How Our Products Work The entire range of Playtex Baby products have been designed with you and your child’s development in mind. You can be confident that each product – from breast pumps and bottles to sippy cups and weaning ranges- were created by a cutting-edge research and product development team, including leading pediatricians and feeding specialists.

Bottle Feeding Problems The Problem with Air Tiny babies have tiny tummies. As your baby ingests air, there is less room for milk, and she’ll likely feel a false sense of fullness. The added air in the stomach also acts like a pneumatic pump. When the stomach contracts, it causes spitting up. Your baby may begin to associate eating with discomfort. By not enjoying eating, she may not get enough nutrition. This can lead to a condition called "failure to thrive." Thus, minimizing the swallowing of air is important and leads to healthier, happier babies. How Traditional Bottles Work Bottles require a way to prevent a vacuum from forming in the bottle. When a vacuum builds, it acts as resistance, making it harder and harder for your baby to continue to feed. If the vacuum becomes strong enough, it can cause the bottle nipple to collapse, stopping the flow of milk and causing an interruption in the feeding rhythm. Traditional bottles prevent the vacuum from forming through a vent in the bottle nipple. As your baby feeds, air is introduced into the bottle at the nipple. This air mixes with the milk causing your baby to ingest air during feeding.

The Disposable System Are you confused about how the disposable system works? Well in simple terms it:- REDUCES GAS & COLIC - Liners contract like the breast, preventing air from entering the system, so you can see the baby get just milk - no air. PRE-STERILISED LINERS - Ensure a fresh, germ free bottle every time, disposable for easy cleaning, guaranteed leak free.Liner is designed to work with the nipple to feed baby on demand in any position. Mothers are able to feed babies in the preferred upright position to help minimise the risk of ear infection caused by liquid flowing into the inner ear. Less bubbles mean less gas, less colic, and less being sick. 2 out of 3 pediatricians surveyed at the American Academy of Pediatrics Conference recommended disposable bottles for healthier feeding See a demonstration on line at Playtex Baby

Using the Liners How to Fill Drop-In Liners: Turn inner package so easy-to-open dispenser is at the bottom. Pull down one of the perforated dispensing tabs to open. Grasp edge of first liner with thumb and fore-finger. Pull ready-formed liner straight down to dispense. To reseal, insert tab into slot. Place ready-formed liner into holder. Pour liquid into liner to desired level. Push nipple firmly into retainer ring to seal properly. Screw retainer ring with nipple onto holder and tighten securely. To remove air, first fully and securely tighten retainer ring on holder, then carefully squeeze the bottom of the disposable liner until a small amount of liquid comes out of the nipple. Do not remove air from liner when retainer ring is loose. Note: Do not allow sharp objects such as fingernails or rings to come into contact with the disposable liner. Discard ready-formed disposable liner after use to ensure a fresh, clean bottle at every feeding. Warming: To warm liquid in Nurser, place Nurser under hot tap water or in pan of warm water removed from heat source. To warm liquid before placing in Nurser, heat liquid in separate container and allow to cool for at least 15 minutes before pouring into liner.

Ventaire Bottles The Playtex® VentAire® bottle helps reduce gas and colic. The patented bottle lets parents feed their baby virtually bubble-free. The leak-proof vent lets air in through the bottom of the bottle versus at the nipple like other bottles. So, there are virtually no bubbles for your baby to swallow That means less gas, colic or spitting up. And, its angled shape promotes the semi-upright feeding position recommended by pediatricians to help prevent ear infections.

The Weaning Ranges Playtex designed their products in partnership with feeding specialists and a child development expert, ensuring that each meets specific developmental needs. The new toddler utensils, bowls and plates promote successful self-feeding and fewer messes, while the ergonomically designed infant spoons make feeding more comfortable for babies and mums – all with a unique and fashionable design. The mealtime products coordinate with Playtex’s popular Insulator cups, the only line to feature matching cups and dinnerware. With Baby Eistein they've used primary colours and textures, along with educational Baby Einstein characters because babies can recognize and respond to them as early as 4 months. Stage 1 Mum & Baby utensils are designed with texture because the feeling of texture in a baby’s mouth during the early stages of cereal feeding can help transition them to solid/adult foods more easily.
