Dr. Brown's Sippy Spouts and Sippy Bottles
Instructions and Safety Guide
Dr. Brown's Milestones™ soft silicone sippy spout and sippy bottle are designed to help your child transition from bottle to cup. The sippy spout can also be used in place of the nipple/teat on Dr. Brown's® Options+™ Bottles when the internal vent system has been removed. Sippy spout will not work properly with the vent system installed, or in non-Dr. Brown's® Options+™ Bottles.
Before First Use
Use clean hands and clean surfaces when handling. Disassemble, clean the product and then place the components in boiling water for 5 minutes to ensure hygiene. Wash all parts prior to use. Be sure the spout hole is clean.
Before Each Use
Pull on the spout in all directions before each use to make sure it does not tear. Inspect carefully, especially when the child develops teeth, and replace the spout immediately if it shows any signs of wear or damage, such as cracking or change of shape. Small pieces can accidentally be inhaled and cause serious injury. Clean before each use. The spout must be clean and free of obstructions.
Cleaning
All parts are dishwasher safe (top rack only). Safe for use in electric sterilizer, microwave sterilizer or boiling water.
Sippy Bottle Assembly
Insert sippy spout from bottom side of collar and pull spout from top until it snaps into place. Fill bottle for feeding and tighten collar with spout onto bottle. If your sippy bottle has Dr. Brown's Silicone Handles, place bottle on a firm surface, place handles over neck of bottle and push down into place on bottle. When removing handles from bottle, soapy water may help handles slide off more easily. When transporting bottles, always keep them upright with cap on to help prevent leaking.
