We all know that there are two ways to feed your baby – breast milk and formula. The previous article talked about how to identify breast milk deficiencies, today I will talk about how to choose the right bottle. There are many types of bottles on the market, such as material, size, shape, etc., and how to choose a bottle suitable for babies has become a headache for mothers. Let's talk about the pit that Miller's mother stepped on!
When Miller Mom first bought a bottle, she only paid attention to the appearance and brand of the bottle, resulting in the need to turn on the headlights to see the scale clearly when she flushed milk powder in the middle of the night during the confinement period, and the silicone bottle was too soft, often pinched... It was really painful, so how to choose a suitable bottle? And look down.
1. Observe the transparency of the bottle
When choosing a bottle for your baby, be sure to see if the transparency of the bottle is good. The transparency of high-quality bottles is generally very good, and you can clearly see the formula inside the bottle, as well as the scale on the outside of the bottle.
2. Test the hardness of the bottle
The bottle must maintain a certain hardness, and cannot be deformed by the baby's hand. Bottles with a softer texture may release toxic substances from the bottle when they are put into high-temperature water, affecting the baby's health.
3. Smell the bottle
Bottles that are not up to standard in quality may smell odors as soon as they are opened, and when choosing a bottle, Bao Ma still has to smell whether the bottle has a peculiar smell.
4. The material of the bottle
When choosing a bottle for the baby, we must pay attention to the material of the bottle, after all, the baby's physical health is the first. When viewing the material of the bottle, you should choose a bottle that does not contain bisphenols, if it contains bisphenols, it may release bisphenol A when the bottle is heated, which may affect the metabolism of the baby's body and may also cause the baby to have precocious puberty.
5. The capacity of the bottle
This is selected according to the size of the baby's age, the baby is 120 ml, after three months choose 180 ml, and six months and above 240 ml. Bottles with handles are ready to be used when your baby is eight to ten months old and has the ability to grasp.
Miller's mother said that young mothers should not only look at the appearance and brand of the bottle, must start with the right baby bottle, and do not choose a low-priced bottle, after all, the price is a penny, and good milk is not cheap. Don't be fooled by the flamboyant appearance of the bottle, and be sure to avoid the pit that Miller's mother has stepped on.
