Bottles for precious breast milk
Expressing and feeding your baby with breast milk helps a lot in her development. If handled correctly, expressed breast milk contains all the natural nutrients and vitamins your baby needs. Available in 150ml and 250ml versions, these easy-to-use Medela bottles allow you to measure milk accurately with milliliter and ounce markers. These convenient BPA-free bottles are compatible with all Medela breast pumps, so you can express, store and feed your baby milk using one versatile container.

The bottle's nipple is available in slow or medium flow versions, so you can always adjust the Medela breastmilk bottle to the age and needs of your growing baby. This comes equipped with a travel cap to keep the teat clean while you're out and about.


Benefits of storing and feeding your baby milk using the same bottle
Medela bottles are unbreakable and are available in two sizes: 150ml with a slow flow nipple and 250ml with a medium flow nipple. It is also possible to buy replacement nipples separately.

Breastmilk bottles are dishwasher and microwave safe and made from BPA-free materials.

The bottles can be used with all Medela breast pumps and teats.

Additional Information

What is mature breast milk?
By the time your baby is about a month old, your breast milk will be fully mature. From now on, the composition of your breast milk does not change much, unless your baby needs extra protection.

como e produzido o leite materno

 

Your breast milk starts to mature after about two weeks, but it won't be fully mature until your baby is about four weeks old. From now on, its composition will generally be stable – it will certainly not undergo drastic changes like what happened in the first month.

Mature milk is alive
Shortly after reaching maturity, your milk begins to contain higher amounts of certain components that protect your baby from bacterial or viral infections.1 It is probably no coincidence that this stage of milk production coincides with the time when he begins to pick up objects and put them in their mouths.

But the biggest change happens if one of the two gets an infection. Then the proportion of white blood cells in your milk skyrockets to combat it.2

Like all stages of breast milk, mature milk is a living fluid. Even if we knew exactly what it's made of and everything these components do (and scientists are still studying this), we wouldn't be able to copy it exactly, because every mother's milk is calibrated to her baby's needs.

"Breast milk is made up of components that are brought to your breasts by the blood," explains Professor Peter Hartmann, a specialist in breast milk production at the University of Western Australia. "Milk-producing cells extract the components they need – and they are pretty picky about what they choose!"

It's nutrition, protection, body formation and taste, all in one. And yet, you never have to think about it, because your body produces the composition your baby needs.

The difference between starter milk and final milk
At the beginning of each breastfeeding session, your mature milk appears less thick and is generally known as starter milk – although Professor Hartmann prefers the term "previous milk". When you breastfeed, your milk gradually gets fatter and is referred to as final milk or "hind milk".

"The fat content depends on whether the breast is too full or too drained," explains Professor Hartmann. "The fat increases throughout the breastfeeding session until about 30 minutes later and then decreases as the breast fills up again. The concentration of fat in the fore and hind milk depends on how much milk the baby has taken from the Therefore, at one time of day, fore milk may have a higher fat content than hindmilk at another time of day.

"Once a mother's milk matures, she will give about the same amount of fat to her baby in a 24-hour period, regardless of how often you breastfeed," he adds.

Mature milk is not just for nutrition
Although your baby needs to start eating solid foods when he's about six months old, breast milk can still make up up to half of his daily calorie intake – along with other foods – up to two years and beyond.3 And yours wonderful milk continues to play a role that goes far beyond simple nutrition.

"We believe that mammals initially began to secrete milk to protect their young and that nutritional function developed later," explains Professor Hartmann. "So most of the compounds in breast milk that have a nutritional role are also protective in some way. This means that there is a lot of value in breast milk, but it makes things tricky for research!"

Here are a few examples: alpha-lactalbumin, the most important protein in breast milk, has antibacterial properties and helps boost your baby's immune system.4 Lactoferrin, a protein that transports iron in the body, also has antifungal effects.5 And the fatty acids in human milk are also antiviral and antibacterial.6

 

Gut, immune system and brain development
All milk contains the sugar lactose, but breast milk also contains more than 200 human milk oligosaccharides.7 These complex sugars help create and protect a healthy gut and build the immune system. There is nothing like this amount of oligosaccharides in cow's milk or formula milk, and researchers are continuing to study their role.8

Likewise, all milks contain fats, but the blending of fats in mature human milk is uniquely complex. Our brains are more complicated than those of other animals, and given that more than half of the human brain is made up of fat,9 it is obvious that we need tailor-made fat ingredients to help develop this complexity.10

Humans are born at an earlier stage of development compared to other mammals, but during our first six months, our brain mass nearly doubles.11 So it's no wonder that our babies need more protection and growth-promoting nutrition. brain development during its first months and years.

"Your breast milk will always be better for your baby than any other milk you can buy in stores."

Proteins are complex molecules that play very important roles in our health. Some act as structural units for growth and repair, while others help trigger the essential chemical reactions that take place in our bodies. Your mature breast milk contains over 1000 different proteins12 that support your baby's brain and immune system while helping them to grow.13

Mature breast milk is also rich in micronutrients: vitamins, minerals and trace elements, from calcium to cadmium, to support your development and well-being. Your balance changes throughout the day to meet your baby's needs.14

Some of the constituents in your breast milk may come as a surprise. "Mature milk is high in cholesterol. It's high in sugar, in the form of the simple carbohydrate lactose. And the proportion of protein is extremely low - it's only 7% or 8% of a baby's caloric intake. breastfed, compared to around 12% when growing up", reveals Professor Hartmann. "It's not what we think is convenient for adults, but it's ideal for babies – and it shows how breastmilk is tailored specifically to their needs."

Breast milk ingredients that cannot be reproduced
Some elements of mature breast milk cannot be replicated because they are unique to your own body. Nearly a third of the helpful bacteria in your baby's gut come from your breast milk and another 10% from your own breast skin.15

Breast milk also contains stem cells, the "miracle cells" that can renew themselves and transform into other types of cells.16 Researchers continue to try to determine what role they play in your milk and in your baby's development.

There are also hormones in your mature milk, including some that help control your baby's appetite and the way your baby processes insulin.17 This may be one reason why children who were breastfed as babies are less likely to become obese than they are. than those who were formula-fed.18

And since what you eat affects the taste of your milk, your baby also tastes different flavors every day19 – another thing that formula milk can't replicate.

"The differences between breast milk and formula milk are huge. We could spend a whole day analyzing the differences between the milks and the difficulties in trying to artificially produce milk for babies", says Professor Hartmann. "For example, the concentration of salt in cow's milk, used to make formula milk, can be toxic to babies, so it has to be highly processed."

"No matter how long you breastfeed, your breast milk will always be better for your baby than any milk you buy in stores or that scientists can create in a laboratory. It's also a very practical and economical way to feed your baby and has fantastic benefits for your health and the health of your little one."

When it comes to feeding your baby, breast milk is truly the crème de la crème.
