Assembly
When you assemble the bottle, make sure you place
the cap vertically onto the bottle so that the teat
sits upright (see image for more details). The teat is
easier to assemble if you wriggle it upwards instead
of pulling it up in a straight line.
Maintenance teat
Do not leave a feeding teat in direct sunlight or heat,
or leave in disinfectant ('sterilizing solution') for
longer than recommended, as this may weaken the
parts. Keep parts in dry, covered container.
Choosing the right teat for your baby
The Philips Avent teats are separately available with
different flow rates to help your baby with drinking.
Over time you can change the teat accommodating
the individual needs of your baby. Philips Avent teats
are clearly numbered on the side to indicate flow
rate. Make sure you use a teat with the correct flow
rate when you feed your baby. Use a lower flow rate
if your baby chokes, is leaking milk or has trouble
adjusting to the drinking speed. Use a higher flow rate
if your baby falls asleep during feeding, gets frustrated
or when feeding takes a very long time. These Philips
Avent teats can be used on the Philips Avent feeding
bottle and Philips Avent storage cups.
