Lansinoh Momma Breastmilk Feeding Bottle

1. Introduction and Overview

The Lansinoh Momma Breastmilk Feeding Bottle is specifically designed to support established breastfeeding patterns. Its NaturalWave Nipple is clinically proven to reduce nipple confusion, allowing for a smooth transition between breast and bottle. This 5-ounce bottle is ergonomically shaped for comfortable holding and features Lansinoh's Air Ventilation System (AVS) to help reduce gas intake, a potential cause of colic and spit-up. All components are BPA and BPS free.

2. Product Components

The Lansinoh Momma Breastmilk Feeding Bottle consists of the following parts:

• Bottle Body: 5-ounce capacity, made from BPA/BPS-free plastic, with measurement markings.
• NaturalWave Nipple: Slow flow, designed to encourage natural sucking action.
• Collar: Secures the nipple to the bottle body.
• Protective Cap: Covers the nipple for hygiene and prevents leaks during transport.

3. Setup and Assembly

Before first use, disassemble all parts and clean thoroughly. Sterilize all components by boiling for 5 minutes or using a sterilizer.

1. Insert the NaturalWave Nipple into the Collar from underneath, pulling it through until it is securely seated.
2. Screw the assembled Nipple and Collar onto the Bottle Body until snug. Do not overtighten.
3. Fill the bottle with breastmilk or formula.
4. Place the Protective Cap over the nipple for storage or transport.

4. Operating Instructions (Feeding)

The NaturalWave Nipple is designed to allow your baby to use the same natural sucking actions learned at the breast. This helps maintain established breastfeeding patterns.

1. Ensure the bottle is clean and properly assembled.
2. Fill the bottle with the desired amount of breastmilk or formula. Ensure the liquid is at an appropriate feeding temperature.
3. Remove the protective cap.
4. Position your baby comfortably for feeding.
5. Gently introduce the nipple to your baby's mouth, allowing them to latch naturally. The wide base of the nipple encourages a wide latch similar to breastfeeding.
6. Observe your baby's feeding cues and pace. The slow flow nipple is designed to prevent overwhelming the baby with milk.
7. After feeding, remove the bottle and burp your baby as needed.

5. Cleaning and Maintenance

Proper cleaning and maintenance are essential for hygiene and product longevity.

1. Immediately after each use, disassemble all bottle parts.
2. Wash all components in warm, soapy water using a soft brush or sponge. Ensure all milk residue is removed.
3. Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
4. All parts are top-rack dishwasher safe. For best results, place smaller components in a dishwasher basket.
5. Sterilize regularly by boiling in water for 5 minutes or using a steam sterilizer.
6. Allow all parts to air dry completely before reassembling or storing to prevent moisture buildup.
7. Store clean, dry components in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight.

6. Troubleshooting

• Nipple Collapse: Ensure the Air Ventilation System (AVS) is clear and not blocked. Check that the nipple is correctly inserted into the collar.
• Leaking: Verify that the collar is securely tightened onto the bottle body and that the nipple is properly seated in the collar. Ensure the protective cap is firmly in place when transporting.
• Baby Refuses Bottle: The NaturalWave Nipple is designed to minimize nipple confusion. If your baby is struggling, try different feeding positions or ensure the milk temperature is appropriate. Consult with a lactation consultant if issues persist.
• Slow Flow: The NaturalWave Nipple is intentionally designed for a slow flow to mimic breastfeeding. If you suspect the flow is too slow or too fast, ensure you are using the correct nipple size for your baby's age and development.
