Getting Started with nfant® Thrive Bottle

The nfant® Thrive Bottle system leverages the same patented technology we’ve been using in top-ranking pediatric hospitals and NICUs across the U.S. for more than a decade. Now available for families everywhere, Thrive Bottle provides data-based insights into how well your baby is feeding. Here’s how!

Measuring muscle movement

Each time your baby feeds, a complex set of muscle movements takes place, driven by your baby’s tongue. This suck-swallow-breathe pattern involves careful coordination among the lips, jaw and hard/soft palate. The nfant® Thrive Smart Bottle measures and tracks these movements with a cantilever that fits into the top of the nipple.

Converting movements to data

As your baby sucks on the nipple and swallows, these muscle movements cause the cantilever to move and gently tap the drum at the bottom of the bottle. The bluetooth-enabled Smart Sensor is connected to this piece.

Analyzing biofeedback

The Smart Sensor on the bottom of the bottle wirelessly transmits these movement patterns to the Tracker App, which translates them into key metrics that show how well your baby is feeding.

Creating your baby’s profile

Data from each feeding gets recorded in your baby’s profile. You can allow multiple caregivers to record your baby’s feedings – such as a nanny – on their own phone. You control who can see and access your baby’s information.

Optimize to your baby

The nfant® Tracker App guides you through selecting the best way to hold your baby during feedings to maximize comfort for you and your little one. You can even make changes to your position and see in real time how your baby’s feeding performance is impacted.

Choose the right nipple

The nfant® Tracker App uses your baby’s data to help you determine the best nipple flow rate. It even helps you predict when it may be time to change nipple flow rates, such as switching to a faster flow nipple.

Share data with medical professionals

You can share your baby’s feeding data with your pediatrician or other feeding specialists who may be working with you and your baby. If you choose to book a telehealth visit with one of our own lactation consultants or feeding experts, you can also share your baby’s data to enhance your experience.
