Filling the teat
The feeder is designed for use with
room temperature feed and should
not be used with hot liquids.

SQUEEZE some air out of the teat.
2. KEEP SQUEEZING and tip the feeder
upside down.
3. Then RELEASE and some feed will enter the teat.
4. REPEAT steps 1-3 several times until the teat is almost full.
As your baby feeds, the teat will automatically refill.
Controlling the flow
The mouthpiece of the teat has an opening with a slit-valve,
which can be adjusted to suit your baby. The flow rate is shown
by the three lines on the teat—longest line for maximum flow,
medium line for medium flow, shortest line for zero flow.

How the slit valve works

closed for zero flow
b) Slit midway: valve partly opens for
medium flow
c) Slit vertical: pressure opens valve for
maximum flow
