They’re definitely designed for breast milk as the measurements are inaccurate for measuring out formula and could dehydrate/under nourish but then your precious breast milk will gush out of your babies mouth and soak their clothes as the silicone teats are quite hard for them to latch onto so if you’re BF with these baby is less likely to want to go between bottle and boob because they’re far from a natural feel.

If you are ready to feed, then the milk storage bags can be warmed up in the Nanobebe bottle warmer. Once the milk is slightly thawed and more of a slushy consistency, then the milk can be transferred into the bottles to thaw completely. When using the bottle warmer, be sure to not heat the bottle with the storage cap on it. The bottom of the bottle will pop off if you heat the bottle with the cap on it. The bottle needs the nipple on top so the pressure will not build up within the bottle. Using Nanobebe Milk Storage Bags

Natural rubbers are considered ‘non-toxic’ and also often have an ‘all in one’ design which helps to prevent tearing. The bottles may leak sometimes. This can happen either through the bottom part of the bottle, or the area around the nipple cap.

Soon after birth, there will be sleepless nights aplenty, and a dummy can help both baby and parent to get some much needed rest.
