Setup and Assembly

The Nuby 3-in-1 system is designed for easy assembly and customization to suit your child's developmental stage. Ensure all components are clean before first use.

Stage 1: Bottle with Nipple

For the initial stage, use the bottle with the included non-drip nipple. This setup is familiar to babies transitioning from traditional bottles.

Stage 2: Twin Handle Bottle with Nipple

As your baby develops hand-eye coordination, attach the removable easy-grip handles to the bottle while still using the nipple. This helps them learn to hold the bottle independently.

Stage 3: Twin Handle Cup with Spout

When your child is ready to transition to a sippy cup, replace the nipple with the No-Spill silicone spout. The handles remain attached to assist with gripping.

Assembly Steps:

1. Ensure all parts are clean and dry.
2. Select the desired attachment (nipple or spout) and insert it into the neck ring.
3. If using handles, slide them onto the neck ring, ensuring they click securely into place.
4. Screw the assembled neck ring (with or without handles) onto the bottle base until secure.
5. Fill the bottle with the desired liquid.
6. Place the protective cap over the nipple or spout when not in use or for travel.

Operating Instructions

Using the Nuby 3-in-1 bottle is straightforward, designed for ease of use for both parent and child.

Filling the Bottle:

• Unscrew the neck ring from the bottle base.
• Pour the desired amount of liquid into the bottle. Use the measurement markings on the side for accuracy.
• Screw the neck ring back onto the bottle base firmly to prevent leaks.

Feeding/Drinking:

• For the nipple stage, ensure the nipple is correctly positioned for your child's comfort. The teething nubs can provide additional comfort.
• For the spout stage, guide your child to sip from the No-Spill silicone spout. The handles provide an easy grip for self-feeding.
• Always supervise your child during feeding.

Maintenance and Care

Proper cleaning and maintenance ensure the longevity and hygiene of your Nuby 3-in-1 bottle.

Cleaning:

• Disassemble all components before cleaning.
• All parts are dishwasher safe (top rack only).
• Alternatively, wash thoroughly with warm, soapy water and rinse completely.
• Ensure all parts, especially nipples and spouts, are free of residue.
• Allow all components to air dry completely before reassembly or storage.

Sterilization:

• The product is not microwaveable. Do not sterilize in a microwave.
• For sterilization, use a sterilizer or boil in water for 5 minutes. Ensure all parts are fully submerged and do not touch the sides of the pot to prevent damage.

Storage:

• Store all components in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight or heat.

Troubleshooting

Here are solutions to common issues you might encounter with your Nuby 3-in-1 bottle:

Leaking:

• Check Assembly: Ensure the neck ring is screwed on tightly and correctly aligned with the bottle base.
• Nipple/Spout Placement: Verify that the nipple or spout is securely seated within the neck ring.
• Handle Alignment: If using handles, ensure they are properly clicked into place. Misaligned handles can sometimes create a gap leading to leaks.
• Inspect Components: Check the nipple, spout, and sealing rings for any tears, cracks, or wear that could cause leaks. Replace damaged parts.

Nipple Flow Too Fast/Slow:

• The nipple features a vari-flow design. Ensure it is positioned correctly for the desired flow rate.
• If the flow is consistently too fast, especially for younger infants, consider if the nipple is appropriate for their age and feeding stage.
• If the flow is too slow, ensure the vent hole (if present) is not blocked and the nipple is clean.

Damage from Chewing/Biting:

• While the nipple has teething nubs, prolonged or aggressive biting by children with teeth can cause wear or damage to soft silicone components.
• Regularly inspect nipples and spouts for signs of damage. Discard and replace immediately if any tears or holes are found to prevent choking hazards.
• Consider transitioning to a harder spout or cup type if your child frequently damages soft silicone parts.
