Breast is best...right? Well that may be true but breast feeding may not be an option or the right option for everyone. Whether you are able to breast feed or not most babies end up having to take a bottle at one point or another. Often times mom has to go back to work, wants to have dinner with friends, or is just not feeling well, and someone else will have to take a turn to feed baby. In some cases it is simply because baby can't latch properly {as it was in my case with my youngest}, isn't gaining enough weight or one of the {what seems like} millions of reasons that you end up giving your baby a bottle. If and when that time comes, do you know what bottle you will use? We do! Calma, by Medela, is our go-to bottle of choice!
Technically Calma is just the nipple but the Calma system is most often purchased with a Medela breast milk bottle included. Calma was created strictly for use with breast milk to imitate the breast, for the most natural feeding experience your baby can get other than breast feeding. The three part system makes this bottle great for switching back and forth between breast and bottle but also wonderful for breast milk - bottle fed only babies as well. Calma was developed to allow your baby to suck at their own pace and pause when needed without being flooded by milk {like most of the other bottles on the market today}. The shape of the nipple is similar to the breast which helps with babies who are normally breast fed to avoid the dreaded nipple confusion. The best part of the bottle is that this nipple DOES NOT LEAK... at all! Milk only comes out when your baby sucks! Say good-bye to wasting any of that "liquid gold" you worked so hard to get.

Another great feature is that all of the parts are interchangeable with other Medela products. Calma, by Medela will fit on the Medela breast milk storage bottles! No more pumping, and pouring from one bottle to the other just to feed your baby. If you are feeding your baby breast milk out of a bottle the Calma, by Medela is the bottle you want to give your baby! Calma is specially designed to prevent gas and other upset stomach issues within your baby. Many bottles claim they prevent gas or spit up or this and that, but Calma is the closest match to the breast which means it is the best option for when your baby must take a bottle instead of the breast.
