Why do my tommee tippee bottles leak

Leaking while feeding:

Nipple flow levels can be too fast or slow for baby. If the nipple flow level is too slow, baby will suck harder and harder to get more milk. This can push air into the vent, causing pressure to build up. That pressure may then push liquid out of the collar, causing leaking.

Hi, can you tell me if you can use the anti-colic bottles without the anti-colic valve without it leaking? Hi Lisa, thanks for getting in touch. No, unfortunately the anti-colic bottles have to be used with the anti-colic values and cannot be interchanged, we hope this helps.

The valve will work wherever it’s positioned but the best place for the valve is at the top, near your baby’s nose.

We recommend changing your bottle teats every two months. And you should change them immediately if they’re damaged, weak or have been bitten by tiny teeth. As your baby grows, they’ll be able to feed more.

Yes, all of the Tommee Tippee bottles and teats can be washed in the dishwasher. It is suggested to place them on the top shelf and also sterilise them after washing.

For safety and hygiene reasons we recommend that you replace your anti-colic teat every 2-months.

When should I throw away my baby’s bottle? If you notice that your baby’s bottle is damaged, scratched or cracked, it’s a good idea to replace it. It’s also recommended that babies stop drinking from bottles with teats by the time they are one year old (NHS Choices, 2015; Oral Health Foundation, 2017).

The vari flow teats are used to allow baby to control the flow of the milk by using their own sucking strength. The stronger baby sucks, the wider the cross in the teat opens and the quicker the milk flows. Vari flow can be used right from birth as baby is able to get as much or as little as he needs. Hope this helps!

If you don’t notice any chips or breaks in your baby’s bottles, a good rule of thumb is to dispose of them every four to six months, according to The Health Site. If any bottle you have is hovering in the questionable category due to breaks or coloring, it’s always better to toss it than hang onto it.

Easy to take apart, put back together and clean, the Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature bottle is a solid, no-frills option for families. Based on their use of the bottle, our parent testers said that the bottle offers good quality overall, and ease of use was fairly average as far as bottles go.

Overfeeding baby is very rare, but it can happen. It’s more common in bottle-fed babies, simply because it’s easier for parents to see how much food their child is consuming. It also takes less effort to drink from a bottle, so babies (who love to suck) may inadvertently get too much milk while feeding.
