Lansinoh NaturalWave Fast Flow Teats (Pack of 2)

Product Information

Anti colic: The bottles have ‘Active Flow Venting Technology’. Born Free claims that their bottles improved colic symptoms more than anti-colic bottles from other brands (7).

A slow flow teat on a bottle may also help. A fast flow teat can cause the milk to flow too fast and continuously. A slow flow nipple may be more similar to breastfeeding as it helps the milk to flow more slowly and also allows your baby to pause feeding, in the same way as breastfeeding. The 5 colic symptoms they looked at included; crying, folding legs up to stomach, frowning and discomfort, face turning red and pain spasms. Reference, ""Clinical research of Pigeon Peristaltic PLUS™"", Moscow, 2013 & Woolridge et al., ""How Breast-Fed Babies Bottle Feed"", Leeds, 2011. Get somebody else to feed your baby. if your baby can smell your breast milk it can be confusing for them. Take time to find the right bottle and teat for your baby. Some babies prefer a particular style of bottle. So if one baby bottle isn’t right, don’t give up.Mum will usually notice a hard lump or wedge-shaped area of engorgement in the vicinity of the plug that may feel tender, hot, swollen or look reddened. Occasionally mum will only notice localized tenderness or pain, without an obvious lump or area of engorgement. The location of the plug may shift. The claim: Born Free claim their bottles showed more improvement in colic symptoms than other anti-colic bottles.

Your breastmilk supply will reduce if your body thinks you need to feed your baby less. If you want to keep up your supply of milk make sure you express at the same time you’d normally be feeding (2). Good for breastfeeding babies: Dr Brown says the contoured breast-like shape of the teats have been designed to encourage a proper latch and mimic breastfeeding. They claim the soft silicone teat also offers a ‘more comfortable feeding experience’ and is designed to help babies switch between the breast and bottle. The level 1 teat provides a slow milk flow. Likewise, there are one or two anti-reflux bottles. This is quite a worrying claim. Reflux is a medical problem, and no bottle would ever be able to make it better. Also, the word "natural" used to describe a bottle might suggest that some bottles are less good, or unnatural, which is simply untrue. Babies could take part up to 7 months old and we know colic symptoms resolve themselves in older babies. Colic often improves by 6 months (5). Quite a few parents and their babies withdrew from the research 67% of the placebo group withdrew and 50% of the treatment group due to not fully completing the diary.

Breast feeding is natural and this has led to brands making these claims about their ‘breast like’ bottles. However some people may disagree that bottles can truly mimic the ‘real thing’.

There’s no definite best time to introduce a first bottle but it’s often recommended to wait until your baby is at least 4-6 weeks old, if you plan to continue breastfeeding. This is to allow breastfeeding to become established and to build up your milk supply (1). Will my baby take a bottle easily?We suggest inspecting the nipple for wear/tear daily and recommend changing the nipple every 7 weeks. If you notice the silicone is torn or compromised in any way, discard it. We also recommend not leaving the nipple in direct sunlight, heat, or leaving in disinfectant (“sanitizing solution”) for longer than instructions recommended as this may weaken the nipple. We DO NOT recommend heating breastmilk or any liquid for a baby or toddler in a microwave because the microwave can create hot spots that could burn baby and damage breastmilk nutrients. We do NOT recommend heating the bottle in the Microwave in any form. Natural baby bottles claim to be as close as possible to breastfeeding. The word ‘natural’ is used to mean the bottle is designed to mimic the breast as closely as possible, this could be in terms of shape, width, nipple shape or flow speed.
