Chicco Well-Being Glass Feeding Bottle (120ml, Slow Flow) Instruction Manual

1. Introduction and Product Overview

This manual provides essential instructions for the safe and effective use, cleaning, and maintenance of your Chicco Well-Being Glass Feeding Bottle. This bottle is designed to provide a hygienic and comfortable feeding experience for your baby.

The Chicco Well-Being Glass Feeding Bottle is crafted from premium quality borosilicate glass, a 100% food-grade material that is BPA-free. This ensures no leaching of toxic elements into milk, maintaining its purity. The bottle features a physio teat (nipple) inspired by the mother's nipple shape, promoting a natural sucking pattern. An anti-colic valve helps reduce air intake, minimizing colic, gas, and discomfort.

1. Ensure all components are clean and dry.
2. Insert the physio teat (nipple) into the screw ring from the top, pulling it through until it is securely seated.

4. Operating Instructions (Feeding)

4.1 Preparing the Feed

1. Ensure hands are clean before handling the bottle and formula/milk.
2. Prepare formula or express breast milk according to manufacturer's instructions or healthcare professional's advice.
3. Carefully pour the prepared feed into the clean glass bottle. The wide neck design facilitates easy filling.
4. Attach the assembled nipple and screw ring firmly to the bottle.
5. Always check the temperature of the feed on the inside of your wrist before offering it to your baby.

4.2 Feeding Your Baby

The Chicco Well-Being bottle features a slow flow nipple, suitable for newborns and younger infants. The physio teat's symmetrical, elongated, and flattened shape is designed to promote a correct latch and natural tongue movement, mimicking the mother's nipple.

The integrated anti-colic valve at the base of the nipple helps prevent air ingestion, which can reduce instances of colic, gas, and discomfort during feeding.

This bottle is also ideal for mixed feeding, facilitating an easy transition between breast and bottle feeding due to its natural-feeling silicone nipple.

5. Cleaning and Maintenance

Proper cleaning and sterilization are crucial for your baby's health. The Chicco Well-Being Glass Feeding Bottle is designed for easy cleaning and durability.

5.1 Disassembly for Cleaning

After each use, immediately disassemble all parts: bottle, nipple, screw ring, and cap. Rinse them under cold running water to remove any residual milk or formula.

5.2 Cleaning Methods

• Manual Cleaning: Wash all components thoroughly with warm soapy water using a bottle brush and nipple brush. Ensure all milk residue is removed, especially from the nipple's anti-colic valve. Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
• Dishwasher Cleaning: All components are dishwasher safe (top rack recommended). Ensure they are placed securely to prevent damage.

5.3 Sterilization

Sterilize all components after cleaning using one of the following methods:

• Boiling: Place all disassembled parts in a pot of boiling water for 5 minutes. Ensure there is enough water to cover all items and prevent them from touching the bottom or sides of the pot, which could cause damage.
• Steam Sterilizer: Use an electric or microwave steam sterilizer according to the manufacturer's instructions.
• Cold Water Sterilization: Use a cold water sterilization solution according to the manufacturer's instructions.

After sterilization, allow parts to cool and dry completely in a clean, sterile environment. The borosilicate glass is highly durable and shatter-resistant, capable of withstanding high temperatures without shattering or chipping easily. Its non-porous material prevents absorption of stains or odors, maintaining clarity over time.

5.4 Storage

Store clean and dry bottle components in a hygienic, covered container until needed.

6. Troubleshooting

• Leakage: Ensure the screw ring is tightened securely but not excessively. Check that the nipple is correctly seated within the screw ring. Inspect the nipple and bottle for any tears, cracks, or damage. Replace damaged parts immediately.
• Slow Flow/Blocked Nipple: Ensure the anti-colic valve is clean and free from residue. Check the nipple hole for blockages. If the flow remains too slow for your baby's needs, consider consulting a healthcare professional or exploring different flow rates (if available for this model).
• Discoloration/Odor: The borosilicate glass is non-porous and resistant to stains and odors. If discoloration or odor occurs, ensure thorough cleaning and sterilization. If issues persist, discontinue use.
