Medela has recently launched its brand new product, Calma; a unique baby bottle designed to mimic breastfeeding for your nursing baby. I know what you’re thinking, almost every bottle out there claims to be made to be just like the breast, right? I know that’s exactly what I thought when I first heard about this product. I remember when I was nursing my son, I searched online for days looking for the best bottle that would be a good fit for us when we decided to start giving him a bottle here and there. When I was pregnant with my daughter, it felt like almost every other bottle out there claimed to be the best bottle for breastfeeding infants.
Calma instantly put my skepticism at ease. It’s already different, because this bottle is designed specifically for a breastfeeding baby. It really seems like these days companies will put almost anything on the label to suck mom’s into buying their product, but Calma was completely different and Medela once again proved to me they are a trustworthy company in tune with mom’s and what’s best for our babies. Calma features an innovative and unique design is like no other bottle on the market.
The top of the bottle is made up of three parts. The base, which the middle section snaps into and then the nipple goes over that. You can screw this into any Medela bottle and I’ve found this to be easy to use, because I can screw the top right onto breastmilk I pumped and it’s ready to go!
Why Calma?
You’re probably wondering why Calma is different from the other bottles out there on the market and why you should try this one over the others. Calma is not like any other bottle out there. I have tried several different bottles between when my son was a baby and with my daughter now and I haven’t had a feeding experience quite like this.
Calma is designed to allow for the baby to control the milk flow, just like when breastfeeding. Anytime we’ve given my daughter a bottle, you can tell it’s coming out much faster than she’s used to and although sometimes she sucks it right down, other times, she pulls off frequently, because she isn’t used to that fast of a milk flow. Calma allows her to take a bottle just like she would be breastfeeding and that is a feeding experience you can’t get with any other product. If you’re a breastfeeding mother, why would you want your baby to get the same, calming experience when she gets a bottle too? Now, thanks to Medela, that is possible!
Calma gets an A+ in my eyes and if you’re a breastfeeding mama needing the right bottle, I urge you to give this new, innovative, and completely different design a shot! Medela absolutely does not disappoint!
