BEST BABY BOTTLES FOR FEEDING

BEST BABY BOTTLES FOR FEEDING

Have you ever thought of must-have baby needs? Then you must have thought of baby bottles. Even if you plan to be home and exclusively breastfeed, you might want to let other family members feed your child a bottle of pumped milk. They get some time with your little one, and you get some time to yourself. And because there are lots of baby bottles on the market, getting the ones that work best for your baby can be really complicated. However, before you decide on a bottle to pick, there’s a lot you need to know about finding the right one for your little one. Baby bottles come in plastic, stainless steel, glass, and silicone form. They also come in different shapes, sizes:

-Smaller-sized bottles: These ones are designed for newborns who eat less per feeding than older babies, usually about 4 ounces of breastmilk.

-Larger bottles: These ones are designed for older babies who eat more, which hold about eight ounces of breast milk or formula. 

So, before you agree on a type of bottle to use, you might want to buy one or two to test them out with your little one. And because babies’ preferences vary, it can be hard to know which one will work for your baby until he actually uses it. While some baby bottles are created to work in line with the breastfeeding experience, others are better for formula-fed babies, with built-in valves to help prevent colic and gassiness. 

TYPES OF BABY BOTTLES

Baby bottles also come in various types, such as: 

-Standard bottles: These types come in plastic, glass, and even stainless steel forms. They are traditionally designed and work for most babies.

-Angle-neck bottles: Bent at the neck to prevent air from filling the nipple, which may make for easier feedings and a less gassy baby.

-Disposable liner bottles: These usually come in plastic form and hold an individual pouch of milk. The bag collapses as the baby drinks, which automatically reduces gassiness.

-Wide-neck bottles: These ones are ideal for babies going from breast to bottle frequently. It has a wide nipple and a wide neck that is easy to clean.

-Vented bottles: These bottles are not easy to clean. They include a built-in tube to prevent air pockets from forming in the bottle or nipple. This helps prevent gas.
