BOTTLE WITH DEVICE FOR FEEDING MILK
Breastfeeding is the best for your baby. Unfortunately, breastfeeding is sometimes not possible. Calma is a breastfeeding alternative for mothers who wish to feed their babies expressed breast milk.
- It allows infants to maintain their natural learned sucking behavior at the breast.
- Newborns can feed, breathe, and take breaks regularly.
- It supports an easy transition from breast to feeding solution and vice versa.
- A single size is sufficient for the entire lactation period, just like in nature.
- The only feeding solution for your baby.
Calma - the only breast milk feeding solution for your baby
For a mother looking for a solution to feed her baby with breast milk, Calma is the right solution. Calma was developed based on the results of our study in collaboration with the University of Western Australia. This is why Calma is the feeding solution indicated for babies who are fed expressed breast milk, because it allows them to suck, swallow and breathe, with the same competence learned in breastfeeding. In both breastfeeding and using Calma, the baby must create a vacuum to allow breast milk to flow. Just like breastfeeding, as soon as the baby takes a break, the flow of milk stops.
Why Calma?
Our latest studies, in collaboration with researchers from the University of Western Australia, show that creating a vacuum is essential for effective breastfeeding. Babies intuitively learn very early that a vacuum must be created to help milk flow. While breastfeeding, the baby's natural sucking method requires intense effort!
Similar to breastfeeding, your baby can
- feed, take a break and breathe following its natural rhythm,
- create his individual emptiness through a combination of tongue and jaw movements,
- maintain its natural sucking behavior, supporting an easy transition from breast to Calma, and vice versa.
Nutrition - Tips and tricks
It is normal for the child to be a little nervous in the first approaches with Calma; it could be the first time the baby has come into contact with anything other than the mother's breast. Although Calma appears absolutely normal to the adult, to the baby it does not have the same smell, taste and feel as the mother's breast. It may therefore take a while for Calma to be accepted by the child.
Below are some tips and suggestions developed with the collaboration of some new mothers and experienced mothers, thanks to which the child will be able to accept Calma better despite the initial hesitations.
- Have another adult (other than the mother) give the first feed with Calma. Also, hold the baby in a different position than when breastfeeding. In this way the baby will learn a new breastfeeding position, and it will be easier for him to switch from breast to Calma and vice versa.
- Before starting to feed, dip the silicone tip of Calma into expressed breast milk.
- Keep Calma at an angle of approximately 45 degrees to the child's lower lip.
- To encourage the baby to open his mouth to accept Calma, stimulate his lip as you would when breastfeeding.
- When the baby opens his mouth, place Calma on the tip of his tongue. Do not push Calma into the baby's mouth: the baby will accept Calma according to his own needs, just as he learned to breast with the nipple.
- During the entire feeding process, leave Calma in the position chosen by the baby. To facilitate the flow of milk, the baby must create a vacuum as is the case with breastfeeding. Extracting or inserting Calma into the baby's mouth would interrupt this process. It could also cause choking.
- With Calma, you don't have to give up: it may take three or more tries for your child to learn how to use Calma.
- If the baby has already used another teat, be aware that Calma works differently. With Calma, milk flow is controlled by the interaction between the baby's suckling and Calma's milk flow control system. This is unlike any other conventional teat, so it may take some patience.
