Nothing beats the joy of bringing a new life into this beautiful world. But, with this majestic feeling comes the great responsibility of taking care of your little one’s health and feeding him/her at regular intervals in an appropriate manner. While it is suggested to breastfeed your baby at the initial stage, there will come a time when you’ll have to bottle feed him/her.
Bottle feeding is no rocket science. But finding the right feeding bottle is. The market today is flooded with a myriad variety of feeding bottles in India that it is practically very challenging and tiresome to find a feeding bottle which would not only be easy to use but to clean as well.
To solve this daunting problem, we bring forth a range of unique feeding bottles that follow the baby’s growth in the most natural way. Let’s take a look!
Standard Baby Bottles
As the name says, it’s the most common type of baby feeding bottle available in the market. Ideal for babies 4-6 months old, these come with three different teats with specific shapes that allow easy feeding. The bottles also have soft silicone and grooves at the base which feel exactly like a mother’s breast.
Standard baby bottles are cheap and come in a basic shape. They are easy to sterilize and fit aptly in traditional warmers and bottle covers.
Angled Baby Bottles
Angled baby bottles are perfect for new born babies. They come with a bend in the neck of the bottle which keeps the nipple filled with milk or any other liquid, preventing the formation of air bubbles in the nipple. What’s the advantage? Your baby takes in less air, which apparently is a good thing.
When asked from Paediatricians regarding the best feeding position, they recommended semi-upright position as it helps prevent ear infection. Wondering what’s the relevance? The angle necked bottles promote such kind of feeding position, further eliminating the chances of acquiring ear infection and is also easier for the parents to hold the baby while they is feeding the baby.
Wide Neck Baby Bottle
Such bottles come with a wider neck, larger nipple and wider opening. The primary fundamental behind its shape is that the larger nipple resembles a mother’s nipple, which prevents the baby from getting confused and conveniently accept the formula. As a result, wider neck bottles are more preferred by the mothers with infants older than six months and switch between breastfeeding and formula feeding at regular intervals.
Each baby feeding bottle has its own unique features which make nursing more convenient and enjoyable for the babies and their mothers. But these bottles have two feature in common. One, they have special anti-colic valves which prevent the air from being swallowed by the babies, further reducing the risk of colic; and second, they all can be used as breast milk storage containers helping you save on maintaining two different bottles for storing and feeding.
If you are an about-to-be-mom or a newbie-mother and are looking for a feeing bottle, opt for one of the baby feeding bottles as described above and feed your tot in the most natural and convenient way.
