There are so many options for baby bottles these days that it can be quite overwhelming when registering for your first baby. Even if it is your second or third baby, the old bottles of yesteryear have been replaced with new venting systems promising to reduce colic and are shaped to mimic breastfeeding. Before you start your bottle search, ask yourself these three questions: are you going to be breastfeeding and occasionally bottle feeding? Are you going to be exclusively bottle feeding? Are you worried about colic and gas? When it comes down to make the final choice of what bottle to use you should look for bottles that are BPA-free, that won't crack and break under pressure and that fit your lifestyle.
