Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Inspect: Before first use and after each use, inspect the teat for any tears, cracks, or signs of wear. Replace immediately if damaged.
- Attach: Place the teat into the screw ring. Gently pull the teat through until it is securely seated.
- Assemble: Screw the assembled teat and ring onto your Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature baby bottle. Ensure it is tightly fastened to prevent leaks.
- Positioning: When feeding, ensure the anti-colic valve on the side of the teat is facing upwards, allowing air to escape effectively.
Compatibility
These teats are specifically designed for use with Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature baby bottles. They are not compatible with Tommee Tippee Advanced Anti-Colic bottles or other bottle brands.

- Boiling: Boil in water for 5 minutes.
- Steam Sterilizer: Use a suitable electric or microwave steam sterilizer.

- Storage: Store all components in a dry, covered container. Do not store in direct sunlight or near a source of heat. Do not allow to come into contact with solvents or harsh chemicals.
