Calma Breast Milk Feeding Bottle - by Medela

Description
Breastfeeding is always best for your baby, but sometimes it is not possible to breastfeed naturally. Calma is an alternative to breastfeeding for mothers wishing to feed their babies with breast milk.

- Enables babies to maintain their natural feeding behavior learned on the breast.
- Babies can drink, breathe and pause regularly.
- Supports an easy transition from the breast to the teat and back.
- One size is sufficient for the entire breastfeeding period, just as in nature.
- The unique feeding solution for your baby - we recommend introducing a teat when breastfeeding is established

Designed exclusively for breastmilk feeding, Calma's natural feeding behavior supports an easy transition between bottle and breast. Calma is compatible with all Medela breastmilk bottles. All parts that touch breastmilk are BPA-free.

Why Calma?
Our latest studies with researchers from the University of Western Australia show that creating a vacuum is essential to successfully breastfeed. Babies learn very early on that they have to produce a vacuum for the breast milk to flow. Their natural way of sucking requires intensive work during breastfeeding!

Calma - the unique breast milk teat for your baby
For a mother looking for a solution to feed her child breast milk, Calma is ideal. Calma was developed based on the results of our studies with the University of Western Australia. That's why Calma is the unique teat for babies who are being breastfed with breast milk, as it allows them to suck, swallow and breathe, as learned on the breast. Whether you breastfeed or use Calma, the baby has to create a vacuum for breast milk to flow. As soon as the baby pauses, the flow is stopped, this is also the way with breastfeeding.

Similar as with breastfeeding, your baby can drink, pause and breathe in its natural rhythm, create its individual vacuum through a combination of tongue and jaw movements, retain its natural way of sucking, which supports an easy transition from breastfeeding to feeding breast milk with Calma and back to the breast.

Natural feeding behavior
Supports easy transition from bottle to breast. Research has shown that with Calma, your baby is able to maintain the learned feeding behavior that your baby exhibits when breastfeeding. Baby can feed, pause and breathe, similar to breastfeeding.
