Troubleshooting
Bottle is leaking.
Ensure the venting system is correctly assembled and the collar is screwed on tightly. Check that the silicone valve is properly attached to the vent tube and that the vent tube is seated correctly in the collar.
Baby is still experiencing colic or wind.
Verify that the anti-colic vent is fully functional and free from blockages. Ensure the baby is latched onto the teat correctly, covering the entire teat with their mouth. Try a different teat flow rate if feeding seems too fast or slow.
Milk flow is too fast or too slow.
Check if the correct teat flow rate is being used for your baby's age and feeding stage. Ensure the venting system is clear and functioning properly, as this affects the vacuum release and milk flow.
