Use & Care Instructions for HEVEA Wide Neck Baby Glass Bottles, Nipples, Caps, & Sleeves
EASY USE
HEVEA Wide Neck Baby Bottles are especially easy to use with formula due to their wide rim, but are also suitable for use with breast milk, milk, and water.
Both the nipple and cap attach easily and are leak-proof. Just place over the neck of the bottle, and stretch to attach.
If your bottle has a natural rubber sleeve, these are easy to put on and take off! Turn inside out. Fit over the base of the bottle, pull up and over the bottle, stretching the rubber as needed to fit over the rim, until it falls into place snugly around the bottle.
There are gradations on the feeding bottle, but if more accurate measurements are needed, please use a measuring cup or spoon.
When shaken, the pressure inside the bottle may go up and cause leakage or spraying-up because of the high temperature of the liquid inside.
Depending on your baby’s age and temperature needs, you can warm the contents for the baby by sitting the bottle in hot water or using a bottle warmer (be sure to check manufacturer’s recommendations on heating glass bottles). Afterwards, cool down by placing the baby bottle in a bowl of cool water. Always check the temperature of the liquid for safe levels prior to feeding it to your baby. We do not recommend heating in a microwave as they heat at uneven temperatures and even if you test the milk’s temperature prior to feeding your baby, the temperature might vary and cause scalding.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS - NATURAL RUBBER NIPPLES & CAPS
Sterilize the nipple and cap by placing it in a bowl and submerging it in boiled water for five minutes. Dry, ensuring all water is out of the teat, and store until ready to use again. Since nipples are made from natural materials, do not leave in direct sun for extended periods of time.
When bottle feeding babies up to 3 months, sterilize the nipple after each use with the above method. Once babies are over 3 months, you need only sterilize the nipple in this way after every few uses.
Be sure to keep nipples rinsed with warm water and dried in between uses.
For hygienic and safety purposes, nipples should always be replaced after 6-8 weeks of use. Always check the nipple for tear and wear by pulling the nipple in all directions. Replace if any wear or tear is evident. Replacement natural rubber nipples in slow and medium flow can also be purchased and used on all HEVEA Standard Neck Bottles.
Used nipples are compostable and will biodegrade naturally.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS - NATURAL RUBBER SLEEVE
For the sleeves, simply clean in warm soapy water, rinse, and let dry.
