Feeding Bottle or VIA Feeding System. Assemble a sterilised teat, screw
ring and dome cap and attach onto the body of the Airflex Bottle or 
the VIA Adaptor and Cup (see below).

Storing your milk in the freezer

To store in the freezer use a sealing disc in place of the teat and dome cap
or use a sterilised VIA Lid to seal the VIA Cup. The storage containers
should be clearly labelled with the date and time  of expression and older
milk used up first.

NEVER refreeze breast milk. DO NOT add fresh breast milk to already
frozen milk. ALWAYS discard any milk that is left over at the end of a feed.

11. Feeding your baby your expressed breast milk

If breast milk has been stored in an AVENT Breast Milk
Container, replace the sealing disc with a sterilised
Airflex Teat.

Alternatively replace the VIA Lid with a sterilised VIA
Adaptor, screw ring, dome cap and Airflex Teat.

Frozen breast milk should be defrosted overnight in the
refrigerator. However, in an emergency, it can be defrosted 
in a jug of hot water. Once thawed use within 24 hours.

Breast milk can be heated in the same way as any other bottle feed. 
Stand the Airflex Bottle or VIA Feeding System in a bowl of hot water, 
or alternatively, for a safe and fast way to warm feeds, in a Philips AVENT
Bottle and Baby Food Warmer. IMPORTANT! Milk or food will heat faster 
in VIA Cups than in standard feeding bottles/containers. Always check 
milk or food temperature before feeding.

Never heat milk in a microwave as this may destroy valuable nutrients 
and antibodies. In addition, the uneven heating may cause hot spots 
in the liquid which could cause burns to the throat. 

Never immerse a frozen milk container or VIA Cup in boiling water as 
this may cause it to crack/split. 

Never put boiling water directly into a VIA Cup, allow to cool for around 
20 minutes before filling.
