Full details
For parents seeking to minimize infant discomfort from colic, the MAM Anti-Colic Bottle offers an innovative solution with its ventilated base and self-sterilizing design. It aims to significantly reduce colic symptoms by limiting air intake during feeding, helping babies swallow less air and reducing colicky behaviors by up to 80%.

FAQs
How often should I sterilize the bottles?
It is recommended to sterilize all bottle components before each use, especially for newborns, to ensure optimal hygiene and safety.
What material are MAM Anti-Colic Bottles made from?
MAM Anti-Colic Bottles are made from safe, high-quality, BPA and BPS-free plastics. The teats are made from SkinSoft silicone.
Can I put the bottle parts in the dishwasher?
Yes, bottle components are generally top-rack dishwasher safe. However, hand washing is often recommended for more thorough cleaning and to prolong the lifespan of the components.
How do I know what teat size to use?
MAM teats are available in various flow rates (e.g., slow, medium, fast). The appropriate size depends on your baby's age and feeding preference. Consult MAM's teat flow guide for recommendations; these bottles typically come with a medium flow teat suitable for many infants.
Is it normal for air bubbles to form in the milk while my baby is drinking?
A few small bubbles might be visible as the anti-colic system works to replace the consumed liquid with air from the base, but large or excessive bubbles within the milk itself are not typical. If you see many bubbles in the milk, check that the base is correctly assembled and the ventilation holes are clear.
Can I use these bottles for purposes other than feeding?
These bottles are specifically designed for infant feeding. Do not use them for storing or transporting corrosive liquids or other non-food substances.
Troubleshooting
Bottle is leaking from the bottom.
Ensure the ventilated base is securely and evenly screwed onto the bottle body. Check that the silicone valve in the base is clean and flat, allowing for a tight seal. Make sure all parts are dry before assembly.
Teat collapses or suctions inwards during feeding.
This can happen if the air ventilation in the base is blocked or if the vacuum is not properly released. Disassemble the bottle, clean all parts thoroughly, especially the small holes in the ventilated base and the silicone valve, ensuring no milk residue is blocking the airflow. Reassemble carefully.
Self-sterilization in microwave is not effective or parts melt.
Ensure you add exactly 20ml of water to the base before microwaving. Use the correct wattage and time settings (typically 3 minutes for 500-1000W microwaves). Overheating or insufficient water can cause damage. Always follow the instructions provided on the packaging precisely.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Significantly Reduces Colic: The unique base ventilation system is highly effective in preventing air ingestion, leading to fewer colicky symptoms.
- Convenient Self-Sterilization: Microwave self-sterilization is a time-saver and eliminates the need for bulky sterilizing equipment, perfect for travel.
- Baby-Accepted Teat: The SkinSoft silicone teat is designed for high acceptance among infants.
- Easy to Clean: Wide openings and detachable parts allow for thorough cleaning of all surfaces.
Cons
- More Parts to Assemble/Clean: The multi-component design means more individual pieces to wash and reassemble compared to traditional bottles.
- Specific Sterilization Method: While convenient, the self-sterilization feature relies on microwave access, which may not always be available.
- Potential for Leaks if Not Assembled Correctly: Due to the screw-on base, precise assembly is crucial to prevent leaks.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
First-Time Use & Setup
- Disassemble: Carefully separate all parts of the bottle: cap, teat, screw ring, bottle body, and ventilated base.
- Clean: Wash all components thoroughly in warm soapy water. Use a bottle brush for comprehensive cleaning. Rinse well.
- Sterilize: For the first use, and before each subsequent use, sterilize all components. You can use the self-sterilizing feature (microwave method) or other standard sterilization methods like boiling or a steam sterilizer.
- Assemble: Ensure all parts are completely dry before assembly. Place the ventilated base securely onto the bottom of the bottle body. Insert the teat into the screw ring, pulling it through until it's secure. Screw the ring with the teat onto the top of the bottle body. Finally, place the cap on top.
Compatibility
- Formula & Breast Milk: Suitable for feeding both formula and expressed breast milk.
- Teat Flow Rates: MAM bottles are compatible with various MAM Teat flow rates (sold separately) allowing you to adjust as your baby grows.
- Bottle Warmers: Compatible with most standard bottle warmers. Always follow bottle warmer instructions for safe heating. Do not boil or excessively heat formula/milk.
Care & Maintenance
- Daily Cleaning: After each feed, disassemble all parts and wash thoroughly with warm soapy water. Rinse well. Residue can affect the anti-colic function.
- Sterilization: Sterilize bottles before each use, either via the self-sterilizing microwave method (20ml water, 3 mins) or a separate sterilizer.
- Inspect Regularly: Periodically inspect teats and bottles for signs of wear, tear, or damage. Replace any damaged components immediately.
- Storage: Store clean, dry bottles in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight or heat.
- Dishwasher Use: Bottle parts are generally top-rack dishwasher safe, but hand washing is recommended for longevity and thoroughness.
