FAQs
What age are these bottles suitable for?
These bottles feature an anti-colic design suitable for babies 'from the very first day'. The included fast-flow teat is ideal for 'older babies with bigger appetites'. For newborns or younger infants, slower flow teats are available separately and are compatible with these bottles.
How do I self-sterilise the MAM Easy Start bottle?
To self-sterilise, disassemble and wash all bottle parts. Pour 20ml of water into the anti-colic base. Reassemble the bottle with the teat and screw ring, but place the cap loosely on top (do not screw it on tight). Microwave for 3 minutes (at 500-1000W). Let it cool before handling.
Are the bottles BPS and BPA free?
Yes, all MAM Easy Start Anti-Colic bottles are made from completely BPS and BPA free materials, ensuring they are safe for your baby's health.
Can I use different flow teats with this bottle?
Yes, MAM Easy Start Anti-Colic bottles are compatible with all MAM teats. You can purchase different flow rates (slow, medium, fast, cross-cut) separately to best suit your baby's feeding needs as they grow.
How often should I replace the bottle teats?
For hygiene and safety, it is recommended to replace teats every 1-2 months, or sooner if you notice any signs of wear, damage, discolouration, or stickiness. Always check the teat before each use.
Can these bottles be washed in a dishwasher?
Yes, all components of the MAM Easy Start Anti-Colic bottle are safe for the top rack of a dishwasher. However, for best results and to prolong their lifespan, hand washing with warm soapy water is often recommended.
Troubleshooting
Bottle is leaking during feeding.
Ensure all components, especially the anti-colic base and the screw ring holding the teat, are assembled correctly and tightened securely. Check that the silicone valve in the base is properly seated and not pinched.
Teat collapses during feeding or flow seems too slow.
Check that the ventilation hole on the anti-colic base is clear and not blocked. Also, ensure the teat is clean and not clogged. If your baby is older or has a stronger suck, you may need a faster flow teat (available separately) for their developmental stage.
Bottle doesn't seem to sterilise properly in the microwave.
Ensure you are using exactly 20ml of water in the anti-colic base and that the cap is loosely placed, not fully tightened, to allow steam to escape. Verify your microwave's wattage and adjust heating time accordingly (e.g., lower wattage might require slightly longer). Also, ensure all parts are thoroughly cleaned before sterilisation.
Baby refuses the teat.
The SkinSoft teat is designed for high acceptance, but some babies might take time to adjust. Try offering the bottle when your baby is calm and not overly hungry. Ensure the milk temperature is correct. If refusal persists, you might try a different teat shape or flow rate (MAM offers various options) to see if that helps.
