Three Top Tips While Choosing Best Baby Bottles to Prevent Gas

A newborn’s discomfort caused by intestinal gas, generally at night, has been a very common concern of most parents as nearly 60 percent of babies are found affected. Gas bubbles in the colic generate painful aching pressure once they get trapped in your baby’s developing digestive tract, which is usually experienced during their first 4-6 months.

Common causes that trigger gas in colic (for breastfed and formula bottle-fed babies)

•  Heavily flowing milk from breast / imbalance of the foremilk and hindmilk;

•  Inaccurate latch-on the bottle nipple causes babies to swallow excess air;

•  Shaking of the bottle for blending formula milk results in air-bubbles in it;

To solve all these problems in a single shot, you are required to choose the right set of best baby bottles to prevent gas. Follow the four effective actions as stated:

Choose the most scientific bottle and nipple in combination

The best baby bottles to prevent gas would have breast-like soft silicone nipples that contour along a baby’s mouth and lips while preventing all changes to mix air together with the milk formula. The nipples should be chosen out of the flow, determining holes (available in 0m, 3m, 6m, and 12m) depending on your baby’s age and gulping capacity. With this, the milk will flow gradually, smoothly and suitably enabling your baby to enjoy its meal without having to gulp hurriedly and excessively. Remember that bottle-feeding should take minimum of 20 minutes but obviously not an hour or merely 5 minutes.

Effortless hand-free blending

Nurturing a baby is a heavenly and exciting experience for any parent. So, irrespective of the time when your baby requires feeding, the course should be enjoyable and relaxing for you. Instead of following the traditional techniques of shaking and blending your baby’s meal which may include milk, cereals and other dietetic in the bottle that generates air bubbles and cause colic pain, go with the state-of-the-art baby bottle blender which has emerged as a super-genius solution to mix your baby’s meal without producing foams or air bubbles with its amazing hands-free mixer located at the bottom of the bottle. All you have to do is to pour the diet inside the bottle, seal the cap, and then press the button positioned underside on the exterior. On pressing, the blender will spin with high speed and blend the meal within minutes.

Look for great features

So, the issues related to the nipple and manual shaking that cause colic pain are now over. However, your journey doesn’t end here. And look for the other features such as bottles that have easy-to-hold shape, wide neck, and having BPA/PVC/Phthalates free plastics. Easy-to-hold bottles not only help you to hold it in the right angle but also make it portable and enable your growing baby to grip it without any hassle. The bottle should be outfitted with USB rechargeable batteries with real-time battery indicator letting you know the time to recharge the cell.

Conclusion

Pediatricians suggest that burping your ‘little one’ is an effective way to relieve them from colic pain even if they have consumed some part of air that causes gas. All you have to do it to hold the baby firmly against your shoulder while supporting his/her bottom with your left hand and pat gently on the back left side where the stomach is located. Mind keeping a small cloth, dipper, or baby bib nearby, enabling you to clean the baby’s face in case it spits up, which also emits the remaining gas, if any.
