How to use the vent hole on the nipple

Lead: Many novice parents know nothing about the function of the vent hole on the nipple and don't pay attention to it. Let's talk about how to use the vent hole on the nipple first.

Function of vent:

Ensure smooth air discharge, reduce the air inhaled by the baby, prevent the baby from burping, abdominal pain or spitting milk, and reduce nipple collapse and sucking.

Buying guide:

Novice parents must choose to buy pacifiers with air inlets. The air inlet is generally at the lower edge of the nipple, and the cross-shaped air inlet should be selected. According to the characteristics of baby sucking, the cross-shaped air inlet is the most suitable, and it will automatically close soon, which is very convenient and it is not difficult for baby to suck. In addition, check whether the nipple is fully equipped, such as straws and through-hole needles.

Use-Open:

Before use, check whether the air inlet is open. If not, open it with a through-hole needle. Don't drive too much or too little. If it is too big, it is easy to spill milk. If it is too small, it is difficult for the baby to suck milk. Don't use anything else, it's unhealthy and you can't grasp the size of the opening.

Direction of use:

When the baby drinks milk, it is best that the air inlet is upward. If it is downward, milk may overflow or drip. Pay attention to the instruction manual of nipple. Some special nipples must face up, while others are not particular. Generally speaking, it is better to face up.

Use-cleaning:

After the nipple is used, it may block the air inlet or milk outlet. Be sure to put it in place when cleaning, and clean it with a special cleaning brush for nipple. If it is blocked, open it with a through-hole needle and clean it.

Usage check:

Generally, the vent hole is cross-shaped and can be closed automatically. When the baby sucks, the hole is opened and closed when it is mended. To check whether it will automatically close, you can pinch it with your hand and squeeze it open to see if there are some round holes. In addition, the size of the nipple inlet of different brands is different, and the matching with the bottle is also different. If the nipple is broken and needs to be replaced, be sure to buy the same brand.
