Tips for using your Philips Avent fast bottle warmer
- After heating, the milk may still feel cool to an adult. However, research suggests that most babies will accept milk that is cooler than body temperature.
- The timings given above are guidelines only. The material and the water and milk temperature can all impact the warming time.
- These guidelines are based on the Philips Avent Natural polypropylene bottle. Glass bottles may heat more quickly and silicone bottles may heat more slowly.
- Always check the milk temperature before each feeding.
