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.

Choosing the right teat for your baby

The Philips Avent teats are 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 (see image). 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.
