Go ahead to know about some basic information of baby feeding bottle: -
Which baby bottle sizes to choose?
Before you can bottle-feed your baby, you still need to be equipped with it. Except that there are several sizes of bottle, you might as well buy the largest bottles: who can do more, can do less.
Beginner's mistake:
Ideal for baby's first meals, the small 150 ml formats are not at all an additional marketing argument for selling bottles to young parents. They prevent there from being too much air in the bottle: your baby will swallow less and the bottle will have to be tilted less to give it to baby. So buy 2-3 small baby bottles, which will be used when you return from maternity. You will then have time to buy baby bottles in 270 and then 330 ml.

The choice of the pacifier for the baby's bottle
You may not know it, but the pacifier plays a big role in the baby bottle feeding! It is this which allows the baby to absorb the milk, it is therefore important that he can take it well in the mouth, that it suits him and that it delivers the appropriate amount of drink.
The flat-tipped teat is ideal for offering baby an adapted passage of the breast, when breastfeeding is practiced, from a bottle.The round-tipped pacifier is also very popular and has the merit of adapting to the child's need for sucking, to offer him a continuous breastfeeding without fatigue. There are even 3-speed round nipples that let you adjust the flow in real time!What about the flow rate of the bottle nipple?
Prefer the slow flow of bottle feeding for newborns and the fast flow for children over 18 months. There are between 4 to 5 flow rates depending on the baby's age and allowing adapting to different types of milk, more or less thick.
Glass bottle or plastic bottle?
Glass bottles have long been opposed to plastic bottles, arguing that plastic bottles are dangerous because of the presence of bisphenol A - also called BPA. Rest assured, the bottles are guaranteed today without bisphenol A (according to the regulations in force). You can therefore choose a plastic bottle with your eyes closed.
Glass baby bottles are becoming more and more used again, in particular thanks to their pharmaceutical grade glass which makes them even more durable over time and ultra-resistant to thermal shock.

How to prepare baby's bottle?
Make sure to wash your hands first, then take the clean bottle, formula and a bottle of water.
Fill the feeding bottle with spoon by water up to the graduation mark.Then add the number of spoonfuls of powdered milk, making sure to level the spoonful, with the blade of a knife for example.Close the feeding bottle then mix by rolling it between your hands and then shaking it up and down until the preparation is homogeneous. And there you go, it's close!How to clean the bottles?
No more sterilization of bottles, so painful and time-consuming! Now, pediatricians no longer recommend doing this. A simple cleaning after baby's meal is enough, whether in the dishwasher or by hand. If you don't have enough bottles for the day, you will need to wash them yourself. Once the bottle is finished, rinse it before washing it thoroughly with hot water and washing up liquid, then rinsing it with cold water. A bottle brush will help you get rid of any leftover milk, whether it's in the bottle or the nipple. Then you let it air dry before closing it for storage.
