Best breastfeeding bottles : shaped just like mom's nipples

When transitioning between breastfeeding and bottle-feeding, choosing a bottle that mimics the natural feel of the breast is important in order to maintain a comfortable feeding experience. Studies show that approximately 60% of mothers who introduce bottle-feeding to their baby experience nipple confusion, but using bottles that are similar to breasts can promote smoother transitions and help preserve breastfeeding routines. Breastfeeding bottles like Elhee’s, designed to replicate the shape of a mother’s nipple, can reduce nipple confusion and allow a better experience, both for the baby and for the mother.

FAQ

Why choose an Elhee breastfeeding bottle?

What are breastfeeding bottles?

A breastfeeding bottle is designed to reproduce the shape, sensation, and flow of a mother’s breast. These bottles are made to encourage a natural latch, helping babies transition smoothly between breastfeeding and bottle-feeding. Breastfeeding bottles are particularly beneficial for mothers who would like to alternate between breastfeeding and bottle-feeding.

How to choose the best bottles for breastfed babies?

When choosing bottles for breastfed babies, look for those that mimic the shape and feel of the breast, such as ones with soft, flexible nipples. It’s also, of course, very important to be aware of the composition of the baby bottle you choose : what is it made of?

When to introduce bottles to a breastfed newborn?

It is highly recommended to wait until breastfeeding has become an easy process, usually around 3 or 4 weeks, before introducing a bottle. This helps ensure that the baby has developed a strong latch and a good feeding routine.

How many baby bottles do I need?

If you’re breastfeeding, having around 3 or 4 bottles is usually enough. This allows for flexibility, especially when you’re pumping or need to feed your baby when you're not available. It also makes it easier to alternate between breastfeeding and bottle-feeding while maintaining a supply of clean bottles ready for use

Can bottle feeding affect breastfeeding?

Yes, indeed, it happens sometimes that bottle-feeding affects breastfeeding, particularly if the baby experiences nipple confusion. This will occur when a baby finds it easier to drink from a bottle and has difficulty going back to breastfeeding. Choosing a breastfeeding bottle that mimics the natural feel of the breast can help reduce that possibility in order to allow you to manage your baby’s feeding habits.

What are the benefits of breastfeeding bottles shaped like mom's nipples?

Breastfeeding bottles shaped like mom’s nipples help babies latch more naturally, helping reduce nipple confusion and making it easier for breastfed babies to take a bottle. These bottles promote a smooth transition between breastfeeding and bottle-feeding, making it easier for babies to switch between the two and ensuring a more comfortable experience for the parents.

How can I tell if a breastfeeding bottle is safe and BPA-free?

In order to figure out if a bottle is safe and BPA-free, you need to be attentive when buying it and look closely at the description of the product. It’s usually a good idea to look for labels or certifications that ensure that it is made from medical-grade silicone, BPA-free plastic and that there are no harmful chemicals (bisphenol A, formaldehyde, phthalates…). At Elhee, we put a lot of effort into using the best possible materials to offer you a worry-free feeding experience.
