FAQs

What material is the MAM Silk Teat made from?

The MAM Silk Teat is made from a unique, ultra-soft silicone material that provides a familiar and natural feel, designed to mimic a mother's skin.

Are these bottles BPA-free?

All MAM products, including these feeding bottles, are made from BPA-free and BPS-free materials, ensuring your baby's safety. This is a standard for modern baby feeding products.

How often should I replace the bottle teats?

It's recommended to replace teats every 1-2 months for hygiene reasons, or sooner if you notice any signs of wear, stickiness, damage, or discoloration. Regular inspection is key, especially once your baby starts teething.

Can I put these bottles in the dishwasher?

While the bottles can typically be placed in the top rack of a dishwasher, it's generally recommended to hand-wash and sterilize for optimal hygiene and longevity, especially for teats, which can be damaged by harsh dishwasher detergents or high heat cycles. Always follow specific care instructions on the product packaging if available.

Are different flow rates available for the teats?

Yes, MAM offers various teats with different flow rates (e.g., slow, medium, fast, cross-cut) to suit your baby's age and feeding needs. The bottle comes with a teat suitable for 4+ months, but you can purchase other flow rates separately.

How do I know if the bottle is suitable for my baby?

The MAM 330ml bottle is designed for babies 4 months and older. Key indicators include your baby's ability to hold their head up well, increased hunger, and readiness for a larger feed volume. Always consult your pediatrician if you have concerns about your baby's feeding habits or bottle choice.

Troubleshooting

Bottle is leaking during feeding.

Ensure the teat is correctly inserted and securely sealed within the retaining ring. Double-check that the retaining ring is screwed tightly onto the bottle body. Avoid overfilling the bottle past the indicated maximum fill line.

Baby is refusing the bottle or struggling to feed.

Check the milk temperature; it should be lukewarm. Verify that the teat's flow rate is appropriate for your baby's age. Try different feeding positions. Sometimes, a calm, quiet environment can help. If transitioning from breast, let someone else offer the bottle initially.

Teat collapses during feeding.

This often indicates a vacuum build-up or blocked vent. Ensure the teat is correctly assembled and the vent (if applicable to your specific MAM teat design) is clear. Check for any damage or tears in the teat, and replace if necessary. Take short breaks during feeding to allow air to equalize.

Discoloration or residue inside the bottle.

Ensure bottles are thoroughly cleaned immediately after each feed. Use a bottle brush for hard-to-reach areas. For stubborn stains, try a vinegar soak (one part white vinegar to four parts water) for a few hours, then scrub and sterilize thoroughly. Always rinse well after any cleaning solutions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Proper setup, compatibility, and care are crucial for your baby's health and the longevity of your MAM bottles.

Initial Setup

  1. Disassemble All Parts: Before first use, separate the bottle body, teat, retaining ring, and cap.
  2. Clean Thoroughly: Wash all components in warm soapy water. Use a bottle brush to ensure all milk residue is removed.
  3. Sterilize: Sterilize all parts using one of the recommended methods (see 'Care' below). Follow the instructions for your specific sterilizer or boiling method.
  4. Assemble: Ensure all parts are completely dry. Place the teat into the retaining ring until it snaps securely into place. Screw the retaining ring firmly onto the bottle body. Add the cap.

Compatibility

  • Age: Suitable for babies 4 months and older. Always ensure the teat's flow rate matches your baby's age and feeding pace.
  • MAM Teats: Designed to be compatible with other MAM teats if you wish to change flow rates or styles. Ensure you select the correct size and type for your baby's developmental stage.

Care & Maintenance

  • Cleaning: Always clean bottles immediately after each use to prevent milk residue build-up. Use warm water and mild dish soap. Ensure the teat is cleaned inside and out.
  • Sterilization: Sterilize bottles before each use for babies under 6 months. After 6 months, thorough cleaning is often sufficient, but consult your pediatrician. Common sterilization methods include:
  • Boiling: Place all parts in boiling water for 5 minutes. Ensure they are fully submerged and do not touch the bottom or sides of the pot to prevent damage.
  • Steam Sterilizer: Follow the manufacturer's instructions for your electric or microwave steam sterilizer.
  • Cold Water Sterilization: Use sterilizing tablets or fluid as per their instructions.
  • Inspection: Regularly inspect teats for signs of wear, tears, or stickiness, especially after your baby has teeth. Replace immediately if any damage is found.
  • Storage: Store clean, dry bottles in a hygienic container or area, away from direct sunlight and heat.

> Important: Never use abrasive cleaning agents or solvents.
