4. Setup and Assembly
Before first use, disassemble all components and clean them thoroughly as described in the "Cleaning and Maintenance" section.
- Ensure all parts are clean and dry.
- Insert the silicone nipple into the cap ring from the top, pulling it through until it is securely seated.
- Fill the glass bottle with the desired amount of formula or breast milk.
- Screw the assembled cap ring and nipple onto the bottle until secure, but do not overtighten.
- Place the nipple cap over the nipple for hygienic storage or transport.
5. Operating Instructions
Feeding Your Baby
- Always check the temperature of the liquid before feeding your baby. A good method is to drip a small amount onto your wrist; it should feel lukewarm, not hot.
- The slow-flow nipple is designed for newborns up to three months old. Observe your baby's feeding pace and comfort.
- The Micro Air Vents in the nipple help prevent nipple collapse and promote a consistent flow, reducing air intake.
- Hold the bottle at an angle that keeps the nipple full of liquid to minimize air ingestion.
Storage
- Store clean, dry bottles in a hygienic place.
- When transporting filled bottles, ensure the nipple cap is securely in place to prevent leaks.
- Glass bottles retain heat and cold well, making them suitable for various temperature liquids.
6. Cleaning and Maintenance
Proper cleaning is essential for hygiene and extending the life of your Evenflo Classic Glass Bottles.
Before First Use and After Each Use
- Disassemble all bottle components: bottle, nipple, cap ring, and nipple cap.
- Wash all parts in warm, soapy water using a bottle brush for thorough cleaning. Rinse thoroughly.
- Alternatively, all components are dishwasher safe (top rack recommended).
- For sterilization, you can boil the components in water for 5 minutes or use a steam sterilizer. Ensure glass bottles do not touch the bottom of the pot during boiling to prevent cracking.
- Allow all parts to air dry completely before reassembling or storing.
Care Tips
- Glass bottles are resistant to staining and odors.
- Inspect nipples regularly for tears, cracks, or stickiness. Replace immediately if any damage is observed.
- Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that could scratch the glass or silicone.
7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Nipple collapses during feeding. | Insufficient air flow through micro-vents; baby's sucking strength too strong for nipple flow. | Ensure micro-vents are clear and not blocked. Check if nipple is properly seated in the cap ring. Consider transitioning to a faster flow nipple if your baby is older than 3 months or feeding seems labored. |
| Liquid flow is too slow or too fast. | Nipple flow rate not suitable for baby's age/needs; nipple clogged. | Ensure nipple is clean and free of clogs. Verify the nipple flow rate matches your baby's age and feeding style. Evenflo offers various nipple flow rates. |
| Bottle leaks. | Cap ring not tightened sufficiently; nipple not seated correctly; damaged nipple or cap ring. | Ensure cap ring is securely tightened (but not overtightened). Check that the nipple is fully pulled through and seated in the cap ring. Inspect all parts for damage and replace if necessary. |
| Glass bottle breaks. | Impact from dropping; sudden temperature change (thermal shock). | Handle glass bottles with care. Avoid dropping. Do not expose hot glass to cold water or vice versa immediately. Discard immediately if broken or cracked. |
