Now that you have been through our review of the 11 best feeding bottles in India, we will give you a few tips on what to look out for while buying a feeding bottle for your baby. 

How To Choose The Best Feeding Bottle In India

●   Material of the Bottle There are a bunch of materials that you can choose from. Glass bottles are considered better as they are free of chemicals and last longer. The downside is that they are prone to breaking. But it is possible to get silicon covers for the bottles to avoid damage. Plastic bottles are more durable but they deteriorate and need to be frequently replaced. You need to carefully check that the plastic bottle is not chipped or cracked and that they come with a ‘BPA-Free’ label. Among plastic bottles, an opaque bottle is the best option since these are BPA free and you should  also check for the recycle symbol. Silicon bottles are very light and easy for a baby to hold and they are also unbreakable, so can be used for a long time. Stainless steel bottles are unbreakable and BPA-free. Like silicon bottles they last long. ●   Latex vs silicone nipple Latex nipples simulate the mother’s breast more closely as they are softer and more flexible, but they do not last as long as silicon nipples. Silicon nipples are also less porous and easier to maintain. They can be cleaned in the dishwasher and are also more heat resistant and less prone to bacterial infections. ●     Size of the nipple Though all nipples come with an age indicator, you should upturn the bottle and see if the milk drips out steadily. If the nipple is too small, the baby may have to struggle to suck and if it’s too big, the baby might choke. There are a variety of nipples to choose from like bell or dome-shaped, naturally-shaped nipples that simulate the mother’s breast, orthodontic nipples for teething babies, and vented nipples that prevent the creation of a vacuum and colic.

Shape of the nipple

Choose a bottle with a nipple that has a large, broad base as it helps your baby to latch on properly. Nipples with narrow bases can cause choking as the base can get into the baby’s mouth, especially if the baby sucks very strongly. Choose a bottle that has an anti-colic valve so that your baby doesn’t suffer from wind or stomach pain.

Age of the baby

You need to choose a bottle that is age-appropriate for your baby. A newborn baby would need a bottle with a capacity of about 150 ml and a slow flow uptil the age of 3 months. Older babies require a feeding bottle with a capacity of about 330 ml which has a steady flow, and thus, a larger nipple with multiple holes would work better. ●     Leak-free It’s very important that a milk feeding bottle should be leak-free so that there is no mess and wastage of milk.

Ease of cleaning

A baby feeding bottle should be easy to clean. Bottles with a wide mouth and not too many parts are the easiest to clean. Vented bottles are a bit difficult to clean; and thus, not very convenient when traveling. ●     Weight Always opt for lightweight bottles so that your baby can hold it while feeding so that you can train them for feeding on their own. ●     Maintenance It is very important to keep sterilizing the bottles for the safety of your baby. Harsh detergents must be avoided as it can be harmful, so the cost of maintenance should be considered before buying the feeding bottle.
