FAQs

How does the anti-colic function of this bottle work?

The MAM Easy Start Anti-Colic Bottle features a patented vented base with a silicone valve. This design ensures an even drinking flow and prevents the formation of air bubbles in the liquid, reducing the amount of air your baby swallows and thereby helping to prevent colic, gas, and burping.

Can I use boiling water to sterilise this bottle?

Yes, you can sterilise all components of the MAM Easy Start Anti-Colic bottle by boiling them in water for 5 minutes. Ensure there is enough water to cover all parts and prevent them from touching the bottom or sides of the pot to avoid damage.

How often should I replace the bottle teats?

It is recommended to replace bottle teats every 1-2 months for hygiene reasons and to ensure optimal performance. Always inspect teats before each use for signs of wear, tear, or damage, and replace them immediately if any are found.

Is the MAM Easy Start bottle dishwasher safe?

Yes, all components of the MAM Easy Start bottle are safe for cleaning on the top rack of a dishwasher. However, hand washing is often recommended for better longevity and to prevent clouding of the plastic over time.

What teat size comes with the 260ml bottle?

MAM Easy Start Anti-Colic Bottles typically come with a 'Size 1' (Slow Flow) or 'Size 2' (Medium Flow) teat, suitable for newborns and young infants. Always check the packaging for the exact teat size included. Different flow rate teats are available separately to suit your baby's age and feeding needs.

Can I use this bottle for expressed breast milk as well as formula?

Yes, the MAM Easy Start Anti-Colic Bottle is suitable for feeding both expressed breast milk and formula. Its design is intended to provide a comfortable feeding experience regardless of the liquid.

Troubleshooting

Bottle is leaking from the base.

Ensure the silicone valve is correctly placed and pressed firmly into the anti-colic base, and that the base is screwed on tightly to the bottle body. A loose or incorrectly assembled base is the most common cause of leaks.

Baby still seems gassy or colicky after feeding.

Check that the anti-colic base and valve are assembled correctly to allow proper airflow. Also, ensure the teat flow rate is appropriate for your baby's age and feeding pace. Slow down feeding if necessary and burp your baby frequently.

Bottle parts not fully sterilised after microwave self-sterilisation.

Confirm that you added exactly 20ml of water to the base and that your microwave's wattage matches the suggested heating time (3 minutes for 500-1000W). Ensure parts are arranged correctly to allow steam to circulate.

Teat collapses during feeding.

This can indicate that the vacuum inside the bottle is not being properly released. Check the anti-colic base and valve for proper assembly or blockages. It could also mean the baby is sucking too hard for the teat's flow rate, suggesting a need for a faster flow teat.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Reduces Colic Symptoms: The vented base effectively minimizes air bubbles, helping to alleviate discomfort for babies prone to colic.
  • Ultimate Convenience: Self-sterilising in a microwave saves time and eliminates the need for bulky sterilisation equipment.
  • High Teat Acceptance: The SkinSoft teat is widely accepted by infants, making transitions smoother.
  • Easy to Clean: Wide openings at both ends allow for thorough cleaning.

Cons

  • Assembly Required: Proper assembly of the multiple components (especially the base) is critical to prevent leaks and ensure the anti-colic function works correctly.
  • Specific Cleaning Care: While easy, it requires careful disassembly and reassembly, which might be less straightforward than single-piece bottles.
  • Microwave Dependency for Self-Sterilisation: Relies on microwave access for its most convenient sterilisation method.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup

  1. Disassemble: Before first use, disassemble all bottle components: teat, screw ring, bottle body, anti-colic base, and silicone valve.
  2. Clean: Wash all parts thoroughly with warm soapy water. Use a bottle brush for inside the bottle and teat.
  3. Sterilise: Sterilise all parts before first use (see 'Care' section below for self-sterilising instructions).
  4. Assemble:
  • Place the silicone valve firmly into the anti-colic base.
  • Screw the anti-colic base tightly onto the bottom of the bottle body.
  • Place the teat into the screw ring and pull through until secure.
  • Screw the teat and screw ring assembly onto the top of the bottle body.
  • Ensure all components are securely fastened to prevent leaks and ensure proper anti-colic function.

Compatibility

  • MAM Easy Start Anti-Colic Bottles are designed to be compatible with other MAM teats and bottle accessories (e.g., handles, sealing discs). Teat flow rates can be changed as your baby grows.
  • Info needed: Specific compatibility with other brands of bottle warmers or sterilizers.

Care

  • Cleaning: After each use, disassemble all parts and wash them thoroughly in warm soapy water. Rinse well. All components are suitable for cleaning on the top rack of a dishwasher, but hand washing is recommended to prolong product life and maintain clarity.
  • Self-Sterilisation (Microwave Method):
  1. Clean all bottle parts thoroughly.
  2. Pour 20ml (approx. 0.7 fl oz) of water into the anti-colic base.
  3. Place the teat assembly, bottle body, and screw ring upside down on the base.
  4. Place the protective cap over the top.
  5. Heat in the microwave for 3 minutes (500-1000W). Allow to cool for 10 minutes before handling.
  • Other Sterilisation Methods: Bottles can also be sterilised using electric steam sterilisation, cold water sterilisation solution, or boiling water (for 5 minutes).
  • Storage: Store all clean and sterilised bottle components in a dry, covered container. Do not store in direct sunlight or near a source of heat. Replace teats every 1-2 months, or sooner if they show signs of wear or damage.
