Notes before buying

• Some babies used to other brands take time to adapt (Mother&Baby).
• Pick teat flow to suit your baby; other flow rates are sold separately.

Care and use

• Self-sterilise: add 50 ml of water to the dotted line, rest the lid, ring and teat on top without fastening, microwave 3 minutes (700–1000 W).
• Check the teat before each use and replace it at any sign of damage.
