What is colic?

It is commonly believed that colic is caused by the ingestion of air. In most cases, breastfeeding does not lead to colic because with a secure latch onto the nipple, there is little chance of your baby swallowing air.

In most cases, if your baby is uncomfortable because of colic, you will burp them by placing them on your shoulder and gently patting their back to encourage them to burp up the trapped air. This may eliminate the colic situation, but in the meantime, your baby is very uncomfortable and purging the trapped air may take some time to happen.

Once your baby burps, they usually also bring up some of the milk they have just taken AND there is also the chance that tummy acids have also come up which may irritate their throat. Several feedings and burpings a day can easily lead to a very uncomfortable baby.

Coddlelife bottles help to reduce the incidence of uncomfortable colic by reducing the chance that your baby will ingest air. This is accomplished through a unique nipple-vented system which requires less parts to clean and maintain than traditional vented baby bottles.

How does it work?

Quite simply, to keep a consistent flow of liquid (milk) out of a container (bottle), air must replace the liquid (milk) drawn out of the bottle. The trick is to allow that air into the bottle without your baby ingesting some of it.

Coddlelife bottles have a separate air passageway tube that is part of the nipple and extends to the bottom of the bottle. When the bottle is turned upside down to feed a baby, the end of this tube sticks out of the milk. As a baby feeds and milk is drawn from the bottle, air is drawn into the tube and fills the air space above the milk in the bottle.

Milk is drawn out and air is drawn in. The result of this is the ability of your baby to draw milk uninterrupted.

Do Coddlelife bottles leak?

If prepared according to instructions, the Coddlelife bottle will not leak. Traditional vented bottles designed to reduce colic tend to leak if they are pre-prepared and transported (for example to day care). This occurs because milk can easily enter into the air passageway tube.

To prevent this, travel discs are supplied which must be inserted between the nipple and the bottle. When you are ready to feed, the nipple must be removed, the travel disc taken out and the nipple replaced. The “seal” on a sterilized bottle is now broken.

With Coddlelife, there is no need for a travel disc. Our cleaning stick which is used to clean the nipple tube also acts as a stopper. Once you have prepared a sterilized bottle, the stick can be inserted into the nipple tube. When ready to feed, you simply remove the stopper stick. There is no need to break the seal of a sterilized bottle to remove a travel disc.
