The MAM Easy Start Anti-Colic Bottle is engineered to provide a comfortable and fuss-free feeding experience, directly addressing common infant feeding challenges. Its core innovation, the vented base, actively works during feeding by allowing air to enter the bottle from the bottom, rather than through the teat. This process ensures a consistent, smooth milk flow without air bubbles mixing with the milk, which is the primary mechanism for reducing swallowed air and subsequently, colic and regurgitation. Parents often notice a calmer baby during and after feeds, with less fussiness associated with gas.
The SkinSoftâ„¢ teat is a standout feature for its ability to mimic the mother's breast, offering a texture and shape that most babies readily accept. This is particularly beneficial for combination feeding, where babies switch between breastfeeding and bottle feeding. The teat's design helps maintain the natural sucking reflex, making transitions smoother for both baby and parent.
For busy parents, the self-sterilising function is a game-changer. Imagine you're traveling or just need a quick clean bottle; you simply disassemble the bottle, fill the base with water, place the teat and bottle parts on top, and microwave for three minutes. This eliminates the need for bulky sterilisation equipment, making it incredibly practical for daily use and adventures.
Constructed from BPS and BPA-free materials, these bottles are not only safe but also durable and resistant to odours. They withstand repeated sterilisation cycles and everyday handling, maintaining their integrity over time. The 320ml capacity makes them ideal for growing infants who require larger meal sizes, reducing the frequency of refills during a feed.
Disassemble: Before first use and after each feed, completely disassemble the bottle into all its individual parts: cap, teat, screw ring, bottle body, vented base, and silicone valve.
Clean Thoroughly: Wash all components in warm soapy water. Use a soft brush or sponge to clean inside the bottle and teat. Ensure no milk residue remains. Rinse thoroughly.
Sterilise: For first use, sterilise all parts using one of the recommended methods:
Self-Sterilisation (Microwave): Add 20ml of water to the vented base, place the teat and bottle body on top, then place the cap loosely. Microwave for 3 minutes (timing may vary with wattage).
Boiling: Place all parts in boiling water for 5 minutes.
Steam Steriliser: Use a dedicated electric steam steriliser according to its instructions.
Assemble Correctly: Allow parts to cool and dry. When assembling, ensure the silicone valve in the vented base is seated correctly and the base is screwed on tightly to prevent leaks. The teat should be pulled through the screw ring until securely fitted.
Teats: MAM Easy Start Anti-Colic bottles are designed to be used exclusively with MAM teats. Various flow rates are available separately to suit your baby's developmental stage.
Other MAM Products: Many MAM accessories, such as handles or sealing discs, are compatible with these bottles.
Regular Cleaning: Clean all bottle parts immediately after each use to prevent milk residue buildup.
Dishwasher Safe: All components are dishwasher safe (top rack only). However, handwashing is often recommended for longevity and thoroughness.
Inspect Regularly: Before each use, inspect the teat for any signs of wear, tear, or stickiness. Replace damaged teats immediately. Check the silicone valve in the base for tears or blockages.
Storage: Store cleaned and sterilised bottles in a dry, covered container. Keep teats out of direct sunlight or heat, and away from disinfectants when not in use.
