Bare® is the world’s first baby bottle that feeds baby Air-free milk. With a sliding air-plug, it allows the user to expel all the air out of the bottle, like a syringe, and automatically moves towards nipple as baby feeds, so the milk chamber is always air free to dramatically reduce air ingestion while feeding to help prevent gas and colic. Bare® works with suction, allowing baby to feed in a natural, upright position, which is recommended by Pediatricians to prevent ear infections, painful gas, acid reflux symptoms and over-eating, promotes self-feeding, bottle waning and easier transition to cups. Bare's Perfe-latch® nipple is specially designed for breastfed babies: The short tip stimulates baby to create a wide latch onto the areola part of the nipple, not just the tip. Once a seal is established and baby initiates suction, the short nipple extends inside the baby's mouth, much like mom's nipple. Both the Perfe-latch® and the new Easy-latch™ nipple, designed for bottle-fed babies, feature Flow-Control® Technology: Different size orifices on the tip dispense different flow rates controlled by the baby’s sucking strength. With weaker suction (i.e. a newborn’s) only the larger orifice dispenses (the large orifice is about the orifice of a standard newborn nipple). With stronger suction (i.e. a 10 month old baby) all the other smaller orifices dispense  – like nature intended. Bittylab.com
