This bottle is designed with a unique opening and tip that only releases milk as the baby is actively drinking. When the baby pauses to swallow and breathe, no milk will flow, just like if they were breastfeeding.
This wide breast-shaped nipple has a soft feel and is made to mimic the shape and feel of a breast.
These bottles are shown to better preserve nutrients in breast milk in formula. They aid in your baby’s digestion to help facilitate a good night’s sleep.
These bottles are made with BPA-free plastic and are dishwasher (top rack) safe.
These bottles display a thermometer icon on the side of the bottle that will change colors when the milk inside is too hot.
The unique smooth-flow nipple is designed to allow the baby to control the speed of the flow of the milk for colic-free feeding.
These bottles are made with a safe, high-quality food-grade silicone to offer a comfortable and skin-like feel.
These bottles are safe to use in microwaves, boiling water, dishwashers (top rack only), and bottle sterilizers.
These nipples are made to help your baby keep a perfect latch and to prevent any post-feeding discomfort, gassiness, or fussiness.
These bottles are leak-free and easy to clean.
The vented base design releases liquid slowly, reducing colic symptoms in 80% of babies by eliminating bubbles that cause gas and aggravate colic and reflux symptoms.
The bottle includes a removable vented base to help with a smoother milk flow.
One thing to think about when choosing a set of bottles to purchase is how many bottles you need. Some bottles will be purchased individually, while other bottles may be sold in a set of two, four, or potentially more. It’s never a bad idea to have extra bottles around, especially if your baby is exclusively bottle-fed. You don’t want to have to worry about cleaning out the same bottle over and over again before or after each feeding.
Another thing to think about is how the nipple is designed. This is important for a few reasons. As we already discussed, you want a nipple that will simulate (as closely as possible) the experience of breastfeeding. You may also want a bottle that will help decrease the occurrence of colic, an occurrence marked by babies crying for extended periods of time. While doctors aren’t completely sure what causes colic, there is some evidence to suggest that it could be connected to swallowing too much air while crying. With this in mind, a good bottle will help reduce the amount of air babies consume as they’re drinking milk.
Lastly, you’ll want to think about how well the bottle flows. You probably want a bottle with a flow that the baby can control since this will most closely mimic the natural style of breastfeeding. Beyond that, some nipples will offer a slower flow, while other bottles may offer a flow that is better categorized as medium or fast. The main factor that will dictate what the best flow is for your child is how old they are; younger infants will benefit from a lighter flow, while older children will need a stronger flow.
A: It depends on which bottle you purchase. Many bottles are dishwasher safe, although as a general rule, you’ll want to only wash your bottles on the top rack of your dishwasher. Other bottles will be hand washed and can be left out to dry on a drying rack until it’s time to use them again.
A: It depends on the baby. Bottles are made to simulate the experience and feel of breastfeeding as much as possible. For example, many bottles will not produce milk unless the babies are sucking. That said, whether or not your baby is able to take bottle feedings after they get into a routine of breastfeeding is hard to say, because it can easily vary from child to child.
