Assembly

When you assemble the bottle, make sure you place the cap vertically onto the bottle so that the teat sits upright (see image for more details). To remove the cap, place your hand over the cap and your thumb in the dimple of the cap. The teat is easier to assemble if you wriggle it upwards instead of pulling it up in a straight line. Make sure you pull the teat through until its lower part is even with the screw ring
