- Slow Flow Nipple (Stage 1): Recommended for most breast-like flow, providing a slow, steady flow suitable for babies 0 months and older.

Setup and Assembly
- Inspect: Before first use, and before each subsequent use, inspect the nipple for any tears, cracks, or signs of wear. Discard and replace if damaged.
- Clean: Thoroughly clean the nipple as per the 'Cleaning and Maintenance' section before first use and after each use.
- Assemble: The Baby Brezza nipple features an integrated collar. Simply align the nipple with the bottle opening and twist the collar clockwise until securely fastened. Ensure the nipple is seated correctly and no gaps are present to prevent leaks.
- Compatibility: These replacement nipples are designed specifically for Baby Brezza Polypropylene and Glass Bottles. Ensure you are using them with compatible bottles for optimal performance and safety.
Usage and Operation
The Baby Brezza Slow Flow Nipple (Stage 1) is designed for newborns and infants aged 0 months and older. It provides a controlled, steady flow of liquid, mimicking the natural pace of breastfeeding.
- Feeding Position: Hold the bottle at a 140-degree angle to ensure the nipple is full of milk and the anti-colic vent system can function effectively, minimizing air ingestion.
- Flow Rate: The slow flow is ideal for babies who are breastfed or prefer a slower feeding pace. Observe your baby for signs of comfort or distress during feeding. If your baby seems to be struggling or taking too long to feed, consult with a pediatrician or lactation consultant.
- Vent System: The TruFlo Vent System is integrated into the nipple. Ensure the vent is clear before each feeding. Do not block the vent during feeding.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Proper cleaning and maintenance are crucial for hygiene and longevity of the nipples. The integrated nipple and collar design simplifies the cleaning process.
- Disassembly: Separate the nipple from the bottle. No further disassembly is required as the nipple and collar are one piece.
- Washing: Wash immediately after each use. Hand wash with warm, soapy water and rinse thoroughly. Use a nipple brush to ensure all milk residue is removed from inside the nipple and the vent.
- Dishwasher Safe: The nipples are top-rack dishwasher safe. Place them securely in the top rack to prevent them from falling to the bottom.
- Sterilization: For sterilization, you can boil the nipples in water for 5 minutes, use a steam sterilizer, or a microwave sterilizer according to the sterilizer's instructions.
- Drying: Allow nipples to air dry completely on a clean drying rack. Store in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight or heat.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Nipple collapses during feeding. | Blocked or non-functional anti-colic vent. Baby sucking too hard for the flow rate. | Ensure the TruFlo vent is clear and not sealed shut. Check for milk residue or blockages. If the problem persists, consider if a faster flow nipple (higher stage) is needed for your baby's feeding strength. |
| Leaking around the nipple collar. | Nipple not securely fastened to the bottle. Damaged nipple or bottle rim. | Ensure the nipple is twisted tightly onto the bottle. Inspect the nipple and bottle rim for any cracks or damage. Replace if necessary. |
| Baby seems frustrated or takes a long time to feed. | Flow rate is too slow for the baby's needs. | The provided nipples are Slow Flow (Stage 1). As your baby grows, they may require a faster flow nipple. Consult your pediatrician to determine if a higher stage nipple is appropriate. |
