Heating breast milk
If you use frozen breast milk, let it defrost completely before you heat it.
Note: If you need to feed your baby quickly, you can defrost the milk in a bowl of hot water.
Heat the bottle with defrosted or refrigerated breast milk in a bowl of hot water or in a bottle warmer. Remove the screw
ring and sealing disc from the bottle.
Warning: It is not recommended to use a microwave to warm up breast milk. Microwaves might
alter the quality of breast milk and destroy some valuable nutrients and may produce localized high
temperatures. If you heat up breast milk in the microwave, only place the container without screw ring,
teat and cap in microwave. Always stir heated breast milk to ensure even heat distribution and check
the temperature before serving.
Choosing the right teat for your baby
Philips Avent Natural teats are clearly numbered on the side, to indicate flow rate. For more information,
see www.philips.com/avent.
Storing the bottles
-
Store all parts in a dry, clean and covered container.
-
Do not leave a feeding teat in direct sunlight or heat, or leave in disinfectant for longer than recommended because
this may damage the product.
-
For hygiene reasons, we recommend replacing the teats after 3 months.
Philips Avent Natural teats are available with different flow rates. The breast pump comes
with teat number 1. This is a 0m+ teat, ideal for newborn and breastfed babies of all ages.
Use a lower flow rate if your baby chokes often, if milk drips out of its mouth during
feeding or if it has trouble adjusting to the drinking speed. Use a higher flow rate if your
baby falls asleep during feeding, gets frustrated or if feeding takes very long.
