Product Information

The Air Ventilation System reduces the intake of air, ultimately reducing the potential causes of gas or colic. The evidence: Dr Brown carried out a research study with a total of 88 babies initially taking part in an online research study. Parents were asked to record their babies symptoms for 3 days on their normal bottles and then for 2 weeks with either the Dr Brown bottles (treatment group) or other bottles (placebo group). They conclude there was a reduction in crying and fussing by the babies using the Dr Brown bottles. Some babies are very adaptable and would be happy with any bottle. Others need a bit of time with just one type to learn the new skill and switching between too many different bottles could be confusing for them and slow down their skill development and progress.

Babies could take part up to 7 months old and we know colic symptoms resolve themselves in older babies. Colic often improves by 6 months (5).Designing a bottle to mimic the breast could be useful for some babies, especially those who switch between breast and bottle. However the word ‘natural’ is clever in it’s marketing as it may influence parents to choose something they deem to be the natural alternative. On the bottom rim of the nipple, the slow-flow nipple reads “Size 2S”, the medium-flow reads “Size 3M” and the fast-flow reads “Size 4L”.

Some parents are concerned that introducing a bottle may discourage their baby from breastfeeding. This is because your little one has to use a different technique when feeding from the breast compared to the bottle (3). With breastfeeding, your baby controls the flow of milk by suction and pauses to swallow and breathe. Breastmilk doesn’t flow instantly as it takes a minute or two to stimulate the let-down reflex (4). A slow flow teat on a bottle may also help. A fast flow teat can cause the milk to flow too fast and continuously. A slow flow nipple may be more similar to breastfeeding as it helps the milk to flow more slowly and also allows your baby to pause feeding, in the same way as breastfeeding. Breastfeeding is a learnt skill. If you experience nipple soreness beyond a slight tenderness when your baby latches on you may need to make some adjustments so you can be comfortable and enjoy breastfeeding your baby. Uncomfortable attachment of the baby at the breast when feeding is often the cause of sore nipples – a temporary but painful condition.With bottle feeding, babies don’t generally have to work as hard and there is a continuous flow of milk (3). Switching regularly between breast and bottles can cause ‘nipple confusion’. What is nipple confusion?

This can be very distressing for parents. Colic can start when a baby is only a few weeks old but usually stops by 6 months (5). Some babies with colic have excess gas and so the theory behind anti colic bottles is tominimise the amount of air swallowed. Effective winding can help too. Signs your baby may have colic (5); There’s no definite best time to introduce a first bottle but it’s often recommended to wait until your baby is at least 4-6 weeks old, if you plan to continue breastfeeding. This is to allow breastfeeding to become established and to build up your milk supply (1). Will my baby take a bottle easily?

Bottom line, no one type of bottle is best. Choose one and see how your baby likes it. Some babies will adapt to the bottle straight away, others might need a bit of time to learn the new skill of feeding from that bottle, so don't give up too soon. Each time you change to a new style of bottle, your baby has to start learning all over again.' Many parents are also looking for their bottles to help with symptoms of colic and many bottles claim to do so. What is colic?

Most bottles who market themselves as good for breastfeeding babies, tend to promote their similarity to breastfeeding and anti colic mechanisms. Here is the low down on the most popular brands and their claims. Natural baby bottles claim to be as close as possible to breastfeeding. The word ‘natural’ is used to mean the bottle is designed to mimic the breast as closely as possible, this could be in terms of shape, width, nipple shape or flow speed. Your breastmilk supply will reduce if your body thinks you need to feed your baby less. If you want to keep up your supply of milk make sure you express at the same time you’d normally be feeding (2). Minbie have a baby bottle that they report to support instinctive breastfeeding latch-on and motion. Their teat has an anti reflux and anti colic functionality. Feed at roughly the same time as usual. Make sure your baby is ready for some milk but not overly hungry.Whether the symptoms had improved was decided by questionnaires (with 7 questions) completed by the parents. Breastmilk is warm so your baby is likely to prefer the bottle (whether breast or formula) at a similar temperature. Anti colic: Minbie claims that colic is reduced because of the proper latch that their bottles encourage. Lansinoh® bottles and NaturalWave® Nipples are dishwasher safe. However, for longer life of the NaturalWave® Nipple, we recommend hand washing.
