It’s all false marketing…🫣
All bottles brands make claims that their bottles…
“Are anti colic”
“Reduce gas”
“Reduce spit up”
“Promote a smooth transition between breast and bottle”
“Prevent ni**le confusion”
….Truth is, this a tactic to get you to buy 💸💸💸
First ➡️no bottle will ever be ‘exactly’ like the breast. But there are 2 main factors we want to consider when choosing bottles ⤵️
🍼A ni**le that has a gradual, narrow slope. This will encourage a deeper latch, as they should at the breast taking in your ni**le and breast tissue.
🍼A slow flow rate, we want babies to take slow, paced feedings and actively draw out the milk as they should at the breast.
⬆️ I would recommend this for both breastfed and exclusively bottle-feed babies because we ultimately want to encourage babies to mimic what’s happening at the breast as closely as possible.
Second ➡️colic, gas, and spit up are symptoms that usually point to underlying challenges that a bottle alone can’t fix…Yet, parents are led to believe that they can buy and rely on X bottle 🤦🏽♀️ when we really should be trying to address the root cause of your baby’s discomfort.
If you’re struggling with bottle feeding and your baby is colicky or uncomfortable, I would love to help!
