The Tommee Tippee Ultra bottle is designed to provide a comfortable and relaxed feeding experience for both baby and parent. Its primary function is to facilitate the feeding of liquids to infants, featuring a unique 'contoured and angled' teat that aims to help babies latch on, stay on, and feed comfortably.
The Ultra bottle serves as a vessel for infant feeding, allowing for the controlled delivery of milk or other liquids. The design focuses on enhancing the baby's natural feeding action through its specially shaped teat. The bottle system includes several components that work together to ensure hygienic and efficient feeding. The hygiene cover protects the teat when not in use, the teat itself is designed for optimal latch, the screw ring secures the teat to the bottle base, and a valve system is integrated to ensure proper venting during feeding, preventing vacuum build-up and promoting a smooth flow. The bottle base holds the liquid feed. The overall design aims to minimize discomfort for the baby and simplify the feeding process for the parent.
The Tommee Tippee Ultra bottle is designed for ease of use from initial setup to daily feeding and subsequent cleaning.
To assemble the bottle, the teat is inserted into the screw ring, aligning two locators to ensure correct positioning. The teat is then pulled through until it fully 'clips' into the screw ring, creating a secure seal. A key feature highlighted is that the teat and screw ring do not need to be disassembled for sterilizing, simplifying the cleaning routine.
Before first use, all parts of the bottle must be washed in warm soapy water, rinsed in clean water, and then sterilized. This ensures the highest level of hygiene for the infant. When assembling, it is crucial to check the valve by holding it to the light to ensure the slit in the silicone has not sealed closed. If it has sealed, gently pinching it between the fingers will re-open it, as a sealed valve would prevent proper venting. Once assembled and checked, the feed can be prepared and the bottle is ready for use. After each use, all parts should be washed and rinsed, ready for the next sterilization cycle.
The 'contoured and angled' teat is a central feature, designed to promote a natural latch and comfortable feeding. This unique shape is intended to help babies maintain their latch throughout the feed, reducing interruptions and potential discomfort. The integrated valve system works to ensure a consistent flow of liquid, preventing the teat from collapsing and allowing the baby to feed without excessive air intake.
The manual emphasizes the importance of increasing the teat's flow rate as the baby grows. Tommee Tippee Ultra teats are available in different flow rates: slow flow (0m+), medium flow (3m+), and fast flow (6m+), allowing parents to select the appropriate teat for their baby's developmental stage and feeding needs.
The manual provides several warnings to ensure the child's safety and health. Adult supervision is always required during feeding to prevent accidents, such as the baby falling or the product disassembling. Food temperatures must be checked before feeding, especially when heating in a microwave, which can create localized hot spots. Heated food should always be stirred to ensure even heat distribution and tested for temperature before serving. Feeding teats should never be used as soothers, as continuous and prolonged sucking of fluids can lead to tooth decay, even with non-sweetened liquids. This risk is heightened if the bottle is used for extended periods, particularly overnight, when saliva flow is reduced.
Proper cleaning and sterilizing are essential for maintaining the hygiene and longevity of the Tommee Tippee Ultra bottle.
The product should be cleaned before each use and immediately after use. Before the very first use, it must be placed in boiling water for 5 minutes to ensure hygiene. All parts can be washed in warm soapy water and rinsed in clean water, or cleaned on the top shelf of a dishwasher. For cleaning other bottle parts, a closer to nature teat & spout brush is recommended.
Extra care is advised when cleaning the valve. The teat valve is made from a thinner silicone than the teat itself, making it more delicate. Therefore, gentle handling is necessary to prevent damage. It is crucial not to allow the product to come into contact with oil-based foods (e.g., oil/tomato-based sauces) as this can cause staining. Solvents or harsh chemicals should not be used for cleaning. The teat should not be turned inside out for cleaning, as this can cause damage. A teat brush or any other implement should not be used to clean the valve or feeding hole, as this can cause splits and tears. However, thorough cleaning of the valve after each use is important to maintain its performance, and ensuring the valve is flushed with warm water during cleaning is recommended.
Once cleaned, all bottle components are ready for sterilization. They are suitable for various sterilization methods, including steam (electric or microwave), boiling, or cold water tablet/liquid solutions.
Components not in use should be kept out of reach of children. For safety and hygiene, it is recommended that the feeding teat be replaced every 2 months. The bottle should not be stored or left in direct sunlight, near a heat source, or in disinfectant ("Sterilising Solution") for longer than recommended, as this can weaken the teat. Contact with solvents or harsh chemicals should also be avoided during storage.
The bottle is not suitable for use in a conventional oven or a combination microwave oven with the grill feature switched on. When heating in a microwave, the bottle should not be sealed; the teat, locking ring, and dome cap must be removed.
