FAQs

How does the anti-colic feature of the MAM bottle work?

The MAM Anti-Colic bottle features a vented base that allows air to enter the bottle from the bottom, preventing a vacuum from forming. This ensures a smooth, continuous flow of milk, which means your baby swallows less air, significantly reducing colic, gas, and burping.

Can I use teats from other brands with this MAM bottle?

No, MAM Easy Start Anti-Colic Bottles are specifically designed to work with MAM teats for optimal fit and anti-colic performance. Using teats from other brands may lead to leaks or compromise the bottle's functionality.

How often should I replace the bottle teats?

Teats should be regularly inspected for signs of wear and tear, such as tears, stickiness, or swelling. For hygiene and safety, it's generally recommended to replace teats every 1-2 months, or immediately if any damage is visible.

Is this bottle suitable for breastfed babies or combination feeding?

Many parents find the MAM SkinSoft teat, with its silky-soft silicone surface and unique flat shape, is well-accepted by breastfed babies and is often recommended for combination feeding as it mimics the feel of a mother's breast.

Can I put the MAM Easy Start Anti-Colic bottle in the dishwasher?

Yes, all parts of the MAM Easy Start Anti-Colic bottle are dishwasher safe. For best results and to prevent cloudiness, place them on the top rack of the dishwasher and ensure they are thoroughly rinsed before washing.

What is the correct amount of water to use for microwave self-sterilization?

For effective microwave self-sterilization, you should add exactly 20ml of water to the vented base of the bottle. Adding too little or too much water can affect the sterilization process.

How do I know when my baby needs a different teat flow?

Signs that your baby might need a faster flow teat include prolonged feeding times, the teat collapsing during feeding, your baby becoming frustrated or falling asleep during a feed due to the effort of sucking, or increased fussiness.

Troubleshooting

Leaking from the bottom of the bottle.

Ensure the silicone valve in the base is correctly seated and the base is screwed on tightly and straight. Check for any damage or misalignment of the base components.

Teat collapses or suctions during feeding.

Check that the ventilation hole in the base is clear and not blocked. Ensure the teat is inserted correctly into the screw ring. Consider if your baby might need a faster flow teat if they are sucking very strongly.

Bottle does not self-sterilize effectively in the microwave.

Verify that exactly 20ml of water is added to the base. Ensure the microwave power setting and time (3 minutes at 500-1000W) are correct. All parts must be disassembled and placed correctly for steam to circulate.

Milk flow seems too fast or too slow.

Verify the teat size (indicated by numbers on the teat) matches your baby's age and feeding stage. A slower flow may be needed for newborns, while older babies require a faster flow. Check the teat for any blockages.

Cloudiness or residue on bottle parts after washing.

This can be due to hard water or incomplete cleaning. Ensure all milk residue is removed with a bottle brush. Consider using distilled water for rinsing or a specialized bottle cleaner. Allow to air dry completely.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly Reduces Colic & Gas: The vented design is highly effective in minimizing air intake during feeding, leading to less discomfort for the baby.
  • Convenient Self-Sterilization: The microwave self-sterilizing feature is a time-saver and eliminates the need for a separate sterilizer.
  • High Teat Acceptance: The SkinSoft teat is widely accepted by babies, making the transition to bottle feeding smoother.
  • Easy to Clean: The wide neck and removable base allow for complete access to all parts, ensuring thorough cleaning.

Cons

  • Multiple Components: The multi-part design (bottle, base, teat, collar, cap) can be time-consuming to assemble and disassemble, especially when washing several bottles.
  • Requires Precise Assembly: Incorrect assembly of the base or teat can lead to leaks, requiring careful attention during setup.
  • Drying Time: Due to multiple separate parts, drying can take longer, potentially requiring more drying rack space.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Initial Setup

  1. Disassemble: Before first use, completely disassemble the bottle into all its components: bottle body, base, silicone valve, teat, screw ring, and cap.
  2. Wash: Wash all parts thoroughly in warm, soapy water. Use a bottle brush to ensure all milk residue is removed, especially from the base and teat.
  3. Rinse: Rinse all components thoroughly with clean, cold water.
  4. Sterilize: Sterilize all parts before first use (see 'Care & Sterilization' below).
  5. Assemble: Ensure all parts are completely dry before assembly. Place the silicone valve into the base, then twist the base securely onto the bottle. Insert the teat into the screw ring and twist the screw ring onto the bottle neck. Finally, place the cap on top.

Care & Sterilization

  • Daily Cleaning: After each feed, disassemble all parts and wash them immediately in warm, soapy water to prevent milk residue buildup. Rinse thoroughly.
  • Self-Sterilizing in Microwave: For quick sterilization:
  1. Disassemble the bottle.
  2. Place the base, bottle body, screw ring with teat, and cap into the bottle body (upside down).
  3. Add exactly 20ml of water to the vented base.
  4. Place the cap loosely on top of the bottle (do not seal).
  5. Microwave for 3 minutes (at 500-1000W). Allow to cool for 10 minutes before handling.
  • Dishwasher Safe: All parts are dishwasher safe (top rack only). However, hand washing is often recommended for best results and to prolong product life.
  • Drying: Allow parts to air dry completely on a clean drying rack or use a clean, lint-free cloth. Do not dry in direct sunlight or near heat sources.

Compatibility

  • Teats: MAM Easy Start Anti-Colic Bottles are designed to be used with MAM teats only. MAM offers various flow rates (slow, medium, fast, cross-cut) to suit your baby's needs as they grow.
  • Bottle Warmers: These bottles are compatible with most standard electric bottle warmers. Always follow the warmer's instructions and ensure the bottle is not overheated.
  • Sterilizers: While they feature self-sterilization, the bottles can also be sterilized using electric steam sterilizers or boiling water, if preferred. Follow the sterilizer's instructions carefully.
