FAQs
How do I clean the silicone-coated glass bottle?
Wash all parts (bottle, teat, cap) in warm, soapy water after each use. Use appropriate brushes for the bottle interior and teat. Rinse thoroughly. Dishwasher safe on the top rack if your dishwasher allows for glass items.
What is the benefit of the silicone coating?
The silicone coating provides a protective layer, making the glass bottle more durable, less prone to breakage from minor bumps, stain-resistant, and offers a comfortable, non-slip grip for parents.
How does the anti-colic system work?
The bottle features three anti-colic valves integrated into the teat and bottle design. These valves work together to draw air away from the milk and release it through the vent, preventing air bubbles from being ingested by the baby and reducing symptoms of colic and gas.
Can I use this bottle with other brands of sterilizers?
While the bottle is specifically designed for optimal use with the Nuby RapidSterilise+ UV Steriliser, it is also compatible with other standard sterilization methods such as boiling, steam sterilizers, and microwave sterilizers.
What age is this 270ml bottle suitable for?
The 270ml bottle is generally suitable for babies from 3 months onwards, depending on their feeding needs and the flow rate of the teat. Always check the recommended teat flow rate for your baby's age.
How often should I replace the teat?
It is recommended to inspect the teat regularly for signs of damage, such as tears, thinning, or swelling. Replace the teat immediately if any wear is visible, typically every 1-2 months of regular use, or sooner if signs of damage appear.
Troubleshooting
Baby seems gassy or fussy after feeding
Ensure the anti-colic valves are properly aligned and not blocked. Check that the teat is not collapsing during feeding. Try a different teat flow rate if available and appropriate for the baby's age.
Bottle is difficult to grip
Ensure the silicone sleeve is dry and correctly positioned. The coating is designed to provide grip, so check for any residue or moisture interfering with this.
Teat appears damaged or worn
Inspect the teat carefully for any signs of tearing, thinning, or swelling. Replace the teat immediately with a compatible Nuby teat if any damage is observed to prevent choking hazards.
Difficulty transitioning from breast to bottle
Ensure the baby's latch on the teat is similar to their latch on the breast. Try offering the bottle when the baby is calm, not overly hungry. Warm the teat slightly before offering.
