FAQs
How does the anti-colic feature of these bottles work?
The MAM Anti-Colic Bottles feature an innovative vented base with small holes. This design creates a balanced pressure system, allowing air to flow into the bottle from the bottom instead of being swallowed by your baby, which significantly reduces the intake of air and minimizes colic symptoms.
Can I use these bottles for expressed breast milk?
Yes, these bottles are ideal for expressed breast milk. The SkinSoftTM teat and the anti-colic design ensure a comfortable and familiar feeding experience for babies, making it easier to switch between breast and bottle.
What is the material of the SkinSoftTM teat?
The SkinSoftTM teat is made from high-quality, soft silicone. It is designed to feel like a mother's skin, which contributes to its high acceptance rate among babies.
How often should I replace the teats?
It is recommended to replace teats every 1-2 months for hygiene reasons, or sooner if you notice any signs of wear, tears, stickiness, or damage. Regularly inspect teats before each use.
Are these bottles dishwasher safe?
Yes, all components of the MAM Anti-Colic Bottles are dishwasher safe. For best results and to prevent discoloration, place them on the top rack of your dishwasher. Always ensure thorough cleaning, especially of the base components.
What flow rate teat is included with these 160ml bottles?
These 160ml MAM Anti-Colic Bottles typically come with a Slow Flow Teat, which is suitable for newborns and younger infants who prefer a slower, more controlled milk flow.
Troubleshooting
Bottle is leaking from the base or top.
Ensure all components of the bottle, including the vented base (silicone valve and base plug) and the screw ring/teat, are correctly and tightly assembled. Check for any damage or trapped particles that might prevent a proper seal.
Teat collapses or flattens during feeding.
This often indicates a vacuum forming due to the anti-colic ventilation system not functioning correctly. Check that the silicone valve in the base is clean and properly seated, allowing air to enter the bottle. Also, ensure the screw ring is not overtightened.
Self-sterilisation is not effective.
Verify that you have added the correct amount of water (20ml) and that your microwave wattage matches the recommended heating time (typically 3 minutes). Ensure all parts are thoroughly clean before sterilisation, as residue can prevent effective sterilisation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Disassembly: Before first use and after each feeding, completely disassemble all parts of the bottle: teat, screw ring, bottle body, and vented base (including the silicone valve and base plug).
Initial Cleaning: Wash all components thoroughly with warm soapy water. Rinse well.
Self-Sterilisation: For self-sterilisation, follow these steps:
Place the clean base plug into the bottle base.
Pour 20ml of water into the base.
Place the silicone valve on top of the water in the base.
Place the teat into the screw ring and loosely place it on the bottle body.
Place the assembled bottle body (with screw ring and teat) upside down onto the base.
Microwave for 3 minutes (check specific wattage instructions on packaging). Allow to cool completely before handling.
Assembly: Ensure all parts are completely dry. Assemble the base components (silicone valve, base plug) securely into the bottle base. Place the teat into the screw ring and firmly attach it to the bottle body. Ensure all parts are tightly sealed to prevent leaks and ensure proper anti-colic function.
Compatibility
MAM Anti-Colic Bottles are designed to be compatible with other MAM teats and bottle accessories (e.g., handles, sealing discs), allowing for customization as your baby grows.
The SkinSoftTM teat is specifically designed to facilitate compatibility for babies switching from breastfeeding.
Care
Cleaning: Wash all bottle parts by hand with warm soapy water or in the top rack of a dishwasher. Ensure all milk residue is removed, especially from the intricate parts of the vented base.
Sterilisation: In addition to the self-sterilisation feature, components can be sterilised using conventional steam sterilizers or boiling water (for 5 minutes).
Storage: Store cleaned and dry bottles in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight or heat.
Inspection: Regularly inspect all components, especially the teat, for any signs of wear, tears, or damage. Replace immediately if damage is found.
