3. Shromáždění:
   • Insert the one-way valve into the base of the teat. Ensure it is seated firmly.

Návod k obsluze

1. Positioning the Teat: Observe the three lines on the teat. These lines indicate different flow rates. Position the line corresponding to the desired flow rate under the baby's nose. One line for slow flow, two for medium, and three for fast flow.
2. Initiating Feeding: Gently place the teat in the baby's mouth. The baby's suckling action will draw milk through the one-way valve.
3. Assisted Flow (if needed): If the baby is having difficulty drawing milk, gently squeeze the bottle to assist the flow. Coordinate squeezing with the baby's suckling rhythm.
4. Sledování: Continuously monitor the baby's feeding, ensuring they are swallowing comfortably and not showing signs of distress. Adjust the flow rate or assistance as needed.
5. Přestávky: Allow the baby to take breaks during feeding. The one-way valve prevents milk from dripping, allowing the baby to rest without losing milk.
