Now there are four baby bottles at home, and the silicone one is the most expensive. At first, she didn't know what kind of bottle was good. I heard that silicone is the most expensive and safest, so I bought silicone first. Everything else felt good, so I bought one of plastic and glass.
Results From Nuo Nuo's birth to his full moon, after many attempts, Nuo Nuo didn't like PPSU and silicone bottles to suck milk. Nuo Nuo's mother guessed that PPSU's bottle might have a hard nipple, while the silicone bottle has a small capacity and is inconvenient to use.
So now Nuo Nuo mainly feeds on glass bottles, but two glass bottles have been "eliminated", both of which were accidentally broken when shaking milk, and the consumption rate is also amazing. So, is it better to have an unbreakable bottle?
The most common feeding bottle materials on the market are plastic, glass and silicone. Except that glass is easily broken, other materials are quite resistant to falling.
Among them, plastics are divided into polypropylene, polyethersulfone and PPSU. Each material has advantages and disadvantages, depending on which disadvantages you can tolerate and which advantages you need.
glass bottle
It is made of high-grade glass with high heat resistance, does not contain bisphenol a(BPA, a carcinogen), and has a high safety factor. In addition, it has good transparency and is easy to clean. If you encounter acidic and alkaline substances, you won't discharge substances harmful to your health. However, this kind of bottle is weak and easy to break. Babies before half a year old can use this bottle because they need their parents to hold it.
Polypropylene bottle
PP bottles made of PP materials are usually famous for their safety, portability and fall resistance. This material PP has the characteristics of high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, good surface finish and fall resistance. In addition, the material has good thermal stability, which can ensure the safety of PP bottles even at the high temperature of 1 10 degrees Celsius. The most noteworthy thing is the safety of PP bottles. Because it does not contain carcinogens, it is non-toxic and harmless, and the price is also very cheap and cost-effective. It is worth buying by mothers. However, the life of PP bottle is short, so it is recommended to replace it once every three months.
Polyether sulfone bottle
PES bottle is light in weight, resistant to falling, easy to clean, and safe without bisphenol A; High heat resistance, heat resistance of 180℃. However, the disadvantage of PES bottle is also obvious, that is, the residual milk dirt is not easy to clean and needs to be replaced frequently.
PPSU bottle
The PPSU bottle is made of the safest new material PPSU (polyphenylene sulfone), which does not contain bisphenol A and is resistant to high temperature 180 degrees. It is safe and transparent for glass bottles, and light and resistant to falling for polypropylene bottles. The bottle is brown. The bottle is light, resistant to falling and not easy to break, and it is not easy to produce chemical toxins by brewing and heating or steam disinfection. Does not contain bisphenol A, and is heat-resistant 180 degrees. It can be heated by microwave, which is expensive.
Silica gel bottle
Silica gel bottle is made of liquid silica gel (LSR), which does not contain bisphenol A and will not be broken. It has excellent transparency, tear strength, resilience, yellowing resistance, thermal aging resistance and weather resistance.
In addition, there are stainless steel bottles and ceramic bottles. Stainless steel bottle is suitable for babies over 1 year old. Many characteristics of ceramic bottles are similar to those of glass, but the thermal insulation performance is better than that of glass bottles.
In a word, plastic bottles are light and not easy to break, but PP material has a short life, PES is easy to leave milk dirt and difficult to clean, and PPSU is not as transparent as glass. Silicone bottles combine the advantages of glass and plastic, so they are a bit expensive.
Babies of different ages have different breast-feeding amounts, so the capacity of the bottle needs to be different. Yujie suggested that newborns use 120 to 180 ml bottles. 4 months ago, the baby can slowly expand to 180 to 200 ml. From 4 to 12 months, it is recommended to use 220 to 260 ml. If the baby is over one year old or has a big appetite, it is recommended to choose a bottle of 260 to 330 ml.
The shape of the bottle is also important. For babies from 0 to 3 months old, Sister Yu suggested using a round bottle. Because the inside of the bottleneck is smooth, it is convenient for the natural flow of milk, and it is very easy for the baby to drink.
For babies from 3 months to 1 year, it is recommended to use round or curved bottles. Because with the baby's growth, the desire to grasp things with small hands has gradually become stronger, and the arc-shaped or ring-shaped bottle is convenient for the baby to grasp when drinking milk. /kloc-Babies over 0/year need to use a bottle with a handle. Because the bottle with handle can not only help the baby hold the bottle firmly, but also facilitate them to drink milk in different postures.
No matter what kind of bottle, it needs to be replaced after a period of use:
1. Due to long-term brushing, the surface of the bottle will be oxidized and the scale on the surface of the bottle will be worn away.
2. Long-term use will also accumulate a lot of milk dirt on the inner wall of the bottle, or cover the inner wall with a layer of fog.
To sum up, it is generally recommended to change the bottle once every six months.
