Insights
Colic symptoms in newborns significantly improved when using BornFree ActiveFlow baby bottles. This study found BornFree bottles effectively reduced infant colic, easing parental burden.
Area of Science:
- Pediatrics
- Infant Health
- Gastroenterology
Background:
- Infant colic is a common condition causing significant parental distress.
- Existing feeding bottles may not adequately address colic symptoms.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the efficacy of BornFree ActiveFlow baby bottles in reducing colic symptoms in infants.
- To compare the impact of BornFree bottles versus other brands on infant colic.
Main Methods:
- A comparative study involving 30 newborns diagnosed with colic (ages 2-21 weeks).
- An experimental group (20 infants) used BornFree bottles, while a control group (10 infants) used other brands.
- Observed colic symptoms were monitored over two weeks.
Main Results:
- The experimental group showed significant improvement in colic symptoms after one week, with further improvement in the second week.
- The control group exhibited no significant change in colic symptoms throughout the study.
- BornFree bottles demonstrated a clear positive effect on reducing infant colic.
Conclusions:
- BornFree ActiveFlow baby bottles are effective in reducing colic symptoms in diagnosed infants.
- The study suggests a potential benefit of specialized bottle design in managing infant colic.
Abstract:
Despite its benign, natural course, colic is a significant problem in babies and imparts a psychological and physical burden to parents. This study has examined the relief of colic symptoms when using BornFree ActiveFlow baby bottles by comparing observed symptoms of 30 otherwise healthy newborns (ages 2-21 weeks) who had all been diagnosed as having colic symptoms. Twenty of the babies were switched to feeding with BornFree bottles (the experimental group), while the other 10 babies continued feeding with bottles by other manufacturers (the control group). A significant improvement was exhibited in the experimental group after 1 week of feeding with BornFree bottles, with a further significant improvement in the second week. Although they had different venting systems, the control group maintained the same level of colic symptoms as in the beginning of the study. We conclude that using BornFree baby bottles can effectively reduce colic symptoms in diagnosed babies.

Antitussives include codeine, dextromethorphan (Robitussin), and benzonatate (Tessalon). Codeine and dextromethorphan exert their effects centrally by suppressing the cough reflex center in the medulla. Benzonatate operates peripherally within the respiratory tract by...
