How to prevent milk from spraying out of the nipple like a stream after warming?

I would remove the top(unscrew lid) and then screw it back on. Also pinch where the number is located as directed in the instructions.

As far as I'm aware...no. However, I had my mom make a simple waterproof slip cover over the part if the pillow where my little feeds. It prevents the foam from getting any milk on it. Before I had the slip cover, I just put a receiving blanket or a cloth diaper down before I put my little one on. Hope this helps!

Tricia is correct. I will add that Medela does make an excellent slow flow nipple. Our daughter started on that, which then helped her learn to breastfeed.

We rinse the head under hot water as soon as we have foamed the milk. I did notice the other day that there was some milk deposits so I thought I would just swish it in some soapy water. I hope this helps.

Just simply clean it well and paint stuff on. It looks like milk and looks like it does nothing, but let it dry and it disturbs the surface just enough to make it work great. When i did it, I poured some out of bottle and into tub and used the little roller to spread it around. Ended up using 1/2 the bottle. It was super simple. It took me longer to type this explanation than it did to do the tub... :)

Yes, you can use bottle warmer, I use it and I have no problem at all with the temperature and drop ins. But just to be careful if is breast milk, you could warm the breast milk in the bag before and then put it in the drop in. That's what I do.

Your child regulates how fast or slow they get the milk from these bottle/nipples. I would not recommend starting out with the slow flow just because the child would more than likely get frustrated.

If you have a liner over the threads of the bottle it could be hard to twist it to the connector. I always pumped into the bottle then transferred to breastmilk bags and just washed the bottle or put the empty bottle in the fridge until the next pump session.

Yes. There are two ways to do it. One is with the frothing attachment and the other is with the external milk container. Both work well but I have been using the frothing attachment since it gets the milk hotter.

For Milk, it's advised never to microwave it to warm in any bottle. And further more, warming liquid with a glass container in a microwave is likely to cause a breakdown of the plastic into the liquid. I'd avoid this particular issue with a baby's food/drink

According to all the experts, you should never microwave breastmilk because it can cause hot spots that burn the baby. As an earlier person mentioned, these thaw very well running them under warm, running water for a few minutes. They only hold 2.5oz, so there's not much milk in there to begin with. You might also be able to put them in a bottle warmer, but I haven't personally tried it.

The frother has a temp gauge so it won't froth if the milk is already warm.

Use very cold milk and make sure the frother machine is not warm to the touch. Also try 2% or 1% milk.

Run the wand and whisk under water just before placing in your hot milk. It will make it easier to clean afterwards.

There is an adapter and ring that allows her to pump into liner. When done she can remove adapter piece and there's a screw on top that attaches to ring to keep milk from spilling. This is how I transport fresh/refrigerated milk to my sitter. She can also freeze milk like this then remove ring & top once milk is frozen. I then put liners of frozen milk into Ziploc freezer bags. Some people also put plastic wrap over the open top to help prevent freezer burn. This way rings are available for use again with pump.

Maggie...you can't, because you can't add your warm breast milk to cold breast milk (so I've read). What I do if I have a bag I want to fill more is I pump into a bottle, then put that in the fridge to cool and then when they are the same temperature in the fridge, dump the contents of the bottle into the bag.

Nope. I warm up the milk in a small saucepan and pour into the liner. I also re-use the liners - scrub with a bottle brush and they forever!
