A wonderful Breastfeeding friendly Bottle!!
March 25, 2017
The Chicco NaturalFit bottle is a great addition to the new and improved world of wonderful breastfeeding friendly supplies. Back when my son was born (5 yrs ago) there was only a few breastfeeding friendly supplemental feeding options to choose from. When it came time for me to return back to work they had the standard nipple which thankfully didn't interfere with putting him to breast after using a bottle during the day. Now that I have a newborn, there is so many wonderful quality products, including this bottle. What I really enjoy most is the NaturalFit slow flow nipple because of the high quality material made to feel like an actual nipple. It is soft and flexible, with easy movement to adjust along with the baby's movement as if on the breast. My package came with a bonus angled nipple which my daughter seems to prefer over the straight nipple. I've been EBFing since she was born, she is now 5 weeks, and using this bottle, she has not had any nipple confusion. She continues to latch onto the breast and the Chicco Nipple without difficulty. I also like that the nipple's flow is geared to match the babies need which means the milk does not drip out willingly. Since the flow is always adequate for the amount my daughter can handle she doesn't end up messy with milk dripping down the sides of her mouth. Overall, this bottle does an amazing job at mimicking breastfeeding, and allows for my husband and other Little ones to spend that special bonding time feeding her. The bottle also features dual anti colic valves to prevent air ingestion, gas and spit ups. The angled nipple also helps assist in preventing this because the bottle must be held upwards with the angle of the nipple to assist in reducing air ingestion. I really enjoy the feel of the glass bottles, making them easy to clean and sterilize. They also fit into my smart-warmer made for breast milk warming so this is a huge plus!! Additionally, once I return back to work our nanny will have a easy method for feedings. Most importantly regarding health, these bottle are BPA free which is a huge requirement in our household. My only con would be the weight of the glass bottles doesn't hold well on my bottle drying rack but, that's with what I have at home. I am sure there are more sturdy ones available if its really a must to have bottle drying racks. Also, as she learns how to hold her own bottles, this may take a little longer since the glass weighs more than plastic. They do provide the plastic version as well if the glass seems too much but, I love it! I would definitely recommend this product for breast and formula fed babies! I am definitely a huge fan of Chiccousa products and received this opportunity to try their product by being a member of Weespring Parent panel. This was a great opportunity and another great addition to our breastfeeding journey!!
