Adiri FAQs
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT ADIRI NURSERS
Q: Is the Adiri Natural Nurser made with polycarbonate? A: No. The Adiri Natural Nurser Ultimate Bottle is 100% BPA and polycarbonate-free. All materials used in the bottle meet FDA requirements and none contain any bisphenol-A (polycarbonate component), phthalate plasticizers or vinyl chloride. Q: How big is the Adiri Natural Nurser/how much milk does it hold? A: Dimensions: 151.5mm / 6in tall 68mm / 2.7in in diameter Capacity: 8 ounces/ 236 ml Q: How do the stages work? What ages are recommended for each stage? A: Flows/Stages: Stage 1 (white): 0-3 mos. Stage 2 (blue): 3-6 mos. Stage 3 (orange): 6+ mos. Note: When in doubt about which stage to buy, select the slower flow for babies who are solely breastfeeding and mom wants to keep them on the breast, given that the baby will have to work harder to get the milk, much like breastfeeding. To wean off the breast, a faster flow is recommended.
Q: Is the Breastbottle® nurser (Adiri’s previous bottle model) made with polycarbonates?
The cover and base of the Breastbottle® Nurser are made out of
polycarbonate, but the dome (nipple) which comes in most contact with
the milk is made out of a high quality silicone, Class VI. Our newest
version of the Breastbottle Nurser, the AdiriTM Natural NurserTM
Ultimate Bottle, contains no polycarbonate or bisphenol-A.
Q: Where is the Adiri Natural Nurser manufactured? We
chose our manufacturer in Taiwan through a U.S. manufacturing
representative who deals with several manufacturers in Asia, even
though their costs were higher, based on his recommendation. Our
manufacturer has been extremely conscientious and responsive through
every step of the tooling and manufacturing process. Our bottles only
use FDA-approved materials (many shipped at extra cost from the U.S.)
and have been tested both in Taiwan and in the U.S. for quality.
Q: How often do I need to replace the Adiri Natural Nurser bottles due to wear and tear? A: With proper care and cleaning, the nipple should last longer than the 2-3 month average. Like with any bottle, you should keep an eye on the nipple, and if you notice any tears in the nipple material, you should immediately discontinue using the bottle. Q: How can I clean the Adiri Natural Nurser? A: The Adiri Natural Nurser Ultimate Bottle may be used in a standard steam sterilizer, microwave, and in the top rack of the dishwasher. It can also be boiled. The Adiri Natural Nurser should not be sterilized in temperatures over 212 F degrees, e.g., a hospital autoclave. Q: How can I heat milk in the Adiri Natural Nurser? A: Milk can be warmed in the bottle by holding the filled Adiri Natural Nurser under running hot water. It should not be submerged in water with milk in the bottle as the water pressure can unseat the valve and cause milk to leak.
