FAQs

What age range is the Philips Avent ultra start soother for?

The Philips Avent ultra start soother is recommended for newborns aged 0-2 months, but can be safely used by babies up to 6 months old.

How do I sterilize the soother using the case?

Place the soothers and case in the microwave with 25ml of water. Microwave for 3 minutes at 700-1000W. Let it cool for 5 minutes before use. Do not seal the case lid completely during microwaving.

What materials is this soother made from?

The soother is made from silicone for the nipple and features 80% plant-based materials in its construction. It is free from BPA, BPS, PVC, and Phthalates.

How often should I replace the soother?

It's recommended to inspect the soother regularly for any signs of wear or damage. Replace the soother if the silicone teat shows any signs of tearing, stickiness, or discoloration to ensure safety.

Can I use this soother for a baby older than 2 months?

Yes, while optimized for 0-2 month olds, the Philips Avent ultra start soother can be safely used for babies up to 6 months of age.

Does the high teat acceptance rate guarantee my baby will use it?

The 98% teat acceptance rate indicates a very high likelihood that babies will accept this soother, but individual baby preferences can vary.

Are there other sizes available?

The Philips Avent range includes different sizes tailored for various age groups. The SCF075/12 is specifically the 'ultra start' model for newborns.

Troubleshooting

Soother won't stay in baby's mouth

Ensure the soother is the correct size for your newborn. The ultra start model is specifically designed to be small and light for this age group. Try offering it during a calm moment rather than when the baby is overly distressed.

Baby is not accepting the soother

Babies have preferences. While 98% acceptance is high, not every baby will take to it immediately. Try different times of day or introduce it when the baby is drowsy. Ensure the teat is clean and dry.

Difficulty with microwave sterilization

Ensure you are following the instructions precisely: 25ml of water, 3 minutes microwave time for 700-1000W. Make sure the case lid is slightly ajar or not fully sealed during the process to allow steam to escape. Allow adequate cooling time.

Soother appears damaged or worn

Inspect the silicone teat regularly for any signs of wear, tearing, or stickiness. Discontinue use and replace the soother immediately if any damage is found to prevent choking hazards.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Philips Avent ultra start soothers come ready for use. The included sterilizing case can be used for both storage and sterilization.

Sterilization: To sterilize, place both soothers and the case in the microwave. Add 25ml of water to the case. Microwave for 3 minutes at 700-1000W. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before carefully removing the soothers. Ensure the case lid is not fully sealed during microwaving.

Care: Wash the soothers before first use and after each subsequent use. They can be washed by hand with warm water and mild soap, or placed in the top rack of a dishwasher. Ensure they are thoroughly rinsed. The sterilizing case should also be cleaned regularly with warm water and mild soap.

Compatibility: This soother is designed for newborns aged 0-2 months but can be safely used up to 6 months. It is compatible with the sterilizing case provided. Always check that the soother size is appropriate for your baby's age and development.
