Frequently Asked Questions - AVENT SCF659 PHILIPS

How to sterilize the Philips AVENT SCF659 bottle?

After cleaning, you can sterilize the bottle by immersing it in boiling water for 5 minutes or using a Philips Avent sterilizer. Make sure the parts do not touch the sides of the pot to avoid deformation.

Which nipple flow rate to choose for my baby?

Philips Avent nipples are available in flows 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and variable. Use a low flow if your baby chokes or milk flows too fast. Opt for a higher flow if your baby falls asleep during feeding or gets fussy. Flow 0 is ideal for newborns and breastfed babies.

Can I use the bottle in the microwave?

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

Are bottle parts dishwasher safe?

Yes, plastic components (ring, cap) are dishwasher safe. The glass bottle can also be washed in the dishwasher. However, avoid abrasive or antibacterial detergents that could damage the parts.

How to correctly assemble the nipple?

Place the nipple in the tightening ring by gradually twisting it upwards. Ensure the bottom part of the nipple is perfectly joined to the ring. Then screw the ring onto the bottle, positioning the cap vertically so that the nipple is straight.

How long can breast milk be stored in this bottle?

Expressed breast milk can be stored in sterilized Philips Avent bottles for up to 48 hours in the refrigerator (not in the door) and up to 3 months in the freezer. Never refreeze thawed milk.

Are Philips Avent nipples compatible with other brands?

Natural range nipples only fit Natural range Philips Avent tightening rings. They are not compatible with rings from other brands or Anti-Colic range. Always use matching parts.

How often should I replace the nipple?

For hygiene reasons, it is recommended to replace nipples every 3 months. Inspect them before each use by pulling in all directions and discard them at the first sign of damage or wear.

Can I use handles on the glass bottle?

No, it is not recommended to add handles, spouts or lids to glass bottles as they may break if dropped. Use plastic bottles if you wish to add these accessories.

What to do if milk flows out of the nipple?

This may indicate that the nipple flow rate is too high. Try a nipple with a lower flow (e.g., from 1 to 0). Also ensure that the nipple is correctly assembled and that the tightening ring is not too tight.

For your child's safety and health

Warning!

• Always use this product with adult supervision.

• Never use feeding nipples as a pacifier, to prevent choking hazard.

-Continuous and prolonged sucking of fluids will cause tooth decay.

• Always check food temperature before feeding.

-It is not recommended to use a microwave to warm up baby's food or drinks. Microwaves might alter the quality of food/drinks and destroy some valuable nutrients and it may produce localized high temperatures. Therefore, take extra care if and when you heat up food in a microwave.

• When heating up liquid or food in the microwave, please only place the container without screw ring, nipple and cap. Always stir heated food to ensure even heat distribution and check the temperature before serving.

-Keep all components not in use out of the reach of children.

-Do not allow child to play with small parts or walk/run while using bottles or cups.

-Do not place in a heated oven.

-Drinks other than milk and water, such as fruit juices and flavored sugary drinks are not recommended. If used, they should be well diluted and only used for limited periods, not constantly sipped.

-Expressed breast milk can be stored in sterilized Philips Avent bottles/containers in the refrigerator for up to 48 hours (not in the door) or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Never refreeze breast milk or add fresh breast milk to already frozen milk.

• Always discard any breast milk that is left over at the end of a feed.

-Do not use abrasive cleaning agents or anti-bacterial cleaners. Do not place components directly on surfaces that have been cleaned with anti-bacterial cleaners.

• Plastic material properties may be affected by sterilizing and high temperatures. This can affect the fit of the cap.

-Inspect before each use and pull the feeding nipple in all directions. Throw away any part at the first signs of damage or weakness.

-Do not alter the product or parts of it in any way. This may result in unsafe functioning of the product.

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, makesure you place the cap vertically ontothe 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.
