Philips Avent Soft Silicone Natural Response Nipple 3m+ SCY964/02, 2 pieces

• Milk Release Mechanism: Releases milk only when the baby drinks, mirroring natural breastfeeding.
• Natural Drinking Pace: Babies can drink, swallow, and breathe at their own pace, just like during breastfeeding, supporting a smoother transition between breast and bottle.
• Breast-like Design: The nipple is wide, soft, and flexible, designed to resemble a woman’s breast. This design helps the baby to latch on comfortably and naturally.
• Reduction of Colic and Discomfort: Features an anti-colic valve that keeps air away from the baby’s stomach during feeding, minimizing colic and discomfort.
• Non-Drip Design: The unique hole in the nipple prevents dripping, ensuring no milk loss and cleaner feeding.
• BPA-Free Material: Both the nipples and bottles are made from BPA-free material, ensuring safety and health for the baby.

These features collectively enhance the feeding experience for both the baby and the caregiver, emphasizing comfort, convenience, and a natural approach to bottle feeding.

The Philips Avent Soft Silicone Natural Response Nipple 3m+ SCY964/02 is designed for ease of use with a few key steps:

1. Sterilization: Before the first use and after each subsequent use, sterilize the nipple. This can be done by boiling it in water for 5 minutes or using a sterilizer.
2. Assembly: Attach the nipple to a compatible Philips Avent bottle. Ensure it’s fitted securely to prevent leaks.
3. Temperature Check: Always check the milk’s temperature before feeding. It should be warm but not hot to avoid scalding the baby’s mouth.
4. Feeding Position: Hold your baby in a comfortable feeding position. The bottle should be tilted enough so that the nipple is full of milk, which helps prevent your baby from swallowing air.
5. Natural Response Feature: This nipple is designed to release milk only when the baby actively drinks. The baby’s sucking action creates a vacuum, allowing milk to flow. This mimics natural breastfeeding and can be particularly helpful for babies who are being both breastfed and bottle-fed.
6. Pace the Feeding: Allow your baby to drink at their own pace. Do not force the nipple into the baby’s mouth and give breaks for the baby to swallow and breathe.
7. Cleaning: After feeding, disassemble the bottle and nipple and clean them thoroughly. Philips Avent nipples can be cleaned in a dishwasher or by hand with warm soapy water.
8. Regular Checks: Regularly inspect the nipple for signs of wear and tear. Replace it immediately if it shows any signs of damage or weakness.

Remember, the 3m+ indication means this nipple is generally suitable for babies aged 3 months and older. However, every baby is different, and you might need to try different flow rates to find the one that best suits your baby’s feeding rhythm.
