Top 12 Baby Bottles

Baby bottles are one of the most important must-haves on a pregnant mom’s shopping list. Baby bottles are essential for formula-fed babies. A breastfeeding mother might also need baby bottles if she gives her baby pumped breast milk.

 

New moms are always confused when coming across the many options of baby bottles at stores. They don’t know whether to buy plastic baby bottles or follow the old school and get glass ones.

 

This article will help you understand the advantages and disadvantages of both types and shop for top baby bottles in Egypt based on your needs.

 

Most of the listed bottles are anti-colic which is a common problem during the first three months. The bottle nipples give the natural feeling of suckling if your baby is breastfeeding and you want to avoid nipple confusion.

 

 

Factors to consider when choosing a bottle:

 

• If you will go for plastic bottles, choose BPA-free ones.
• If you will use the bottles for pumping, buy the same brand as that of your breast pump to be easier in usage.
• Choose wide neck bottles for easy cleaning.
• To avoid colic, opt for angled neck bottles.
• To protect a glass bottle, buy a sleeve.
