Nipple Flow Rates Explained
Ember offers four nipple options for varying ages and flow rates. As babies grow and get stronger, they will become more efficient at feeding and usually that means they need a faster flow rate. For a parent or caregiver feeding a growing baby, it's important to consider the nipple flow rate and stage of each nipple you choose to use. The nipple flow rate will make a difference, and the proper one will allow your baby to feed more efficiently.
It’s important to monitor each feed for signs your baby is ready for the next level. Some signs to watch for, such as taking longer than usual to finish feeding, falling asleep during feeding, or becoming irritated while feeding, will help alert you that it's time to move up to the next nipple size.
Level 1: Low flow rate that is ideal for babies aged 0 months and over.
Level 2: Medium-low flow rate that is ideal for babies aged 3 months and over.
Level 3: Medium-high flow rate that is ideal for babies aged 6 months and over.
Level 4: High flow rate that is ideal for babies aged 9 months and over.
If your baby prefers Philips Avent™ Natural™ nipples or Dr. Brown’s™ Wide Neck nipples, Ember offers collar/ nipple adapters to use².

Baby Bottles, Nipples, and Collars
Clean parts immediately after use to avoid dried milk residues and to prevent bacterial growth. To avoid spilling, always disassemble the Bottle by holding both the body and end cap firmly, then twisting the collar with the other hand. Pour any remaining contents out before disassembling the body and end cap.
Sanitize the disassembled parts in one of the following ways:
- In boiling water
- Place parts in a saucepan of sufficient capacity to cover all parts.
- Fill with cold water until the parts are well covered.
- Heat it up and allow to boil for 5 minutes.
- Let bottle cool before removing/handling.
- In the top rack of the dishwasher
- All parts of the Bottle including the cap, nipples, collars, bottle bodies, and endcap are dishwasher safe.
- Note: The Smart Warming Puck, Insulating Thermal Dome, and Power Supply are NOT dishwasher safe
- In a common steam-sterilizer
- Always follow your steam-sterilizer’s safety instructions. Do NOT sterilize Smart Warming Puck or Insulating Dome.
Insulating Thermal Dome
The Insulating Thermal Dome is hand wash only. Wash and rinse the Insulating Thermal Dome in warm, soapy water prior to first use and once daily. Rinse in clear water and allow parts to air-dry on a clean towel.
Smart Warming Puck
The Smart Warming Puck is an electronic device and should not be submerged or rinsed under water. Clean the Smart Warming Puck with a damp cloth, baby wipe, or alcohol wipe regularly. Ensure that both the Baby Bottle and Smart Warming Puck are completely dry before placing the Bottle on top of it or connecting the Power Supply.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the Ember Baby Bottle take to heat?
Once the bottle is filled with breastmilk or formula, the Smart Warming Puck can heat a 6oz baby bottle in under 5 minutes. The exact timing of each warming cycle depends on many factors, such as amount of milk/formula, thickness of milk/formula, initial temperature of milk/formula, ambient temperature of the room, resting time between warming cycles, etc. ¹
What temperature does the Ember Baby Bottle heat to?
The Ember Baby Bottle warms to body temperature (approximately 98.6°F). Ember’s patented technology uses triple redundancy protection in the bottle to make sure the liquid temperature is safe. Power will be cut off to the bottle if any of the three protection limit sensors are tripped or the liquid gets too hot. There are also safety circuits to monitor the puck and bottle temperatures and the battery temperature.
Can I warm the Ember Baby Bottle without the Ember Baby App?
Yes! Although the Ember Baby App allows for easy warming remotely from your smartphone, you can still warm the bottle without it. With the filled bottle placed on the Smart Puck, you can simply double press the button to begin warming. Without the app, you will not be notified of when the bottle is ready, but you can see the LEDs on the front of the Smart Puck. Five solid orange lights mean it’s ready for drinking!
How long does the Smart Puck charge last?
A single charge can provide two full warming cycles. The exact number of cycles depends on many factors, such as amount of milk/formula, thickness of milk/formula, initial temperature of milk/formula, ambient temperature of the room, etc.
If the bottle is left on the Smart Puck after a full warming, the Smart Puck will keep the milk warm for up to 30 minutes, until powering off the heater.
In sleep mode, a full charge can last more than 2 months.
