Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Nipple flow seems too fast or too slow. | This nipple is designed for standard flow. Individual infant feeding preferences and needs vary. | Consult with a healthcare professional if the standard flow is not suitable for your infant. Ensure the nipple is not clogged (though unlikely with new, disposable nipples). |
| Leaking around the nipple ring. | Nipple and ring not securely attached to the bottle, or bottle thread incompatibility. | Ensure the ring is twisted on tightly and straight. Verify that the bottle is compatible with the Similac Component Nipple System. |
| Infant refuses the nipple. | Infant preference for a different nipple type or flow rate. | This nipple is a standard, disposable type often used in hospital settings. If refusal persists, consult with a pediatrician or lactation consultant. |
