FAQ
What is the Medela Calma Solitaire Breast Milk Feeding Nipple?
The Medela Calma Solitaire Breast Milk Feeding Nipple is a specialized feeding nipple designed to mimic the natural sucking behavior of a breastfed baby. It is part of the Calma feeding system, which allows babies to maintain their natural feeding behavior while using a bottle.
What makes the Calma Solitaire Nipple different from other bottle nipples?
The Calma Solitaire Nipple is unique in that it requires babies to create a vacuum to initiate milk flow, similar to breastfeeding. This helps prevent nipple confusion and allows babies to control the milk flow themselves, just like they do at the breast.
How does the Calma Solitaire Nipple work?
The Calma Solitaire Nipple works by requiring babies to create a vacuum to initiate milk flow, just like they do at the breast. This helps babies maintain their natural sucking behavior, preventing nipple confusion and making it easier for them to switch between breast and bottle.
Is the Calma Solitaire Nipple suitable for all babies?
The Calma Solitaire Nipple is designed to work with breastfed babies and is suitable for most babies who are already breastfeeding. However, every baby is different, and some may take longer to adjust to bottle feeding with Calma.
