What is the cause of bubbles in the bottle?

It may be that the quality of the nipple is bad, or the bottle cap is not tightened, so when drinking milk, air enters the bottle and bubbles are produced. When making milk powder for the baby, it should not be too cold or too hot. Do not shake it up and down vigorously after making it, otherwise it is easy to have bubbles. When feeding the baby, lift the bottle a little to prevent the baby from eating air, otherwise it is easy to cause spitting up.

The lifespan of glass baby bottles

Glass bottles can be replaced once a year. How many bottles a baby needs in his lifetime is related to how often the bottles themselves need to be replaced, the number of bottles needed for each batch, and the length of time the mother breastfeeds. The bottles themselves are replaced every 3 to 12 months (depending on the material). The number of bottles needed for each batch is related to the feeding method, which is about 2 to 6. The longer the mother breastfeeds, the more bottles she needs. In addition, cracks in the bottles, especially glass bottles, also have the risk of scratching the baby; long-term uncleaning or excessive use will cause dirt inside, which can easily lead to bacterial growth; or changes in the color of the bottle may indicate a chemical change in the bottle material. To avoid toxic substances from seeping into the milk, it should be replaced as soon as possible.

Can the bottle used for the first child be used for the second child?

No, milk bottles and nipples have a certain shelf life. Old milk bottles will age and deteriorate, so it is recommended to buy new milk bottles and nipples after the second baby is born. It is best not to use old milk bottles for the second baby, because old milk bottles are contaminated with a lot of bacteria. Due to the long storage time and the parents' lack of attention to disinfection, it is very likely to cause bacterial infection when used for the second baby. Children's resistance is relatively weak, and after being infected with bacteria, their body functions decline rapidly. Therefore, it is best to buy new milk bottles of better quality for the second baby. Before using the milk bottle, scald it in boiling water and disinfect it.
