Training Grips for Medela Baby Bottles

thingiverse

These two grip rings securely attach to a 5oz Medela baby bottle, enabling tiny hands to confidently grasp and manipulate the vessel with ease. One simply slides onto the bottle, while the other clicks firmly under the lid for a snug fit. The grip ring that secures under the lid features ingenious crush tabs on top, ensuring a seamless attachment regardless of printing accuracy, as well as built-in supports for added convenience. It is crucial to print these grips using food-safe materials since they will inevitably come into contact with your baby's mouth, even if the primary intention is not for chewing. Utilizing heat-resistant filaments like "t-glase" (a type of PETT), which can withstand exposure to moisture and sterilization processes, would be a practical option. Nonetheless, it remains essential to closely monitor your baby while they use this product, taking into account that their developing grasping abilities might potentially surpass your 3D printing skills, thus necessitating vigilance.
