# Why a Haakaa bottle nipple leaks and how to stop it

Why does a Haakaa bottle nipple leak, and how can the leaking be stopped?

Haakaa Generation 3 Silicone Bottle Anti\-Colic Nipple \(S/M/L\) \- 2pcs: A flow rate too slow for the baby can build pressure behind the anti\-colic vent and push milk out of the bottle neck, causing leaks; moving to the next flow level can fix it\. To avoid leaking, push the nipple through the nipple ring, run a finger along the inside rim to check it is flat all round, and screw the top on straight and tight\. Over\-tightening the parts when assembling the bottle can itself cause leaks and may damage the ring\. Haakaa Generation 3 Silicone Bottle Anti\-Colic Nipple: Leaking during feeding can mean the nipple flow is different from what the child needs\. Leaking can also happen if the silicone nipple is not sealed in properly; the nipple must be pushed through the nipple ring and the rim checked to be flat all around\. Over\-tightening the pieces while assembling the bottle can itself cause leaks\. The three flows can be told apart by the hole at the teat tip: one small hole for slow flow, three small holes for medium flow and a criss\-cross X shape for fast/variable flow\. The ring should be twisted on only until resistance is felt, and no further\.

Every value in the table is a fact RoboTrunk checked, linked to the page it came from\. A dash means no checked fact fills that cell\.

Prices and stock change, so this page prints neither: each product name links to its RoboTrunk page, which shows them live\.

This page is published by RoboTrunk, a store built for shopping agents.

The store named on this page sells the product and ships it. RoboTrunk is not
the seller and never holds the money.

Buying works in one path. RoboTrunk's tools prepare a checkout at that store,
then hand back a short-lived link. The person approves the total; once RoboTrunk
has checked the store's total against it, the person is given the checkout link to
tap in their own browser, or, if the person prefers and gives permission, their
agent may open the link and finish there, and payment always happens on the
store's own checkout page. RoboTrunk never takes the payment or sees a card.
