Finding the Best Baby Bottles for Your Baby’s Needs
Finding the best baby bottles for your baby can seem like a daunting process. There are a wide variety of baby bottles to choose from. So how do you decide which baby bottles are best for your little bundle of joy? Here I evaluate some of the most popular baby bottles and their features to help you decide which one will best meet your baby’s needs.
Avent - These bottles feature a patented anti vacuum air flow system that is suppose to reduce colic and gas by allowing liquid, not air, to flow through the silicone nipples that come with the bottles. This is also a good option for breastfed babies because the nipples are suppose to mimic the shape and feel of the breast. The wide mouth of the bottle also makes it easier to fill and clean the bottles.
Dr. Brown’s Bottles - Dr. Brown’s baby bottles are considered to be the best baby bottles by many parents because of the long list of feeding problems they are said to help. The bottles feature an internal vent system which is said to help reduce spitting up, gas, burping, and even colic. The downside to these bottles is that they can cost a little more than others and are a little more time consuming to clean because of all the parts the internal system has.
Evenflo Classic Glass Nursers - A popular choice for parents looking for an alternative to plastic bottles. Evenflo’s Classic Glass Nursers are made of tempered safety glass instead of plastic like many baby bottles. Since plastic can release toxins when heated (like in the dishwasher), many parents love these bottles since they are bpa-free. They are also 100% recyclable making them the overall best choice for parents looking for a safe and environmentally friendly baby bottle.
Playtex VentAire - This bottle is unique because of its angled design which makes it easier to feed the baby more upright which is suppose to help prevent spitting up and gas issues and is also suppose to help reduce the chance of baby getting ear infections.
Playtex Original Nursers - Great for bottle or breastfed babies, these bottles require disposable liners which make clean up easier but will require additional costs since you will need to continue to buy replacement liners as long as you are using the bottles. These bottles will help babies swallow less air since you can push the excess air out the liners before the feeding.
The First Years Soothie Bottles - These bottles have a nipple that mimics the popular Soothie pacifiers. The bottle has a wide neck which makes it easier to fill the bottle and is contoured so that the baby will have an easier time holding it. The First Years Soothie Bottle is especially popular among breastfeeding moms who want their baby to transition to a bottle. Because the bottle’s nipples do mimic the soothie pacifiers, many have found it easier to transition their baby to these bottles than some of the other brands.
A couple things you might what to take into consideration when choosing the best baby bottle:
1. Some parents find they have to experiment with a few different types of bottles until they find the best baby bottles for them and their baby. Don’t be afraid to keep trying different ones until you find one that meets your baby’s needs. To avoid spending too much money while you are searching for the best baby bottle, buy the smallest set available for each of the types of bottles you are trying out.
2. Don’t feel you have to use the nipple that comes with the bottle. If you like a bottle but not the nipples that it came with, find out what other nipples are compatible with your bottles and experiment to create your own best baby bottle and nipple combination.
