Setup, Compatibility & Care
Proper setup, understanding compatibility, and diligent care are crucial for the hygiene and longevity of your Philips AVENT Natural Response Baby Bottle.
Setup Instructions:
- Disassemble: Before first use and after each subsequent use, completely disassemble all parts: bottle, Natural Response teat, screw ring, and AirFree vent.
- Clean: Wash all components thoroughly with warm, soapy water. Use a bottle brush for the bottle interior and a small brush for the teat and AirFree vent components.
- Sterilize: Sterilize all parts using one of the recommended methods:
- Boiling: Place all components in boiling water for 5 minutes.
- Steam Sterilizer: Use a Philips AVENT steam sterilizer or another compatible steam sterilizer.
- Dishwasher: Ensure parts are placed on the top rack, using a dishwasher-safe cycle.
- Assemble:
- Insert the AirFree vent into the bottle, ensuring it clicks securely into place.
- Pull the Natural Response teat through the screw ring until it fits snugly.
- Screw the assembled teat and ring onto the bottle securely.
- Fill the bottle with prepared formula or breast milk.
Compatibility:
- The Philips AVENT Natural Response Baby Bottle is compatible with all Philips AVENT Natural Response teats (sold separately), allowing you to adjust flow rates as your baby grows.
- The bottle body can be used with other Philips AVENT breast pumps and storage lids.
- The AirFree vent is specifically designed for the Natural Response range and should be used with its corresponding parts for optimal performance.
Care & Maintenance:
- Always inspect teats before each use for any signs of wear, tears, or damage, and replace immediately if found.
- Ensure all parts are completely dry before storing to prevent mildew or odors.
- Store bottles and teats in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight or heat.
- Avoid using abrasive cleaning agents or scrubbers, which can scratch the bottle or damage the teat.
