Breakthrough bottle

Finally, there’s a baby bottle that reduces air intake, and — along with feeding in the upright position — reduces gas, colic, and spit-ups. BittyLab’s Bare bottle operates like a syringe, with an air-plug that allows the parent to expel air from the bottle before baby starts to slurp — reducing air ingestion. As baby sucks, the plug easily moves toward the nipple to deliver air-free milk.

The set comes with one 4-ounce Bare bottle and two nipples, the Perfe-latch (which BittyLab recommends for breast-fed babies) and an Easy-latch nipple. The set — which also includes a set of detailed directions that address usage, care, and any possible mishap a sleep-deprived parent may run into — is for newborn babies, up to 24 months.

By reducing colic-producing tears and increasing baby’s smiles, the Bare bottle is a bare necessity!
