Our nipples are made from a transparent, medical grade silicone that is heat-resistant, non-toxic, and odorless. And our nipples are free of nitrosamines, a potentially harmful contaminant found in many rubber nipples that has been found to migrate into liquids. For reliable, up-to-date information about bisphenol A and polycarbonate plastic baby bottles, refer to the bisphenol A controversy at the Learn section of our web site.

Our baby bottles are made from PES plastic, which gives them a natural golden color. They are free of the potentially harmful chemicals used in polycarbonate plastic (PC), from which most baby bottles are made. Recent studies indicate that PC bottles leach bisphenol A into liquids, which may be harmful to babies and children.

Green bottles/water is produced by single celled algae, which although in minute amounts when bottled and kept in the correct storage conditions, may reproduce if the bottles are not looked after properly. For example, Chilburne Spring recommends spare water bottles should be stored in cool, dark conditions, such as a store cupboard. Water coolers should also be kept out of direct sunlight and away from other strong light sources e.g. strip/fluorescent lighting.

No. The Second Nature nipple is an all stages nipple. Baby controls the flow - similar to when you breastfeed. You don't have to change mum's breast every three months - you should not have to change the bottle nipple! Inspect the Second Nature nipples regularly. Should you see any tears, throw out the nipple and replace with new ones.

It's most likely that they are getting more foremilk. Try feeding the baby more often in order to keep the breast from engorging with foremilk and making it longer for the hindmilk to start flowing. Or, pump a little before offering the breast to the baby.

Store extra bottles at room temperature, but avoid direct sun and heat. Even a few hours in direct sun or high heat will ruin the delicate flavor of the seltzer. Heated or frozen bottles can also explode violently. These are returnable bottles. Please care for them and keep the flow going -- quantities are limited. Please do not loosen the tops; the small amount of seltzer in the bottom is not counted in the volume you are charged for -- you are not being shorted.

If your nipples are sore beyond the first few days, chances are your baby is not positioned correctly on your breast. His mouth should be opened wide, with as much of your breast in his mouth as possible. Your nipple should stay in the back of this throat. His nose and chin should be touching your breast, and his chest resting square against yours. "Chin to breast, and chest to chest." Sometimes, a slightly turned-in lip can cause soreness.

Never nurse your child to sleep or put him or her to bed with a bottle. Always clean your child’s teeth with a toothbrush after nursing or a bottle. Schedule your child’s first dental visit between 12 and 18 months of age.

Protect your child from severe tooth decay by putting them to bed with nothing more than a pacifier or bottle of water. Do not dip the pacifier in any kind of sweetened liquid.
