Guide to maintenance and cleaning of non-insulated Pura bottles
Pura stainless steel bottles (non-insulated)
Cleaning and sterilisation
Before first use, the bottle should be disassembled and thoroughly cleaned. Place the bottle and the stainless steel and silicone components separately in lightly boiling water for 5 minutes to ensure proper hygiene.
Important: Do not boil silicone sleeves with a pattern or texture, as this may damage the pattern.
Before each use, it is recommended to:
- Completely disassemble the bottle
- Remove the silicone cap and any silicone sleeve
- Wash with warm water, mild dishwashing soap and a bottle brush
- Rinse thoroughly to remove all soap residue
The bottle is dishwasher-safe:
- Dishwasher (top rack)
- Electric steriliser
The bottle is not suitable for:
- Microwave
- Microwave steriliser for metal parts
When cleaning teats, straws and drinking spouts, take care not to damage the ventilation holes and drinking openings. The teat should not be turned inside out.
Checking silicone components
Before each use, you should:
- Check the teat, straw or spout for wear
- Gently pull the silicone in different directions
- Replace components that show signs of tears, weakness or wear
Silicone can be damaged by teething. If you discover loose silicone pieces or damage around the opening, the part should be replaced.
Do not:
- Leave silicone components in direct sunlight for extended periods
- Leave them in sterilisation solutions longer than recommended
Use
After cleaning, fill the bottle with the desired drink.
Fit the teat, spout or straw through the steel ring and then screw the ring onto the bottle. Do not overtighten, as the ventilation must function correctly.
Before feeding, always check the temperature on the inside of your wrist.
When using the Pura Natural Vent teat:
- The ventilation hole should face up
- The hole should be aligned with the child's nose
- The Pura logo should face down towards the child's chin
This ensures that the anti-colic valve functions as intended.
Heating milk
Pura stainless steel bottles must never be used in a microwave.
To warm milk, you can:
Option 1
Use an electric bottle warmer according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Option 2
Place the bottle in a bowl or cup with warm water for 1–2 minutes until the contents are lukewarm.
Option 3
Let warm tap water run over the bottom part of the bottle for approximately 30 seconds.
Never give the child liquid that is warmer than 37 °C. Always test the temperature before feeding.
Storing breast milk
With Pura's sealing cap (sold separately), the bottles can be used to store breast milk.
When freezing:
- The 325 ml bottle should not be filled above 240 ml
- The 150 ml bottle should not be filled above 120 ml
Liquid expands when it freezes, and overfilling can deform the bottle.
Safety information
- Continuous and prolonged sucking of liquid can lead to tooth damage.
- Always check the temperature before feeding.
- Discard silicone components at the first sign of damage or wear.
- Keep loose parts out of reach of children.
- Never attach the bottle to cords, straps or loose clothing.
- Teats and drinking spouts should not be used as pacifiers.
- The product should always be used under adult supervision.
- Children should not walk or run while drinking.
- Prolonged use of a bottle or cup during the day or night can contribute to tooth decay, even with unsweetened drinks.
