a lid screwed on to make them like a jar here are the lids you can use

sullysmum · 15/06/2008 15:00

Thanks everyone, what about a baby cup beaker that has a whole enclosed screw on lid, is there such a thing as that instead of a bottle?

BouncingTurtle · 15/06/2008 17:24

My friend uses Doctor Brown bottles, and that comes with a disc you can use to seal the bottle.

MrsBadger · 15/06/2008 17:31

Have you been to Mothercare and Toys R Us and had a poke around? I can't quite envisage what you mean.

Dalrymps · 15/06/2008 20:53

do you mean some thing like this , think it can be used on a sippy cup...

Dalrymps · 15/06/2008 21:44

Or this?

sullysmum · 15/06/2008 22:22

The learning curve one is just like i want except i want a deeper lid that screws on not just flips on.Thanks.Might have a pop in mothercare next week no toys r us near me.

OP posts:

sullysmum · 15/06/2008 23:01

Blast, just found them on another site and they have the disc in the middle.

TheLadyP · 15/06/2008 23:15

Sullysmum - the Natureflow/Breastflow (or something like that) bottles are very wide and come with a screw on lid. You can get them in Mothercare. The teat is the most boob like one on the market (didn't mean that DD2 drank from it though, but that's another story )

wotulookinat · 15/06/2008 23:15

If you go for the Tommee Tippee bottles, I still might have the screw on lid to the pot that came with the breast pump somewhere...

Is to store formula in? Avent do a little container that you can store three servings of powder in.

TheLadyP · 15/06/2008 23:17

I mean it looks like a little boob, not that it really is like one, as evidenced by unimpressed baba

sullysmum · 16/06/2008 15:10

You would laugh or think i was crazy if i told you what i want it for.Thankyou for all your help i will have a look in mothercare tomorrow.

Had a look in boots and other baby shops and arnt bottles expensive now since i had my kids. Nothing that looks suitable for what i want to use it for, I asked an assistant in sainsburys and when i told her what i wanted it for she looked at me like i was bonkers .

mamamamama · 17/06/2008 19:48

What do you want it for? Someone might have another suggestion.
