The mum behind a baby bottle beloved by parents is launching a new sippy teat attachment designed to make the transition from bottle to cup easier for mums and dads.
Jeannette Nguyen – who has two children under two – got sick with COVID-19 when she was 35 weeks pregnant with her first child, and she was forced to have an emergency caesarean and then placed in an induced coma for four weeks.
When she came around, Jeannette was unable to breastfeed her daughter – which led her on a search for the “perfect” baby bottle and cost her hundreds of dollars in trial and error.

Dissatisfied with the experience after trying around 10 different bottle brands, Jeannette said her daughter “still wasn’t feeding properly, sleeping well and was generally unsettled”.
This led her to think that there must be something better, and eventually prompted her to launch her business: Mooki.
Mooki sells an $18.95 bottle called “The One Baby Bottle” that aims to be the solution to any parent’s bottle-feeding woes.
Made from the highest-quality BPA-free materials, it’s leak-proof and airtight, meaning it’s perfect for travel, outings and late night feeds.
Even better than this, unlike most baby bottles on the market, “The One Baby Bottle” also has a wide neck, snap-on cap bottle design, which clips handily on to the base of the bottle.
This means when you’re feeding your baby you’ll always have somewhere to keep the lid clean and safe, and you can also put their dummy inside the lid and snap it on too.
Many who have tried the Mooki’s “The One Baby Bottle” have heaped praise on it.
Parents love the fact that the bottle features a soft, anti-colic silicone teat that perfectly mimics the feel of a mother’s nipple and the natural flow of breastfeeding.
Others have praised its anti-colic valve to keep air out of the baby’s tummy and prevent gassy, unsettled episodes.
“My baby is obsessed with this bottle! He’s rejected others but with ‘The One’ he has latched on really well from the start. It’s never leaked (other brands do which is really annoying!) and it’s really easy to clean thanks to the bottle cleaners that came in the bundle. It’s made life a lot easier for our family in returning to work,” one mum wrote on Mooki’s website.
“The best bottle on the market! The cap fitting the bottom of the bottle is a genius idea and the cleaning brush is amazing! Both of my kids had the worst reflux so I’ve tried that many bottles and teats it’s ridiculous and I can safely say this is the best by faaaar. You can just tell the quality is great too! Definitely recommend. Would also be an awesome baby shower gift!” another added.
Jeannette told 7Life that mums and dads have said they have been “blown away” by the bottle and various accessories since she launched earlier this year.
“We have had over 1,000 mums try our bottles and have had mums reach out with babies with medical conditions that have been fed from a tube since birth and have never latched on to a bottle,” she says.
“Once they tried ours, miraculously their babies latched on right away.
“It gives me such an honour when I receive these messages knowing that Mooki is making a difference for families.”
The new sippy teat attachment ($11.95) is currently available for pre-order in blue and limited edition pink, with shipments due in early August.
It has been designed to re-define the way little ones transition from bottles to cups and provides a sense of comfort and security for babies, allowing them to adjust naturally.
The attachment is fitted with innovative anti-spill technology, so you can breathe easy during mealtimes, and it seamlessly fits onto any Mooki Baby bottle, making it a versatile addition to your infant’s feeding collection.
“As parents, we recognise the challenges that come with every stage of our child’s development. The Sippy Teat Attachment is an extension of our commitment to providing exceptional, practical, and safe products for infants and toddlers,” Jeannette tells 7Life.
“We are excited to empower both parents and babies alike with this latest addition to our product range.”
