Frequently Asked Questions - AVENT SCF703 PHILIPS

How to sterilize the Philips AVENT SCF703 baby bottle?

You can sterilize the bottle and its accessories by immersing them in boiling water for 5 minutes, or by using a Philips Avent sterilizer. Before first use, wash all parts in warm soapy water and rinse thoroughly.

Which nipple flow rate to choose for my baby?

The nipples offer numbered flows from 0 (newborn) to 4 (6 months+), as well as a variable flow nipple (I, II, III). For a baby who chokes, use a lower flow; if they fall asleep or get fussy, choose a higher flow.

Can I warm milk in the microwave?

It is not recommended to use a microwave to warm milk or baby food, as it can create hot spots and destroy nutrients. If you do, remove the ring, nipple, and cap, stir well, and check the temperature before serving.

Place the cap vertically on the bottle so that the nipple is straight. To remove the cap, place your thumb on the dimple. Assemble the nipple by twisting it upward until its bottom part is perfectly joined with the collar.

Nipple

-For hygiene reasons, we recommend replacing nipples after 3 months.

-Keep nipples in a dry, covered container.

-Do not leave a feeding nipple in direct sunlight or heat, or leave in disinfectant ('sterilizing solution') for longer than recommended, as this may weaken the nipple.

Before first use

-Disassemble all parts, clean and sterilize the product by placing in boiling water for 5 minutes or sterilize by using a Philips Avent sterilizer. This is to ensure hygiene.

-During sterilizing with boiling water, prevent the cup or other parts from touching the side of the pan. This can cause irreversible product deformation, defect or damage that Philips cannot be held liable for.

Assembly

When you assemble the bottle, make sure you place the cap vertically onto the bottle so that the nipple sits upright (see image for more details). To remove the cap, place your hand over the cap and your thumb in the dimple of the cap. The nipple is easier to assemble if you wriggle it upwards instead of pulling

it up in a straight line. Make sure you pull the nipple through until its lower part is even with the screw ring.

Cleaning

-Clean all parts before each use.
-After every use, take all items apart, wash in warm soapy water and rinse thoroughly. Then sterilize using a Philips Avent sterilizer or boil for 5 minutes. Make sure that you wash your hands thoroughly and that the surfaces are clean before contact with sterilized components.
-Excessive concentration of detergents may eventually cause plastic components to crack. Should this occur, replace immediately.
-Dishwasher safe - food colorings may discolor components.

Glass natural bottle

Glass bottles may break. Do not use metal inside the bottle to stir contents or for cleaning. This can damage the glass on the inside of the bottle. Before each use, inspect bottles for sharp edges or glass fragments inside. Do not use bottles if there are any cracks on or glass fragments in the bottle. Do not let babies drink unsupervised with this bottle. Do not use handles with glass bottles. Prolonged wear or development of scratches may lead to breakage.

Choosing the right nipple for your baby
