Why choosing the right bottle is crucial for a breastfed baby
A breastfed baby sucks differently from a bottle-fed baby. At the breast, they have to work actively to get milk. If the bottle flows too easily, baby may prefer the bottle to the breast — this is nipple confusion.
Essential criteria
1. Slow flow nipple
A slow-flow nipple forces baby to work to suck, just like at the breast.
2. Anatomical shape
A nipple that mimics the shape of the nipple facilitates breast-bottle alternation.
3. Anti-colic valve
An effective anti-colic valve reduces colic, regurgitation, and discomfort after meals.
4. Material
Borosilicate glass is the healthiest material: no chemical substances in contact with the milk.

Tips for a successful breast-to-bottle transition
- Wait 4 to 6 weeks after birth to introduce the bottle
- Have someone other than the mother give the bottle
- Choose a calm moment, not when the baby is too hungry
- Hold the baby in a semi-upright position to slow the flow
