anti-colic bottle devices?

The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

There are special bottles and devices on the market designed to reduce air intake for colicky babies. Their common principle is to provide a ventilation system that prevents air bubbles from mixing with milk.

General clinical recommendation is this: regardless of the device, feeding in an upright position, taking 2-3 breaks during each feed to burp, and using age-appropriate flow rate (slow/newborn nipple) are more decisive in reducing colic than the bottle device itself. Any anti-colic bottle system (vacuum pouch, center-vented, etc.) can work as long as the nipple hole matches your baby's sucking strength.

Additionally, some babies have sensitivity to cow milk protein that causes colic-like crying. If bottle adjustments and positioning don't help, consult your pediatrician about switching to hypoallergenic formula (if using bottles) or your mother trying a dairy-free diet (if breastfeeding).
