When it comes to feeding your baby, having the right bottle can make all the difference. With so many choices in materials, shapes, and features, selecting a bottle can be overwhelming. This guide simplifies the process, giving you all the essential information to choose the best bottle for your baby — and your lifestyle.
Bottle Materials: Plastic vs. Glass
Monixa offers a range of safe, BPA-free plastic baby bottles that are lightweight and easy to handle. Plastic bottles are especially handy for on-the-go families and are less likely to break when dropped. Glass bottles, while eco-friendly and durable, are heavier and can shatter, making them better suited for home use.
Nipple Types and Flow Rates
Baby bottle nipples vary in shape and flow speed. For newborns, slow-flow nipples are ideal to prevent choking and overfeeding. As your baby grows, you can move to medium or fast flow rates. Monixa bottles are compatible with a variety of nipples so you can customize the feeding experience based on your baby’s age and preference.
Anti-Colic Design
Many Monixa bottles are designed with anti-colic vents to help reduce gas, spit-up, and fussiness. These vents allow air to flow back into the bottle instead of into your baby’s tummy. If your baby seems uncomfortable after feedings, an anti-colic design could make a big difference.
Bottle Size and Convenience
Start with smaller bottles (60ml or 2 oz) for newborns. As your baby grows, switch to larger sizes (240ml or 8 oz) and (300ml or 10 oz). Monixa’s baby bottles come in small, medium and large options, designed for easy cleaning and safe sterilization. They also work well with warmers and most sterilizing systems.
Final Tips
- Look for bottles that are dishwasher-safe and easy to assemble.
- Monitor your baby’s response to each bottle type — some babies prefer specific nipple shapes or flow speeds.
- If you’re switching between breastfeeding and bottle feeding, choose a breast-like nipple to ease the transition.
