Munchkin Latch Bottle (8OZ/ 240ML, 2 pack)

Product Information

Whilst the prospect of using glass around a baby may mentally take some getting used to for parents, these safe premium glass bottles are highly resistant to temperature and come with beautiful designs that make a great gift for a new parent. While the wide mouth makes getting an ordinary brush inside, the anti-colic valve requires special attention to ensure it is clean and this is best done with the special tool sold by Munchkin for this purpose. If you're breastfeeding, be sure to check out our list of the best breast pumps, and if you're formula feeding, check out the best organic baby formulasor the best goat milk formulas of the year! Ease of use also suffered for the Latch with a design that requires special instructions to install to ensure it works correctly. Place the nipple into the cap ring and inspect it to ensure that the underside of the nipple is laying flat against the ring cap.

Generally, most bottles come with a slow flow teat suitable for newborns, with babies generally moving to faster flow teats as their tummies get bigger.Finally, we found them easy to clean (including the vent ring), and we appreciated that they are dishwasher safe and safe to sterilize. Warming with the storage cap on creates an air pressure buildup that can cause an opening in the base.

Use your fingers to pinch the vent on the nipple to ensure it opens before placing the nipple into the cap ring. The two-part base screws onto the bottom, then you place the nipple onto the top of the bottle and then screw on the nipple ring. This chart shows a comparison of the overall scores for the products we tested in this bottle review. This valve will also need to be replaced at regular intervals, which increases the overall cost and continued maintenance of this bottle over the usual nipple replacement.The nipple comes in four different flow rates, and we thought it had a very nice and natural shape that mimics breastfeeding very nicely. With the welcome reassurance of an anti-colic valve, the Munchkin Latch offers a flexible teat which encourages babies to sip rather than suckle. If you place a fast flow nipple on a bottle for a newborn, you might end up with milk pouring out faster than your baby can drink. The elongated nipple shape resembles mom’s nipple and makes it easier to switch between breast and bottle. As a first time parent, you may be shocked to learn just how many choices are available when selecting a bottle for your baby.

That happens when the bottle nipple is very different from the breast and the baby struggles to associate the two.We found that the nipples were soft and compliant, promoted comfortable and fast latch-on, and the twin-valve venting system was quite good at preventing air swallowing, gas, and colic. In our testing, we found superior colic and gas prevention, great fit and function of the traditional-style nipple and collar, and minimal leaking unless vigorously shaking to mix infant formula.

Of course, that approach can get expensive and time-consuming, but it's likely well worth it for your baby's comfort (and your sanity! Some bottles are more closely matched in both size, texture and flexibility to natural feeding, and as such, are often better accepted by babies who are used to the breast. If you're looking for a great bottle warmer to go along with the bottle you've chosen, check out our reviews of the best baby bottle warmers.During feeding, we noticed that the entire wide base of the nipple elongated and retracted very smoothly, much like a natural breast, allowing a really nice rhythmic suckling motion. Second, the bottles have a great venting system that is among the best on this list, using the ProFlo venting system that offers great venting and low colic and gas without having multiple parts to clean. Every baby latches and suckles a bit differently, every baby is comfortable with a different nipple length, width, and flow, and every baby is more or less prone to gas and colic.
