Usage Tips

Hegen creates a seamless breastfeeding journey for both mother and child, with products that are intuitively easy to use, and easy enough to clean.

Cleaning

  • To prolong the usage of our bottles, we recommend thoroughly cleaning the bottle with detergent that is not diluted to ensure that all grease or oil residue is completely removed before undergoing any sterilization. Milk or oil residue that undergo heating processes may stain parts permanently.
  • Do remember to clean all sides as well as the base and covers of the bottles.
  • Do not boil bottles for more than 3 minutes.

Sterilizing

  • Should you choose to sterilize by an electric steam sterilizer, the sterilizing instructions of the sterilization 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 sterilizer does not exceed the aforementioned temperature range.
  • We recommend waiting at least 15 minutes between sterilization cycles

Usage

  • Bottles that come into contact with hand cream and/or sun cream may cause the print to fade.
  • 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.

    Proper assembly is required to ensure a leak-free experience. Match the position of the anti-colic air vent to the higher face of the collar with the Hegen logo, then pull the teat through the collar until it is snugly fitted (If you are able to pull the teat outwards through the collar, it is improperly assembled).
