Overview

The Subo Food Bottle is fast becoming a favourite in many households!

It is an incredible food bottle design that allows your little one to eat pureed fruit and vegetables, smoothies, yoghurts and even soft foods such as cereals, oats, weetbix, porridge or even tinned spaghetti!

Great for little ones to feed themselves independently and great for on the go. Minimise the mess - the Subo will only let food out when the spout is sucked on - no squeezing required so there is less room for mess to make an appearance.

It can hold up to 210ml volume and can be adjusted to hold a smaller portion by adjusting the platform inside the bottle. It comes with the original spout which has a 12mm opening. Great for kiddies 2+ years, also for the thicker soft foods like cereals, spaghetti etc.

User Guide

Are there different spout sizes for the Subo Food Bottle, and why?

Yes. The Subo Food Bottle comes standard with a 12mm spout. A 5mm straw spout is also available separately and can be easily interchanged with the standard spout. The 5mm straw spout is recommended for children under 2 years of age. We sell the smaller spout separately!

The two spout sizes are designed to suit foods with different thicknesses (viscosities). The larger 12mm spout is suitable for thicker foods, such as cereals and spaghetti, while the smaller 5mm straw spout is better suited to more liquid foods, such as smoothies.

Please note that the Subo Food Bottle is designed for food rather than drinks such as water, milk or juice.

Who should use the small 5mm straw spout?

Children under 2 years of age should use the 5mm straw spout. The 12mm spout is not recommended for children under 2.

The 5mm straw spout can also be used by older children and adults, particularly for more liquid meals such as smoothies.

Can I use liquids in the Subo Food Bottle?

Subo is not designed for liquid drinks. It is best suited to pureed, mashed or other viscous foods.

Suitable foods include yoghurt, smoothies, pureed fruit and vegetables, and soft breakfast cereals soaked in milk.

Can I fill the Subo Food Bottle halfway?

Yes. Simply push the platform up inside the tube to your desired volume before adding the food.

How do I read the volume markers?

The Subo Food Bottle has volume markings in both millilitres and fluid ounces on both sides of the bottle, next to the windows.

You may notice the markings on one side appear upside down. This is because the Subo base and collar can be assembled on either side of the tube, allowing the bottle to be used in either direction.

Use the markings where TOP is positioned closest to the spout. The top of the platform will align with the markings to show how much food remains in the bottle.

Can I freeze the Subo Food Bottle?

No. Freezing the Subo Food Bottle is not recommended.

Can I put frozen food in the Subo Food Bottle?

Yes. Frozen food can be placed inside the Subo Food Bottle to defrost and be eaten later.

Can I store leftover food in the Subo if my child has only eaten half?

No. Once food has come into contact with saliva, it should not be stored for later use.

How do I encourage my child to suck through the spout?

Try demonstrating how to suck through the spout for your child. Avoid tipping the bottle upside down or squeezing it, as neither method will work.

Younger children may need a little time to learn the correct technique, particularly when transitioning from a teat bottle.

Can I add boiling water to my Subo Food Bottle?

Adding boiling water directly to the Subo Food Bottle is not recommended.

If your food requires boiling water for preparation, prepare it in a suitable separate container first, then transfer it to the Subo Food Bottle when ready.

How do I care for my Subo Food Bottle?

When fully disassembled, your Subo Food Bottle should have seven separate parts. Wash each component in warm, soapy water using a cloth or bottle brush, or place the parts on the top rack of your dishwasher. Dry all components thoroughly after washing.

Inspect all parts before each use and replace them at the first sign of damage or weakness. Always make sure every component is securely fitted before feeding.

Keep the bottle away from direct sunlight and sources of heat, as these may damage the product. Do not microwave or freeze the Subo Food Bottle.

Can I microwave the Subo Food Bottle?

Microwaving the Subo Food Bottle is not recommended, as it can be difficult to accurately check the temperature of the food inside.

Instead, heat the food separately and make sure it has reached a suitable, safe temperature before placing it into the bottle.

Can I put hot food in the Subo Food Bottle?

Yes. Food can be added to the Subo Food Bottle once it has been heated to a suitable, safe temperature.

Always check the food temperature before giving the bottle to your child.

Can I remove the spout?

Yes. Simply push the silicone spout through the opening in the collar to remove it.

Can I take the platform apart?

No. The fin is overmoulded onto the platform and does not need to be removed or taken apart

Beginning your baby on solid foods

Starting Solids: A New Chapter in Your Baby’s Feeding Journey Introducing your baby to solids is an exciting milestone for both of you! It’s a time for new tastes, textures, and the inevitable messes that come with it. But as your baby reaches the six-month mark, it’s time to introduce them to new foods to complement their milk diet. For the first six months, your baby relies on iron stores from the womb and breast milk or formula. But as those iron stores begin to deplete, solids are needed to boost their nutrition. It’s recommended to continue breastfeeding or bottle-feeding alongside solids until your baby is 12 months old. Solids at this stage complement, rather than replace, their milk feeds. You can also start offering small amounts of water after six months, either in a sippy cup or with meals, to help your baby stay hydrated as they transition to solids. Signs Your Baby Might Be Ready for Solids Here are some signs to watch for that indicate your little one is ready to start eating solids: They seem hungry after milk feeds Can sit up with support and hold their head steady Show interest in your food, possibly reaching out or opening their mouth Make chewing motions when they see food Open their mouth when a spoon comes near The right Approach for Your Baby There are different ways to approach weaning. Spoon-feeding (offering purées or mashed foods), Baby-led weaning with finger food or a combination of both. There is no one "perfect" approach. The best method is the one that feels safe, enjoyable, and sustainable for your family. This book by Annabel Karmel is a great resource, filled with advice and recipes.. What matters most is offering nutritious foods (including iron-rich options), sharing pressure-free, positive mealtime experiences and supervising baby around food. With patience, consistency, and a little flexibility, you'll be helping your baby build a lifelong healthy relationship with food. Baby’s First Taste: Making Mealtimes Memorable Starting solids can be an exciting and slightly messy adventure! You can begin with simple, iron-rich foods to complement their milk diet, such as: Iron-fortified rice cereal mixed with breast milk or formula Purées of cooked vegetables like pumpkin, kūmara, or carrot Mashed avocado – easy to prepare and great for baby’s first tastes Purée of cooked apple or pear – mild, easy-to-digest options Purée of cooked chicken or beef – an excellent way to introduce iron A fantastic way to offer baby their first tastes is with the b.box Silicone Fresh Food Feeder. Simply pop in soft fruits or steamed vegetables, and let baby explore with a self-feeding method that doubles as teething relief. Make Mealtimes Easier with the Right Tools The right tools can make the journey into solids so much easier – and a little less messy! The Zazi Clever Spoon Set is designed for tiny hands, and paired with the Clever Bowl with Lid, they're perfect for portioning, feeding, and storing leftovers. The b.box Roll + Go Mealtime Mat keeps the mess contained, while the classic Mum2Mum Wonder Bib or the Mum2Mum Sleeved Wonder Bib makes sure your baby’s outfit stays clean, even on the messiest of days. After all, less laundry means more cuddle time! Moving to Mash As your baby approaches seven months, they’ll likely be ready to try foods with a thicker consistency. Offer them mashed or fork-mashed foods like ripe banana, avocado, small pasta pieces, or cooked egg. These textures are easy for your baby to swallow and great for practicing chewing. At this stage, avoid harder lumps like whole peas, which can pose a choking risk. Embracing Independence Around 8 Months Around eight months, your baby may begin showing an interest in feeding themselves. They may grab the spoon and try to feed themselves – it’s messy, but it’s also a great opportunity for developing their hand-eye coordination. Give them a chance to explore, but always stay close by to offer a helping hand (and a napkin)! We’re Here to Help At Dimples, we know starting solids can feel overwhelming. That’s why we’re always here to support you with expert advice and product recommendations.

Trouble sleeping? Finding The Right Sleep Aid

Sleep Struggles? These Soothers Might Just Save Your Sanity 😴 White noise and gentle sound machines help to mask the everyday background noise that can disturb your little one's rest. Think: older siblings, barking dogs, or the neighbour deciding now’s the time to mow the lawn. These soothing sounds - like a heartbeat, waves, or soft shushing - can create a more consistent, calming sleep environment and help baby settle more easily. Darkness can make a big difference too. A dark room helps reduce visual stimulation and can support your baby’s natural sleep cues, which is especially handy for daytime naps, early bedtimes and those bright summer evenings. If light is sneaking in around curtains or you’re sleeping somewhere unfamiliar, a portable blackout blind can help create a darker, more consistent sleep space wherever you are. We’ve curated a handy Quiz to help you make a decision, plus a small but mighty collection of trusted sleep soothers and calming aids below, that can help take the edge off bedtime - for both you and your baby. Love to Dream Sleep Machine Creating a familiar, calming sound environment is a great way to help signal to baby that it’s time to sleep. The Love to Dream Sleep Machine offers nine soothing sounds, including white, pink and brown noise, rain, shushing and womb sounds, helping to mask everyday household noises that might otherwise disturb naps or nighttime sleep. It even has a clever cry detection feature which automatically starts your chosen sound if baby stirs! It's got a soft red and warm white nightlight function which is super handy for those 3am feeds and changes. Being rechargeable with up to 22 hours of battery life it's perfect for travelling moments too! YogaSleep Nod Sound Machine and Night Light The YogaSleep Nod is the ultimate stay-at-home sleep station, perfect for setting up a consistent, calming bedtime routine in the nursery.

The built-in nightlight, which emits a warm amber glow to create a peaceful sleep space without overstimulating your baby. You can also set sleep timers or run it all night long, ideal for little ones who are easily stirred. Simple, soothing, and super customisable, the Nod helps create the kind of sleep environment you’ll both appreciate. Purflo Total Blackout Blinds Light can make a huge difference to how easily your baby settles, especially for daytime naps, early bedtimes or those bright summer evenings. The Purflo Total Eclipse Portable Blackout Blind helps create a dark, calming sleep environment by blocking out unwanted light, making it easier to keep baby’s sleep space feeling consistent. It easily attaches securely to windows using over 100 suction cups and can be adjusted to suit smaller windows, so it’s handy at home as well as when travelling or staying with family. Even better, it folds neatly into its own storage pocket, making it an easy sleep essential to have on hand. Storytime and Soothing Light for Sweet Dreams Another beautiful way to support your child’s sleep is by building a calming, familiar bedtime routine - and the CloudBox™ helps make that easy. This clever little device plays comforting bedtime stories while gently projecting sleepy visuals onto the ceiling or wall. With a soothing mix of audio and light, it creates a multisensory environment that helps children wind down at the end of the day. You can choose from the preloaded stories or record your own – a lovely way to keep bedtime personal, even when you can’t be there in person. Repeating the same story or image each night can become part of your child’s sleep ritual, providing a sense of security and consistency they can count on. Simple to use and designed for children from birth and up, the CloudBox™ is a thoughtful addition to any nighttime routine – helping little ones feel calm, safe, and ready for sleep. Supporting Sleep, Naturally For many families, Magnesium Rescue has become a much loved part of their wind-down ritual. This gentle, topical formula is made from natural ingredients and can be massaged into your child’s back, tummy, or feet at bedtime. It’s designed to help support a relaxed nervous system – a simple, non-invasive way to encourage calm before sleep. Another lovely option is the Bedtime Bestie - a lightweight magnesium mist infused with calming lavender, designed to support relaxation and make bedtime a little easier. Simply spritz it onto your child’s back or feet as part of your evening routine. It’s a fuss-free way to help little bodies and busy minds slow down – one small spray at a time.
