60-125ml (2-4ozs)
e. Thaw frozen milk in the refrigerator or by standing the bottle in warm water until it has reached body temperature.
f. If you want to take expressed milk with you when you are out, make sure it stays cold or frozen until needed.

WARNING!
Always use this product with adult supervision. Do not leave baby alone with drinking equipment due to
the risk of choking, baby falling or if the product has disassembled.
Never use feeding nipples as a pacifier. Continuous and prolonged sucking of fluids will cause tooth decay.
Tooth decay in young children can occur even when non-sweetened fluids are used. This can occur if the baby is allowed to use the bottle
for long periods through the day and particularly through the night, when saliva flow is reduced or if it is used as a pacifier.
Always check food temperature before feeding. Do not heat in a microwave. Always stir heated food to ensure even heat distribution and
test the temperature before serving. For your child’s safety – Always check food temperature before feeding by testing on a sensitive part of
your skin. For example on the inside of your wrist.When making up a feed follow the formula milk manufacturer’s instructions and allow the
freshly boiled water to cool before pouring it into the bottle.
CLEANING

• Do not use a bottle brush. Only the nipple and spout cleaner of the closer nature Bottle & Nipple Brush is suitable.
TAKE EXTRA CARE WHEN CLEANING THE SENSITIVE ANTI-COLIC NIPPLE VALVE
In order to ensure optimum venting the nipple valve is manufactured using a thinner silicone than the nipple itself and therefore care needs
to be taken during cleaning to ensure no damage is caused. Do not use a bottle brush or any other implement to clean the anti-colic valve as
this may split and damage it. However, performance of the nipple may be affected if the anti-colic valve is not cleaned thoroughly after
each use. Ensure valve is flushed with warm water during cleaning.
