Tips on Choosing the Best Baby Bottle for Your Infant
Not terribly long ago, baby bottles required a level of
scientific sophistication unheard of today. Bottles were
glass, nipples were rubber, and everything had to be
sterilized in boiling water at all times of day or night. |

All things feeding-related were heavy, often hot and even
breakable—less than ideal! Luckily, modern plastic and
disposable bottles mean that every infant can travel with
his or her own food ready to go, and parents don't have to
work nearly as hard at feeding their babies either formula
or breast milk. High tech bottles in a variety of colors and
styles are available for nearly every occasion.

- Silicone nipples. These updates to the rubber nipple
last longer and are less likely to crack or break off,
making them safer.
- Gas prevention through venting and anti-vacuum
systems. To prevent air in the tummy and reduce the
chances of colicky crying, many bottles are now equipped
with liquid flow systems that keep air out of babies'
tummies. Don't go with old-fashioned bottles if your child
is prone to tummy troubles; get the modern versions to
keep your child comfortable.
- Disposable liners. Best for traveling or any time you
don't want to mess around with sterilization (although you
still need sterile nipples for each feeding). You can put
a liner in the bottle, use it, throw it out and replace
it. Clean and simple.
- Wider mouths. Look for wider mouths on your baby
bottles to make cleaning them much easier. You'll still
want a bottle brush to scrape away the solids that tend to
collect on the sides and neck of the bottle. Some bottles
are now designed to match up with breast pumps, so you can
put breast milk directly into the bottle without having to
shift between glass storage jars and funnels.
- Handsfree—liquid flow tube, bottle can be attached to
stroller. The makers of handsfree bottles design them to
minimize unwanted air. Your child can drink from a
self-feeding bottle while talking on his cordless phone!
