Dr. Brown's Natural Flow Newborn Feeding Set
Colic. The word strikes fear in the heart of any parent. This mysterious ailment seems to have its roots in the belly of the baby, although no one has determined for sure what causes these uncontrollable bouts of crying in newborns. However, it is certain that a baby with gas is an unhappy baby, and anything that alleviates that pain can only be a good thing. Enter Dr. Brown’s Natural Flow Newborn Feeding Set. For parents who bottle-feed, for whatever reason, these specialized bottles may make the difference between a howling, gassy baby and one who is content and well-fed. What’s the secret?Internal Vent Decreases Vacuum EffectA patented system enables babies to feed more comfortably because the built-in vent discourages ingestion of air bubbles. It also prevents the development of a vacuum, which helps reduce fluid in the ear. Ensuring that the milk in the bottle flows out through the nipple while the air is channeled through a tube to the other end also eliminates another unique problem of bottle-feeding: nipple collapse. The positive-pressure design mimics breastfeeding and can be used with breast milk or formula.In Plain English, PleaseThe bottle prevents air bubbles from getting into baby’s tummy.No Air Bubbles, No GasAnd no gas, no colic…at least that’s the principle. At a minimum, baby will be more comfortable while his digestive system develops.A Note to ParentsThe first time parents use the Natural Flow system, they will need to be very conscientious about readingand followingthe detailed instructions.
