There exists no household that has had a small child, that hasn’t owned a baby bottle. Some bottles are practically family heirlooms, passed on for generations (I know mine was!). Luckily, today bottles are plentiful and cheap, but that doesn’t mean they’re of poor quality. On the contrary, Tommie Teepee’s Closer to Nature Fiesta bottle is one of the most popular and best quality baby bottles, proving that there are true gems out there on the market.
Design and Features
Bottle features and overview
So, what makes Closer to Nature Fiesta bottle so awesome? The bottle is a true plastic bundle of innovation and convenience. The bottle has been made according to highest standards, and has been made to provide maximum feeding comfort to both the child and the parent. Because feeding of the baby is such an important part of bonding with the child, Fiesta bottle is such a prized possession for new parents. Its ergonomic curved design, as well as excellent craftsmanship on the part of the manufacturer allows the bottle to slip into one’s hand easily and stay firmly there while allowing the child to suck comfortably for longer periods of time.
The nipple
The secret behind the success Fiesta bottle is experiencing is a little bit of keen thinking and farsightedness of the manufacturer. We all had our fair share of troubles with ordinary commercial bottles, as the baby wouldn’t latch on, or would get fussy, and there are, of course, health issues due to chemicals being used in the creation of the bottles. Fiesta bottle tries to be as natural as possible, and the bottle itself is trying to mimic as accurately as possible the feeling of breastfeeding for the child. Most of this is owing to the revolutionary nipple used with this bottle.
Fiesta bottle’s nipple is made from a soft silicon-based material that is very soft to touch and very stretchy. In fact, the material is such that it very closely resembles human skin. This makes the child much more likely to latch on, as it gets the same feeling as it would when breastfeeding. Not only that, but the shape of the nipple and its stretchiness is also reminiscent of the baby’s mother’s skin, again facilitating easier latching on.
But the nipple doesn’t stop astonishing us. It is also made with a super sensitive valve. This valve makes feeding more effective, and allows for better consumption of the bottle’s contents, with as little consumption of air as possible. This will prevent your child from getting bloated and extirpating gasses a greater rate than usual.
Design and influence of shape
But the bottle has other splendid features as well. I mentioned that the bottle has a very curvy shape. The design of the bottle is made so it can facilitate three ways of holding it. You can either hold the bottle firmly in hand in a traditional manner, like you would hold a wide-necked bottle, you can cradle it, or you can hold it on the base. Not only that, but the bottle itself is very compact. This allows you to come closer to the child, and again pertains to the point I made about bonding. The baby can now feel your presence more acutely, and can see your face and analyze it more closely, and will become accustomed to it more quickly.
Safety
As far as safety is concerned, the bottle is extremely safe. Many brands make plastic bottles, but the way they make them is unsafe for your child. Plastic is often made with BPA, which is a very hardy and sturdy substance. However, it has one nasty characteristic, and it dissolves in organic compounds very well. This causes BPA to leak into the milk you’re giving your baby, which can create various health issues. Some manufacturers try producing glass bottles in order to keep up with the high health standards, but glass is much more expensive than plastic. That is why many manufacturers like Tommie Teepee are trying to produce their bottles without BPA and eliminate the health risks they might have for your child.
Ease of use and maintenance
Lastly, the bottle is very easy to clean and refill too. The people at Tommie Teepee are aware that you don’t particularly like cleaning bottles all the time, but sometimes you’re forced to use it. Whether a personal preference or medical condition that’s stopping you from breastfeeding, you will use the bottle, and they have to be maintained. That is why Fiesta bottle is completely dishwasher safe. In addition you can put the bottle safely in the microwave, without fear of the plastic melting from excessive heat. Fiesta is pretty sturdy, and you won’t have any worries that it might become damaged during the extensive action it will see with your child.
The good, the bad (but no ugly):
The good:
- The nipple feels very close to human skin, enabling a better latching on and more comfort while breastfeeding.
- The bottle is made so that it can be held firmly in hand in several ways.
- The bottle is made without the use of BPA and other aggressive and harmful petroleum-based chemicals.
The bad:
- Being plastic, it will never be as clean as a glass bottle.
- Some of the milk can get stuck in the lid, and it’s hard to get it out of there.
Conclusion
The bottom line is that Tommie Teepee Closer to Nature Fiesta Bottle is a very reliable and safe product. It has many advantages and no disadvantages. The bottle is BPA free, which is very important for your child’s safety. The bottle is also very good at soliciting bonding between the person feeding the child and the baby, as you can get closer to it, allowing the child to feel your presence better. The silicon nipple is made to feel as much as human skin as possible, which will eliminate problems with the baby not latching on, or with the baby suddenly weaning. All in all, if you’re in need of a baby bottle
