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 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 Plus 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.
Ordering accessories
To buy accessories or spare parts, visit www.philips.com/parts-and-accessories or go to your Philips dealer. You can
also contact the Philips Consumer Care Center in your country.
When you order spare teats, make sure that you use a teat with the correct ow rate for your baby (see ‘Choosing the right
teat for your baby’) and do not mix Philips Avent Anti-colic bottle parts and teats with parts of the Philips Avent Natural
bottles. They do not t and could cause leakage or other issues.
