Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, the cartridge contains less than 100 ml (46 ml to be exact). We recommend that you either insert the warm in the heating chamber as described above or bring the original packaging to document its use. However, from a iiamo user we have learned some airport authorities have subjective rules and may find the cartridge a hazard or the heating process too mysterious, in which case they take the position "better safe than sorry", so iiamo cannot guarantee that it will go through security in all cases.

No. iiamo go contains a so-called heat chamber into which iiamo warm (the heater) is placed. The heat chamber is made of stainless steel, and all microwave oven producers discourage the use of steel in microwave ovens. When using the ordinary bottom, iiamo more, however, the iiamo go can very well be used to heat the milk in the microwave oven.

Yes. iiamo warm can without a bad conscience be disposed of in any bin, as iiamo warm is made with a view to using as little plastic as possible – in fact only 14 g (plus salt and water), the weight corresponding to less than half of an empty ½ liter water bottle. In addition, iiamo warm is made of the plastic material polypropylene (PP) which is considered one of the most environmentally friendly types of plastic. PP does not lead to any material strain on the environment and after complete combustion it leads to emission of only CO2 and water.

We recommend that the heater should not be removed from iiamo go (bottle) until the heater has cooled down, as an activated heater can reach a temperature of up to 100° C. DO NOT remove the cartridge while active/in use.

iiamo flow has a built-in anti-colic ventilation system, which means that bottle and teat can adjust the intake of air to prevent vacuum in the bottle. Research indicates a connection between vacuum in the bottle and colic, which is thus prevented by iiamo go.

No. iiamo go has been designed so that the bottle can be disassembled and put together again easily and simply, so that the bottle easily can be cleaned manually or in the dishwasher without using a special washing-up brush, etc.

No!

No!

iiamo go will keep the temperature at approximately 37° C for about 15-20 minutes depending on the surrounding environment.

Yes. All iiamo products have been tested in cooperation with DHI Group and the Danish Consumer Lab (ForbrugerLaboratoriet), and all iiamo products observe the current standards ( European Standards EN 1400 and EN 14350 and other appropriate standards) regulating safety requirements for teats, feeding bottles and other baby products. iiamo more and iiamo drink comply with and are tested according to European Standard BS EN 14350-1-2. iiamo peace comply with and is tested according to European Standard BS EN 1400-1-2-3. iiamo string comply with and is tested according to European Standard BS EN 12586. Most importantly, iiamo sets its own, even higher, standards which are more extensive than the international standards. We do not allow the use of BPA.

To ensure that the cap sits firmly on the bottle the iiamo go bottle has been designed with two snaps on the broad side of the bottle. To obtain easy removal of the cap/lid it is recommended to snap off the cap/lid from the most upper side on the narrow side of the bottle.

Put the iiamo warm inside the heating chamber and screw on the bottom trigger with the trigger mechanism pointing outside – see below illustration:

When the heater is new, it is possible to hear a rattling sound from the dry salt. But if the heater has been used, the salt will have dissolved in the water, and there will be no rattle but the sound of water floating inside the cartridge.

The most important thing is to test the temperature of the milk before you give the milk to your baby. iiamo go is designed so that a heater corresponds precisely to warming up the milk to 37 degrees (body temperature) when the start temperature for the milk is room temperature (about 18-21 degrees), and the bottle is filled completely (1/1). If the milk or the water is colder or warmer, or if the bottle is not filled completely, the result will vary, so please always check the temperature of the milk before serving it.

iiamo go can warm milk to the mandatory temperature (37 ° C) without electricity, without cords, without restrictions. The secret is a heater containing only salt (CaCl2) and water.

It is important to note that the salt and water mixture in the iiamo warm cartridge have been based on the assumption that the milk has room temperature when filled into the bottle and that the go bottle is filled with 170-180 ml. to achieve the 37°C in approximately 4 minutes.

It is also important to mention that the bottle must be shaken/reversed immediately after activation of the heating cartridge and a few times during the process to make sure that water and salt is properly mixed and the heat is evenly distributed. The iiamo warm cartridge will continue to generate heat in approximately 20 minutes and thus keep the milk warm if not immediately consumed by the baby.

It may sound weird, but the heat originates from the reaction between water and salt - i.e. the formation of salt water, or more correctly from the rehydration heat from dried salt. The secret is that salt really likes water. And in this case, we have dried the salt in the heater (iiamo warm) to an unnaturally high percentage of dryness – i.e. that practically all the water has been driven out of the salt. In order to drive the water out of the salt, energy has been used for evaporation, and this energy is released when water is added to the salt again when the heater is activated.

iiamo go is suitable for the dishwasher and also stands boiling and sterilization. However, you may extend the lifetime of the heat chamber component by washing this stainless steel part by hand. Also, please remember that stainless steel cannot be used in a microwave oven.

Once – iiamo warm is a disposable heater. Once the salt and water has been mixed it is impossible to separate again.

Most parents use iiamo go primarily when they are on the go and away from home where they have access to conventional heating sources. You therefore do not use iiamo go 5-6 a day but only when e.g. you are enjoying a café latte in a café which makes the overall cost of iiamo go insignificant. If you compare the cost of iiamo warm to your coffee, the benefits of feeding your baby a warm meal at the same time as you enjoy your latte peacefully far outweighs the cost.

No. The entire secret is that the content of iiamo warm (heater) is salt (CaCl2) and water – i.e. salt water and therefore not dangerous. This does not mean, however, that you should drink from the heater, as the salt concentration is very strong.

The name iiamo has its inspiration from the Italian word “andiamo” which can be translated into the international concept 'let's go' – an encouragement to take action, physically or mentally. iiamo would like to encourage and inspire parents to live a 'life after birth' because the most important job for a mom and dad – apart from loving their child unconditionally – is in our opinion to inspire their children, which is not possible without getting inspiration for themselves.

This is why we are developing innovative baby products which will make your everyday life a little easier, which will make it easier to be a mom and dad. That is why we are developing baby products without BPA, parabens, phthalates, perfume and other harmful substances. That is why we are designing products for parents and babies in cooperation with the world's leading industrial designer. So – go to a café with your baby, go flying, go on a picnic, go to the forest, anywhere anytime !

BPA stands for bisphenol-A and is a hormone disturbing substance which the majority of feeding bottles contains. The list of harmful consequences of the use of bisphenol-A in feeding bottles and other baby products is becoming endless. Scientists throughout the world have among other things found the following side effects of BPA:

• reduced learning ability
• increased risk of heart disease and vascular disorders
• increased risk of diabetes
• carcinogenic (including breast and prostate cancer and ovarian cancer)
• generally hormone disturbing
• damage to the uterus
• reduced sperm quality
• reduced brain development

The Danish National Board of Health recommends that parents should choose feeding bottles without BPA, but unfortunately the sale of products with BPA has not yet been banned. Link: http://www.foodsafetynews.com/2011/10/california-bpa-ban-signed-by-gov-brown/

iiamo go is made in Denmark. The plastic parts and the stainless steel heating chamber are made in Denmark and only the silicone teat is produced in China. The iiamo warm heater is manufactured in the Czech Republic.

All our teats are made of 100% BPA-free silicone.

iiamo go is made of the plastic material polypropylene (PP) which is considered one of the cleanest and most environmentally friendly types of plastic. After complete combustion, PP only leads to the emission of CO2 and water. In addition, PP does not contain BPA (Bisphenol-A).

iiamo's own symmetric teat, iiamo flow, should of course ideally be used with iiamo go, and our teat is available in four different varieties: 0m+, 1m+, 3m+ and 6m+. However, most other major brands of teats are also compatible with the iiamo go bottle.

All iiamo products have been designed by Karim Rashid. Karim is one of the world's most acknowledged industrial designers, has won numerous awards for his designs, and has created significant new products from lamps, furniture and perfume bottles to art and hotels for among others Herman Miller, Cappellini, Prada, Issey Miyake, Audi and Method. iiamo has proudly entered into global exclusivity with Karim for all baby care products, and we look forward to work with Karim on developing more amazing products under the iiamo baby care brand. Read more about Karim here and here.

iiamo was founded by two Danish dads, Rasmus Schmiegelow and Nikolaj Leonhard-Hjorth and a number of Danish investors.

The bottle is designed so that all sizes of hands can easily hold and control the bottle. The angled neck has been created to provide different serving positions and make it even easier and less strenuous to use the feeding bottle – for both parents and children.

As iiamo insists on not using any chemicals in warm we have not yet found a solution which does not require some kind additional treatment or additive.

iiamo stands for easy living and therefore the chosen heating principle of iiamo favors convenience and flexibility for parents on the go. No extra process to recharge, easy handling – just insert a new cartridge with every meal. iiamo go is made of the plastic material polypropylene (PP) which is considered one of the cleanest and most environmentally friendly types of plastic. After complete combustion, PP only leads to the emission of CO2 and water. In addition, PP does not contain BPA (Bisphenol-A).

Almost all health organizations, including WHO, agree that breast milk or breast milk substitute should be served at a temperature of 37 ° C – i.e. corresponding to body temperature. The primary reason is that cold milk will cool down the baby, and the baby will subsequently need to spend a lot of energy warming up the milk.

There are two possibilities: either you have forgotten to insert the sealing disk after pouring milk into the bottle or the connector has been screwed on crooked to the bottle. You can remedy the latter by unscrewing the connector, dismantle and remantle the teat and screw on the connector again.

Due to the volume of the heating chamber iiamo go has no more room than 180 ml or else the size of the feeding bottle will become unpractical. However, if your baby requires a bigger meal than 180 ml. you can add more milk once your baby has taken some of the milk, as the iiamo warm heating cartridge will continue to heat the milk for approximately 20 minutes after being activated. If you use iiamo go with the flat bottom add-on accessory iiamo more, the bottle can contain 380 ml.

It started when the two passionate entrepreneurs got a really good idea, a self-warming feeding bottle, and a patent. Then they were both hit hard by the challenges of becoming parents. They then started asking the questions asked by all parents. Is this product safe? What does this one contain? Why do all feeding bottles contain BPA? They also discovered that most products are, in fact, not safe, and that the baby industry is taking a really long time to wake up to the dangers. But if you are a parent you don’t want to wait – it has to be completely safe now.

They also discovered that is it not only about children. It is also about parents. They discovered that if parents do not look after themselves and respect their own needs, both parents and children will suffer. They discovered that happy mom = happy baby. This is why iiamo is all about easy living!
