Learning curves during first feeding sessions with your newborn. Bigger meals for your growing baby’s growing appetite. Transitioning to independently holding bottles and drinking from straws. Although every baby’s experience will look different, the universal truth is that feeding needs change—and the right bottles can help support this journey every step of the way.
Whether you plan to use bottles sporadically or exclusively during the first few months, you will want to use those with a flow that’s ideal for little tummies. With proper flow and venting, the right bottle can help decrease incidents of spit-up, burping and gas. That’s why pediatricians and parents alike appreciate the Dr. Brown’s Natural Flow Anti-colic Options+™ bottles, which are clinically proven to reduce colic. With styles designed for preemies and babies with complicated oral feeding needs, too, every family can be set up for feeding success.
As your baby grows and is ready to take on more independent feeding, the right sippy spouts and straws can help them feel empowered. For parents, this can also help ease the transition from bottles to sippy cups, which is recommended around your baby’s first birthday.
These bottles will support your baby (and you!) during the first year and beyond.
