DROP-INS AND DISPOSABLE SYSTEM
Can Disposable Liners be reused?
No. Re-use of disposable bottler liners - both the Drop-Ins and Soft bottle liners is not recommended. The advantage of Playtex Disposable Liners is that when you use one, you have a pre-sterilized container allowing for the most sanitary condition possible for feeding you child
Can the nipple, caps and rings be used on other bottles?
No. These parts are designed exclusively for use with Playtex holders and liners.
Can other nipples, caps and rings be used on Playtex bottles?
To achieve the most benefit from our nurser systems and bottles, we suggest you use the components designed for that system.
How Do I Sterilise the Bottles?
The bottle holders use pre-sterilized disposable liners saving you time because you do not need to sterilize the bottle before each use Please note, in order to ensure proper functionality of this system, DO NOT BOIL or STEAM STERILIZE this bottle holder or liner. All components may be cleaned in the top rack of the dishwasher or hand washed. The nipple, nipple ring and cap can be boiled or steam sterilized"<
How do you read the measurements on the Drop-Ins and Original Liners?
For Drops-Ins the measurements can be hard to read due to the transparent design of the liners, however the ounce markings are indicated on them. Original Liners have ounce marking in ink printed on the liner
If you have trouble reading the measurements on the liner itself, refer to the marking on the holder
Can nipples be boiled after each use? Should nipples be boiled after each use?
Playtex suggests that all nipples be boiled for 5 minutes prior to first use. Do not boil latex nipples thereafter. After each use,wash nipples in hot,soapy water for about one minute and rinse thoroughly.
Whilst boiling is perfectly acceptable, it should be noted that continued sterilisation will reduce the service life of any latex nipple. Over time, boiling will cause any latex nipple to swell and will hasten the degradation of this natural material: therefore we suggest rigorous inspection procedures which are included on evey label
Silicone nipples on the other hand are better suited for boiling, but should nevertheless be checked continuously before each use for cracks, tears or signs of excess wear.
Can bottle warmers be used to heat the formula in Playtex Disposable Bottles?
There are so many types of bottle warmers available on the market and we have not tested our products in all of these various types of warmers: therefore we recommend following the warming directions provided in the product instruction leaflet. If you choose to use a bottle warmer please follow the manufacturers recommendation for using with a disposable product.

Boil nipples for five minutes before first use. After each use,wash nipple in hot , soapy water for about one minute and rinse thoroughly. Dishwasher safe, top rack only. Boil nipple for five minutes weekly to maintain cleanliness.
Why is it necessary to remove the nipple before heating the VentAire bottles?
This is to prevent pressure inside the bottle created by the vent design. Loosening or removing the nipple and ring will prevent the vent from activating pressure.
