Why do Tommee Tippee bottles leak?
Why do my Advanced Anti Colic Bottles leak? If water is too hot when you put it in the bottle, it can enter the straw and travel up to the air hole on the screw ring, causing a leak. The solution is to let the water cool for a while after it’s boiled, before you pour it in.
