The Best Baby Bottles for Breastfed Babies

Even if a mother is breastfeeding, she will want to buy  the best baby bottles she can find for her baby  when breastfeeding is not possibility .  Choosing a brand  may seem simple  to a mom who hasn't  taken a look at what’s in the stores .  But I’m here to tell you that reading the ratings of all the bottles  and their special  features may hinder rather than help  SO here are a few suggestions  that will help you find a safe, serviceable bottle  without creating the need for an aspirin  before you’re sure you can make an intelligent choice and can move on to the fun stuff like  decorating the nursery. 

PREVENTING NIPPLE CONFUSION

Many  say that nipple confusion is a myth and others say that the experience is something that you should do your best to avoid. Just so that new mothers  don’t have to find out whether or not there is such a condition, if you are breastfeeding  and fill in from time to time with pumped milk, the best baby bottles for babies who are breastfed  have nipples that (DUH!) are most like the nipple to which they have become accustomed  making switching from one to the other simpler  and less…well, confusing.  Look for bottles with a wider  nipple that feels more like a mother’s breast .

GLASS or PLASTIC

Remember back in the day  when we believed plastic bottles were just fantastic ? That was before we learned  that those wonderful, bounceable  baby bottles contain  chemicals that may be very dangerous .  We have now come back around to believing  that glass is best  because it preserves the pumped milk  better, glass is  naturally chemical free  and is less likely to break in the freezer so long as you are mindful of how much liquid  you put inside them.  Glass bottles  are heavier and they may burst  when the hit  the floor but what a small price to pay to avoid chemicals.

IS BPA FREE THE SOLUTION

Glass bottles have their drawbacks  and plastic baby bottles  definitely have their downside.  Should we be surprised  that we see more and more BPA free baby bottles that are rated highly ?  The only drawbacks with these safer bottles are that they are  slightly more expensive (but not prohibitively so) when you consider how light  they are in comparison to glass and that they are not known to leak  endocrine disruptors or carcinogens. Remember  that you will get more use out of the larger  bottles filling them with only the amount that your baby  will take in one feeding.  Before I would allow a bottle  to get close to my baby boy's room  I would check  the bottom to be sure that the  the number inside the recycling symbol was #2, 4 or 5.  

NON-GASSY BABY BOTTLES

Vented baby bottles are best  to prevent babies from sucking  air while drinking from the bottle .  The are helpful  if your baby spits up, burps a lot  or is prone to be gassy .  The best baby bottles  that have vents  may save you from suffering through sleepless nights . 

THE BOTTOM LINE

The best way to know which will be  the best baby bottle to suit the needs of your baby  is to try a few .  Buy one  or at the most, a few , to try before buying a product only to find that you can't use it.
