For proper use of the Dodie multi-perforated teat bottle, follow the advice and precautions for use below.
The silicone and plastic parts of the teat are inseparable: do not attempt to separate them. Before first use, disassemble and clean the product, then immerse all the components of this bottle in boiling water for 5 minutes for hygiene purposes. Before each use, carefully clean the bottle and teat by hand or with a soft bottle brush in warm, soapy water (be sure to use mild detergents to avoid damage), then rinse. All parts are dishwasher safe, on the top rack.
Before each use, examine and pull the pacifier in all directions. Discard it at the first sign of damage or fragility. Do not expose the pacifier directly to sunlight or heat. Replace the pacifier at least every 6 to 8 weeks for hygiene and safety reasons.
STERILIZATION INSTRUCTIONS
For cold sterilization, carefully follow the instructions for use. Do not leave the teat in the sterilizing solution longer than indicated, and thoroughly drain the bottle and teat before preparing the bottle.
For heat sterilization (steam or microwave), completely disassemble the bottle and carefully follow the instructions in the appliance's manual. Wait until all parts have cooled completely before reassembling the bottle, as the nipple ring can be difficult to screw onto the bottle when hot.
HEATING INSTRUCTIONS
If the Dodie bottle is warmed, especially in a microwave, place the bottle upright, open, and filled (without the teat ring). Take extra care when heating in a microwave, as it can cause localized high temperatures. Always stir the formula once heated and check the temperature before feeding.
