Product Information

Feeding items should be sanitized once a day if your infant is younger than 2 months, a preemie or health-compromised. As your baby grows older, a regular cleaning after each use is enough, with occasional sanitizing for peace of mind. A soft breast-like nipple with a unique 3-vent anti-colic design helps transition babies between breast and bottle and reduces fussiness and gas. The plastic cover adds a little bulk, and the cap is quite large. Overall, this is a somewhat bulky bottle to stow in a diaper bag, on the other hand it slides in easily thanks to the hard plastic shell. The bottles you choose will typically come with a set of directions best used for that specific product.

BPA had two wonderful qualities that made it ideal for heavily used products like bottles and toddler dishes. While glass has stood the test of time as the safest feeding option in terms of leaching toxins or harboring bacteria, it is also the most heavy and, of course, breakable. While paint can be a concern, etched decorations are completely fine. What to Look for When Shopping for Non-Toxic Baby Bottles: It is equally important to choose silicone baby bottles that are made of 100% food grade or medical grade silicone. Premium, Baby-Safe Silicone: Made with naturally hygienic, food-grade silicone that’s free from BPA, phthalates, lead, and PVC. 100% silicone interior.Evolutive and durable: The Élhée bottle transforms into a learning cup as the baby grows, extending its lifespan.

Silicone baby bottles make a great and comfortable alternative to glass, stainless steel, and plastic baby bottles because they are toxin-free, flexible, easy to clean and sterilize, and feel natural in your baby’s hands – and we love products that make life easier for both mom and baby! When I was growing up, most of the plastic products – including the bottles and dishes my mom used – contained Bisphenol A , or BPA. Dr. Brown's bottles are easy to spot and have been a leading brand for several decades. Each has a distinctive anti-colic vent down the middle, which you can leave in or take out (hence the name "Options"). They come in this classic long, narrow shape as well as in short, wide versions and there are Dr. Brown's glass bottles too.Comotomo makes high quality silicone baby bottles and nipples that are designed with breastfeeding in mind. BPS was created as a safer alternative to BPA, but its chemical structure is very similar. Since BPS is relatively new to the market, there is limited research available. We do know BPS is a potential endocrine disruptor and could disrupt reproductive systems, especially in young children. A silicone nipple shaped like breast promotes natural latch. ( FYI: The nipple is a bit on the firm side compared with many other baby bottles that have very soft and flexible nipples, though it’s not stiff enough to cause rejection by babies who are both breastfed and bottle fed.) Silicone is stable at high temperatures and can be safely boiled to sterilize. Submerge the bottles in boiling water for 5 minutes, carefully remove and let air dry. Washing your silicone baby bottles by hand with mild soap free of oils and fragrances is a great way to ensure their lastability.

The Flexy Silicone Baby Bottle is perfect for taking the stress out of bottle feeding. Its soft and flexible silicone body provides a familiar feel for baby, while the anti-colic teat, non-tip base and BPA-free design give you peace of mind. The safest, non-toxic baby bottles are glass bottles and stainless steel. Silicone is less safe than glass or stainless steel but much safer than plastic.For babies learning to hold their own bottle or moms preparing that 3:00am bottle, this is the downside of the glass bottle, whereas silicone bottles are lightweight and easy for the baby to hold. Stainless Steel Vs Silicone Bottle: There are several methods for cleaning, but whichever you opt for, it's important to follow these guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control: Some reviewers mention mold growing in the grooves where the internal plastic component meets with the silicone, so do make sure to give the bottles a good clean and let them dry thoroughly.

You can use the mason jar aluminum rings, mason bottle’s plastic rings, or my favorite choice the Ecojarz stainless steel rings to secure the silicone nipple to the mason jar. Silicone suits most babies and is the most commonly found material used in modern baby bottle teats, but traditional latex has its adherents and you may find your baby prefers a softer rubber teat to more durable silicone versions. Soak the bottles in boiling water. Then, apply a generous amount of baking soda all over the surface and rub it in to form a paste. Allow to sit until the paste dries out, and rinse thoroughly.

We explain how to choose the best baby bottle for your little one, however you plan to feed

The research is somewhat limited on silicone, but studies today show that it is a safe and durable alternative! The wide nipple base causes some of the remaining milk to pool inside the nipple unless you’re feeding at the right angle. Baby bottle sterilizers are also designed to steam clean your baby’s bottles at the right temperature. Pure silicone will not change color; silicone with fillers, however, will show a white streak when twisted.
