About this deal

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”. Many parents are also looking for their bottles to help with symptoms of colic and many bottles claim to do so. What is colic? Babies flow preferences with bottle nipples are related to the way they feed at the breast rather than their age. It is recommended to start a breastfed baby with a slow flow nipple. If you notice that it takes longer for them to finish feeding than it does at the breast, and they get frustrated with feeding and pull off the nipple frequently, these are indicators that you may need to switch to a medium flow. The reason Lansinoh’s breast pads are so absorbent is that they contain a fine powder within the construction of the pad that is a super absorbent polymer (SAP). When the milk lets down and begins to flow, the powder turns into a gel, which is the action that is keeping you dry. If you noticed gel on your breast, it probably means that this leaked from the pad onto your skin either because the pad was torn or ripped prior to your using it or because the pad was too saturated with milk. This could happen after a particularly big letdown or after wearing the pad for many hours. One option is changing your pad more frequently if you think that could be the cause. Because our pads are so absorbent, it may not seem as though you are leaking a lot of milk but this is sometimes the case. The claim: Minbie say that the shape of the teat avoids nipple confusion for your baby as it nurtures a proper latch. Because of this proper latch, they report it helps baby’s control of the feed which supports good digestion helping with reflux and colic. They also say it works to prevent lazy feeding.

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.

Breastfeeding is recommended for at least the first six months of a baby's life. Breastmilk is the ideal food for infants; it is safe, clean and contains antibodies which help protect against many common childhood illnesses.✝ A plugged duct will typically feel more painful before a feeding and less tender afterward, and the plugged area will usually feel less lumpy or smaller after nursing. Nursing on the affected side may be painful, particularly at letdown.

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). 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). Feed at roughly the same time as usual. Make sure your baby is ready for some milk but not overly hungry.

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. This was an online diary completed by parents and the parent’s opinion on whether symptoms improved. Parents had to document minutes spent fussing, sleeping or crying. 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.' We suggest inspecting the nipple for wear/tear daily and recommend changing the nipple every 7 weeks. If you notice the silicone is torn or compromised in any way, discard it. We also recommend not leaving the nipple in direct sunlight, heat, or leaving in disinfectant (“sanitizing solution”) for longer than instructions recommended as this may weaken the nipple. Choosing a bottle designed for breastfed babies and as similar as possible to the breast may help your little one switch between more easily.
