Step-by-step Guide to Assembling Dr. Brown’s Bottles
Step 1: Ready Your Supplies
Ensure a clean and proper working area free from distractions is prepped for bottle assembly.
Step 2: Place The Washers On The Stem Screw Of The Base And Alongside It.
Be careful not to damage them during installation as they play a critical role in reducing leaks.
Pro Tip: If the washers get lost during cleaning session don't panic; replacements can be bought online or found bouncing gleefully around under couch cushions.
Step 3: Attach Blue Anti-Colic Valve To Straw And Insert Into Bottle Neck
Insert blue anti-colic valve into straw by pressing firmly until it snaps into place. Ensure straw is fully inserted into hood before tightly attaching collar with silicone washer onto base stem screw so air vent lines up with vent hole near bottom edge of base.
Pro-Tip: Make sure that valve is inserted securely or prepare for a milk-carnage, liquids everywhere scenario.
Step 4: Add Nipple to Bottle Cap
Gently unscrew the top of the hood and insert nipple onto rim opening until it holds tightly in place.
Pro-Tip: When inserting nipple ensure that doesn't have any obstruction as sometimes new nipples can come clogged with trapped liquid. A clean needle can be used to clear any blockages detected.
Step 5: Fill With Milk/Formula
Pour required amount of milk/formula through neck into bottle. Leave at least an inch of space between formula/milk level and collar.
Pro-Tip: If you fill it all the way up don’t expect anything less than making Dr.Brown proud after watching your messy showcase!
