- Replace nipples after about 2 months, or sooner if they show signs of wear.
Never
- Microwave any part.
- Put any part in the freezer.

If the Puck flashes red
Rapid flashing red lights are a heating warning. Remove the bottle, check the liquid temperature, then place it back on the Puck.

Storing milk in the Dome
The Insulating Thermal Dome keeps milk cool for up to 4 hours at home or on the go.⁴ High temperatures and warm surroundings shorten that time. Follow your formula's instructions, and check with your pediatrician on how long to store milk or formula.

³ Ensure formula powder is mixed before warming. This product is not designed to warm thickened baby formulas like rice cereal, bean gum, corn flour, or other formulas containing milk thickeners.
⁴ Duration may vary based on the individual's environment, milk/formula type, and usage. Milk and formula guidelines vary. Safe storage time for formula may be shorter. Consult with your pediatrician on safe milk/formula consumption and how to safely store milk/formula. Follow formula instructions. High temperatures and ambient conditions will decrease the length of time milk/formula can be stored using the Insulating Dome.
