ÉLHÉE BABY BOTTLES

What are the benefits of the Élhée bottle?

The Élhée baby bottle is a new concept of a "healthy, sensory and designer" silicone baby bottle, designed in every detail by a mother, to allow other mothers to bottle feed their child exclusively or with mixed breastfeeding, with complete peace of mind. , without complexes or guilt. The benefits of the Élhée silicone baby bottle are:

- Its “100% Clean” composition in medical silicone. The Élhée baby bottle does not contain bisphenol (0% BPA, BPS, BPF), or other substances likely to harm the health of babies, such as lead, PVC, phthalate, nistrosamine, cadmium, heavy metals, etc.
It is non-allergenic and is perfectly suited to food contact. In addition, its unique and patented closing system excludes any risk of contact of milk and its nutrients with materials other than those of the bottle, the anti-colic teat and the silicone sealing disc = ZERO risk of migration of plastic microparticles into your baby's milk.

- Its “ultra-efficient” anti-colic system. The patented design of the Élhée baby bottle in soft silicone combined with a ventilation system integrated into the teat allows for better air circulation and prevents the child from gas and bloating. It is twice as effective as a rigid bottle in preventing infant colic. No more feelings of discomfort, sometimes painful, linked to babies' transit and digestion.

- Its sensory design as close as possible to breastfeeding. Thanks to its pure design and its subtle and delicate texture similar to that of the mother's breast, the Élhée bottle allows those who wish to combine natural breastfeeding and bottle feeding.

Before and after each use of the Élhée baby bottle, we recommend that you remove the teat from the upper ring and completely disassemble it to clean it carefully for hygienic reasons. Dismantling the different elements allows for more hygienic cleaning of your baby bottle.

Can I wash the Élhée baby bottle in the dishwasher?

For better preservation of your bottle, careful cleaning using a bottle brush in hot, soapy water is ideal.

Then let the detached parts dry on a clean cloth, the bottle turned over with the silicone collar raised so that it dries in every nook and cranny.

Opt for an organic, fragrance-free cleaning product to prevent the bottle from taking on the smell of dishwashing detergent.

Élhée baby bottles are dishwasher safe. Be careful, however, that the dishwasher does not contain tomato sauce, carrot/squash puree or spices such as curry which could tint the silicone of your baby bottle.

Chicco SterilNatural 2 in 1

What is the purpose of the seal in the box of my Elhée baby bottle?

The cover in the box of your baby bottle is used to make it perfectly airtight so it can be mixed or transported without risk of leaking. The cover is positioned on the base of the bottle, before screwing on the ring and the teat.

You can also transform the bottle into a small airtight container (or small pot) for puree or compote by removing the teat from the colored ring and placing the cover on the base of the bottle.

Is the Élhée baby bottle compatible with the microwave?

Yes, the Élhée baby bottle is microwave compatible but be careful of the risk of burns: Check the temperature of the milk on the palm of your hand beforehand.

However, it is not recommended to use the microwave to warm breast milk because this method alters the nutritional components of the milk.

Is the Élhée bottle only for breastfed babies?

The Élhée special breastfeeding bottle is excellent for helping breastfed babies to easily switch to a bottle or for mixed breastfeeding. But they are also designed for all babies, even non-breastfed babies, from birth.

Élhée baby bottles are equipped with a medium flow physiological teat, perfectly suited to non-breastfed babies from birth.

Is the Élhée bottle suitable for mixed breastfeeding?

The Élhée nursing bottle is perfectly suited to breastfed babies. The soft and extra-soft texture of the physiological pacifier offers sensations close to breastfeeding. The enlarged base of the pacifier reproduces in particular the natural sucking position and the shape of the nipple. We offer slow flow teats specially designed for breastfed or premature babies. Its adapted drilling regulates the flow which encourages infants to exert the same sucking effort as at the breast and thus avoid the risk of breast/pacifier confusion.

My bottle is leaking, any recommendations?

If the milk leaks from the bottle, you must first check that the silicone collar is properly fitted on the sides of the white screw ring. Once the teat and the outer screw ring (colored) are correctly assembled, then screw the upper and lower parts of the bottle securely.

Where is the Élhée baby bottle designed and manufactured?

The Élhée baby bottle is a French product, from design to manufacturing. It is designed with high standards, with the greatest respect for people, the environment and biodiversity.
The elements, accessories and packaging of the baby bottle (with the exception of the teat) are made in Rhône-Alpes. Élhée has chosen a physiological pacifier most suited to the comfort and good oral development of your child, its manufacturing has been entrusted to the care of a team of German experts.
The entire production chain, from choosing the quality of raw materials to shipping our finished products, is fully controlled. This is why we guarantee traceability of our products in complete transparency.

What materials is the Élhée baby bottle made of?

Élhée has chosen materials with the highest standards, which are harmless to your baby's health, in order to allow you to bottle-feed with complete peace of mind.

The body of the bottle, the sealing disc and the teats are made of 100% medical grade silicone.

The anti-leak cap, the upper screw ring and the lower ring are made of polypropylene (PP), a plastic that contains no additives, nor bisphenol-A (BPA) or bisphenol-S (BPS).

What are the advantages of medical grade silicone?

The medical grade silicone used to make the Élhée baby bottle is safe for your child's health. This silicone meets US FDA, CPSIA, EN 14350 and BfR standards. It does not contain bisphenol A (BPA) or other substances likely to harm the health of babies, such as its substitute bisphenol S (BPS) or lead, PVC, phthalate, nitrosamine, cadmium, heavy metals, etc.

Unlike plastic, which is a petroleum derivative containing chemical particles with estrogenic activity, silicone poses no risk to the health of babies. It is a stable and non-toxic material derived from silicon, a natural element found in sand and quartz...

The medical grade silicone selected by Elhée is among the purest materials of its generation, used for the manufacture of medical devices. It is certified in compliance with the most demanding pharmacopoeial standards in the health sector.
The Élhée baby bottle is guaranteed without bisphenol, BPA, BPS or BPF and does not release micro plastics. It also has many advantages: flexible, hygienic, and non-sticky, it does not dry out or crack with use.

Resistant to extreme temperatures, it is safe to place in the dishwasher, microwave, sterilizer and freezer.

What is Bisphenol A, S or F?

Bisphenol-A (BPA) is a chemical used primarily for the production of plastic polycarbonate and acts as an estrogen impostor, more widely known as an endocrine disruptor. Studies have linked BPA to depression, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and a number of other conditions.
BPA can be particularly dangerous during pregnancy, infancy, and childhood; its presence has been banned in baby bottles since 2010 in France. This regulation was extended to all food packaging on January 1, 2015. In certain cases, bisphenol-S (BPS) was used as a substitute for BPA, presenting the same toxicity risks as BPA.

Because your child's safety is an absolute priority for Élhée, the Élhée baby bottle contains NO BPA or BPS.

ÉLHÉE PHYSIOLOGICAL TEATS

Which pacifier is best for my baby?

To adapt to the needs of babies, the Élhée pacifier is available in 3 flow rates (S, M, L).

Baby's flow preferences are often linked to how they feed, some are greedy, others need more time.

The information on the flow rates of Élhée pacifiers is provided for information purposes only, the important thing is to follow the baby's needs and rhythm.

One Size (0m+) Slow flow (S): The slow flow is suitable for premature or breastfed babies, in particular to avoid the risk of breast/pacifier confusion.

One size (0-24m+) Medium flow (M): Ideal for babies fed formula.

One size (0-24m+) Dense flow (L): The fast flow is suitable for thick liquids such as thickened milk or cereals.

How to differentiate pacifiers?

The flow rates S, M, L are indicated under the base of the teat. The numbers correspond to those of the manufacturing series, therefore unrelated to the size.

In which direction is the pacifier positioned?

The Élhée pacifier is physiologically shaped and therefore asymmetrical. It has a rounded part, which is placed towards the palate and a flat part which is positioned against the baby's tongue. The anti-colic valve at the base of the pacifier should be placed at the top, under baby's nose.

How often should I change my pacifier?

For hygiene and safety reasons, it is recommended to replace the pacifier after 4 to 8 weeks, depending on its frequency of use. Change it as soon as the first signs of deterioration appear.

Does the teat fit the 3 sizes of Élhée baby bottles?

Yes, all teats can be used on any bottle size in the Élhée range.
