Is silicone bottle good for newborns?

Although breast milk is the best choice for newborns, if the mother's milk is not enough, the newborn can only drink milk powder, which requires the use of a bottle. Nowadays, many mothers choose silicone bottles for their newborns. So, are silicone bottles good for newborns? Relatively speaking, silicone is a safer material. It is not only harmless to the human body, but also not easy to break. Its softness is also more easily accepted by newborns.

1. Is silicone milk bottle good for newborns?

Newborns can use silicone bottles. Benefits of using silicone bottles for babies:

1. The material is safe and non-toxic

Compared with traditional plastic bottles, silicone bottles have an absolute advantage in safety because a large amount of antioxidants, plasticizers and stabilizers must be added during the production of plastic bottles. These additives are harmful to the human body. But medical grade silicone is harmless to the human body. Moreover, compared with glass bottles, silicone bottles are not easy to break and have better safety performance.

2. Good hand feel, heat resistance and moisture resistance

Silicone feels very soft and can help stabilize the baby's mood. Silicone can maintain good properties in the range of -60°C to 200°C. If it is sealed at room temperature of 25°C and is not exposed to moisture or high temperatures, it can be stored for at least 1 year without deterioration. Sterilizing in boiling water or in a microwave will not cause deformation. Silicone baby bottles are more heat-resistant than ordinary plastic bottles and there will be no problem with long-term sterilization.

3. Durable and affordable

Silicone baby bottles have a very long lifespan and can be used as water bottles when the baby grows up. Compared with traditional baby bottles, silicone baby bottles are indeed much better than other baby bottles, and more importantly, they are safe and non-toxic. This issue is also the one that mothers are most worried about.

4. Easy to carry

When you go out, you can separate several pacifiers and bottles (silicone parts) and put them together. Reduce the size and make it easier to carry.

2. How often should the silicone baby bottle be replaced?

Under normal circumstances, silicone baby bottles do not need to be replaced frequently due to their special material, and only need to be disinfected regularly. However, if the silicone bottle is severely worn, it should be replaced within six months. The material used in silicone baby bottles is quite special, and the replacement cycle is determined based on the specific circumstances of the baby's use.
