Get the best bottles and nipples for your little one's feeding bottles
![]() |
Many parents are choosing glass bottles as of concerns about chemicals in the
plastic bottles. Glass might look unworkable for an infant. It
is expected to be heavy for tiny hands and more possible to break, but you can
buy protective sleeves so that they are easier to hold and less expected to
break if they fall.
Baby bottle types
1. Vented bottles
These bottles come with a straw-like vent which goes through the
center. The design intent is to eradicate air bubbles that could lead to forming
gas. In spite of a lack of evidence that these lessen gas and colic, lots of
parents rely on them. However, remember that these additional elements do mean
more cleaning.
2. Angle-neck
bottles
These are bent at the neck so that less air is made in the nipple.
Some parents deem that these are easier to grip too. But, the design makes them
a bit more challenging to clean.
3. Wide mouth
bottles
These types of baby feeding bottles are broader and shorter as compared to regular
bottles. They even utilize wider nipples that are more likely to imitate the
breast better.
If you are bottle-feeding, then your little one might choose the touch
of this bottle best (but not all the time). These are easy to clean too.
4. Disposable-liner
bottles
They have a plastic pouch that fits within the bottle. Since your
child drinks from the bottle, the plastic fails to avoid the formation of air
bubbles that could become gas inside your baby’s stomach. They require less
cleaning.
Disposable-liner bottles are not as eco-friendly, and the liners could
get pricey if you are fully bottle-feeding.
How to select the
right bottle for the baby?
Choose one type of feeding bottle and let your little one try it
numerous times. Try not to quit if the baby rejects in the first place.
Give him enough opportunities to try one bottle or nipple before
moving to a new one, as continuous replacement of the feeding bottles can cause
even more irritation. It can take a few experimenting prior to deciding which
bottle and nipple work well for your little one.
You also need to keep the size of the bottle in mind. The bottles
usually come in 4 oz and 8 oz sizes. Start with small ones as your baby is a
newborn, and try with big ones once your baby begins to drink more at every
feeding.
