We've already talked about dietary diversification. Together, we've even talked about DME, or "child-led diversification". For toddlers seeking autonomy, DME encourages discovery and the development of the 5 senses. But have you ever imagined that could also stimulate your child's senses ? This is one of the major advantages of medical-grade silicone baby bottles. Find out why?
Choosing a feeding bottle: a matter of taste
You've probably noticed that, from the very first months, your baby expresses his tastes as soon as he can. For example, formula-fed babies don't like them all. If you've recently changed your baby's milk and he's not taking his bottles as well, it may simply be because he doesn't like the taste of the new milk.
You haven't changed anything? Take a look at the bottle's nipple. If it's made of rubber, the smell may be bothering your child. Similarly, a glass bottle may be too cold, and a used nipple a little too rough. All of which can disrupt your baby's senses and feeding.
Awakening the senses doesn't wait for diversification
Your child's 5 senses help him discover the world around him: sounds, smells and soon colors. And while mealtimes are essential to stimulate them, there's no need to wait for the introduction of solid foods to begin. In fact, this is where the Élhée revolution begins.
The silicone feeding bottle: ergonomic, sensory and emotional for your baby
To accompany and enrich the sensory bubble that surrounds your baby from birth, Élhée has chosen to design and create a silicone feeding bottle at once ergonomic between your hands and his, sensory in his mouth and under his fingers, but also emotional through its curves of profoundly feminine inspiration.
Silicone bottle preserves taste
Infant formula or breast milk, our bibRond is just as suitable for powdered milk as for breast milk if you practicemixed breastfeeding. The physiological silicone teats with which it is equipped have no taste. They therefore preserve flavors, while delivering baby's milk formula at a more or less slow rate. Similarly, the silicone body of bibRond does not alter the taste of the drink.
Tip: if you'rebreast-feeding, the food you eat changes the taste of your milk. In this way, your baby's meal, whether breast or bottle-fed, becomes a real sensory experience to share, sometimes even revealing your baby's preferences.
Silicone bottles don't disturb the sense of smell
Tip: when changing bottles or teats, place a few drops of your milk on the new teat. The familiar scent of milk will help your baby find his way around and become familiar with the new object.
Silicone bottle is pleasant to the touch
Infants can't play with their food (yet). However, for a healthy feeding bottle with a unique texture, Élhée has chosen an innovative material. Here again, medical-grade silicone makes all the difference. With asoft and delicate "peach-skin" feel, it invites curiosity and enables babies to exercise their sense of touch from an early age.
Tip: during feeding, place your baby's hand between yours and the surface of the bibRond to help him discover its texture, tame it and easily recognize it at each of his next feedings.
Silicone bottle shape stimulates sight
After birth, babies are quickly able to identify their mother's face when she leans over them. Her mouth, her smile, her eyes... everything about her triggers in them a sensation of pleasure and happiness. To accompany this sense of fulfillment, Élhée wanted to design an iconic silicone feeding bottle that would be instantly recognizable. To achieve this,we took our inspiration from the nurturing breast, its appealing curves and reassuring shape, to give birth to our bibRond.
Tip: from the very first feedings with bibRond, don't hesitate to combine its roundness with that of your breasts, for example by practicing skin-to-skin contact at each feeding.
The bottle, a moment of exchange to discover sounds
Even in your womb, baby can hear everything. Sounds, music... with a little training, thanks to haptonomy in particular, he can even learn to react to the sound of your voice. Once in the world, your words become the most beautiful melodies for him or her. To accompany him/her, and above all to avoid disturbing them, we've opted for a soft, sound-attenuating material. The Élhée silicone feeding bottle is born!
Tip: on days when baby doesn't take the bottle as well, if he's distracted or irritated, try talking to him or singing a little tune to get his attention. Together, you can also gently stroke the bibRond's supple body until he calms down.
Re-enchanting the milky parenthesis
For a mother, there's nothing more beautiful than feeding her child, watching him eat and enjoying himself. So, an unfinished bottle, an unaccepted teat, crying, the infant colic...make you wonder and sometimes even worry.Elhée's medical-grade silicone feeding bottleand physiological anti-colic nipple put such worries to rest, and ensure perfect preservation of breastmilk or formula, for a forever-enchanted milk interlude.
