Nanobébé
Nanobebe is the first baby bottle designed to preserve essential breast milk nutrients and voted by Time magazine as one of the best inventions of the year.
The all-in-one feeding solution has literally just launched in the UK following massive success in the US and has been developed by a team of paediatricians, lactation consultants and biomedical engineers to offer baby an experience second only to breastfeeding itself.
The revolutionary bottle improves the entire process of feeding breast milk from a bottle. Thanks to it's unique dome-shaped design it warms up milk 2-3 times faster while also allowing it to be spread in to a thin layer that cools quickly, reaching the recommended refrigerated temperatures 2 x faster than a standard bottle (bacteria in food multiplies quicker when stored at room temperature so it's beneficial to cool breast milk as quickly as possible so that the immunological properties inside go towards baby's nutrition rather than fighting bacterial growth).
