Twist the cover on securely. Turn the bottle upright before removing the cap. Keep the air valve above the fluid level while feeding. If the valve button is pushed too hard, it may not spring back. This can cause leakage, but often can be repaired by pushing the button back out from inside the lid.
Some babies leak milk around the mouth while feeding.
This is normal, even during breastfeeding. Consulting medical professionals believe that the majority of breastfeeding mothers typically provide less than 6 ounces per feeding, leading us to question the wisdom of using an 8 to 9 ounce bottle which may lead to infant obesity. Smaller, more natural size feedings are believed to be healthier than large feedings which exceed an average mother's ability to produce milk. Lactation consultants or other new mothers in your area may sell Breastbottle nursers, but they are not sold in stores.
