Baby still using a bottle? The harm is not only longer and uglier!+missing kid(Vanessa Morales)information once again

This is real!

This is not sensational!

To understand the principle, you need to start with a variety of bottles and cups on the market: glass bottles, silicone bottles, school cups, duckbill cups, gravity balls, bisphenol A, PPSU, anti-flatulence, anti-milk milk ... Noun, is it that you just feel dizzy when you look at it?

We have also gone through this stage, and successively bought almost all word-of-mouth products and Internet celebrity products.

How to choose baby bottles and cups?

Why are there so many materials for baby bottles?

Generally speaking, the main materials of baby bottles are glass, silicone, and plastic.

The glass bottle is easy to clean, has high transparency, and the scale will not be blurred with frequent use. However, the disadvantages of glass bottles are also obvious: heavy, fragile, and inconvenient and unsafe for the baby to use.

Because of the soft feel of the silicone baby bottle, many people describe it as "real breast milk" or even "weaning artifact". I think this is a bit of an overstatement. After all, you can't expect to be weaned by changing the bottle! In fact, the disadvantages of silicone baby bottles are also obvious-slightly more expensive!

Plastic baby bottles are subdivided into PPSU, PP, PES and other materials, these materials are very safe (different brands choose a slightly different tendency). As for the legendary bisphenol A, China has already banned the production of baby bottles containing bisphenol A. Parents should pay attention to identification when purchasing (especially Haitao).

What are duckbill cups and straw cups?

Attentive parents will find that duckbill cups and straw cups are collectively referred to as "learning cups". The reason why it is called a school drink cup is that for a baby who has been breastfed from birth, switching to a school drink cup, the feeding mode needs to change from the initial sucking reflex to swallowing (chewing), which often takes several Exercise.

The difference between a duckbill cup and a milk bottle is that the shape of the teat is flatter and more water is consumed at one time. The duckbill cup can be used as a transition product between a baby bottle and a sippy cup. It is not a must-have product. It can be used by babies around 4-6 months of age.

At present, most brands of sippy cups have a leak-proof and moth-proof design. Therefore, the biggest risk of using a sippy cup is not to hold the baby, but the baby during the appetite period will bite the straw or even swallow it! Parents must observe in time and replace the straw as soon as it is found to be damaged.
Generally speaking, babies can drink water in an open water cup at about 1 year old. This is very important for training your baby's swallowing and chewing functions and muscle coordination.

When choosing an open cup for your baby, in addition to the safety of the material, you must pay attention to the caliber, depth, and size of the cup. Do not choose an oversized cup. The cup should preferably be equipped with a handle for the baby to grasp.

We found that many parents don't take the baby's long-term use of the bottle, and even think that soft pacifiers have a soothing effect on the baby, so not only do not worry about changing the water cup for the baby, and often let the baby drink milk to sleep! We deliberately consulted Wo Jiawei, director of the Dental Center of Yuxueyuan Clinic. He believes that the main harms are as follows:

In short, Dr. Woo believes that if a baby drinks milk with a bottle for a long time, the sugar in it will erode the teeth and increase the risk of dental caries. The bottle does not train the muscles around the mouth, and long-term dependence on the bottle will indeed affect the baby's face!

In addition, the American Academy of Pediatrics believes that if a baby falls asleep while lying down and drinking milk, it may cause otitis media because milk may flow into the middle ear.

Q & A

Q: When can my baby use the bottle by himself?

A: After 3 months of age, you can try to drink milk by holding the bottle yourself! Keeping your baby holding the bottle by yourself can promote the development of a lot of abilities and cognition: the baby needs to coordinate the hand-eye ability to accurately insert the nipple into the mouth; the baby also needs to learn to control the angle of the bottle to control the flow of milk ...

Q: How to make breast milk babies accept bottles?

A: For babies who are breastfed at birth, as the mother's maternity leave ends, or for other special reasons, the baby will have to use a bottle to drink milk. The way the baby bottle sucks and feels very different from her mother's breasts, so many babies will find it difficult to adapt.

When parents intend to introduce a bottle for their baby, they can first let the baby play with the bottle, get familiar with it, and then introduce the bottle when the baby is "hungerless".

At first, the baby may refuse, because the baby usually associates the mother with breastfeeding, so he will be annoyed by the change in the feeding mode. It will be relatively easy for the mother to leave temporarily if the baby is fed by the father or other family members;

Put some breast milk on the pacifier, and with the "mother's taste", the baby's acceptance will be higher;

If the baby still does not accept it, it is necessary to reflect on whether the mother's companionship time has decreased and the quality of the companionship has decreased, leaving the baby with a lack of security or a "hunger strike to show dissatisfaction"!

Q: How old is a baby bottle?

A: When the baby can sit on his own and can drink dozens of milliliters of liquid in one cup, he can prepare to say goodbye to the bottle! The sooner you quit the bottle, the easier it is.

Q: How can I help my baby quit the bottle?

A: Some babies can easily drink milk with a cup, but some babies rely heavily on the bottle. When helping your baby to quit the bottle, make sure that your baby accepts drinking from a cup. Try water in a bottle and milk in a cup to allow your baby to adjust slowly.

It takes about 6 months for your baby to be happy to drink a variety of liquids with a cup.

Q: How do I get my baby to accept the cup?

A: If your baby is interested in parents using cups or straws, prepare a special cup for your baby! Maybe when you change the cup at the beginning, your baby's food will decrease. Don't change the bottle because it will only increase the baby's dependence on the bottle. Parents must have confidence in their baby!

When the baby starts to use the water cup, it may spill everywhere. Parents should be prepared to deal with the mess, and do n’t keep using the baby bottle because of “lazy” and “fear of trouble”.

Q: How to clean and disinfect the baby bottle cup?

A: It is not recommended to use a bottle cleaning solution containing a disinfectant, because the disinfectant remaining on the inner wall of the bottle is difficult to completely rinse, and the disinfectant will damage the baby's intestinal flora.

Dr. Cui believes that the best way to "sanitize" at home is to dry. After cleaning the bottles and cups with a bottle brush, the openings are facing downwards, and they are suspended and placed on a clean bottle rack, and the internal water can be controlled to inhibit the growth of bacteria. You don't have to choose a sterilizing dryer.

 tips:

No matter what material the bottle, pacifier, straw, the cup has, it has a useful life;

In addition to the bottle brush, there is an artifact called a "straw brush". Even if the baby only drinks water with a straw cup, if the inner wall of the straw is not cleaned for a long time, it will breed mold.

What cups your baby uses, there is no strict definition of the age of the month, just adapt;

The biggest function of the duckbill cup and a sippy cup is to help the baby adapt and gradually transition to the open cup. It is not necessary to buy it.

Parents, if you have any problems or experiences when using the baby bottle and cup, you can also leave a message to tell us!
