i believe my mōmi bottle (or nipple) is defective. what do i do next? +
So sorry to hear that! The mōmi nipple involves quite a bit of complex engineering, and on rare occasion a defective one may slip through our rigorous inspection process.
If you believe your mōmi product may be defective, please stop using it immediately to avoid any potential safety risk to your baby. Then email us the details at care@momi.baby. If possible, attach a photo showing the defect. We’ll work with you from there to replace any defective parts at no cost to you. At our option, we may choose to issue a refund instead of a replacement. We may require that you return the defective part (at our expense).
Here are some potential defects we’re aware of:
Nipple collapses during feeding. This can occur if the vents in the nipple aren’t functioning properly to allow air back into the bottle. A vacuum forms in the bottle, eventually causing the nipple to collapse as if being sucked into the bottle. This can make for a very frustrated baby, fighting against that suction to get the milk out!
Milk or formula drips from the vents. The vents are designed to let air in, but to keep liquid from spilling out. If milk is leaking out of either of the two vents in the base of the nipple, please let us know.
Milk duct is malformed. The narrow milk duct that runs through the nipple’s tip should be straight and centered. A slight angle is normal and should not create any problems. If the duct is significantly off-center or has bubbles or bulged areas, that may indicate a defect.
Tip of nipple is plugged. If you find a small silicone plug attached to the tip of the nipple where the milk duct opening should be, that may be a sign of defect.
Small bubbles in the tip of the nipple are normal and don’t cause a problem as long as they’re not connected to the milk duct.

how should I introduce the mōmi bottle to my baby? +
Be sure to reference our blog post “How to Introduce a Bottle to Breastfed Baby” for helpful tips on bottle introduction. Some things to keep in mind:
If possible, have someone other than mom offer the bottle at first
Introduce the bottle when your baby is hungry
Let a bit of milk drip out of the nipple before offering it to the baby
It sometimes takes four or five tries (or even more!) for a baby to accept a new bottle. Don’t be discouraged! And we’d love to help you troubleshoot if you run into issues with bottle introduction. Please reach out to us by email at care@momi.baby, by voicemail or text to 980-400-6455, or by chat on our website. We’ll do our very best to respond within 24 hours.
is it normal for milk to drip or stream from the nipple? +
This can happen when warm milk heats the air inside the bottle, causing it to become pressurized. This can happen with any brand of baby bottle. There's an easy 1-2-3 solution for this, shown in this brief video.
what if my baby chews or gnaws on the nipple? +
Some chewing or gnawing is normal when mōmi is first introduced to your baby, as baby is figuring out that this is the source of food. Once feeding is established, it’s important not to allow the baby to use the nipple as a pacifier or teething toy. Excessive chewing or gnawing on the nipple can cause it to wear out more quickly and can even create a safety hazard. Please see the specific safety guidelines under the “product safety” section below.
do i need to pace feed with the mōmi bottle? +
The mōmi bottle allows the baby to regulate the flow and pace of a feeding like in nursing. No pacing needed! Your baby will be a more active participant with this bottle and you can relax and enjoy that feeding time.
what’s the best way to sanitize the mōmi bottle and nipple? +
For extra germ removal, we recommend sterilizing your bottle components (including nipple) daily.
Please note that excessive exposure to UV, such as from a UV sterilizer or direct sunlight, may cause the silicone to decay more rapidly. For this reason, we recommend boiling as the preferred method of sterilization.
To sterilize by boiling:
Fill a large, clean pot with enough water to cover the bottle components.
Submerge the freshly washed bottle in the water upside down, making sure there aren’t any air bubbles at the bottom.
Bring the water to a boil.
Boil the bottle for five minutes.
Turn the heat off and remove the bottle using tongs.
Note: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines indicate that daily sterilization may not be necessary for healthy babies older than three months. Since exposure to excessive heat and UV rays can shorten the life of silicone products, you may want to consider less frequent sterilization if your baby is healthy and older than three months. For more information, read the CDC’s guidance here.
how do i clean the mōmi nipple after use? +
We recommend washing the bottle components in hot sudsy water after each use. Your mōmi bottle set comes with a unique cleaning tool that’s specifically designed to clean the center duct of the mōmi nipple. Please avoid using other objects to clean the inside of the mōmi nipple as they could potentially damage the soft silicone.
how can I tell which flow rate is right for my baby? +
Oh, how we wish we had the magic answer to that! We’ve studied babies by age, weight, and a number of other factors, and there’s just no secret recipe for getting it right every time. That’s why we recommend our starter sets as your first purchase. Our 2-bottle starter includes slow and medium flow nipples, and the 3-bottle starter set includes one of each flow rate (slow, medium, and fast). Once you’ve found the flow rate that’s right for your baby, then you can save money by buying a three-set of bottles with the right flow rate. Our three-sets also include sturdy milk storage caps.
When in doubt, we strongly recommend starting with a slower flow rate and moving up from there if it’s too slow. This will reduce any risk that the introduction of a bottle may interfere with breast feeding.
If you do not begin with one of our starter sets, the following nipple flow recommendations have worked for other mōmi babies.
S (slow) flow nipples tend to work better when:
The baby is a newborn
The baby has not been introduced to other bottles
The baby struggles with choking and gagging when nursing or using other bottles
Mom’s milk production tends to be low
-
The baby uses a slow- or extra-slow nipple of a conventional bottle brand
F (fast) flow nipples tend to work better when:
The baby is older than six months
The baby typically consumes more than 4 ounces in a single feeding
The baby has become accustomed to a conventional bottle nipple with medium flow rate or higher
The baby has adapted to a mom with a stronger letdown and more forceful flow of milk. This is often the case when mom has an oversupply of milk.
how can I tell what flow rate my mōmi nipple is? +
Each mōmi nipple is marked with an “S”, “M”, or “F” near the base, just to the left of the word “naturally”.
does the mōmi bottle work for breast milk and formula? +
Yes, the mōmi bottle can be used to feed breast milk or formula. We know that every baby’s feeding journey is different!
how do you recommend warming milk for the mōmi bottle? +
-
Warm breast milk by placing the container of breast milk into a separate container or pot of warm water for a few minutes or by running warm (not hot) tap water over the container for a few minutes.
Do not heat breast milk directly on the stove or in the microwave.
-
Test the temperature of the breast milk before feeding it to your baby by putting a few drops on your wrist. It should feel warm, not hot.
Swirl the breast milk to mix the fat, which may have separated.
If your baby did not finish the bottle, the leftover breast milk can still be used within 2 hours after the baby is finished feeding. After 2 hours, leftover breast milk should be discarded.
how do you recommend warming formula for the mōmi bottle? +
You do not need to warm infant formula before feeding. If you do decide to warm the formula, place the bottle with prepared formula under warm running water or into a bowl of warm water for a few minutes.
Avoid getting water into the bottle or nipple. This could contaminate the prepared formula.
Test the temperature of the formula before feeding it to your baby by putting a few drops on the inside of your wrist. It should feel warm, not hot.
Never warm infant formula in a microwave. Microwaving creates hot spots, which can burn your baby’s mouth.
what if my mōmi nipple is leaking from the vents? +
This could be an indicator of a defect. Please contact us by email at care@momi.baby, by voicemail or text to 980-400-6455, or by chat here on our website. If possible, send us a photo of what you’re seeing.
what if my mōmi nipple “caves in” when baby is drinking from it? +
This could be an indicator of a defect. Please contact us by email at care@momi.baby, by voicemail or text to 980-400-6455, or by chat here on our website. If possible, send us a photo of what you’re seeing.
what if no milk seems to be coming out when my baby is trying to drink? +
This could be an indicator of a defect. Please contact us by email at care@momi.baby, by voicemail or text to 980-400-6455, or by chat here on our website. If possible, send us a photo of what you’re seeing.
what safety guidelines should i follow when using the mōmi bottle? +
The mōmi bottle and nipple are certified to meet or exceed the U.S. regulatory requirements for product safety. Even so, failure to follow the safety guidelines can shorten the life of the product, and can potentially result in a safety hazard. The soft silicone used in the mōmi nipple makes it more susceptible to damage when not used properly. Please read carefully and observe the safety instructions included with your product. These include the following:
- Do not use nipple as a teething toy or pacifier. Using your mōmi nipple only for feeding will allow it to last much longer.
- The soft silicone material is not designed to withstand excessive biting and gnawing.
- Inspect nipple and bottle components before each use.
- Discard immediately if the nipple has any signs of damage, puncture, cracking, or tearing.
Other important safety guidelines:
- Sterilize nipple and bottle components before first use. See detailed instructions on the reverse side of this sheet.
- Always check food temperature before feeding.
- Do not attach to cords, laces, or loose clothing to bottle or nipple. The child could be strangled.
- Always discard any breast milk or formula that remains at the end of a feed.
- Always use this product with adult supervision.
- This is not a toy. Keep all components not in use out of the reach of children.
- Do not allow children to play with small parts or walk/run while using bottles or nipples.
- Remove the bottle from your baby’s mouth when the baby is not feeding.
- Do not let child take bottle to bed or self-feed for long periods of time.
- Continuous and prolonged sipping of fluids will cause tooth decay.
- Do not place in a heated oven.
- Do not microwave. Liquid inside can heat unevenly or overheat and burn baby’s mouth even if outside of the bottle feels cool.
- When warming breast milk or formula, stir thoroughly to eliminate hot or cold spots, test temperature frequently by placing a few drops on your tongue or back of your hand.
- To prevent possible choking hazard, test strength of nipple regularly by pulling hard on the nipple. Inspect carefully, especially when the child develops teeth, and replace nipple immediately if it shows any sign of wear or damage such as cracking or change of shape.
- Do not leave nipple in direct sunlight or heat or leave in disinfectant (sterilizing solution) for longer than recommended as this may weaken the nipple.
To ensure the bottle functions correctly and to prevent leakage, make sure all the parts are correctly assembled, remove any debris or residue that may collect around the rim of the bottle before assembly and avoid over-tightening the collar.
- Contact your physician should you have any feeding problems or questions.
is the mōmi bottle bpa-free? +
Yes, all of our products are BPA free.
does the mōmi bottle meet regulatory safety requirements? +
Our products are rigorously tested and independently certified for compliance with applicable safety regulations. This includes testing for physical/mechanical strength and chemical content.
To request a copy of our Children’s Product Certificate, please send a letter of request, with your name and return address, to: Momtech Inc., 2217 Matthews Township Pkwy, Suite D-235, Matthews, NC 28105-4819.
where are mōmi products manufactured? +
Our plastic and silicone components are made in the U.S. and Canada by manufacturers with decades of experience making baby bottles and nipples for some of the country’s leading brands.
Our glass bottles are hand-crafted one at a time with borosilicate glass by a leading Chinese manufacturer, and have been certified to be lead-free and compliant with U.S. regulatory standards.
what if my mōmi nipple is beginning to split or crack? +
Discontinue use immediately and replace with a new nipple.
All silicone products wear out over time. Biting and gnawing, exposure to UV from sunlight or sterilizers, and use of abrasive cleaners are just a few factors that can accelerate the aging of the mōmi nipple. The mōmi nipple is designed to last at least
three months under normal use conditions.
If you believe your mōmi nipple has a manufacturing defect, contact us by email at care@momi.baby, by voicemail
or text to 980-400-6455, or by chat here on our website. If possible, send us a photo of what you’re seeing.
what if my baby’s chewing has begun to cut into the nipple? +
Discontinue use immediately and replace with a new nipple.
what if my mōmi nipple has a small bubble in the tip? +
Small bubbles within the solid silicone tip can occur normally in the manufacturing process, and are not a defect. Large bubbles, particularly those that connect with the milk duct, may indicate a manufacturing defect.
If you believe your mōmi nipple has a manufacturing defect, contact us by email at care@momi.baby, by voicemail or text to 980-400-6455, or by chat here on our website. If possible, send us a photo of what you’re seeing.
how often should i replace the mōmi nipple? +
We recommend replacing the mōmi nipple after three months of normal use. If a baby with teeth has chewed or gnawed on the nipple excessively, or if the nipple has been exposed to excessive UV radiation such as from sunlight or a sterilizer, more frequent replacement may be necessary.
why does the mōmi nipple have a single duct? +
When it comes to ensuring that babies can transition from breast to bottle in the most seamless way possible, we experimented to identify the most important factor. We discovered that the baby’s ability to control the flow of milk by compressing the nipple with its tongue was the most important factor to be considered in mōmi’s nipple design.
Our nipple is solid with a single duct that allows your baby to stop the flow of milk through compression with the tongue, just as if they were breastfeeding. Hollow nipples can squirt milk out at exactly the time the baby is trying to stop the flow with the tongue, which requires babies to learn a new way of eating in order to drink from a bottle. This can result in nipple confusion, bottle refusal, and regurgitation.
The single duct also makes the nipple easier to clean, making it more sanitary for baby and more practical for parents. Hooray!
is the mōmi bottle an “anti-colic” bottle? +
The mōmi nipple has two vents in the base designed to let air into the bottle during feeding, reducing the amount of air the baby takes in with the food. This is designed to reduce colic.
why does mōmi only offer a 5 ounce bottle size? +
Since using a mōmi bottle requires the baby to be more active in feeding instead of just passively gulping from a conventional bottle, we find that most babies are satisfied with the amount of milk from a 5oz bottle. However, if your baby needs a larger bottle, the mōmi nipple and bottle collar are compatible with brand-name and generic standard wide-mouth bottles, including Philips Avent plastic, Chicco Duo, and Maymom, among others.
One cost-effective option we’ve tested is the 9-ounce Maymom Wide-Mouth Milk Storage Collection Bottle with Travel Cap and Sealing Ring, available from Amazon.

the mōmi bottle doesn’t fit in my bottle warmer. what can i do? +
The mōmi nipple and bottle collar are compatible with brand-name and generic standard wide-mouth bottles, including Philips Avent plastic, Chicco Duo, and Maymom, among others. Standard-shaped bottles from these manufacturers can allow you to use your mōmi nipple with a standard bottle warmer.
