The bottles are single walled and for good reason!
All you really want to do is ‘take any chill’ off the bottle. You need to bring it to body temperature and with the single wall, you can do this quickly and easily, by the standing the bottle in boiled water for 8 seconds.
The bottle has been specially designed to conduct heat far more effectively than plastic. Once it reaches its warmed temperature it will stay there longer also.
The stainless steel is the most effective conductor of heat - the bottle itself will be a great temperature gauge for its contents.
Too hot for baby to hold means too hot for baby to drink! The contents of the bottle should be body temperature. Hold the bottle to your wrist to test the temperature, or drop some contents from the bottle onto your wrist.
Yes food grade silcone - it is supplied with a medium flow (3m+) anti-colic teat.
The advantage of the collar is that it suits all wide neck teats, so you're able to use any wide neck teat you prefer that is available on the market.
The Collar is made from a PP plastic and has been tested to be BPA FREE
This was a decision that we didn’t take lightly. It is a known design principle that a softer material (BPA free plastic) must screw onto a harder one (steel) in order to make it completely watertight. If we went steel on steel you would likely curse the level of leakage that occurs, and shy away from the bottle.
Yes - The lid is made from the same material as the collar and fits onto the bottle for the baby to hold. There are also measurements inside the lid to measure formula or water etc.
The bottle comes complete with the stainless steel bottle, collar, teat and lid (that fits onto bottle). The Storage Cap (to convert the bottle into a puree pot or storage container) is available as an extra accessory if required.
Our smallest bottle holds to 210ml to the neck. So you could fill water to180ml then room for a formula scoop ontop.
Our largest bottles have a measuring window and can measure to 250ml and hold 350ml to the neck.
A microwave oven should not be used to thaw or heat formula or Expressed Breast Milk (EBM) as this can destroy some of the nutrients in breast milk. Be careful not to overheat or boil EBM also.
Our 210ml and 400ml bottles can be sterilised by boiling, steam sterilising or UV sterilising. Click to here view our video with step by step tips on how to sterilise our 210ml bottles.
Our 350ml window bottles have a clear measuring window so require more care. They are top rack dishwasher safe and can be sterilised using a UV steriliser.
