How to choose best bottles for breastfed babies?

My baby is 2 months old and I am looking for best bottles for breastfed babies? I don’t know about the things that I need to keep in mind before purchasing the bottle. It’s my first baby and I don’t even have any family to make me learn all these things. So I have come to you people to ask for the help. It will be really nice if anyone can tell me how to buy best bottles for breastfed babies?

The nature of every baby is different. So asking for a particular bottle is not an easy task. You should observe the baby and then decide which bottle would suite the baby best, you could take help from your doctor. Because some times, the same bottle can give the different or similar results for different babies. I will suggest, you try for different bottles and then observe the action of baby. The mom should watch the baby while feeding with different bottles and then take a decision to continuing with a particular bottle. Many breastfed babies will not like the bottle at first as it includes a different technique of feeding them. Once a decision is made about the bottle then you should take care of the cleaning and the sterilizing of the bottles. Milk is a major breeding plot for bacteria. To protect the bottle from getting germs and bacteria it is necessary to wash all the feeding equipments such as the bottle, nipples and then sterilize them well. For the washing purpose, warm water is suitable and the use of a teat brush. You could sterilize it by steaming the bottle. Do not use dish washing soap directly on the bottle.
