According to a recent scientific study, the Playtex® Drop-Ins® System mimics the natural swallowing and breathing patterns seen during breastfeeding, which makes for efficient and healthy milk expression*.
The Study Showed:
- Breastfed infants have a well-coordinated feeding pattern of sucking, breathing and swallowing.
- Testing of a leading hard-walled bottle showed a significantly different feeding pattern as compared to breastfeeding, which could lead to more gas and tummy upset.
- The Drop-Ins® System mimicked the feeding and breathing pattern of breastfeeding. This means baby can more easily alternate between breastfeeding and bottle feeding.
