What is a dental bottle teat?

by Nicola Louw on Oct 21 2024
The Difrax Dental Bottle Teat is specially designed for babies who tend to choke easily or for whom the standard size S teat flows too quickly. The bottle teat has a flat nozzle with a hole at the top. This design allows the milk to spread more evenly in the mouth before swallowing, which helps prevent choking and makes it easier for the baby to regulate the flow. It’s ideal if your baby takes about 15 to 20 minutes to finish a bottle, as this ensures proper digestion and satisfies their natural sucking needs. The dental bottle teat fits all versions of the narrow Difrax S-bottles (170 ml, 250 ml, and the 240 ml handle bottle). Suitable from birth, including for premature babies and those with reflux.

How does the 1-2-3 Variflow teat work?

by Nicola Louw on Oct 21 2024
The 1-2-3 Variflow teat allows you to control the amount of milk and therefore the drinking speed of your baby. This way, the flow rate can be adjusted to your baby’s sucking reflex, even during feeding. Setting 1 allows less milk to flow than setting 3. Start with setting 1 when your baby is still thirsty and sucking hard, and finish with setting 3 when your baby is getting tired. Rotate the desired setting (number) directly under your baby’s nose. Use the specially designed 1-2-3 Variflow ring to easily set and change the flow rate. Manual 1-2-3 Variflow teat (pdf) > Manual 1-2-3 Variflow ring (pdf) >

My 1-2-3 Variflow teat has 2 small holes in it instead of a small slit. Is that correct?

by Nicola Louw on Oct 21 2024
Yes, the 1-2-3 Variflow teat should have a small slit between the small holes. Sometimes, the spontaneous opening of the slit can be mistaken for the teat tearing. If you only see 2 holes, it might be that the silicone material of the new teat is still sticking together. By pinching the top of the teat firmly or rolling it between your thumb and index finger. The silicone can separate, and the teat will function properly. You can also turn the teat inside out (and back). The slit can be opened manually a any time.

Do the settings 1, 2 and 3 on the 1-2-3 Variflow teat correspond to the Small, Medium and Large sizes in the regular bottle teats?

by Nicola Louw on Oct 21 2024
No. Because the 1-2-3 Variflow teat has a small slit in it rather than a hole—as is the case with regular bottle teats—the flow is slightly greater. This means that setting 1 flows a little faster than the Small size, setting 2 is slightly faster than Medium, and setting 3 is slightly faster than the Large size. For this reason, we recommend using this bottle teat from 3 months and up or when using thicker food.

How do I open the valve at the bottom of the S-bottle?

by Nicola Louw on Oct 21 2024
At the bottom of the S-bottle, you will find the valve. Take it in your hands, pinch the middle of the raised edge, and push the ends together. You can also push back once with a finger in the raised section. A small slit will appear (see photo below). Always check that the valve is open before feeding. After cleaning, the valve may have closed again. Ensure the valve is thoroughly dry before placing it back in the bottom ring. Press the valve firmly into the bottom ring and do not overtighten the bottom of the bottle; hand-tightening is sufficient! Overtightening can affect the bottle's performance and may even cause leakage. If the S-bottle creates a vacuum, it usually means the valve at the bottom is not working correctly. For the anti-colic S-bottle to function properly, it is essential that the air hole in the valve is open. Cleaning Tip: During cleaning, you can easily remove the anti-colic valve under the tap. Unscrew the bottom of the bottle and hold it upside down under running water. Thanks to the holes in the bottom of the bottle, the water will hit the valve and release it easily. You can also tap the valve out of the bottom.

Do I need to unscrew the bottom of the S-bottle during feeding?

by Nicola Louw on Oct 21 2024
No, the bottom should not be loosened, but rather tightened hand-tight. If the nipple creates a vacuum, it indicates that the anti-colic valve at the bottom of the S-bottle is not functioning properly. Therefore, always check before each use that the air hole in the anti-colic valve is open by gently squeezing it. See: How do I open the valve at the bottom of the S-bottle?

My S-bottle creates a vacuum when it shouldn’t. What could be the issue?

by Nicola Louw on Oct 21 2024
If the S-bottle is creating a vacuum, it usually means that the silicone anti-colic valve at the bottom of the bottle is not functioning properly. Therefore, always check before each use whether the air hole in the anti-colic valve is open. You can do this by gently pinching the valve.

Why are there volume markers in the cap of the S-bottle?

by Nicola Louw on Oct 21 2024
The caps of all Difrax baby bottles feature volume markers. On the Natural S-bottle and the easy-grip bottle, this is 30ml; for the Wide S-bottles, this is 50ml. Because the Difrax baby bottles have a removable base, the volume marker on the bottles only starts from 50ml. The volume you can measure with the cap compensates for the missing markers on the S-bottle itself. This is useful in the early days when you need to measure out very small quantities or want to know exactly how much milk is left after a feed. The volume markers on the cap are calibrated, allowing for very precise measurements.

What are the benefits of the Difrax S-bottle?

by Nicola Louw on Oct 21 2024
The Difrax S-bottle features a valve at the bottom, allowing for a constant air supply from the back of the bottle. This prevents air from mixing with the milk and forming bubbles at the nipple, so your baby swallows less air. By keeping the air at the back of the S-bottle and preventing it from mixing with the milk, it reduces gas, burping, and spitting up. Additionally, this ensures that nutrients and vitamins remain intact, as there is no mixing of air and milk. The S-shape of the bottle allows your baby to feed in a natural, ergonomic position, promoting relaxed drinking and enhancing eye contact between you and your baby.

Do I need to replace a bottle teat regularly?

by Nicola Louw on Oct 21 2024
Yes. A bottle teat can dry out or become damaged due to saliva or milk residues. Some babies also tend to bite on the teat. Therefore, Difrax advises replacing the bottle teat every six weeks. Check the bottle teat for damage before each use by giving it a firm pull.

My baby is drinking too quickly - what can I do?

by Nicola Louw on Oct 21 2024
Difrax has developed a bottle teat for each stage of your baby’s growth. Therefore, Difrax offers a wide range of bottle teats: Small, Medium, Large, and Extra Large. The different sizes of bottle teats ensure the ideal feeding pace for your baby. All Difrax baby bottles come with a size S (Small) bottle teat as standard. If your baby is drinking too quickly with this S teat, we recommend the Dental teat. The Dental bottle teat is specially designed for babies who tend to choke easily or for whom the standard size S flows too fast. This teat features a flat nozzle with a small hole at the top, which helps distribute the milk or formula more evenly in the mouth before swallowing. This can help prevent choking and makes it easier for your baby to pace the feeding. It is important that your baby takes 15 to 20 minutes to finish a bottle. At this pace, your baby can properly process the feeding and fulfill the natural need to suck. The Dental bottle teat fits all models of the Difrax S-bottle Natural (170ml, 240ml, and 250ml) and is suitable from birth, including for premature babies and babies with reflux. Tip: A useful tool for finding the correct position of the Dental bottle teat on the bottle is the 1-2-3 ring.

Do I need to boil or sterilize baby bottles?

by Nicola Louw on Oct 21 2024
No, in the Netherlands, the protocol changed a few years ago. Baby bottles and teats no longer need to be sterilized but must be properly cleaned. It's sufficient to clean them in the dishwasher. First, brush the threads to remove any leftover proteins, as they can coagulate at 40 degrees and potentially damage the bottle. You can also clean the bottles by hand. Rinse with cold water first, then wash with dish soap, hot water, and a brush. Dry the parts thoroughly. If you choose to sterilize, follow the instructions in the product manual.

The measurement markings on my S-bottle are incorrect. How is this possible?

by Nicola Louw on Oct 21 2024
The measurement markings on the S-bottle and the Mammafeel bottle are not calibrated. The safe margin on every baby bottle allows for a deviation of up to 5%, regardless of your child's age or the amount of formula you are giving. Example: If you are giving 150 ml of formula, the measurement on the S-bottle may deviate by up to 7.5 ml more or less. If the deviation is greater than 7.5 ml when giving 150 ml, as in this example, we offer a warranty on the bottle. The cap of the S-bottle does have a calibrated scale. The S-bottle and Easy grip baby bottle caps have a measurement marking. If you need to measure formula very precisely, you can use the cap of the S-bottle.

Where can I find the batch number on the bottle?

by Nicola Louw on Oct 21 2024
The batch number of the bottle consists of 4 or 5 digits. You can find this number at the bottom of the measurement markings on the bottle.

Do I need to sterilize a pacifier?

by Nicola Louw on Oct 21 2024
According to current guidelines in the Netherlands, baby products no longer need to be boiled or sterilized. However, it is important that a pacifier is thoroughly cleaned before giving it to your baby. It is sufficient to clean pacifiers in the dishwasher, wash them by hand, or rinse them in hot or boiled water. If you still wish to sterilize the pacifier, follow the instructions provided in the manual. Pacifier Userguide (PDF)
