 Despite its small size, it is the only microwave steriliser that is designed to fit 6 Philips AVENT bottles.

It is also suitable for sterilising breast pumps. Holds up to six 260 ml/ 9oz AVENT Bottles or two Philips AVENT Breast Pumps and two AVENT Bottles.

Effective sterilization
Based on the hospital principle, the intensive heat of the steam eliminates harmful bacteria. Sterilising is all about protecting your baby from particularly harmful milk bacteria until his immune system is strong enough. The Philips AVENT Steriliser uses the hospital method of steam sterilisation, which is quick, easy and efficient, with no chemicals involved.

 

Sterilisation refers to any process that effectively kills or eliminates transmissible agents such as fungi, bacteria, viruses, spore forms, etc. from a bottle surface or breast pump for example. It is essential that during their first year, all baby bottles, teats, soothers ect should be sterilised because at this time babies are at their most vulnerable to viruses, bacteria and parasitic infections which can cause illnesses from a mild case of thrush to a serious condition of gastroenteritis which can cause vomiting, diarrhoea and dehydration. Before sterilisation was standard practice, many babies died unnecessarily as a result.

Sterilisation can be achieved through application of heat or chemicals, but most commonly with steam for baby bottles and accessories. Electric steam sterilising is based on hospital methods and is quick and efficient and usually available in a compact microwave variety or a larger model which plugs directly into the mains. Their main advantage is that there is no smell or taste involved and the items inside remain sterile for a period (see model for time period) if the lid is kept on.

Although babies cannot live in a germ free environment, using a steriliser can reduce the risks open to small babies.

Pregnancy and early parenthood is an exciting and challenging time, when it's good to know there is expert advice on hand to help take care of you and your baby. Since 1984, AVENT has been designing and manufacturing products that are inspired by nature and have been developed through extensive research and clinical trials. Now, as part of the Philips Group, the new Philips AVENT will continue to produce innovative solutions that make feeding and caring for your baby's health and safety easier.

Philips AVENT believes that breast feeding is the best method of nutrition for babies and that women should be given as much information and education as possible regarding the benefits of breast milk. Philips AVENT believes that it is every mother’s right to make her own personal decision to how she feeds her baby – bottle, breast or a combination of both - and Philips AVENT will support her in whatever choice she makes.
