The MAM Easy Start Anti-Colic Bottle excels in its primary function of reducing colic symptoms. The unique vented base regulates the air pressure inside the bottle, allowing babies to drink calmly without gulping air. This can significantly reduce instances of gas, burping, and fussiness after feeds.
In practical use, the self-sterilising feature is a major time-saver. By simply adding water to the base, placing the components inside, and microwaving, parents can sterilise a bottle in minutes, ideal for busy schedules or travel. The SkinSoft teat, mimicking a mother's nipple, often leads to quick acceptance, making feeding times less stressful for both baby and parent.
For best results, always ensure the anti-colic base and silicone valve are securely fitted before filling. Observe your baby during feeding; if they seem to struggle or gulp air, double-check the assembly and teat flow rate. Regular cleaning of all parts is essential to maintain hygiene and ensure proper function of the anti-colic system.
Disassemble: Before first use, disassemble all bottle components: teat, screw ring, bottle body, anti-colic base, and silicone valve.
Clean: Wash all parts thoroughly with warm soapy water. Use a bottle brush for inside the bottle and teat.
Sterilise: Sterilise all parts before first use (see 'Care' section below for self-sterilising instructions).
Assemble:
Place the silicone valve firmly into the anti-colic base.
Screw the anti-colic base tightly onto the bottom of the bottle body.
Place the teat into the screw ring and pull through until secure.
Screw the teat and screw ring assembly onto the top of the bottle body.
Ensure all components are securely fastened to prevent leaks and ensure proper anti-colic function.
MAM Easy Start Anti-Colic Bottles are designed to be compatible with other MAM teats and bottle accessories (e.g., handles, sealing discs). Teat flow rates can be changed as your baby grows.
Info needed: Specific compatibility with other brands of bottle warmers or sterilizers.
Cleaning: After each use, disassemble all parts and wash them thoroughly in warm soapy water. Rinse well. All components are suitable for cleaning on the top rack of a dishwasher, but hand washing is recommended to prolong product life and maintain clarity.
Self-Sterilisation (Microwave Method):
Clean all bottle parts thoroughly.
Pour 20ml (approx. 0.7 fl oz) of water into the anti-colic base.
Place the teat assembly, bottle body, and screw ring upside down on the base.
Place the protective cap over the top.
Heat in the microwave for 3 minutes (500-1000W). Allow to cool for 10 minutes before handling.
Other Sterilisation Methods: Bottles can also be sterilised using electric steam sterilisation, cold water sterilisation solution, or boiling water (for 5 minutes).
Storage: Store all clean and sterilised bottle components in a dry, covered container. Do not store in direct sunlight or near a source of heat. Replace teats every 1-2 months, or sooner if they show signs of wear or damage.
