How to Use:

1. Preparation:
   • Clean the bottle cap and nipple thoroughly before the first use and after each feeding session.
   • Fill the calf milk bottle with the appropriate amount of milk, colostrum, or electrolyte solution, using the graduated markings for accurate measurement.
2. Assembly:
   • Attach the cap securely to the top of the filled bottle, ensuring it fits snugly to prevent any leaks.
   • Check that the nipple is properly positioned and the vent hole (if present) is clear to allow smooth milk flow.
3. Feeding:
   • Hold the bottle at a slight angle to ensure the nipple is filled with milk, preventing the calf from ingesting air.
   • Gently guide the nipple into the calf’s mouth, allowing it to suckle naturally.
   • Monitor the calf’s feeding, making sure it is comfortable and the milk is flowing smoothly.
4. Post-Feeding Care:
   • Disassemble the cap and nipple from the bottle after feeding.
   • Clean all parts thoroughly with warm, soapy water, and rinse well.
   • Sterilize the nipple regularly to maintain hygiene.
   • Allow all parts to dry completely before reassembling for the next use.
5. Storage:
   • Store the bottle cap and nipple in a clean, dry place when not in use, ensuring they are ready for the next feeding session.
