How do anti colic bottles work?

Anti-Colic Bottles are designed to allow air to enter the bottle as your baby feeds. This reduces the amount of air they swallow while allowing an even flow during feedings. When using a traditional bottle, air can slip through your baby’s lips and the bottles’ nipple. This can build up in the stomach.

Can you shake anti-colic bottles?

Avoid shaking the bottle to mix the formula, as this can add air into the milk which can increase colic symptoms. We suggest that you stir the formula gently with a spoon to mix the feed. We recommend reassembling the anti-colic venting system before sterilizing, so it should already be assembled.
