Why is my bottle leaking?Updated 2 years ago

This may happen if the silicone seal/nipple is not sealed in properly. Make sure to push the nipple through the nipple ring, run your fingers along the rim of the nipple inside the cap and ensure it is flat all around. When screwing the top onto the bottle, ensure it is straight and tight.

If your bottle leaks while feeding, then it may be because the nipple flow is different to what your child needs. Haakaa bottles come with 3 different-sized teats to suit the different stages of your baby - Slow Flow, Medium Flow and Variable Flow. if the flow rate is too slow for your little one, they will have to suck harder to get more milk. This can push air up into the anti-colic vent, causing pressure to build and pushing liquid out of the neck of the bottle- causing leaks! To fix this situation, your baby may be ready for the next teat flow level. As a general rule of thumb, the older the child, the faster the flow rate that is required.

There can be a range of reasons why your bottle might leak when you're preparing milk for feeding. One of these reasons might be that the temperature of the milk is too warm, This can increase the air pressure inside the bottle and cause leaks as the air tries to find its way out.

Over-tightening the pieces of the bottle while assembling it can also cause your bottle to leak, surprisingly enough! To prevent this, ensure that the attachment ring is not tightened too much on the bottle. Twist on until you feel resistance and when you do, do not twist any further as the ring is screwed on tight enough. If you over-tighten the ring onto the bottle too much, it may lead to damage which is something you definitely want to avoid!
