How does the Philips AVENT bottle reduce baby wind or colic?
Feeding bottles, whether they are angled or straight, need air inside the bottle to replace the milk your baby takes. When your baby drinks, a vacuum is formed in the bottle causing the teat to collapse, restricting milk flow. Unable to receive milk, a frustrated baby's natural reaction is to suck more vigorously which in turn increases the amount of air swallowed. Most bottles need air to flow in through the hole in the tip of the teat to remove the vacuum, interrupting the flow and rhythm of sucking. Philips AVENT teat's unique one-way air valve opens and closes with baby's natural suckling rhythm, letting air flow into the bottle as your baby drinks, preventing the vacuum from forming. The result is less air in the tummy and a decrease in colic. A recent clinical study demonstrated that at two weeks of age, babies fed with the Philips AVENT bottle showed a trend to less colic, and had a behaviour closer to breastfed babies.
