Knowing the features of a feeding bottle can help parents decide which bottle to use and what
type of bottle would be most comfortable for their baby. The various features of a feeding bottle
are as below:
Features of a Feeding Bottle
Nipple/Teat
Material
Feeding bottle teats or nipples are available in different materials: Latex, Surgical grade plastic, and Silicone. Latex nipples are soft and natural, but are likely to
age faster. Silicone nipples are synthetic and stronger, and hence more resistant to wear
and tear.
Size
Nipples come in a range of sizes. Preemies and newborns usually need the smallest
size (often called ‘size 1' or ‘stage 1'), which has the slowest flow. As babies get older, you
will need large-sized nipples to help them suck more effectively and drink more breast
milk or formula milk. Although the markings on the nipples indicate the size and a
suggested age range, you may have to test a few different nipple sizes to find one that
suits your baby best.
Shape
Most commonly available shape is standard or cherry shape. Wide-shaped nipples prevent vacuum or bubble build-up, and some babies may find it more comfortable. A special orthodontic nipple shape, designed to accommodate a baby's
gums and palate, is also available.
Flow
The flow of bottle contents from the nipple is regulated by the hole's size. Both latex and silicone nipples come with small-sized holes for slow flow of thin liquids like breast milk, medium holes for formula milk, and large holes for thicker feeds.
Both latex and silicone nipples have to be sterilized before every feed.
Since latex nipples are more likely to age faster, they should be stored in areas with less
light and away from direct heat.
Disposable option
One time use-and-throw nipples are also available in the market.
These are especially suited during travel.
Bottle
Material
Feeding bottles should be made of BPA-free plastic materials that are
considered safe for the child. The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) revised the standard
for feeding bottles in 2013. According to section 4 of the revised standard, ‘The material used for plastic feeding bottles and accessories excluding teats
shall be of polypropylene conforming to IS 10910 or polyethersulfone (PES) or
any other olefin based polymer. The materials used should be of no health
hazards to babies and shall not contain Bisphenol A (BPA).'NOTE - PVC and PET should not be used to manufacture feeding bottles.3Feeding bottles made of eco-friendly glass are also available in the market.
Size and capacity
Most feeding bottles come in standard sizes, with wide bottoms.
Depending upon the baby's preference, bottle size can be selected. Small size bottles are
best-suited for newborns, as babies consume only about 120 ml in a single feed. As your
little one grows, you can move to 250 or 330ml bottles.

Shape
Feeding bottles come in varied shapes such as natural shape, standard neck, wide
neck, angled, fully vented, with bags, and so on. The shape of the bottle also determines
which kind of nipple can be used with it. Fully-vented bottles also have anti-colic and
anti-vacuum mechanisms built into them. An ergonomic design lets your hand rest easier
while holding the bottle.
Maintenance
Feeding bottles also have to be cleaned or sterilized, or both, before use.
Special baby-safe cleansers are available in the market to clean the bottles before
sterilization, and it is advisable not to use regular detergent, as it could be corrosive.
Disposable option
Travel-friendly disposable feeding bottles are also available in the
market, which are made of baby-safe plastic. You also have disposable liners, that act as
covers that hold the milk inside the bottle, without letting it come into contact with the
bottle's inner surface. So when on the move, you just have to insert the liner, pour milk
into it, and once the feeding is over, dispose off the liner and insert a new one.
Bottle Cap/Cover
A bottle cap/cover protects the nipple from dust and dirt. It helps keep the nipple sterile.
You need to cover the feeding bottle with a bottle cap in between feeds. Once sterilized, the
bottle nipples should not be touched with bare hands and should always be covered with
bottle caps after drying. This is to protect them from any contamination.
Bottle Collar
A bottle collar works as an adapter for the bottle nipple and should be compatible with the
nipple. Mostly, a nipple from the same manufacturer as that of the bottle easily fits in the
bottle collar. Make sure to screw the bottle collar tightly, to avoid any leakage.
Bottle Base
Some bottles come with a detachable bottom. The formula doesn't stick to the bottom of
these bottles, as badly as it sticks to the others. This makes formula mixing easy. Some
bottles have vented bottoms. It helps reduce the amount of air your baby swallows. Bottles
with a detachable bottom are easy to clean, as you can rinse their bottom directly. They also
dry fast. Taking all the parts apart and putting them back together after cleaning takes a
considerable amount of time though. Make sure to screw the bottle base tightly, to avoid any
leakage.
Solid Lid
Some feeding bottles come with lids. This way, you can remove the nipple from the bottle
and cover the remaining milk, after a feed, with the lid. The solid lid won't allow any leakage.
Sealing Disc
Some feeding bottles come with slim sealing discs. When placed on the bottle collar, these
discs stop the flow of milk to the nipple. They are travel-friendly, as they provide a leak-proof
transportation.
