Pigeon

Pigeon is a Japanese brand in baby and maternity care products, founded in 1957, with a worldwide reputation for gentle aids and bottle feeding. The range covers baby bottles and teats, breast pumps, sterilisers, soothing aids, lines for maternal care (bras, breast pads), and baby care (lotions, wipes, detergents).

The best-known product line is Pigeon SofTouch — bottle teats that mimic the natural drinking pattern of a baby at the breast, designed in collaboration with Japanese paediatricians. For mothers who want to ease the transition between breast and bottle feeding, Pigeon teats are the recommended choice of many maternity nurses in the Netherlands and Belgium.

Productvraag compares Pigeon baby products at Dutch baby specialist retailers like Babypark, Baby Plus, Bol, and specialised online drugstores. Especially starter sets (3 bottles + teats + steriliser) typically give 15-25% discount versus separate purchase.

Frequently asked questions about Pigeon

What does Pigeon sell?

Baby bottles with SofTouch teats in PP, PA, and glass, manual and electric breast pumps, steam and microwave sterilisers, training cups for toddlers, pacifiers, baby bath products (lotions, oils, wipes), and maternal care items like nursing pads and fabric bras.

Why do maternity nurses recommend Pigeon teats?

Pigeon SofTouch teats have a special shape and flexibility that mimics the natural drinking mechanism of a baby at the breast — the baby has to actively suck instead of passively drinking liquid. This prevents 'nipple confusion' in babies who alternate between breast and bottle.

Which Pigeon bottle size suits which age?

0-3 months: 160 ml with SS teat (Slow). 3-6 months: 240 ml with M teat. 6+ months: 240 ml with L teat or cross-cut for porridge. Teat size matters more than bottle size — wrong size gives frustration or too fast feeding.

What do Pigeon products cost?

Single bottle 240 ml with teat: €8-14. 3-pack bottles: €25-40. Electric breast pump: €110-220. Microwave steriliser: €25-50. Steam steriliser: €60-130. Starter set (3 bottles + steriliser + accessories): €80-150.
