My newborn is a very gassy baby. He grunts and groans and lifts up his tiny little baby legs and my heart just breaks for him. So when my sister-in-law gave me a new bottle to try for him; I jumped at it (besides I love free stuff).
So right away I try the Playtex Vent Aire Advanced Baby Bottle. According to the website, "Only Playtex® VentAire® Advanced reusable bottles have micro-channel vent technology that, unlike ordinary bottles, vents air at the back of the bottle versus through the nipple. This helps prevent air from mixing with the milk and provides a virtually bubble-free feeding."
Also:
- Clinically shown to reduce gas, colic, and spit-up better than competitors*
- Angled bottle supports semi-upright feeding position to help prevent ear infections
- Advanced venting system designed to help liquid flow consistently.
The Result? A still gassy newborn. I wish I could report that it magically fixed the problem, but it didn't at all. It unfortunately seems to be Just a Regular Bottle. On the plus side, it did fit exactly right with my breast pump and I like the way it looks. The top didn't leak, but the removable bottom would if it wasn't screwed on tight enough.
By the way, we did fix the gas problem. My husband takes my baby's little legs and brings the knees up to his chest up and down for a few minutes right before bed. Works WONDERS!
