## What it is

Breastfed babies often refuse the bottle, and it's usually the bottle's fault. Hard, symmetrical bottles feel and flow nothing like nursing, so switching between breast and bottle confuses the latch babies have worked to build.

The GentleBottle's body is 100% soft silicone that compresses in a baby's hands like skin. Its nipple sits off-center, like a natural latch, with a slow, controlled flow that matches nursing pace, making it easier to move between breast and bottle without nipple confusion.

### The off-center nipple

Modeled on how a baby actually latches, asymmetrically, with the nipple angled toward the palate, rather than the symmetrical cone shape bottles have defaulted to for a century.

## What is included

1 GentleBottle (4oz or 8oz) with nipple, collar, and cap.

## Why parents choose it

- 100% high-purity food-grade silicone: BPA, PVC, lead & phthalate free
- Soft on developing gums and teeth
- Dishwasher safe and easy to clean
- Designed with real parent input in Portland, Oregon
- Squeezable soft body regulates flow naturally
- Grows into a cup with the Transitional Set

## Independent guidance on infant feeding

- When can a baby start baby led weaning? The American Academy of Pediatrics says babies are usually ready to start solid foods at around 6 months, and that some infants may be ready as early as 4 months. It adds that each child's readiness depends on their own rate of development. Source: Ifunanya A. Agbim, MD, FAAP; Christine Waasdorp Hurtado, MD, FAAP in [American Academy of Pediatrics, Baby-Led Weaning: Is It Safe?, HealthyChildren.org](https://www.healthychildren.org/English/ages-stages/baby/feeding-nutrition/Pages/baby-led-weaning-is-it-safe.aspx)
- What does food grade silicone actually mean? Rubber articles intended for repeated use in contact with aqueous food shall meet the following specifications: The food-contact surface of the rubber article in the finished form in which it is to contact food, when extracted with distilled water at reflux temperature, shall yield total extractives not to exceed 20 milligrams per square inch during the first 7 hours of extraction, nor to exceed 1 milligram per square inch during the succeeding 2 hours of extraction.

- When should my child stop using a sippy cup? The American Academy of Pediatrics describes sippy cups as a stage children pass through while they are learning, and says it is healthiest for a child to be drinking from an open cup by around 2 years of age.

- Why does letting a baby feed themselves matter? Leslie Schilling, a registered dietitian nutritionist and co-author of a book on baby led weaning, writes in Today's Dietitian that self feeding is a natural first step that can build feeding confidence and oral skills, and can help prevent overfeeding.

- Does baby led weaning help a baby learn when they are full? Laura Lucas, a senior clinical dietitian at Texas Children's Hospital, says one of the main benefits of baby led weaning is that it helps babies learn to recognise their own satiety levels, and that with proper handling and supervision it is safe for most babies who are developmentally ready.

- What skills is a baby practising when they feed themselves? Kimberly Churbock, a physician writing for Cleveland Clinic, describes a baby picking up a piece of food, bringing it to their mouth, manipulating it, chewing and swallowing, and notes that all of those actions require fine motor skills and oral motor skills. Source: Kimberly Churbock, MD in [Cleveland Clinic, Baby-Led Weaning: What It Is and How To Do It Safely](https://health.clevelandclinic.org/baby-led-weaning)
- What if my baby is unsure about a new texture? Amy Klein, an occupational therapist at Cincinnati Children's, writes that for a baby who is not sure about a new taste or texture, self feeding gives them control to manipulate it in their mouth and swallow it or not, and that it also aids hand eye coordination.

## Good fit for

- A breastfed baby being introduced to a bottle. The soft silicone body and off-center nipple are the whole design argument.
- A parent moving between breast and bottle rather than replacing one with the other.
- Newborns onward: 4oz for the early weeks, 8oz as intake grows. Both volumes are options on this product.
- A household that wants more than one bottle in rotation. Pack size is a purchasable option here.

## Not the right fit for

- A baby who has already settled happily on another bottle. Switching is the disruption this product exists to avoid, not to cause.
- A family not using bottles at all.
- A straw or open cup step. The training cups cover that, and the transitional set bridges from this bottle.
