How do I clean the bottle components? Can I use a dishwasher?
- Holder, Ring and Cap: Wash in hot soapy water or in the top rack of the dishwasher away from the heat source.
- All Nipples (before first use): Should be boiled for five minutes. After each use, wash in hot, soapy water for about one minute and rinse thoroughly.
- Silicone Nipples: May be boiled for five minutes weekly to maintain cleanliness and are dishwasher safe (top of rack only). Do not attempt to enlarge hole of silicone nipple, as this will cause tearing.
- Latex Nipples: Latex Nipples should not be boiled after first time and should not be placed in steam sterilizers or dishwashers

Sterilization is not necessary for holders since there is no direct contact with liquids. However, if you want to sterilize, follow these instructions:
- Original Holders: It is ok to boil these. You can also use steam sterilizers as long as you follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Premium or Decorated Holders: We don’t recommend using steam sterilizers or boiling these since this material cannot handle the temperatures required and the bottles will be damaged during the sterilizing process.
Materials include:
- The Original holder is made of polypropylene
- The Premium and Premium Decorated holders are made of Kostrate, a clear plastic material.
- The nipple ring and cap are made of polypropylene.
- The liners are made of linear low-density polyethylene.
- The amber color nipples are made of natural latex and our clear nipples are made of silicone.
We offer different nipple styles to give mom and baby choices. We offer latex and silicone nipples in different flow rates to meet our consumers’ needs.
