At Mininor we support breastfeeding, but sometimes it might be necessary to use a bottle as a supplement or it might be preferred to bottle feed all together. Mothers who breastfeed their babies can experience a feeling of not being adequate if the breastfeeding is not working out. Our advice: it is better to have a happy mother who bottle feeds than a miserable mother who partly breastfeeds.
Mininor nipples are available in 5 sizes that fit all Mininor bottles: 0m, 3m, 6m, 9m and 9m+. These age-indications should be taken as a guide as babies with the same age might have different needs and capabilities. As a rule of thumb, if the baby can finish a meal in less than 10 minutes the hole is too big, and if the baby takes longer than 15 minutes to finish a meal the hole is too small.
The sizes 0m, 3m, 6m, and 9m have regular round holes. 9m+ has a cross-cut hole which makes it leak-proof and ideal for thicker liquids.
Clean the nipple in a mild detergent and rinse thoroughly. Sterilise in boiling water for a few minutes or steam sterilise in a steam steriliser made for this purpose.
Warning: Always check nipples before each use. If a nipple has cracks or other damages it should be discarded. Do not use an abrasive agent to clean the nipple.
