I have gone through so many bottles in the past few months since my baby had an upset stomach and was gassy. There were countless days of crying nonstop until he released gas, and I have tried at least a dozen bottles designed to reduce colic, including the Dr. Brown bottles that have infamously many parts. It has been my experience, though, that the gassiness and colic are a phase, and the baby needs to grow out of it. I didn't notice any significant difference between bottles; however, using the right teat size made all the difference. This is my current formula prep zone.
I was introduced to Hegen bottles at a Preggo Expo last year. Founded in 2015, Hegen is a Singaporean brand that has quickly gained popularity among moms all over the world. Hegen bottles are pricier than most; however, these modular bottles "grow" with the baby's needs, so you use them longer.
By using different attachments, you can express, store, and feed in just one bottle.
My baby is 4 months old now, and I'm using the 8oz bottles. The bottles have clear and easy-to-read markings in both ml and oz.
A bottle consists of simple components - a main feeding bottle with a wide, square opening, a sleeve, a teat, and a cap. When I transitioned from Dr. Brown's bottles to this one, I was honestly so happy! Everything was much easier to clean.
Hegen bottles are also known for their off-centered teats.
These super soft, elliptical-shaped off-center teats promote the natural latch-on position.
The elliptical shape and off-centered position allow the baby to drink in a natural upright feeding position at a 20-degree tilt.
I did have to purchase the slower-flow teat, though. Although my baby is 4 months old, the recommended medium-flow teats dispense milk too fast. I separately purchased the slow-flow teats (#1), and they've been amazing.
I saved the medium-flow teats for later.
On a related note, I wanted to share this amazing bottle drying rack from Béaba.
This drying rack has angled "branches" for various feeding accessories to dry efficiently.
The top has a carry handle.
It is enough to dry a day's worth of bottles, and I find it to be more space-efficient than rectangular ones.
