An article, three dimensions, let the parents spend money on the blade -
According to the bottle body to distinguish the material, it is mainly divided into glass, plastic, silicone, stainless steel four.
In terms of material, the nipple is divided into two types: latex and silicone.

In addition to the material, there are the following elements for the purchase of bottles, which require special attention:
1. Light transmittance: The bottle itself needs to have sufficient light transmittance to facilitate the observation of the brewing of milk powder and the hygiene of the bottle;
2. The logo is obvious: the tick line of the bottle needs to be conspicuous enough to facilitate the clear tick line when soaking night milk;
3. Accurate scale: newborns need to be fed multiple times a day, and inaccurate scales will lead to improper milk mixing;
4. Caliber: Standard caliber bottles are more convenient to buy accessories, and wide caliber bottles are more convenient for brewing and cleaning.
Whether from the material, or the baby's growth cycle, the pacifier is a consumable, it is best to replace it once a month.
During use, if there is damage, discoloration, hardening or other conditions that affect the use, it also needs to be replaced in time.
In addition, when purchasing, you should also pay attention to whether the nipple has an anti-flatulence design. After all, we are making the baby full of milk, not full of gas.
The nipple is divided into the following types according to the hole type and flow, which can be selected according to the baby's age and dietary needs.
When actually purchasing, please pay attention to the accompanying instructions for use and use the product according to the shopping instructions.
After each feeding of your baby, clean and disinfect the bottle in time. The bottle has more dead corners, easy to accumulate milk stains, odor, simple brewing can not completely clean the bottle, need to use supporting tools for careful brushing.
The simplest method of disinfection can be boiled, that is, all parts are disassembled, completely immersed in water, and boiled. However, according to the different materials of the bottles, the methods and frequencies of disinfection are also different.
Glass bottles are recommended to be sterilized daily, starting with cold water until they are boiled, for 10 minutes.
Plastic bottles are easy to deform, it is recommended to disinfect once a week, disinfection need to first boil water and put it in, keep it for about 5 minutes.
1. When purchasing: according to the age of the child, the amount of milk pumping, the speed of pumping and the type of food, pay attention to the hole of the nipple is not the bigger the better.
Check the product identification, determine the material type, and reject the three no products. When encountering a free bottle, it is necessary to check it carefully.
According to the national standard, only natural rubber, cis-1,4-polyisoprene rubber, silicone rubber can be used to produce pacifiers.
2. Before use: Read the instructions carefully. After washing the nipple, it is recommended to boil in boiling water for 10 to 30 minutes.
3. When feeding: The head and neck narrowing of the nipple should be included in the baby's mouth to make sucking more comfortable.
4. Regular disinfection: The bottle is disinfected according to different methods according to the material. Sterilize the nipple and boil in boiling water for 5 minutes.
5. Timely replacement: On the one hand, if the nipple begins to change color, aging or damage, it should be replaced in time to ensure safety and hygiene; on the other hand, as the baby grows, parents need to adjust the model of the nipple in time according to the baby's pumping situation, instead of cutting the hole themselves!
6. Pay attention to withdrawal: As the baby grows and develops, parents need to guide the baby to withdraw the pacifier in time, so that the baby can gradually adapt to the straw and the open cup.
Long-term use of bottles for babies increases the risk of dental caries; the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that babies stop using bottles when they are one year old and completely withdraw at 18 months.
The bottle is small, but it is a testament to the baby's growth. As parents, we can only keep the bottom line of safety, and the rest depends on the baby's preferences.
