Leaking while feeding:

Nipple flow levels can be too fast or slow for baby. If the nipple flow level is too slow, baby will suck harder and harder to get more milk. This can push air into the vent, causing pressure to build up. That pressure may then push liquid out of the collar, causing leaking. Increasing the nipple flow level up to the next level may solve this issue.

Leaking while traveling:

Because the bottle works the way it does, it is an open system that allows liquid to drip out of the nipple when turned over. When the vent, collar and nipple are on, the bottle needs to remain upright. Placing a bottle cap over the nipple does not prevent liquid from coming out of the nipple when turned over.

• When traveling short distances like to daycare, keep the parts on, use the included Travel Disk and keep the bottle upright to help prevent leaking.
• When traveling longer distances, by plane, or when the bottle cannot remain upright, remove the vent, collar and nipple and screw on a Storage Travel Cap. The parts can be stored in a clean storage bag.

Leaking while preparing:

When warming a bottle or mixing formula by shaking when the parts are in, changes in pressure in the bottle may happen. This could cause leaking to occur out of the collar. When warming your bottles or shaking to mix formula, remove the parts and screw on a storage travel cap.

Some daycares do not allow any modifications to the bottle and will not remove the parts before warming. In this case, ask the daycare to loosen the collar before warming to help release pressure.

Milk and formula can build up in the bottle and can cause a slight odor. Here’s some things you can try:

• Odors: Odors may be removed by putting baking soda and warm water in the bottle and cleaning with a bottle brush. To get rid of stronger odors like a sour-milk smell, fill the bottle with warm water, add a teaspoon of baking soda, shake well, and let stand overnight.
• Stains and Cloudiness: Soak bottle in a 50/50 mixture of white vinegar and water, and then rinse with cold water, which can help remove stains and cloudiness as well as odors.
