What should a 1-month-old baby's bottle be like?

When choosing a bottle for a 1-month-old, there are several key points to consider:
- Material: Glass or BPA-free plastic bottles are preferred. Glass bottles are considered more hygienic but are heavier; plastic ones are lighter but should be replaced regularly.
- Size: Small bottles around 120-150 ml (4-5 oz) are ideal for this month. Larger bottles can cause excessive air swallowing.
- Nipple (top): For 1-month-olds, a slow-flow (slow flow / 0-1 month) nipple should be used. If the flow is too fast, there's a risk of choking or the baby swallows too much air, leading to gas. Nipple shapes suitable for newborns, such as wide-based or orthodontic models, are common.
- Air system: Ventilated bottles with air-intake systems (channel or tube systems) can help reduce gas colic.
- Cleaning: The bottle and nipple should be scrubbed after each use with warm soapy water, and sterilized by boiling once a week.
In summary: glass or BPA-free plastic, around 120 ml, slow-flow nipple, preferably with an air-intake system. You may need to adjust the nipple flow based on your baby's sucking speed in the following weeks.
