FAQs
How does the anti-colic system work in these bottles?
The MAM Easy Start Anti-Colic bottles feature a ventilated base that prevents air from being swallowed during feeding. This reduces the vacuum inside the bottle, allowing for an even flow of milk and significantly less air intake, which helps to reduce colic symptoms.
Can I use these bottles straight from the box?
No, it is essential to wash and sterilize all bottle components thoroughly before their first use to ensure hygiene and safety for your baby.
What kind of teat is included with these bottles?
These bottles come with a MAM SkinSoft Silicone Teat, size 1, which is a slow-flow teat designed specifically for newborns.
Are these bottles safe for my baby?
Yes, MAM Easy Start Anti-Colic bottles are made from BPS (Bisphenol S) and BPA (Bisphenol A) free materials, ensuring they are safe for your baby's health.
How do I self-sterilize the bottles in the microwave?
Disassemble the clean bottle, pour 20ml of water into the base. Place the teat, collar, bottle body, and cap loosely on the base. Microwave for 3 minutes. Allow to cool before handling.
At what age is the 160ml bottle most suitable?
The 160ml (5oz) bottle with a slow-flow teat is most suitable for newborns and young infants up to approximately 2-3 months, or until their feeding volume increases significantly.
Can I put these bottles in the dishwasher?
Yes, all parts of the MAM Easy Start Anti-Colic bottle are dishwasher safe, preferably on the top rack. However, for thorough cleaning and to prolong their lifespan, hand washing is often recommended.
Troubleshooting
Baby still appears colicky after feeding.
Ensure all bottle parts, especially the vented base, are correctly assembled and clean. Check baby's feeding position and burping technique. Consult a healthcare professional if colic symptoms persist.
Bottle is not sterilizing properly in the microwave.
Confirm exactly 20ml of water is used in the base. Check your microwave's wattage and adjust sterilisation time if necessary (MAM recommends 3 minutes for 500-1000W). Ensure all components are loosely assembled to allow steam circulation.
Teat collapses during feeding or flow seems too slow.
Check the anti-colic valve in the base for any blockages or residue. Ensure the teat is properly positioned and not inverted. If the baby is older, they may require a faster flow MAM teat (sold separately).
Milk leaks from the bottle.
Verify that all components (base, bottle body, teat, collar, cap) are securely tightened and correctly aligned. Check rubber seal in the base for damage. Do not overfill beyond the maximum indicated level.
Pros and Cons

Extremely convenient self-sterilising feature for busy parents.
Teat's soft, skin-like texture is well-accepted by most babies.
Made from safe, BPS/BPA-free materials.
Compact 160ml size is perfect for newborn feeding.
Cons
The 160ml size may be outgrown quickly as baby's feeding volume increases, requiring larger bottles.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup
Before first use, disassemble all bottle parts. Wash thoroughly with warm soapy water.
Sterilize all components. You can use the self-sterilising feature (see below) or another preferred method.
Allow to air dry completely or dry with a clean cloth.
Assemble the bottle according to the instructions, ensuring all parts are securely fitted.
Compatibility
These bottles are designed for use with MAM Teats Size 1 (Slow Flow), which are included. Other MAM teats (e.g., faster flows) can be purchased separately and are compatible with these bottles.
Not typically compatible with teats or components from other bottle brands due to the unique anti-colic base design.
Care & Maintenance
Self-Sterilising: Disassemble the clean bottle. Fill the bottle base with 20ml of water. Place the teat and collar on the base, followed by the bottle body and cap (all loosely assembled for steam circulation). Heat in the microwave for 3 minutes (timing may vary based on microwave wattage). Allow to cool before handling.
Cleaning: All parts can be washed by hand with warm soapy water and a bottle brush. They are also suitable for the top rack of a dishwasher.
Storage: Store cleaned and dried bottles in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight or heat.
Replacement: Teats and other bottle components should be checked regularly for wear and tear and replaced if any damage or discoloration is noted. Info needed: [Specific recommendations for teat replacement frequency, if available from MAM].
