Best baby bottles to feed your little one with convenience and ease

Source: MAM

Whether you’re bottle-feeding, combination feeding, breastfeeding the occasional expressed bottle or simply transitioning from breast to bottle, knowing which bottle to choose for your baby can be a daunting prospect.

As a first-time parent, you may be shocked to learn just how many choices are available when selecting a bottle for your baby. The path to feeding your baby doesn’t always run smoothly either - knowing when and how to introduce a bottle can be a fine art, particularly if you are currently breastfeeding or planning to combination feed and want to avoid nipple confusion.

Every baby is different, so whilst to a certain degree finding the right baby bottle will be down to trial and error, here are some things to consider when making your choice:

  • How you are feeding? - Are you formula feeding, expressing breast milk for your baby or doing a combination of the two? Some bottles are more closely matched in both size, texture and flexibility to natural feeding, and as such, are often better accepted by babies who are used to the breast.
  • - How easy are the bottles to clean? Are there lots of individual parts to remove and sterilise? Is the neck wide enough to clean around.
