Configuración y montaje

Before first use, disassemble all parts and clean them thoroughly. Sterilize all components according to the cleaning instructions.

Pasos de montaje:

1. Asegúrese de que todas las piezas estén limpias y esterilizadas.

Operating Instructions (Feeding)

The Natural Response nipple is designed to allow your baby to control the flow of milk, similar to breastfeeding. Milk will only be released when your baby actively compresses the nipple with their tongue and gums.

Feeding Guidance:

• Compruebe siempre la temperatura de la leche antes de alimentar a su bebé.
• Position the nipple correctly in your baby's mouth, ensuring a wide latch.
• Observe your baby's feeding cues. They will pause to swallow and breathe, during which milk flow will stop, just like during breastfeeding.
• The bottle comes with a Medium Flow nipple (Flow 3). Philips Avent offers 5 different nipple flow rates (Extra Slow, Slow, Medium, Fast, Extra Fast) to match your baby's drinking rhythm.

Solución de problemas

• Milk not flowing or flowing too slowly:
  • Ensure the nipple is correctly assembled and not blocked.
  • Check if the nipple flow rate is appropriate for your baby's age and feeding style. It is natural for babies to take 2-3 tries to get milk flowing from a new bottle.
  • Consider trying a higher flow nipple if your baby seems frustrated or takes a long time to feed.
• Milk flowing too fast or baby gulping:
  • Ensure the nipple is correctly assembled.
  • Consider trying a lower flow nipple if milk is leaking from your baby's mouth or they are gulping excessively.
• Colic or discomfort:
  • The integrated anti-colic valve is designed to reduce air ingestion. Ensure it is clean and functioning correctly.
  • Ensure your baby is latched properly to the nipple.
• Fuga:
  • Asegúrese de que todas las piezas estén correctamente ensambladas y apretadas.
  • Check the nipple and screw ring for any damage or wear. Replace if necessary.
