Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature Baby Bottles - Breast-Like Teat - Anti-Colic Valve - 340ml - Pack of 4

It is recommended to inspect bottle teats regularly for signs of wear, tear, or damage. For hygiene and safety, it's generally advised to replace teats every 1 to 2 months, or sooner if they appear damaged, sticky, or discolored.

Yes, these bottles are designed to be compatible with microwave steam sterilizers. Always follow the sterilizer's specific instructions, ensuring bottles are placed correctly and water levels are accurate.

While the bottles themselves are durable, freezing milk in them is generally not recommended as plastic can become brittle when frozen. It's best to use dedicated milk storage bags or containers for freezing breast milk or formula.

BPA-free means the bottles are manufactured without Bisphenol A, a chemical that has been historically used in some plastics and resins. Using BPA-free products ensures that no BPA leaches into your baby's milk, promoting better health and safety.

To ensure the anti-colic valve works effectively, always clean it thoroughly after each use to prevent milk residue buildup. When assembling, make sure the valve is pulled through the screw ring correctly and not squashed or blocked, allowing air to flow freely.

These bottles are primarily designed for milk or formula. While they can hold water, it's best to avoid highly acidic juices or other liquids that could potentially degrade the plastic or teat over time. Always clean thoroughly after use regardless of contents.

Ensure the screw ring is tightened securely onto the bottle, but not overtightened. Check that the silicone teat is pulled through the screw ring correctly and the anti-colic valve is properly seated and not pinched. Inspect the teat for any tears or damage.

Ensure the teat is positioned correctly in the baby's mouth, with lips flanged around the wide base. Gently encourage the baby to open wide. Check the teat for any blockages or deformities. Sometimes, adjusting the baby's feeding position can also help.

Confirm that the anti-colic valve inside the bottle is clean and not blocked, allowing air to vent freely. Ensure the teat's flow rate is appropriate for your baby's age and feeding pace. Burp your baby frequently during and after feeds. If symptoms persist, consult a healthcare professional.

This can sometimes happen due to mineral deposits from water or residues from milk or detergent. Ensure thorough rinsing after washing. For stubborn cloudiness, try soaking in a solution of equal parts white vinegar and water, then scrub and rinse well.

A collapsing teat can indicate that the anti-colic valve is blocked or not functioning correctly, preventing air from entering the bottle as milk is drawn out. Check the valve for blockages and ensure it is clean. Alternatively, the teat's flow rate might be too slow for your baby's feeding strength, or it might be time to replace the teat.
