The learning bottle: between the birth bottle and the glass bottle
The training bottle can be defined as a step between the birth bottle and the glass. Unlike the classic baby bottle, it does not have a nipple, but a pouring spout, also known as a spout.
A learning "glass" that won't spill
As the second name suggests, the bottle's spout doesn't leak liquid if it's dropped, unlike the nipple, which can start leaking if your child decides to let go before he's finished drinking all the milk he's supposed to.
But unlike glass, it requires several assembly parts to function, in the same way as a traditional baby bottle used after weaning or during mixed feeding. In addition to a pouring spout, it may include :
- a lid,
- a hermetic closing system (ring or clamping ring),
- as well as a central part where the liquid is poured (container).
This design offers excellent leak prevention!
