Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is the Adiri Natural Nurser made with polycarbonate?
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.
2. 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. The newest version of the Breastbottle Nurser, the Adiri™ Natural Nurser™ Ultimate Bottle, contains no polycarbonate or bisphenol-A.
3. Where is the Adiri Natural Nurser manufactured?
A manufacturer in Taiwan was chosen through a U.S. manufacturing representative who deals with several manufacturers in Asia, even though their costs were higher, based on his recommendation. The manufacturer has been extremely conscientious and responsive through every step of the tooling and manufacturing process. The 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.
4. How often do I need to replace the Adiri Natural Nurser bottles due to wear and tear?
With proper care and cleaning, the nipple should last longer than the 2-3 month average. As with any bottle, you should keep an eye on the nipple, and if you notice any tears in the nipple material, immediately discontinue using the bottle
5. How can I clean the Adiri Natural Nurser?
he Adiri™ Natural Nurser™ Ultimate Bottle may be used in a standard steam sterilizer, microwave, or 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.
6. How can I heat milk in the Adiri Natural Nurser?
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.
