How to Assemble and Use the Bloom Glass Baby Bottle

Quick answer

To assemble the Bloom Glass Baby Bottle, simply screw the slow-flow nipple onto the glass bottle after sterilizing all parts. Fill with breast milk, attach the cap for storage, and warm before feeding.

Step-by-step assembly and use

1. 1. Sterilize all parts: Before first use, wash the glass bottle, nipple, and cap in hot soapy water or run them through a dishwasher on a sanitize cycle. Rinse thoroughly. Common mistake: Skipping sterilization can introduce bacteria. Always sterilize before first use.
2. 2. Assemble the bottle: Screw the slow flow nipple onto the glass bottle until snug but not over-tightened. Attach the cap if you plan to store the bottle in the fridge or a cooler. Checkpoint: Ensure the nipple is not twisted or pinched inside the cap, which can cause leaking.
3. 3. Fill with breast milk: Pour freshly expressed or thawed breast milk into the bottle. Leave about 1 inch of headspace to allow for expansion if freezing (though glass is not recommended for freezing). Common mistake: Filling to the brim can cause spills when attaching the nipple. Leave room for the nipple and cap.
4. 4. Warm the bottle (optional): Place the assembled bottle in a bowl of warm water or use a bottle warmer. Never microwave the glass bottle, as uneven heating can cause breakage or hot spots. Checkpoint: Test the milk temperature on your wrist before feeding. It should feel lukewarm, not hot.
5. 5. Feed and clean: After feeding, discard any leftover milk. Rinse the bottle immediately to prevent milk residue from drying. Wash with warm soapy water or place in the dishwasher. Common mistake: Leaving milk residue can cause odors and stains. Rinse right after use.
