Switching from bottle back to breast has never been easier.
Features & Benefits
- Vented nipple: Helps avoid gassiness as the bottle is vented through our unique air-control system
- Mimics natural feeding behavior: Supports easy transition from bottle to breast. Research has shown that with Calma, your baby is able to maintain the learned feeding behavior that your baby exhibits when breastfeeding
- Flow control valve: Allows baby to control milk flow. Milk only flows when baby creates a vacuum
- Calma doesn't drip: You can turn Calma upside down and it still won't drip. Your baby needs to apply a certain level of vacuum in order to get milk out
- One size/shape nipple: For all stages of breast milk feeding. The flow, shape and length of Calma are designed to suit your baby's needs as your baby grows
- Made without BPA: All parts that come into contact with breast milk are not made with BPA

Introducing Calma: Designed exclusively for breast milk feeding.
Switching from bottle back to breast has never been easier. Calma was developed using evidence-based research on babies' natural feeding behavior so mothers and babies can enjoy their breastfeeding bond longer.
With Calma, the milk will only flow if the baby works and creates vacuum to remove the milk. This enables the feeding behavior learned at the breast to be used with Calma.

Can Calma be used with other manufacturer's bottles on the market?
Calma has been designed to be used with Medela's bottles and containers. We have not done testing on other manufacturer's containers. You may find that you can thread Calma onto other bottles but you may find that this combination may leak or cause other issues. We do not recommend using Calma with any other manufacturer containers.
Can Calma only be used with breast milk?
Calma has been designed to be exclusively used with breast milk and as such we cannot attest to Calma being used with other food.
Is Calma compatible with all Medela bottles/containers?
Calma is compatible with all Medela containers, including the Colostrum containers, 80 ml, 5 oz and 8 oz bottles.
Does Calma require any special cleaning?
Cleaning & Care
Prior to first use and after each use:
Disassembly
- Remove Calma from bottle by turning counter clockwise.
- Press base down.
- Lift nipple from top and remove silicone nipple.
Cleaning
It is important to clean Calma after every feed:
- Rinse all separated parts in cool water to remove breastmilk.
- Wash all separated parts in warm, soapy water.*
- Rinse all separated parts with clear water.
- Allow all separated parts to air dry in a clean area.
Note: You can also wash all separated parts on top rack of dishwasher.
*It is not recommended to use a bottle brush with Calma.
CAUTION: Do not leave feeding parts in direct sunlight or heat, as this may weaken or damage parts.
Sanitizing
- In addition to cleaning, Calma can be sanitized once per day by boiling:
- Separate all parts.
- Choose a pot that is large enough so parts. DO NOT rest on the sides or bottom while boiling.
- Fill the pot with water and bring to a boil.
- Carefully drop parts into boiling water, and boil for 10 minutes.
- Gently remove parts from water with tongs and place on a clean surface.
- Allow all separated parts to air dry in a clean area.
Medela’s Quick Clean™ Micro-Steam™ bag can be used as an alternate to boiling. To locate a Medela retailer visit www.breastfeedingnationalnetwork.com.
Storing Parts
Make sure all parts are completely dry before storing. When parts are not in use, put in clean plastic bag or store in a container with a lid. Alternatively, the parts can be wrapped in clean paper or cloth towel. Do NOT store wet or damp parts.
Why is Calma available in only 1 size?
Multiple nipple sizes are not required as the baby controls the flow of milk through vacuum. The baby will apply more or less vacuum to Calma as its need for milk changes throughout breastfeeding duration.
