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.
Always stir or shake heated breast milk to ensure even heat distribution and test the temperature
before serving.
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 available with dierent ow 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 ow 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 ow rate if your baby falls asleep during feeding, gets frustrated or if
feeding takes very long.
Philips Avent Natural teats are clearly numbered on the side, to indicate ow 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.
Compatibility
The Philips Avent single/double electric breast pump is compatible with all baby bottles in the Philips
Avent Natural range and Philips Avent Storage cups with adapter. We do not recommend using the
Philips Avent Natural Glass bottles with the breast pump.
