So before you read this blog, I have to confess I am a bit of a breastfeeding nerd. Courtney and I are both huge breastfeeding advocates not only because of all the amazing health benefits for mom and baby but because of the bond it creates. With that being said…….I just heard about Medela’s new breast milk bottle, and I have to say I am pretty excited about it! I haven’t given it a try, for obvious reasons, but if it does all it promises, it is going to be an amazing product for breastfeeding mamas! They call it Calma. Much like breastfeeding, It’s flow control system allows the baby to control the milk flow and only allows milk to flow when the baby creates a vacuum. Another great feature is there is only one size/shape nipple for all stages of breast milk feeding. Switching my daughter to the faster flow nipple was one of the reasons she weaned earlier than I had planned. The way that this bottle promises to mimic breastfeeding would have helped to prevent my sweet girl’s early weaning. Also, it can be used with all Medela breast milk bottles, so going from pumping to feeding should be a breeze.
As I said before, I haven’t personally used their new bottle, but I can say that historically Medela has offered wonderful products to breastfeeding moms. We often recommend their pumps to clients and friends. So, all you breastfeeding mamas out there that will have a need for bottles, you may want to give this one a try! And if you do, let us know what you think.
Until next time,
Marie
