Assembling the bottle

1. The teat is easier to assemble if you wriggle it upwards instead of pulling it up in a straight line.

2. Make sure you pull the teat through until its lower part is aligned with the screw ring.

3. Make sure you place the cap vertically onto the bottle so that the teat sits upright.

4. Screw the screw ring with teat and cap on the bottle.

5. To remove the cap, place your hand over the cap and your thumb in the dimple of the cap.

Heating breast milk

If you use frozen breast milk, let it defrost completely before you heat it.

Note: If you need to feed your baby quickly, you can defrost the milk in a bowl of hot water.

Heat the bottle with defrosted or refrigerated breast milk in a bowl of hot water or in a bottle warmer.

Remove the screw ring and sealing disc from the bottle.

Always stir or shake heated breast milk to ensure even heat distribution and test the temperature before serving.

Warning: It is not recommended to use a microwave to warm up breast milk.

Microwaves might alter the quality of breast milk and destroy some valuable nutrients and may produce localized high temperatures. If you heat up breast milk in the microwave, only place the container without screw ring, teat and cap in microwave.

Always stir heated breast milk to ensure even heat distribution and check the temperature before serving.
