Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the right nipple for my baby?

The choice of nipple depends on your baby’s age, sucking rhythm, and whether they are fed breast milk or formula. Nipples are classified by flow rates (newborn, slow, medium, fast) to adapt to your baby’s growth.
With your order, we provide a measurement card to help you choose the most suitable size at every stage.

What do “newborn / slow / medium / fast flow” mean?

  • Newborn flow: ideal for the very first days or premature babies.
  • Slow flow: recommended from the first weeks or first month, especially when beginning bottle-feeding.
  • Medium flow: when baby sucks more efficiently or feeding speeds up.
  • Fast flow: for older babies or those who need a faster milk flow.

How do I choose the right breast shield size for the breast pump?

Your baby is usually comfortable if:

  • they suck without choking or becoming unsettled
  • they finish feeding without excessive fatigue
  • they don’t spit up milk regularly
  • they gain weight well according to growth charts

How do I know if the nipple size is suitable?

Your baby is usually comfortable if:

  • they suck without choking or becoming unsettled
  • they finish feeding without excessive fatigue
  • they don’t spit up milk regularly
  • they gain weight well according to growth charts

What is an anti-colic bottle for?

An anti-colic bottle is designed with an air-venting system that limits the ingestion of air during feeding. This may help reduce gas, reflux, and colic in some babies.

How do I clean and care for nipples and bottles?

After each feeding, wash thoroughly with warm soapy water using a bottle brush. Before first use, sterilize for 3 minutes in boiling water or with a suitable sterilizer. Replace any parts at the first signs of wear.

When should I replace a nipple?

Nipples should be replaced every 4 to 6 weeks, or sooner if there are signs of wear (micro-cracks, stretching, deformation). Your baby’s safety and comfort always come first.

Can I heat milk in the microwave with the nipple on?

It is recommended to remove the nipple before microwaving, as the milk may heat unevenly and create hot spots. After heating, put the nipple back on and always check the milk temperature before feeding your baby.

How do I use a breast pump correctly?

To optimize breast pump efficiency:

  • Wash your hands and sterilize the parts before each use
  • Make sure the breast shield fits your breast correctly
  • Start with gentle suction, then gradually increase
  • Empty one breast before switching to the other to stimulate milk production

How often should I pump?

To maintain sufficient milk supply, it is recommended to pump as often as your baby feeds — around 8 to 12 times per 24 hours, especially early postpartum or when returning to work.

My baby sometimes chokes on the bottle — what should I do?

Frequent choking or pauses may be related to:

  • an inappropriate nipple flow (too fast)
  • poor feeding position
  • excess air intake

Check the flow and feeding position, and do not hesitate to consult a healthcare professional if the problem continues.
