With a baby, there must be bottles. But there are so many kinds of bottles on the market, different materials, different shapes Which one is suitable for your children? Many parents are worried about choice.
Xiaogu is also aware of your parents' entanglement, so he has made a strategy for you in the selection of milk bottles. Let's talk about how to select milk bottles.
In fact, the selection of milk bottles mainly depends on the material of milk bottles, the material of nipples, the shape of nipple holes and the caliber of milk bottles. Let's talk about it one by one.
01
Bottle material
Generally speaking, the material of milk bottle is mainly divided into glass and plastic, and a few brands have silica gel and other materials. Plastics also include PC, PPSU, PES, PP, etc., of which PPSU is the safest and best quality, followed by PES, and finally pp. PC has been eliminated.
One
Silica gel bottle
Silica gel milk bottle is made of colorless, tasteless and non-toxic liquid silica gel (LSR), which does not contain bisphenol A and will not be broken. The body of silica gel milk bottle is soft, light and durable, easy to suck, not easy to age, heat-resistant, chemical resistant, not easy to break, high transparency of products, safe materials, easy to carry, but the price is high.
Two
Silica gel bottle
The glass milk bottle has good safety, high transparency, good heat resistance, and is not easy to scratch, not easy to hide dirt, easy to clean, many times of high-temperature sterilization and not bad, suitable for newborns who need to take milk for many times. For newborn babies within 3 months, Xiaogu suggests that parents should choose glass milk bottles.
But four months later, the baby began to mischievous, considering the safety, it should be replaced by plastic bottles or silicone bottles.
Three
Plastic bottle
Let's start with a comparison of heat resistance, corrosion resistance, transparency and cleanliness:
Heat resistance: PPSU & gt; PES = PC & gt; PP
Corrosion resistance: PPSU & gt; PES & gt; PC & gt; PP
Transparency: PC & gt; PES & gt; PPSU & gt; PP
Cleanliness: PPSU = PES & gt; PC & gt; PP
PC milk bottle (obsolete)
PP bottle
Advantages: PP milk bottle has high chemical stability, good health performance, high heat resistance, non-toxic and harmless to human body, and low price. The temperature below 130 ℃ is basically safe;
Disadvantages: PP milk bottle has short life, short time of long-term high temperature resistance, and no PC milk bottle is transparent and beautiful.
PES bottle
Advantages: PES milk bottle is a kind of plastic milk bottle, which is one of the most popular milk bottle materials at present.
Light and fall resistant, easy to clean, safe without bisphenol A; high heat resistance, heat resistance 180 ℃.
Disadvantages: not easy to clean.
PPSU bottle
Advantages: PPSU is the most ideal and reassuring plastic milk bottle material. PPSU milk bottle is widely used by children in Japan, Europe and America. It is light and resistant to falling. It is the best in terms of safety, temperature resistance, hydrolysis resistance and impact resistance.
Disadvantages: the price is more expensive, and the variety is less, not easy to buy.
02
Nipple material
It can be said that the nipple is the most important thing. Everything of the newborn is delicate. Baby's mouth is very soft at this time. The teeth haven't grown out yet. Generally speaking, the nipple made of material can't be moved when it is put in baby's mouth. At this time, it needs a nipple with the same touch as mother's nipple to make baby have normal sucking function.
At present, there are two kinds of nipple materials on the market: latex nipple and silicone nipple.
Latex:
Advantages: natural rubber, elastic, very soft, very close to the mother's nipple, so that the baby has the same touch when sucking breast milk.
Disadvantages: latex smell, some babies may not like it.
Silica gel:
Advantages: no rubber smell, very close to mother's nipple, but slightly harder than latex, heat and corrosion resistant, not easy to aging
Disadvantages: some babies will have a sense of exclusion when sucking.
03
Nipple hole shape
What kind of nipple is best depends on what kind of nipple the baby adapts to. No matter how good the nipple is, it is also not good for the baby to eat uncomfortable. The best way to choose a bottle and nipple is according to the actual situation of the baby. As long as the baby uses it properly, it is best.
Round hole small size (s): suitable for newborns who can't control the amount of milk.
Round hole medium (m): suitable for 2-3 months, sucking with s too long. The amount of milk and the number of sucking movements are very close.
Round hole large size (L): it is suitable for babies who have been fed with the above two kinds of nipples for too long, but have insufficient quantity and light weight.
Y-shaped hole: suitable for babies who can control their milk intake and play while drinking.
Cross hole: suitable for drinking juice, rice flour or other coarse-grained drinks, also can be used for milk.
04
Bottle caliber
Standard mouth
Advantages: the size of the nipple is suitable, some nipples can be used in general, and the price is relatively low
Disadvantages: it is not easy to pour milk powder.
Wide mouth
Advantages: easy to soak milk.
Disadvantages: some babies with wide mouth pacifiers are not used to drinking. The price is relatively high.
They are only different in the caliber of the bottle mouth and other functions, without decisive advantages and disadvantages. Standard mouth use habits, mothers can also skillfully bubble milk. Babies with wide mouths will get used to it. This can be purchased and used according to personal needs.
Tips for choosing a bottle
● bottle capacity should meet baby's needs
● consider your baby's pacifier habits
After a baby is used to a certain bottle pacifier, if a new pacifier is changed, sometimes resistance may occur, so parents should carefully select when purchasing.
Different kinds of bottle nipples have their own advantages. How to choose depends on the use habits of children. In addition, the softness and air permeability of the bottle pacifier are also the points that parents should pay attention to.
When do you need to change the bottle?
According to the different material of the bottle, the service life of the bottle is also different
Plastic milk bottle:
It is recommended to replace it once every 4 to 6 months. After the plastic material is used for a period of time, the bottle body will appear fuzzy mist and milk scale is not easy to remove due to brushing and oxidation. If the color of the bottle changes, it may be because it has been used for a long time, or the ingredients of the bottle have changed chemically,
If the bottle is damaged or discolored, replace it immediately.
○ glass bottle:
It is recommended to use it for about 1 year. Although the glass bottle is not easy to wear, it will also accumulate dirt. Under the condition of long-term milk powder soaking, if the cleaning is not thorough, it is easy to accumulate a layer of yellow substance at the bottom of the bottle, which is also an important "sign" for the baby to replace the new bottle.
Once the glass milk bottle has cracks, it should be replaced immediately to avoid hurting the baby.
