Moms' guide to bottle-feeding

MANILA, Philippines - When it comes to babies’ nutrition, they say breast is best. But what if breastfeeding simply doesn’t work for you? While some try to make it a practice for their newborns, breastfeeding just isn’t suited for all mothers. Low milk supply, unbearable pain, medical complications, and prematurity are some factors that make it difficult for some women to breastfeed.

For these moms, Pigeon, the market leader in baby and mother care products, offers Peristaltic Plus, the best bottle and nipple option for you and your baby. A product of over 50 years of comprehensive research, Peristaltic Plus was born from a study that examined breastfeeding through the perspective of the babies.

Pigeon’s study on sucking resulted in realizing the three important factors you should consider and learn about when opting to bottle-feed your baby. First is attachment, where the baby extends his lips to form a cup-like suction around the areola. Next, he would move his tongue in a wave-like motion called the peristaltic movement to suck milk from the nipple. The last is swallowing, where the baby raises his tongue to bring the milk down his esophagus.

With these elements in mind, Pigeon designed Peristaltic Plus to address and adapt to the baby’s sucking behavior, making sucking easier and safer for him and feeding more convenient for moms. For instance, the nipple is made of thick, silicone rubber, to make it soft and flexible enough for your baby to use without discomfort. It also features a unique outer layer consisting of fine bumps, called texturing, to keep the baby’s lips from sticking to the surface.

Another reason to love Peristaltic Plus is its nipple tip, which comes in various sizes, so you can choose which one best fits his mouth. The nipples are also available in two kinds of holes for you to adjust the rate of milk flow in accordance to his stage of development.
