3. Fill the bottle with breast milk or formula.
4. Place the cap on the bottle to keep the nipple clean during transport.

Understanding Nipple Flow Rates

The set includes nipples with different flow rates (Flow 2 - Slow, Flow 3 - Medium) to accommodate your baby's feeding needs. The Natural Response nipple is designed to release milk only when your baby actively drinks, similar to breastfeeding. It is normal for your baby to take 2-3 tries to get milk flowing from a new bottle. Age is a guide, but observe your baby's feeding cues to determine the appropriate flow rate.

• Flow 2 (Slow): Suitable for younger babies or those who prefer a slower flow.
• Flow 3 (Medium): Suitable for babies who are ready for a slightly faster flow.

Using Pacifiers and Holder

The set includes Soothie (0-3 months) and Ultra Soft (0-6 months) pacifiers, both made from hospital-grade silicone. The snuggle pacifier holder helps keep pacifiers accessible and provides comfort for your baby.

Operating

Feeding with Natural Response Nipple

The unique design of the Natural Response nipple allows your baby to control the flow of milk, just like during breastfeeding. Milk is released only when your baby actively compresses the nipple and creates suction. When your baby pauses to swallow and breathe, the milk flow stops, preventing gulping and promoting a comfortable feeding experience.

Combining Breast and Bottle Feeding

The wide, soft, and flexible nipple mimics the shape and feel of a breast, making it easy to combine breast and bottle feeding. This design helps the baby latch on comfortably and maintain their natural feeding rhythm.

Maintenance

Cleaning Instructions

Proper cleaning of all components is essential for hygiene. All parts of the Philips Avent Natural bottles are dishwasher safe for convenience.

1. Disassemble all bottle components (bottle, nipple, screw ring, cap).
2. Use the included bottle brush to thoroughly clean all parts with warm soapy water. The curved brush head is designed for easy cleaning of rounded bottle edges, and the molded tip cleans the nipple effectively.
3. Rinse all components thoroughly with clean water.
4. Allow parts to air dry on a clean drying rack or use a clean cloth.

Sterilizing

For optimal hygiene, sterilize all components before first use and periodically thereafter. The set includes 5 microwave steam sterilizer bags for quick and effective sterilization.

• Follow the instructions provided with the microwave steam sterilizer bags for proper use.
• Alternatively, components can be sterilized by boiling in water for 5 minutes or using a dedicated electric steam sterilizer.

Storage

The Philips Avent bottles can be converted into storage containers using sealing discs. This is useful for storing breast milk or formula.

Troubleshooting

Milk Flow Rate Issues

• Milk leaking from baby's mouth or baby gulping: This may indicate the flow rate is too fast. Try a nipple with a lower flow rate (e.g., Flow 1 - Extra Slow, if available, or ensure you are using Flow 2).
• Baby seems frustrated or playing with the nipple instead of drinking: This may indicate the flow rate is too slow. Consider moving to a higher flow rate nipple (e.g., Flow 3 - Medium).
• Always ensure the nipple is correctly assembled and the anti-colic valve is clear.

Colic and Discomfort

The Philips Avent Natural bottles feature an anti-colic valve designed to keep air away from your baby's tummy during feeding, which helps to reduce colic and discomfort. If your baby experiences excessive fussiness or gas, ensure the anti-colic valve is clean and functioning properly. Consult a healthcare professional if concerns persist.
