INTERVIEW: Breastfeeding, Going Back to Work and Calma

Mom Interview Calma Bottle

For a first time mom, having a baby can be the most overwhelming and magical time of your life. So, like any first time mom, Courtney Rosser spent much of her time researching what to expect and how to adjust to her new life.

Courtney was determined to make breastfeeding her little girl, Arianna, a success once she returned to work. So, after using our new breastmilk feeding solution, Calma successfully, Courtney wanted to share her story with you.

Once breastfeeding was well established, Courtney decided it was time to introduce a breastmilk bottle to prepare Arianna for when she was going back to work. Courtney first tried slow flow nipples with no success. She found these nipples overwhelmed Arianna, causing her to spit up often. So, after some research she discovered Calma, a breastmilk bottle developed using evidence-based research on babies’ natural feeding behavior to support an easy transition from bottle back to breast. In her mind, that was a great solution to support her wishes to return to work and continue breastfeeding. So, with one try, Arianna was hooked:

“She took it the first time. It was just so easy. She took the whole bottle really slowly, at her own pace. So, she could stop, pull away and breathe. It was comforting to know there was a solution that was going to work for us.”

When it was time for Courtney to return to work, she felt confident that any caregiver could use Calma to provide breastmilk to Arianna. Not only that, Calma also gave Courtney and her husband the flexibility to take her baby anywhere and feel comfortable providing breastmilk. That freedom was just what a first time mom, like Courtney, needed. In fact, Courtney believes she’ll be able to breastfeed longer because of the flexibility Calma bottles brought her family:

“Breastfeeding was really overwhelming at first and Calma provided the breaks that we needed but still allowed us to enjoy bonding time and all the benefits of breastfeeding. I think it helped me breastfeed longer.”

Now, Arianna is 6 months old and continues to breastfeed successfully with the help of Calma.

6 Reasons To Try Calma

Medela Calma

For many busy moms, pumping is the best option to meet the many needs of their families. But above all, moms want to ensure that they’re providing the best nutrition possible for their little ones, even when they can’t be there. That’s where Calma, our new breastmilk bottle comes into play. Calma was developed using evidence-based research on babies’ natural feeding behavior, so moms can enjoy their breastfeeding bond longer.

Here are six reasons why moms like you say that Calma could be the breastmilk bottle-feeding solution for you and your baby. Be sure to check out the links below and see the reviews moms posted on their blogs:

  1. Calma reduces gassiness. Calma has a vented nipple that helps prevent your little one from swallowing too much air during a feeding.
  2. Calma supports an easy transition from bottle to breast. Calma mimics your baby’s natural feeding behavior, so they can use a similar sucking pattern to breastfeeding, even when they can’t be near you.
  3. Calma allows your baby to control the flow. Your baby can pause, breathe and feed naturally.
  4. Calma won’t leak. You can turn Calma upside down and it still won’t drip. Your baby needs to create a vacuum in order for milk to flow.
  5. You only need one nipple for all stages of breastmilk feeding. The flow, shape and length of Calma are designed to fit your baby’s needs as your baby grows.
  6. Calma is compatible with all Medela breastmilk bottles. Already stocked with Medela bottles? No problem. The Calma nipple fits on any Medela bottle.
