Hegen PCTO™ Basic Starter Kit PPSU is a kit consisting of 2 milk feeding bottles with storage lids. This kit is perfect for nursing mothers to collect breastmilk in the bottle, store it, swap the lid with the collar and teat as and when they need to feed baby. Zero transfering of milk ensures zero wastage. Use this kit if you want to be able to store and feed milk as and when you want.

- Built-in anti-colic air venting bypasses the milk to prevent aeration, minimising the oxidation of precious nutrients. This reduces excessive air intake and safeguards baby from tummy upsets.
- Super-soft elliptical-shaped silicone teat closely mimics the lactating breast of mothers to simulate a natural latching experience, minimising nipple confusion and making it easier to combine breast and bottle feeding.
- Off-centre teat allows baby to feed in a natural upright position, reducing the risk of milk back-flow which may cause mid-ear complications.
- Growing with your baby, the storage containers can also be used as a snack cup or to store baby food, semi-solids, puree, biscuits, fruits or even juices!

- Do not boil bottles for more than 3 minutes.
STERILISING
- Should you choose to sterilise by an electric steam steriliser, the sterilising instructions of the sterilisation devices should be carefully observed. All components should be completely taken apart to avoid different reactions of materials which can cause deformation. As our PPSU bottles are able to withstand -20°C up to 180°C in temperature; please do remember to check that your steriliser does not exceed the aforementioned temperature range.
- We recommend waiting at least 15 minutes between sterilisation cycles"
USAGE

- Avoid opening storage containers immediately after taking out from the refrigerator or freezer. Allow it a few minutes to reach room temperature before opening. Alternatively, put storage containers in a bowl and pour hot water over it to reduce waiting time.

Why am I having difficulty opening the lids of breast milk storage containers that have been taken out from freezer / refrigerator?
At lower temperatures, materials can sometimes experience contraction and expansion at different rates. Let the containers sit in open air for awhile before opening. If you’re in a hurry, try pouring hot / warm water over the lid so that it can expand a little and loosen before opening.
