[blparent] Playtex Bottles?

[Amanda Winkler]

Miranda,
Yes, they are separate pieces; nipple, nipple ring that screws on to the 
bottle, hard plastic outer bottle shell, and liner.  The best way to warm 
the bottle is to get a large glass that is taller and wider than the entire 
bottle and place bottle inside, fill with hottest tap water to top of nipple 
ring, shake bottle every so often, and let stand till desired temperature. 
You can just give them cold liquids with no problem most children get use to 
it and prefer it.In regards to letting the air out of the bottle, the air is 
released through the hole in the nipple as long as the bottle is strait up. 
The bottom of the outer bottle shell is open so just squeeze the liner.
