How do I clean Ventaire™ bottles?
As with all infant feeding products, clean as soon as possible after each use.
- Wash in the top rack of dishwasher on dry cycle or hand wash with hot, soapy water for about one minute.
- Be sure to disassemble all parts of your VentAire™ Advanced bottle prior to washing.
- Remove all parts by removing the vent from the vent ring and the nipple from the nipple ring.
- Dry thoroughly.
- VentAire™ bottles and hoods are made of clarified polypropylene.
- VentAire Advanced Crystal Clear™ bottles are made of co-polyester, clear plastic material.
- Nipples and vent disks are made of silicone, and the rings and bottom vent are made of polypropylene.
When using Ventaire® bottles, does the vent need to be removed while feeding?
No, the vent should always remain in the bottle while feeding. The uniquely designed vent is an integral part of the VentAire® bottle system. It is the mechanism that allows the bottle to vent air and eliminate pressure that makes feeding difficult. Without properly installing the vent, milk will drain from the bottom of the bottle.
Can I use a bottle warmer?
Using a bottle warmer should be okay as long as you follow the manufacturer’s instructions. However, since our bottles have not been tested with all bottle warmers, we cannot guarantee the integrity using this method of warming. For best results, we recommend following the instructions on our product insert.
How do I heat the formula?
You can heat formula by placing bottle in a container of warm water for several minutes with the cap off the bottle. Do not heat in boiling water. Always remove cap before warming in container. Or, warm liquid in a separate container and cool lukewarm (at least 15 minutes if boiled) before pouring into bottle.
Can I use another brand’s nipples with these bottles?
We don’t recommend using a competitor’s nipples, since we cannot guarantee that they will work effectively due to the unique venting system of our bottles.
