Calma solitaire
Switching from bottle back to breast has never been easier. Calma was developed using evidence-based research on babies' natural feeding behavior so you can enjoy your breastfeeding bond longer.
With Calma, the milk will only flow if your baby works and creates vacuum to remove the milk. This enables the feeding behavior learned at the breast to be used with Calma.
It is recommended that you use Calma exclusively from the first bottle feeding and only for breastmilk. You may need a little patience until Calma will be accepted by your baby.
It is the first time that your baby comes in contact with an artificial material instead of the familiar breast.
Everything is new for your baby and they cannot smell you and your milk as with breastfeeding. To encourage your baby to open their mouth to take Calma, stimulate the lip as you would with breastfeeding.
Similar to breastfeeding your baby can
- Drink, pause and breathe in its natural rhythm
- Create its individual vacuum through a combination of tongue and jaw movements
- Retain its natural way of sucking, which supports an easy transition from breastfeeding to breast milk with Calma and back to breast
- Introducing the revolutionary breastfeeding-friendly feeding solution for breastmilk
- Breast is best but when Mum has to be separated from her baby for work or social reasons then Calma provides the right feeding solution
- Calma is the only scientific-based feeding device that helps to support the similar sucking behaviour of the baby at the breast
- Calma requires a similar sucking behaviour to breastfeeding using the tongue to create vacuum making it easier for babies to switch between breast and Calma
- Breastfeeding needs to be well established before introducing Calma, Calma is recommended for breastfed babies and not those who are currently bottle fed as they may find it difficult to feed
