When to start bottle-feeding?
Bottle-feeding is generally suitable from around 6 to 24 months, depending on your baby's needs. If you're breastfeeding, introducing the bottle after six weeks is recommended to ensure breastfeeding is well-established first. Using a slow-flow nipple helps mimic the natural breastfeeding rhythm and prevents nipple confusion, making the transition to bottle-feeding smoother and more comfortable for your baby.
Can I breastfeed and bottle feed?
Yes, combining breastfeeding and bottle-feeding, also known as mixed or combination feeding, is safe and convenient. It offers flexibility for moms, especially when returning to work or sharing feeding duties. Using bottles with a soft nipple and slow flow, like Laad Pyaar's, ensures a smooth transition between breast and bottle without disrupting your baby’s feeding rhythm.
Which feeding bottles should newborns use?
It's best to use BPA-free bottles with slow-flow nipples for newborns. These bottles mimic the natural flow of breastfeeding and reduce the risk of colic. Our Laad Pyaar Baby Feeding Bottle is specifically designed to be easy to clean and sterilize, ensuring a safe and hygienic feeding experience for your baby. You can also choose our
glass feeding bottle for babies between 0-3 months, which offers durability and ease of cleaning.
Which bottle is best for formula feeding?
Newborns typically need smaller bottles, around 150 ml in size. These smaller feeding bottles are perfect for their tiny tummies and frequent feedings. As your baby grows, you can transition to larger baby bottles. We offer baby feeding bottles in 4 different sizes and flow rates, including slow flow, so you can pick and choose according to your baby's needs. Our Laad Pyar Feeding Bottle range ensures you have the right bottle size and flow for every stage of your baby's development.
How many feeding bottles does a breastfeeding mom need?
A breastfeeding mom typically needs 3–4 bottles, especially when pumping and storing breast milk. Having a few clean bottles ready helps during night feeds or when away from the baby. Choose bottles like Laad Pyaar's that are safe for freezing, heating, and sterilizing. It’s also wise to keep
replacement or extra nipples in different flow rates as your baby’s feeding needs change.
How do I choose a newborn feeding bottle?
Choose a feeding bottle made from BPA-free, non-toxic, FDA-approved materials to ensure your baby’s safety. Look for features like anti-colic vent systems to reduce gas, soft silicone nipples for comfort, and a natural breast-like shape for easier transition. A wide-neck design makes cleaning simpler and more effective. It’s also wise to try a few different bottles, as babies may respond differently to nipple shapes and flow rates. Comfort and ease matter most.
How many months can we use a feeding bottle?
Feeding bottles can typically be used for about six months, but it's important to regularly inspect them for wear and tear. Replace baby bottles if you notice any cracks, discoloration, or damage to ensure your baby's safety. If the bottle itself is still in good condition, you can simply get a
replacement nipple and continue using the same bottle.
How to clean a baby's feeding bottle?
To clean a baby's feeding bottle, use a
Baby Dish Cleanser that is safe and effective. Rinse the milk bottle with warm water immediately after use to remove any milk residue. Apply the Baby Dish Cleanser to a bottle brush and scrub the bottle, nipple, and all parts thoroughly. Rinse all parts with clean water and let them air dry on a clean towel or drying rack.
Do I need to sterilize baby bottles every time?
Yes, sterilizing baby bottles after every use is recommended, especially for newborns. Sterilizing helps to eliminate any harmful bacteria that may remain after cleaning. You can use a steam sterilizer, boiling water, or a microwave sterilizer. Our Laad Pyar Feeding Bottle offers maximum heat resistance, making it safe for use in the microwave, sterilizer, dishwasher, and boiling water up to 180°C.
How does Laad Pyaar bottle prevent colic and gas?
Laad Pyaar bottles feature a unique nipple design with dual anti-colic vents that reduce the amount of air your baby swallows while feeding. This helps prevent gas, reflux, and colic-related fussiness. The soft, breast-like silicone nipple also promotes natural sucking and smooth milk flow, making feeding more comfortable and reducing interruptions due to air intake.
