Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Disassembly: Before first use, disassemble all bottle components: bottle, teat, screw ring, and cap.
- Initial Cleaning: Wash all components thoroughly in warm soapy water. Use a bottle brush for the bottle and a small teat brush for the teat. Rinse well.
- Sterilisation: Sterilise all components using your preferred method (boiling, steam steriliser, UV steriliser, or the bottle's self-sterilisation feature).
- Self-Sterilisation (Microwave): Pour 50ml of water into the bottle. Place the teat and screw ring inside the bottle, then place the bottle cap loosely on top. Microwave for 3 minutes. Allow to cool before handling.
- Assembly: Carefully assemble the bottle, ensuring the teat is pulled through the screw ring correctly and the screw ring is tightly fastened onto the bottle.
Compatibility
These bottles are designed to reduce nipple confusion, making them highly compatible for babies transitioning between breastfeeding and bottle feeding. The 260ml size is suitable for growing babies, but various flow teats (sold separately) can be used to adjust to your baby's feeding needs.
Care
- Daily Cleaning: After each feed, wash all parts in warm soapy water and rinse thoroughly. They are generally dishwasher safe (top rack only), but hand washing is recommended for longevity.
- Sterilisation: Sterilise bottles after every use to maintain hygiene and safety.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect teats for signs of wear, tears, or stickiness. Replace teats every 2-3 months, or sooner if damaged.
- Storage: Store assembled bottles upright or with caps securely in place. Avoid direct sunlight or heat to prevent degradation.
