1. Safe Material
Mothers should choose baby bottles made from premium materials such as PP, PPSU, PES, Silicon, or glass. These materials are recommended by health experts for both mother and baby, free from BPA and other harmful substances, ensuring 100% safety for the baby's health. Additionally, premium plastic and glass have good heat resistance and insulation properties, allowing mothers to sterilize the bottles with ease, saving time and effort. Safe material is the most important criterion mothers should pay attention to before deciding to purchase a bottle.
2. Soft Bottle Nipple
The material of the bottle nipple is a crucial factor that mothers need to consider when choosing a baby bottle. The baby will only get used to bottle feeding if the mother selects a nipple that suits the baby. Mothers should choose bottles with medical-grade Silicon or soft rubber nipples to protect the baby's gums from pain and swelling. Preferably, choose nipples with designs that mimic the mother's nipple to help the baby adapt to bottle feeding more easily.
In addition, mothers should pay attention to the size, flow rate, and air vent of the nipple before deciding to purchase for their baby. The size of the nipple will affect the milk flow rate. Therefore, Mytour.vn will advise mothers on how to choose a nipple that is suitable for their baby. Specifically,
The smallest nipple size is size S, suitable for babies from 0 to 3 months. Size S nipples have 1 small milk flow hole, providing a slow flow rate to prevent choking.
The medium nipple size is size M, suitable for babies from 3 to 6 months. Size M nipples have 2 holes, resulting in a stronger flow compared to Size S.
The largest nipple size is size L, suitable for babies over 6 months old. Size L nipples have 3 flow holes, providing a strong milk flow due to the baby's increased sucking strength.
3. Bottle Venting Function
Famous baby bottle brands on the market today such as Avent, Comotomo, Dr. Brown's, Tommee Tippee... all have air vent systems, so mothers can freely choose for their babies. The function of the air vent system helps prevent baby from getting gassy, spitting up milk, and experiencing colic... Some baby bottles are even equipped with 2 air vent holes to balance the pressure inside and outside the bottle.
If the baby bottle lacks an air vent system, the breastfeeding process becomes more difficult for the baby. The baby needs to exert more force to suckle. Excessive suction can cause the nipple to stick, leading to uneven milk flow and blockages.
4. Bottle Neck Design
There are countless types of bottles with various neck designs on the market. However, the most preferred and highly rated types are wide-neck and narrow-neck bottles.
Narrow-neck bottles such as Pigeon narrow-neck bottles, Avent narrow-neck bottles... are designed to be compact and convenient for mothers to carry around, suitable for the baby's grip.
Wide-neck bottles like Dr. Brown's wide-neck bottles, Comotomo wide-neck bottles... feature a wide-neck design, making it easy to prepare and clean milk without consuming too much time and effort.
However, both narrow-neck and wide-neck bottles are good, but wide-neck bottles have a slight edge over narrow-neck bottles. Wide-neck bottles are favored and highly rated by many Vietnamese mothers due to their superior features.
We hope that Mytour.vn provides valuable insights for inexperienced mothers when purchasing baby bottles.
