Philips Avent Bottles - Proper Assembly

[@gabbie_vsqnz]

This was so helpful! Thank you so much! I had no idea I was using the bottles wrong until I noticed the little notches and thought they might be purposeful.

[@whittlzwhittrz]

@@gabbie_vsqnz for some reason they don't come with those instructions which makes me sad. It can prevent a lot of upset tummy's and we babies 😂😭

[@Zxjd]

I bought these bottles yesterday. After a few feeds and my first clean up I noticed these notches. Nowhere in the manual does it say to match it and how to use them properly. Thank you for the info

[@albertustom]

Same problem thank you 🙌👍🥰

[@NO1Portland]

Incredibly helpful and informative! Thank you for this video!

[@Gobble_de_Goop]

Wish I would've searched this topic & seen this video a year ago when my baby was a newborn!! Ugh, thank you anyways as it was incredibly helpful nonetheless (even though we're about to wean him off bottles soon). 😂🤦🏻‍♀️😂

[@WindKid22]

Thank for for this helpful information. We thought the bottle was defective and it was frustrating.

[@deepthinair1484]

Why does my newborn take forever to drink 30ml of milk from these bottles.... I got a 2 hole teat.. I tried all these methods... But still no use... Any suggestions?

[@taylorborton3048]

I’m struggling with the same thing! So far I’ve tried nipples 2,3,4 and she takes a really long time to get anything out even with the 4!

[@pankaj.pandit]

Precise and accurate

Yo vine a ver como se armaba un biberon porque tengo que interpretar de mamá en mi trabajo de técnica teatral. Me sirvio de mucho, no sabia como se armaba un biberón.

[@agj5618]

Glad I found this.. thanks for making a simple video! I had the nipple lined up, bit didn't realize I was over-tightening it! Thank you!

[@whittlzwhittrz]

You are so welcome! Once it's all lined up it will be a game changer! Takes a little more time for assembly but this was our daughter's favorite bottle so far!

[@agj5618]

We switched from playtex ventaire to this.. as I can't find the ventaire anywhere now?!?! Think they are phasing them out? So I got these and the nipple keeps getting sucked into the bottle.. I was getting so frustrated?! These are expensive bottles too..

[@whittlzwhittrz]

@@agj5618 yes the nipple sucking in is the only way the bottle can tell you its too tight! I hope you love them as much as we do! We plan to use them for our baby due this month!! 😊

[@sagart]

Thanks for the video. I followed the instructions. However, the milk is getting stuck periodically and baby is becoming fussy. We are using formula. For now I'm removing the lid and putting it back to fix temporarily. Can you please let me know what mistake am I doing

[@whittlzwhittrz]

@@sagart can you please explain where the formula is getting stuck? In the nipple or not coming out of the nipple? I would start from scratch. Make sure the nipple vents are matching. Make sure the lid isn't too tight and make sure when feeding the nipple vent is up at baby's nose.

[@Ferdito]

Thanks for the info. Very useful! shame I did't watch it for my first baby. I know now for the second.

Hi i brought these for my 3 month baby. After drinking for some time , the flow gets stopped and the milk remains as is even my baby is sucking continuously. Can you please help me understand why the milk doesnot come out even my baby is sucking .

[@whittlzwhittrz]

@@harshapasupuleti7331 when it's formula, you have to ensure the formula is "thin" enough to pass through the nipple. I know some people use rice cereal as a thickener but it does tend to clog these nipples. Double check to ensure you aren't over tightening the white part and that the notches are matched to the white and the nipple. It should allow proper air flow 😊

[@levintt]

Very helpful.

[@asimkshaikh]

Thanks for making this video. I have a basic question, If you touch the teat to assemble it into the ring, does it still remain sterilized? Can we sterilize without removing the teat from the ring?

[@whittlzwhittrz]

www.usa.philips.com/c-f/XC000003274/how-do-i-clean-and-sterilize-philips-avent-bottles-and-teats It does appear that the teat needs to be seperate from the ring during the sterilization process. Once assembling, I would make sure my hands were clean and washed with antibacterial soap prior to assembling.

[@asimkshaikh]

Thank you@@whittlzwhittrz for your quick reply :) I appreciate your help.

[@chuckgrumble5440]

As soon as it hits air its not sterilized, so really its just really clean. You need to have an autoclave and air tight packaging for a true sterile bottle. I wouldn't worry about touching it with washed hands, and babies need antibodies too.

[@breannamcfarland1080]

Any tips for the Avent Natural bottles when milk won't flow? I already tried cleaning out the nipple hole and the vent.

[@whittlzwhittrz]

Check and make sure the formula isn't clogging the nipple hole when baby goes to drink. When I mix my son's bottles, the formula does bulk up at the nipple so I have to shake the bottle a little harder until the formula clears! ☺️

[@breannamcfarland1080]

@@whittlzwhittrz I'll give that a shot. We're doing ready to feed bottles.

[@whittlzwhittrz]

@@breannamcfarland1080 we used those in hospital for my son when he was born. He loved them. We re used the nipples as much as we could. If I remember correctly, the ready to feeds need to be shaken well before given to baby to make sure the formula didn't solitify. Then twist the nipple to the open top of the ready to feed. It shouldn't allow very much to pass through but you can test its working by squeezing the nipple while holding the bottle down.

[@breannamcfarland1080]

@@whittlzwhittrz turns out you can order the RTF nipples straight from the Enfamil website, which we did until he started having trouble taking them. Then we switched to the Philips Avent. I've been decanting the RTF bottles over into the PA bottles, just to clarify

[@claurangel5063]

has it happened to anyone that you wash bottle, get them ready for the next morning either with milk or just simply wash them. You align the nipple with the vent, yet in the morning it is not aligned?

[@whittlzwhittrz]

It happens often. When you go to tighten the lid to the bottle the nipple will shift a bit. Just twist the nipple prior to feeding baby so it matches and you should be fine ❤️

[@clarissasusilo4292]

Hi..sorry to bother you, i want to ask you..can i use the no.2 teat with the small bottles (125ml) ?

[@whittlzwhittrz]

Yes make sure the vent on the nipple is the same. They have released a newer nipple that vents in 3 spots so be sure you buy the correct one or you will spill formula everywhere on baby 😊

[@SamikshyaKhadka-u9m]

Can we boil this bottle in water

[@kumaridwh3685]

Hi mam i have a problem with nauch ....the nauch sit on same place when I turn cap pls help me

[@whittlzwhittrz]

An easy way to fix that is to remove the nipple and re align the vent notches on the nipple and cap. Try not to overtighten when putting the cap back on with nipple as it will shift the location of the vent notches and be too tight to be used.

[@ninas4968]

🙏🏻👏🏼

[@tajalwaseem2647]

When my baby takes the avent bottle half of the milk comes out of his mouth. It's so irritating. I even fixed the teat properly according to the instructions. Please help me with this

[@whittlzwhittrz]

It sounds like maybe your baby isn't latching properly. I would seek a consult with a lactation specialist or a doctor to check for tongue tie. Bottles and nipples should be selected to be the closest to the shape of the mothers breasts so it might need to be a different brand, bottle and / or nipple. Sending such big hugs.

[@PinkyHoneybear]

Can u show the flow of the bottle? I put the nipple like you showed and when i put the bottle upside down,no formula drips

[@whittlzwhittrz]

That's great! It means that the bottle and nipple are not leaking! When you give the bottle to your little one when they are a newborn, they need to work on their sucking. They have to sort of work for it just like breastfeeding! When the bottle nipple sizes go up (from 0 to 1, 1 to 2 and so on) it increases the flow. Around size 3 or so that's when you should see some fluids leaking if you were to turn the bottle upside down! ❤️

[@EdnoAverche]

Flow is TERRIBLE

[@hongvu6342]

Omg, thank you so much. I did wrong way all the time.

[@whittlzwhittrz]

I'm so glad we could help 😊

[@nidhimehrotra-qd8cd]

Hey, while giving milk be it formula or expressed milk,nipple gets blocked when my baby sucks the bottle nipple and then my baby gets fussy when milk doesn't flow from the bottle.Can you please tell me what is the problem?i have 5 bottles and the problem is same with all the nipples

[@whittlzwhittrz]

The only time I've had the nipple blocked was when it wasn't getting suction. Align the notch in the ring with the notch in the nipple. When screwing onto the bottle, go slow and don't over tighten. When you feed baby, make sure the notches face upward. All of that should allow for better flow and no blocks.

[@melissadonaggio423]

When I close the bottle the nipple moves out of place 🤔

[@whittlzwhittrz]

@@melissadonaggio423 you can always loosen it a small amount and then twist the nipple softly so that it rotates into place again.

[@futurelullabies]

i hate these fucking bottles. my whole bed smells like milk now.

[@camol9]

hate avent all bottles leaking

[@whittlzwhittrz]

They shouldn't leak at all. Check the nipples. Make sure they match the type of bottle you have. Make sure they are not being over tightened. Lastly, make sure all the vent in the nipple and the lid are matched and facing up when you feed baby. No leaking should take place. Best of luck.

[@whittlzwhittrz]

Avent recommends changing the nipple sizes as baby ages. In the middle of this article it has a little picture showing the different ages, nipple number and flows recommended. www.usa.philips.com/c-f/XC000006497/which-philips-avent-nipple-suits-my-baby-best

Thanks you

[@nivethanivetha4343]

Hlo i have aleaking prblmand when I tighten the lid, the alignment gets disturbef ang it got mismatched? What to do. Pls help

[@whittlzwhittrz]

Line up the nipple notch with the notch on the lid. When you twist the lid on, don't twist it very tight. When feeding baby, the notches face up near the nose of baby to prevent leaks.
