Whether you breastfeed or use Calma - milk only flows when the baby tries for it. \ \ - allows babies to maintain the natural breastfeeding rhythm they learned at the breast, \ \ - babies can feed, breathe and take regular breaks, \ \ - allows easy transition from breast to nipple and vice versa, \ \ - one size is enough for the entire breastfeeding period, just like in nature. \ \ the ideal nipple for your baby - we recommend using the Calma nipple once breastfeeding is established. \ \ Breastfeeding is the most natural and healthy way for mothers to provide breast milk to their babies and is a process that mother and baby have to learn together. h Medela is constantly working with researchers from the University of Western Australia (UWA) to fully understand this complex process. \ \ Medela offers a wide range of solutions and services that ensure that babies are properly nourished with breast milk and help mother and baby adapt to each other. \ \ Although breastfeeding is always best for your baby, sometimes it is not possible to breastfeed naturally. Calma is an alternative solution for mothers who wish to feed their babies with breast milk. \ \ Why Calma? \ \ our recent studies with researchers at the university of western australia (uwa) show that creating negative pressure is essential for successful breastfeeding. babies learn early on that they need to create negative pressure to get milk flowing. natural breastfeeding behaviour requires intensive work! \ \ simple nipples promote an unnatural technique. \ \ when you offer your baby milk from a breast milk bottle with a simple nipple, you are teaching him a different technique than breastfeeding. the milk flows automatically and does not stop when the baby wants to pause and breathe. this makes it easier for the baby to choke and may cause breathing difficulties. \ \ calma – the ideal solution for feeding babies with breast milk! \ \ for a mother looking for the best nipple to offer her baby pumped breast milk, calma is the ideal solution. It has been developed based on the results of studies by the University of Western Australia (UWA) and is the ideal nipple for breastfed babies, as it allows them to feed, swallow and breathe, as they have learned at the breast. Whether you are breastfeeding or using the Calma, your baby needs to create a vacuum for the breast milk to flow. When the baby pauses, the flow stops, just like at the breast. \ \ As with breastfeeding, with the Calma your baby can: \ \ - drink, pause and breathe at their natural rhythm, \ \ - create a vacuum through a combination of tongue and jaw movements, \ \ - maintain the natural rhythm of breastfeeding, which allows for an easy transition from the breast to feeding breast milk with the Calma and back to the breast again. \ \ Package with 1 special Calma nipple. \
