BARE air-free is the second most natural way of feeding your baby, but is it Green?

At Bittylab, we believe that good nutrition begins at day one. Breast milk is the best nutrition for babies. When you can’t breastfeed, BARE is here to help you and your baby with a good start.

• Promotes breastfeeding: the Perfe-latch™ nipple is a device that behaves like a prosthetic feeding nipple. Because it starts small, it helps baby learn to open his mouth wide to get a latch onto the areola part, only then the small nipple touches his/her tongue and triggers the suction process. Once baby sucks, the nipple stretches to reach between the soft and hard palette and begins to dispense milk. Another reason to breastfeed is because mom produces milk with different nutrient values at different times of the day. Other bottles make feeding too easy for the baby; they dispense milk before baby begins to suck and the unnatural nipple shape promotes improper latching by allowing baby to latch on the tip.
• Safest materials available: BARE air-free baby bottles are made with the same safe material as medical devices, like syringes for example. BARE is BPA-free, PVC-free, Lead-free & Phthalate-free. 
• Economical and better for the environment: BARE has no consumable components like drop-in bags that are used once and discarded, adding to landfill waste. BARE’s components are designed to be sterilized and reused hundreds of times before needing replacement. BARE was engineered to minimize the amount of material in production to reduce environmental impact. All parts are designed for easy disassembly and washing to promote good hygiene. 
• Healthier feeding: BARE’s ability to dispense milk without air vents creates an air-tight environment. The lack of air inside a BARE bottle inhibits bacteria growth and retains milk nutrients longer for healthier feeding. The patented air-plug™ helps prevent baby’s backwash from penetrating the bottle. This vent-less system dispenses air-free milk to help prevent air swallowing that leads to gas and colic in babies. BARE allows baby to take only what he/she needs by dispensing milk upon suction only. 

As responsible parents, we try to find a balance between sustainability, affordability, and leading a healthy lifestyle in general. One of the easy things to do was breastfeed my babies for as long as I could. Well, things don’t always work according to plan. As a result, BARE air-free was born to help combo moms continue to breastfeed. That’s my contribution towards making earth a better place.

ABC Kids Show

We are back from the ABC Show. What a great experience! The big brands were there of course but to my surprise, I met a lot of fabulous mom-preneurs promoting all kinds of products from a device that reduces the pain of vaccinations to bottle bibs, sunshades, and inflatable booster seats. These are all moms who were unhappy/frustrated with commercially available solutions and decided to invent and market their own useful product.

BARE air-free baby bottles got the attention of many attendees; the ones who have heard about it were amazed that it worked as expected. Others who discovered BARE at the show were genuinely excited and agreed that BARE is the “next generation” in baby bottles. Some of our competitors came over to see me demonstrate BARE in action. One particular man wearing the identity of a major baby bottle brand seemed very concerned and after I did the demo, his face turned pale, then he quickly left without talking. Normally I’d expect a “thank you” or question but he really looked alarmed and threatened which I found amusing.

After a first day full of international buyers, the second and third days were more about domestic buyers. Many independent retailers were excited by the demonstration and want to carry the BARE bottles. On the fourth day I was elated to learn from someone at my booth that BARE bottles are featured in the Daily, a tabloid distributed at the show. That woke me up and put a smile on my face. BARE was picked from thousands of products to be written up, now that’s amazing!!
