A U. S. professor of nursing says that a wide variety of baby bottles are available but no one product is best so parents should go with what works best for babies.

Donna Dowling of the Frances Payne Bolton School of Nursing at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland generally suggests using the simpler systems.

Dowling says in a statement, "The more parts and tiny areas in the components, the harder it will be to clean."

She says that bottle and nipple need to fit the baby's eating style.

Dowling further says, "Babies are different and have different styles of sucking, from the slow to the fast eaters."

Baby bottles come with nipples that have slow, medium or fast flows of milk. Dowling suggests trying a slow or medium flow and staying with that if the baby is comfortable.

She also suggest to give baby a chance to adapt to a new bottle and don't give up if the baby rejects the bottle on the first feeding -- too many changes of bottle/nipple systems can be frustrating for mother and baby as well as costly. (With Inputs from Agencies)
