Tommee Tippee Advanced Anti-Colic Baby Bottle - Pack of 3 - Slow Flow Teat

The anti-colic wand works by drawing air through a unique three-part vent system down to the base of the bottle and away from the milk. This process prevents air from mixing with the milk, which helps reduce air bubbles that can cause colic, gas, and discomfort in babies during feeding.

These bottles are specifically designed for use with Tommee Tippee Advanced Anti-Colic teats. While other Tommee Tippee teats might physically fit, they may not integrate with the anti-colic venting system as effectively, potentially compromising the anti-colic benefit.

To use the self-sterilising function, pour 30ml of water into the bottle. Place the disassembled teat, screw ring, cap, and anti-colic wand into the bottle. Place the bottle in a microwave for 3 minutes. Always allow it to cool before handling. Ensure your microwave is clean and safe for this use.

The 'slow flow' teat is generally suitable for newborns and babies aged 0+ months. It provides a controlled flow rate that mimics natural breastfeeding, which is ideal for younger babies learning to feed and to prevent them from being overwhelmed.

It is recommended to replace teats every 2-3 months, or sooner if they show any signs of wear, damage, stickiness, or enlargement of the hole. Regular inspection is key to ensuring optimal performance and hygiene.

Yes, all components of the Tommee Tippee Advanced Anti-Colic bottle are generally dishwasher safe (top rack only). However, for thorough cleaning, especially of the anti-colic wand, hand washing with a bottle brush is often recommended to ensure no milk residue remains.

Ensure all components, especially the teat and screw ring, are securely assembled and tightly screwed onto the bottle. Check that the silicone valve in the screw ring is correctly seated and the anti-colic wand is fully inserted into the base of the bottle. Make sure the small vents on the silicone valve are not blocked.

This often indicates a vacuum buildup. Check the anti-colic wand for any blockages and ensure the small vents on the silicone valve are clear. Ensure the wand is correctly assembled. Sometimes a faster flow teat is needed as the baby grows.

While these bottles significantly reduce air intake, some babies may still experience colic. Ensure your baby is in a good feeding position, and try burping more frequently. If symptoms persist, consult a healthcare professional. Also, ensure the anti-colic system is correctly assembled and clean.

Always add the specified 30ml of water to the bottle before microwaving. Ensure the microwave time is correct for your wattage (typically 3 minutes). Never microwave the bottle dry. Check the bottle and components for microwave safety markings. If parts are melting, your microwave may be too powerful or the time too long.

Use a specialized narrow bottle brush or a teat cleaning brush to thoroughly clean inside the anti-colic wand. Disassemble all parts before cleaning. Regular cleaning immediately after use prevents milk residue buildup.
