Frequently asked questions

Can I use baby teats / nipples from different brands?

Sleepy Bottle is made to fit and will perform best using our own brand baby teats. We understand that sometimes the baby can refuse the teat from one brand, that is why Sleepy Bottle is compatible with Avent classic baby teats, BIBI basic care baby teats, MAM and dr.Brown teats.

How do I set up my Sleepy Bottle?

Take Sleepy Bottle out of the box and wash and sterilize all washable parts (baby bottle, both parts of the cartridge for baby formula, baby teat, baby teat ring and baby teat cover). Make sure you completely dry them before you put them to use. Plug the charger into a wall outlet and in to Sleepy Bottle heater. It will take up to 10 seconds for heater to calibrate.

You can only use heater when baby bottle is completely assembled (baby bottle, cartridge, baby teat and baby teat cover).
