What size bottle should I buy? Medium capacity has the highest utilization rate

Medium capacity has the highest usage rate, for example, 150 ml, 200 ml, and 250 ml are the best-selling ones on the market. People generally do not choose too small or too large capacity, because too small capacity can hold too little things, and too large capacity is inconvenient to carry. However, different capacities have their own uses. Let's learn about them together.

Medium-capacity bottles are most commonly used, ranging from 120ml to 150ml and 250ml. If you are blindly choosing, it is recommended to choose from medium-capacity bottles. The more common bottle capacities on the market are 125ml, 150ml, 200ml, and 250ml. The numbers of different manufacturers will vary slightly. There are also small bottles less than 100ml or extra-large bottles greater than 300ml. You can choose according to the baby's appetite and purpose. Bottles with small capacities are suitable for young babies, or for drinking water or juice, while bottles with large capacities are suitable for older babies and can also be used to hold complementary foods.

There are four types of milk bottles: 120ml, 160ml, 200ml, and 240ml. You can choose according to the baby's food intake at one time. Generally speaking, the amount of milk for babies under 1 month old is about 100-120ml per feeding. The amount of milk for babies over 1 month old should be 120-200ml per feeding, and it is advisable to control it to about 800-1000ml per day. Some babies drink less. Therefore, babies aged 0-1 month need a milk bottle with a capacity of at least 120ml. Some mothers buy 240ml milk bottles directly for economic considerations. However, some mothers reported that if they use a large-capacity milk bottle at the beginning, they always feel that the baby eats less when feeding, and they feed more unconsciously. Moreover, milk bottles generally need to be eliminated and updated after 4-6 months. Therefore, it is more appropriate to choose a 120ml milk bottle at first. The 60ml milk bottle is small in size and easy to clean, which is very suitable for giving newborn babies small amounts of water many times.

1. Breastfeeding

If the mother is at home all day and mainly breastfeeds the baby, she needs to buy 1-2 large 240 ml milk bottles and 1-2 small 120 ml milk bottles. Usually, the small milk bottles are used for drinking water, while the large milk bottles are used for the mother to squeeze out the milk in advance and put it in the bottle for the baby to drink when she is out for something.

2. Mixed feeding

The specific amount is calculated according to the number of times the baby drinks milk. Usually, 4-6 240 ml bottles and 1-2 120 ml bottles can meet the needs.

3. Artificial feeding

You can calculate the number of bottles to buy based on the number of times you feed your baby artificially. If you feed your baby less frequently, you can prepare 4-6 240 ml bottles and 1-2 120 ml bottles; if you feed your baby more frequently, you will need 6-8 240 ml bottles and 2-3 120 ml bottles.

Generally, newborn baby bottles must be replaced every 4-6 months. The scales on baby bottles will wear out after a long time of use. Without scales, the concentration of milk powder may affect the growth and development of newborn babies, so if the scales on the baby bottles are blurred, they must be replaced. In addition, plastic baby bottles will age and become brittle after a long time.
