The trouble with gas
Babies are prone to gas and colic, which can cause them discomfort and distress. While there are many remedies and preventative measures parents can take, such as burping after feeding or using a pacifier, choosing the right baby bottle can also make a big difference. Here are some of the best baby bottles for gas, according to experts.
Dr. Brown’s Original Wide-Neck Bottle
These bottles use a vent system that allows air to flow through but prevents it from mixing with the milk or formula. This can help reduce gas, burping, and spit-up. The wide-neck design also makes it easier to clean and fill. Dr. Brown’s bottles come in various sizes and shapes, so you can choose the one that works best for your baby.
Comotomo Natural Feel Baby Bottle
These bottles are designed to mimic the shape and feel of a breast, which can be more comfortable for babies to feed from. The soft, squeezable silicone body also helps reduce air intake and prevents nipple confusion. Comotomo bottles are easy to clean and don’t have many small parts to assemble, which can save time and hassle for busy parents.
Philips Avent Anti-colic Bottle
These bottles have a unique AirFree vent system that keeps the nipple full of milk or formula, rather than air. This can help reduce gas, colic, and reflux. The wide-neck design and ergonomic shape also make it easy to hold and clean. Philips Avent bottles come in different sizes and nipple flows, so you can tailor them to your baby’s stage and needs.
MAM Easy Start Anti-Colic Bottle
These bottles have a vented base that regulates the air pressure inside, which can help reduce gas and burping. The ergonomic shape and skinsoft silicone nipple mimic the shape and feel of a breast, and the self-sterilizing feature makes them easy to clean on the go. MAM bottles also come in fun designs and colors to appeal to both babies and parents.
Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature Bottle
These bottles have a wide, breast-like nipple that promotes a natural latch and comfortable feeding. The anti-colic valve allows air to vent from the bottom, rather than through the milk or formula, which can help reduce gas and fussiness. Tommee Tippee bottles are also easy to hold and clean, and come in different sizes and shapes to suit your baby’s feeding habits.
