• Reduce colic and gas:

A right baby feeding bottle can minimize the amount of air that your baby swallows during feeding. Once this air gets trapped inside, it can lead to episodes of colic, gas and continuous fussiness. Choosing the right baby feeding bottle negates all these issues, and your baby remains happy and playful. These bottles not only have a great design with a venting system but also come in all sizes and shapes.

• Imitating breastfeeding:

If your baby is experiencing the transition phase, such as the transition from breastfeeding to bottle feeding, the right baby feeding bottle can make all this a lot smoother and easier. Some bottles come with an imitation design of nipple that directly influences the comfort level of your baby during feeding. On the contrary, some ill-designed baby feeding bottles lead to a poor latch, difficulty suction and overall a frustrating feeding experience for both baby and caregiver. That’s why Littloo suggests choosing the right bottle and a nipple that can facilitate smoother transitions.

• For weaning:

At Littloo, we have the squeezy baby feeding spoon with soft silicon body which makes the whole pureed weaning easy for fussy eaters. It comes with dust cover so it remains safe when not in use. Baby feeding spoons are a great help when your baby starts having food other than milk.

• Promotes comfortable feeding:

The right baby feeding bottle comes in such shape, design, size and nipple that positively impacts and enhances the comfort of the baby.

• Makes life easier:

Let’s be honest Littloo parents! The right bottle can also make your life easier. Since these bottles come with practical features like clear measurement markings and are easy to clean, they can transform feeding from a challenging task into a manageable part of your daily routine.

Choosing the right material:

Material matters a lot! People often use plastic bottles or glass bottles. But as we are becoming more aware and learning new things, plastic bottles must be a big no for safe feeding. However, if you have no choice, you can always follow the instructions for cleaning the baby feeding bottles using a baby bottle brush properly. It’s a given fact that both have their own set of advantages and disadvantages. 

• Glass Bottles:

Glass bottles not only are durable but can withstand high temperatures without degrading or leaching chemicals. They are very easy to sterilize effectively, which is an important consideration for ensuring your baby’s health and safety. In addition, glass bottles are also environmentally friendly and tend to hold the temperature of liquids well. But there are some drawbacks too. They are generally heavier than plastic bottles, and For some people, this might be a hindrance. The most genuine concern of using a glass baby feeding bottle is that it can break easily if dropped. And when you have small babies or active toddlers, this can be highly unsafe for them. This breakage risk makes them less convenient than plastic bottles and also, in comparison to plastic bottles they are expensive.

• Plastic Bottles:

Plastic bottles are less expensive, lightweight and also durable. In practicality, plastic newborn baby feeding bottles or baby feeding bottles are a convenient choice for daily use. But there are some consequences of using these plastic bottles too. For example, some plastics may leach chemicals if scratched, overheated, or not properly cleaned. However, most of the bottles now are BPA-free. Baby feeding bottles made from food grade plastic would be a great choice. Remember to replace them from time to time.

The right nipple:

Believe it or not, choosing the right nipple is as important as the baby feeding bottle itself. Nipples come in various shapes, sizes and flow rates. Traditionally, the round nipple is preferred for babies who have a strong sucking reflex. Some nipples such as orthodontic nipples have the same design as the mother’s breast, which helps during the transition phase. These nipples promote proper oral development. From slow-flow, medium-flow and fast-flow, you can choose the flow rate based nipple for your baby’s feeding bottle. As we know all these nipples are made from silicone. It’s not only easy to clean and durable but also remains odourless. However, latex as another option provides more soft and flexible nipple. However, since it can trigger an allergic reaction in some babies, parents prefer silicone nipples as a preferred choice for their babies.

Some key points:

Now that you have considered and understood all the details, we must remember these additional points.
