Different Baby Bottle designs and uses
There are different designs of baby bottle to choose according to the baby and mother's need and convenience. The plain feeding bottles with a simple design with a rubber teat or nipple can be used to start with so the baby can get used to external feeding. The curved or printed feeding bottles can be used as the baby grows and gets used to drinking from a bottle. Most baby bottle are designed and marked with measurement in ounces so mothers will know exactly how much they are feeding the baby.
The material for the baby bottle has been a controversial topic with some people insisting glass is the best because they do not contain harmful chemicals that can get mixed up with the baby's milk or formula. But since they are heavy and breakable most mothers find them inconvenient though now glass baby bottle with silicon sleeves that prevent breakage when dropped are also available. Some parents may prefer stainless steel baby bottle because of their durability and also again they do not have chemicals but cleaning and sterilizing stainless steel bottles is quite a tedious process and if not cleaned properly can cause more harm to the baby.
Plastic baby bottle on the other hand is easy to handle are more durable and easy to clean and sterilize. But care should be taken while buying plastic baby bottles because plastic bottles made of polycarbonates contain Bisphenol A or BPA which may leak into milk or baby food and is quite harmful to the health of the baby and no parent would want their baby to be ingesting it by mistake. The best option is to go for branded and reputable plastic baby bottle manufactures. The teat or nipple of the baby bottle is equally important and comes in several varieties like latex, rubber and silicon.
They also come in different shapes and mothers need to experiment a bit to know what shape the baby prefers. Baby bottle nipple condition also needs to be monitored and replaced on a regular basis - the moment there is change in the color or the nipple is deteriorated in any way. Sterilizing the baby bottle is one of the most important tasks since babies are very sensitive to bacteria and virus and are prone to infection.
It is also better to wash and sterilize the baby bottle separately instead of using the dishwasher. It does not matter whether glass, steel or plastic baby bottle is used as long as it is cleaned and sterilized properly the baby will have healthy food.

How do you clean a rancid baby bottle?
I recently found a baby bottle that had been dropped under the couch, how do I go about cleaning it? Money is tight for me, so I can't just throw it out and buy another one.
Wash the bottle thoroughly with soap and a bottle brush then boil for 5 minutes (or run it through the dishwasher on the heat dry cycle). If it still stinks after that, make a paste of baking soda and water and use the bottle brush to smear the paste all over the inside of the bottle. Leave the paste on overnight and then wash it off with soap and hot water. The smell should be gone after that.
