The birth of a baby is a time of joy, but also a time when parents face many decisions regarding equipment and accessories for their little one. One of the key items that will accompany you for many months is a feeding bottle . Whether you plan to breastfeed with occasional bottle feeding or opt for formula feeding exclusively, the right bottle will be an essential part of the layette. At our store, we understand the importance of comfort for both mother and newborn, which is why we've prepared a comprehensive guide to help you choose the perfect feeding bottle for your little one.
Why is choosing the right feeding bottle so important?
A bottle may seem like a simple container for milk, but in reality, it's a complex product that has a huge impact on a baby's feeding experience. A well-chosen feeding bottle supports proper newborn development, supports the natural sucking reflex, and minimizes problems associated with colic and spit-up.
An incorrectly selected bottle can lead to problems with proper latch-on, swallowing excessive amounts of air leading to colic, an increased risk of regurgitation, difficulty transitioning between breastfeeding and bottle feeding, and discomfort during feeding for both the baby and the parent.
In our store, we always advise parents to take the time to find the right bottle, as it is an investment in the healthy development and comfort of their child.

Our store offers carefully selected feeding bottles that meet the highest quality and safety standards. Here's an overview of the available models:
BIBS Bottle
BIBS bottles boast Scandinavian design and high-quality craftsmanship. They feature a minimalist look and ergonomic shape that ensures comfort for both parent and baby.

Lansinoh Feeding Bottles
Lansinoh is a brand with a long tradition of creating products that support breastfeeding, which is why their feeding bottles are especially recommended for mothers who want to combine breastfeeding with bottle feeding. Lansinoh bottles available in our store feature the unique NaturalWave® nipple, which was developed by lactation experts to closely mimic the natural movement of a baby's tongue while breastfeeding.
The anti-colic Air Ventilation System (AVS) effectively reduces the risk of air swallowing and colic. The bottles have an ergonomic shape with a wide base and narrow neck, ensuring stability and comfort during feeding.
In our store, you'll find Lansinoh bottles in 160ml and 240ml sizes, made of safe, BPA-free plastic. We also offer starter kits containing bottles in various sizes and additional nipples with different flow rates.

Suavinex bottles are distinguished by their unique, anatomical nipple, which perfectly imitates the shape of a mother's nipple during feeding. The nipple is made of ultra-soft silicone, making it comfortable and gentle on baby's delicate gums.
The innovative anti-colic system in Suavinex bottles consists of a three-piece valve that regulates air and milk flow, reducing the risk of colic and spit-up. Bottles are available in a variety of design lines, from classic, elegant patterns to fun, colorful motifs.

What should you pay attention to when choosing a feeding bottle for a newborn?
Choosing the right feeding bottle is a process that should take into account both the baby's needs and the parents' preferences. Here are the most important factors to consider:
1. Material of manufacture
The bottles available in our store are made primarily of two types of materials: glass and BPA-free plastic. Each material has its advantages and disadvantages.
Glass bottles are durable, easy to clean, and don't absorb odors. They're also more environmentally friendly because they last for years. However, they're heavier and more susceptible to breakage.
Plastic bottles are lightweight and drop-resistant, making them convenient for everyday use and travel. All plastic bottles available in our store are free of BPA and other harmful substances.
2. Anti-colic system
Colic is a problem that affects many newborns, so a good anti-colic system in a feeding bottle is extremely important. All bottles available in our store are equipped with advanced anti-colic systems, which vary in design but share the same goal: minimizing the risk of your baby swallowing air while feeding.
Some bottles, like Lansinoh and Suavinex, have vent valves located in the nipple. Others, like B.Box, use double valves to regulate airflow.
3. The pacifier and its shape
The nipple is one of the most important components of a feeding bottle, directly impacting baby's comfort. It should mimic the natural shape of a mother's breast, making it easier for the baby to transition between breastfeeding and bottle feeding.
Bottles available in our store offer a variety of nipple types—from natural rubber BIBS, to anatomical Suavinex, to the specially designed NaturalWave® from Lansinoh. All are made of soft, safe materials and available in a variety of flow rates.
4. Size and capacity
Feeding bottles available in our store come in a variety of sizes, typically from 110-160 ml to 225-270 ml. For a newborn, a smaller bottle with a capacity of 110-160 ml will be sufficient, as babies consume small amounts of food in the first weeks of life.
As your baby's appetite grows, you can invest in larger bottles. Our store offers bottle sets in various sizes that will grow with your child.
5. Easy to clean
Hygiene is extremely important when it comes to newborn accessories, so a feeding bottle should be easy to clean. The bottles available in our store are designed for easy cleaning – most have wide necks that facilitate thorough cleaning, and all are dishwasher and sterilizable.
6. Compatibility with other accessories
It's worth checking whether the feeding bottle you choose is compatible with other accessories, such as breast pumps or sterilizers. Our store offers comprehensive systems in which all components are compatible.
For example, Lansinoh bottles can be combined with breast pumps of the same brand, making it easier to store expressed milk. Similarly, Suavinex and BIBS bottles are part of larger systems that include various feeding accessories.
Is one feeding bottle enough?
We're often asked how many bottles you should buy for your newborn. The answer depends on how often you plan to bottle-feed your baby.
If you plan to breastfeed with occasional bottle feeding, 2-3 bottles will be sufficient. However, if you decide to exclusively formula feed, we recommend purchasing 6-8 bottles, which will allow for less frequent cleaning and more time for rest.
Our store offers starter kits that include several bottles of different sizes, making them an economical and practical solution for new parents.
How to care for a feeding bottle?
Proper bottle care is crucial for your newborn's health. Here are some tips for proper bottle care:
Cleaning
After each use, wash the bottle thoroughly in warm water and a mild detergent. Use a bottle brush to reach every nook and cranny. Remember to rinse thoroughly to remove any detergent residue.
Sterilization
During your baby's first few months, it's recommended to sterilize bottles after each use. You can do this in several ways: in an electric or microwave sterilizer, by boiling for 5 minutes, or using cold sterilizing tablets or liquids.
In our store you will find various types of sterilizers that will make it easier for you to keep your bottles clean.
Exchange
Even the best feeding bottles wear out over time. Teats should be replaced every 1-2 months, or sooner if you notice signs of wear, such as discoloration, cracks, or stickiness. Plastic bottles should be replaced every 3-6 months, while glass bottles can last longer if they're undamaged.
Summary – how to choose the perfect feeding bottle for a newborn?
Choosing the perfect feeding bottle for a newborn may seem like a difficult task, but by following a few simple rules, you can find a product that will work well for your little one.
Consider which material is best for you and your baby – glass or BPA-free plastic. Look for an anti-colic system that minimizes the risk of your baby swallowing air. Choose a nipple that closely resembles the natural breast, especially if you plan to combine breastfeeding with bottle feeding. Match the bottle capacity to your baby's age and needs. Check if the bottle is easy to clean and sterilize. Consider compatibility with other accessories you own or plan to purchase.
In our store you will find feeding bottles that meet all these criteria, and our team provides professional advice in choosing the best solution for your child.
Remember that the most important thing is your baby's comfort and safety, so it's worth investing in a high-quality feeding bottle that will make these special moments of closeness easier while feeding.
