"For many American parents, colic and reflux are among the most stressful challenges during the first months of life. Endless crying, discomfort after feedings, arching of the back, spit-up, gas... when a baby is hurting, the entire family feels it. While many factors can contribute to colic and reflux, the choice of baby bottle and nipple plays a much bigger role than most parents realize. Choosing the right baby bottle can greatly influence your baby's feeding experience."
"Reflux (GER or GERD) occurs when milk flows back from the stomach into the esophagus. This can cause spit-ups, discomfort, coughing, and irritability, especially after feedings. Reflux is often worsened by: Fast milk flow Poor feeding posture Excess air bubbles in the bottle While only your pediatrician can diagnose and monitor reflux, the right baby bottle can make feedings much more comfortable."
Colic and reflux commonly cause intense crying, feeding disruption, and family stress during the first months of life. Air ingestion during feedings often triggers colic by trapping air in the stomach and intestines, causing gas, bloating, and cramping. Reflux occurs when milk flows back into the esophagus, producing spit-ups, coughing, and irritability, and can be worsened by fast milk flow, poor feeding posture, or excess air in the bottle. The wrong bottle can add air, speed flow, and force poor posture, while an appropriate bottle and nipple can reduce air intake, slow flow, and improve feeding comfort.
