bottles and nipples
Which
bottles and nipples should I buy for my baby? In general
all bottles are good. For newborns you should start with
the 4-ounce size. After few months you can start using the
larger 8-ounce size. There are three types of nipples: orthodontic,
traditional and flat-tipped shapes. All three come in different
sizes (according to the baby's age) and flow rates. The
formula or breast milk should drip steadily out of the nipple.
If it pours out in a stream, the hole is too big and you
should stop using the nipple. Check all nipples periodically.

special bottle brushes to clean the bottles with soap and
water. They are helping us reaching the bottom, and cleaning
