Frequently Asked Questions
About Our Bottle
What is the Shimi system made of?
All of our materials are selected for safety, durability and great performance at home and when you’re traveling with baby formula. Our bottle is crystal-clear, ultra-durable Tritan, which has been tested extensively for resistance to physical degradation and chemical leaching, even at high temperatures. Our secure formula pod and collar are made of BPA-free polypropylene. The Shimi nipple is food-grade silicone, free of BPA, PVC and phthalates.
Can Shimi go in the dishwasher and microwave?
Yes, the Shimi bottle, pod, collar and nipple can be washed on the top rack of the dishwasher. All parts of the Shimi system can go in the microwave for sterilization. Prepared feeding bottles should not be heated in the microwave due to the risk of uneven heating and potentially harmful hot spots.
How should I clean and sterilize my Shimi?
Easy cleaning is just one of the things that makes Shimi the best bottle for formula fed babies. Shimi’s wide neck was specifically designed for easy washing and drying, with no cracks and crevices that could trap germs. Please clean Shimi before first use: Disassemble and wash all parts in warm, soapy water, then rinse and dry thoroughly. Or run through the dishwasher on the top rack.
You can sterilize Shimi by boiling, or using microwave steam cleaner. Always disassemble the bottle before sterilizing.
Is Shimi compatible with bottle warmers and sterilizers?
Shimi is compatible with most sterilizers and may fit in some bottle warmers. However, we can’t guarantee that Shimi is compatible with all bottle warmers.
Can I use Shimi with breast milk?
Absolutely! Even though Shimi is the best bottle for formula fed babies, it works great for breast milk, too. Use it with breastmilk just as you would a traditional baby bottle.
How often does Shimi need to be replaced?
Depending on use and care, the Shimi system, like all baby bottles, should be replaced about every six months.
