Usage Tips
- Change Nipple Levels: As your baby grows and their feeding needs change, you may need to change the level of the nipple. Follow the general guideline below to determine when to switch your baby's nipple level.
-
Preemie Nipple (0m+): For premature or breastfeeding babies who prefer a slow flow.
-
Level 1 Nipple (0m+): A great starting point for many babies, suitable for babies who are feeding well and showing no signs of feeding challenges.
-
Level 2 Nipple (3m+): Consider switching to a Level 2 nipple if your baby is accepting early solid foods, or if their pediatrician has recommended thickening their milk.
-
Level 3 Nipple (6m+): As your baby's feeding develops and they are taking longer time feeding from a Level 2 nipple, many parents choose to move up to a Level 3 nipple.
-
Level 4 Nipple (9m+): Appropriate if your child has shown consistent feeding skills with no difficulties, and is taking larger amounts at the breast and bottle.
-
Y-Cut Nipple (9m+): Consider using the Y-Cut nipple if your pediatrician has recommended thickening your baby’s milk.
-
Cleanliness: Regularly clean your baby's bottles and nipples using a gentle detergent and warm water, making sure to sanitize the holes to prevent any build-up.
-
Consistency: Keep a few extra nipples in your stash so that you always have a clean, ready-to-use nipple available, especially during those busy feeding times.
