General assessment of the LOVI bottle with a dynamic teat
Medical examination of the LOVI bottle with a dynamic teat on a group of 607 infants aged 0-12 months, conducted among doctors, nurses and midwives and 607 parents of infants aged 0-12 months (in Polish hospitals and paediatric clinics) confirmed the unique features of the natural process of suckling resembling breastfeeding:
-
keeping the natural rhythm of suckling (as at the breast)
-
proper coordination of suckling - swallowing - breathing (as at the breast)
-
active work of the muscles of the lips and tongue (as at the breast)
-
suckling efficiency (as at the breast)
of doctors did not notice any difficulties in combining breastfeeding with the LOVI bottle feeding
of doctors confirmed the natural rhythm of suckling (as at breastfeeding)

Conclusions
Feeding with the LOVI bottle with a dynamic teat enables:
-
protection of natural sucking reflex,
-
safe combination of breast and bottle feeding (does not disturb the natural rhythm of suckling),
-
active work during bottle feeding, just like while breastfeeding,
-
intensive work of breathing apparatus and stimulating the muscles responsible for the development of speech and bite,
-
proper breathing through the nose during feeding, minimizing the risk of colic.
