How to Pick the Right Nipple and Bottle for My Baby?

How to choose the right nipple and bottle for the baby is a subject that every young parent must study well.

Many parents are switching to glass bottles because of concerns about chemicals found in plastic ones.

As every baby is different, bottles and nipples are very not one size fits all. It may take some experience to find what works best for you and your baby

1.     Purchase the best baby bottles with additional air hole and flap plug. A vent hole and an active plug are arranged at the bottom of the nipple to prevent the milk from overflowing due to the too large vent hole.

2.     Subdivide different sizes and types of suction head. Choose the right bottle for your baby's age and suction function.

3.     Choose a bottle with a flow regulator. A good bottle is attached with a small slice between the base of the nipple and the bottleneck. This function is to fill the nipple with milk to avoid babies Bloating caused by inhalation of too much air.

In addition, the design of the shape of the bottle nipple is also an important point. A good bottle usually has the following features:

1. The distance between suction head and base is equal. If the distance between the suction head and the base is too long, the baby will naturally suck forward when sucking. Over time, it will affect the development of the baby's upper and lower jaws,The more serious, the teeth will form.

2. The air hole makes the milk outflow stable, which can avoid the concave of the nipple during the sucking.

3. Wide base. When the baby sucks, the lips will naturally stand against the base of the pacifier. The base design with high softness and wide base will make the pacifier in and out of the baby's mouth.

4. The shape of suction head is similar to mother's nipple. The design of the over round nipple will cause the baby to have the problem of improper occlusion; simulate the mother's nipple shape.

4.     The middle arc is similar to the breast. The radian of the whole nipple should not be too straight. It needs to have a certain radian, just like a mother's breast.

In the end, the material of bottles is also important:

1, Plastic: Plastic is the most common material for baby bottles. It’s lightweight, shatterproof and inexpensive, but it’s not the safest option.

2, Glass: Glass bottles are naturally BPA-free and durable, but heavy and breakable. Some glass bottles come with silicone sleeves to protect from breakage.

3, Stainless steel: These bottles are free from toxins, shatterproof, light and long-lasting. The only downside is that they can be expensive.

4, Silicone: Silicone bottles can be hard to find and pricey, but they’re also light, unbreakable and toxin-free. Silicone may leach chemicals when exposed to very high temperatures, but not with regular use. Choose bottles made from food-grade or medical-grade silicone.
