The Mammafeel bottle supports your breastfeeding journey: backed by medical research

When you welcome a baby into your life, you make choices every day that shape your well-being, your rhythm, and your bond

And one of those choices is: How will you feed your baby? Whether you breastfeed exclusively, combine breast and bottle, or simply need a bottle when you're on the go, you deserve solutions that support your journey, not disrupt it.

A new medical report on the Difrax LOVI Mammafeel bottle gives parents exactly that sense of confidence. The findings show that this bottle is not only lovingly designed, but also truly respects the natural sucking reflex, supports oral development and may even help reduce discomfort caused by swallowed air.

This isn't a marketing promise, but research carried out with 102 families, clearly showing how much it matters when a bottle genuinely aligns with the natural way babies feed.

The power of a natural transition between breast and bottle

Many parents know that worry: "Will my baby still latch well if I also offer a bottle?" The report offers a reassuring answer.

Speech and feeding therapist Magdalena Mazur observed how babies fed at the breast, with their usual bottle and then with the Mammafeel bottle. The differences were striking. The Mammafeel bottle supports a feeding pattern similar to breastfeeding, babies used the same muscles, the same oral posture, and the same calming rhythms.

Across 71 feedings, it was observed that:

  • 87% of babies breathed calmly through their nose
  • 86% kept the correct mouth position
  • 94% used their lips in a natural way

This means the bottle doesn't work against your baby's instincts, it works with them. And that gives you the freedom to feed in the way that fits your family.

Less air, less discomfort, more harmony

A baby who drinks calmly is a baby who can relax. The Mammafeel bottle supports this because babies can seal their lips well around the teat and breathe freely through their nose.

The result? Less air intake, less chance of tummy discomfort and more comfort during and after feeding. All without complex anti-colic systems, just a teat that aligns with how babies naturally feed.

For babies who need extra support

Not every baby starts breastfeeding easily and that's okay. Some little ones need time, patience or extra guidance. According to the study, the Mammafeel bottle can be a valuable tool in that journey. Babies tend to develop an effective sucking reflex more quickly and for families working toward returning to breastfeeding, the bottle offers a gentle, supportive bridge.

Speech therapist Magdalena Mazur even notes that the Mammafeel bottle may help speed up progress during feeding therapy for babies with sucking challenges. Because the teat works in ways similar to a mother's breast, it gives babies exactly the sensory and motor input they need to grow and practice.

The teat that adapts to your baby

What makes the Mammafeel bottle truly special is its design, fully inspired by the mother's breast.

The teat moves dynamically with your baby's sucking rhythm, feels soft like a mother's skin, provides extra grip where needed, allows the tongue to move freely and keeps the nose unobstructed so breathing stays effortless.

It's a design that not only makes sense, but also brings real calm to your baby's body. And when your baby relaxes during feeding, you do too.

Compared to other bottles: a clear difference

The study compared 31 bottles from 11 brands with the Mammafeel bottle. The differences were remarkable:

  • 71% proper lip seal (vs. 9.7%)
  • 83.9% proper suck–swallow–breathe coordination (vs. 19.4%)
  • 84% correct oral posture (vs. 16.1%)
  • 87% proper lip function (vs. 16.1%)

These numbers show that feeding is about more than giving milk, it's about safety, comfort, calm and development. Exactly the things parents value most.

Feeding is love and every path is valid

Difrax LOVI emphasizes that breastfeeding is a beautiful, healthy choice. At the same time, we recognize that every parent feeds with love, in the way that fits their family.

The Mammafeel bottle is not a replacement for that love, it's a supportive tool you can use as part of your unique feeding journey. A bottle that works with you, not against you. A bottle that gives you the confidence that you are doing it right. And that, ultimately, is what every parent deserves.
