Make sure that you wash your hands thoroughly and that the surfaces are clean before contact
with cleaned components. Excessive concentration of detergents may eventually cause plastic
components to crack. Should this occur, replace immediately. Inspect the bottle and feeding nipple
before each use and pull the feeding nipple in all directions to prevent a choking hazard. Throw away
any part at the first signs of damage or weakness.

Assembling bottles

When you assemble the bottle, make sure you place the dome cap vertically onto the bottle so that
the nipple sits upright (Fig. 26). To remove the dome cap, place your hand over the dome cap and
your thumb in the dimple of the dome cap (Fig. 27). The nipple is easier to assemble if you wriggle it
upwards instead of pulling it up in a straight line (Fig. 28). Make sure you pull the nipple through until
its surface is level with the surface of the screw ring (Fig. 29).

Heating breast milk

If you use frozen breast milk, let it defrost completely before you heat it.
Note: In case of an emergency, you can defrost the milk in a bowl of hot water.
Heat the bottle or storage cup 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 or remove the lid from the
storage cup.
Always stir or shake heated food to ensure even heat distribution and test the temperature before
serving. Take extra care when you heat up food in a microwave as heating food in a microwave oven
may produce localized high temperatures.
Note: We do not recommend heating breast milk in the microwave because when breast milk
becomes too warm, nutrients and vitamins are damaged.
Note: You can purchase and use Philips Avent bottle warmer to heat up the milk.

Maintenance and storage of bottles

Inspect the bottle and feeding nipple before each use and pull the feeding nipple in all directions to
prevent a choking hazard. Throw away at the first signs of damage or weakness. For hygiene reasons,
we recommend replacing nipples after 3 months. Keep nipples in a dry, covered container. When not
in use, do not leave the nipples in sunlight or heat, or leave in disinfectant ('sterilizing solution') for
longer than recommended, as this may weaken the nipple. Do not place in a heated oven. Store the
bottles in a dry location.

Additional information

The Philips Avent nipples are available with different flow rates to help your baby with drinking. Over
time, you can change the nipple to accomodate the individual needs of your baby.
