Philips Avent Classic+ Newborn Starter Set SCD371/00

Reduce colic with the Philips Avent Classic+ Newborn Starter Set

The Philips Avent Classic+ Newborn Starter set has everything you need to start feeding a newborn, whether feeding exclusively with a bottle or combining breast and bottle. The set includes 2 x 125 ml bottles with newborn-flow teats, 2 x 260 ml bottles with slowflow teats, plus a bottle and teat brush, and a newborn soother.

Since 1984, the Classic bottle has been used and trusted by mums to prevent colic and keep their babies happy when feeding. Thirty years on and the Classic bottle has been reinvented. Philips Avent Classic+ has an anti-colic valve on the teat, which opens to allow air into the bottle instead of your baby's tummy and flexes to your baby's feeding rhythm, minimising overeating, gas and spit-up. This anti-colic system is integrated into the teat, making the bottle easier to assemble and clean.

All Philips Avent bottles and teats have been proudly made in the UK since 1984 and are designed with both baby and parent in mind. Through extensive research and clinical trials, Philips Avent products promote baby's wellbeing and growth.

Philips Avent is delighted to be the No. 1 recommended brand by UK Mums* with its products loved by Mums and Babies across the UK.

*Based on December 2011 TNS online satisfaction survey conducted among more than 36,000 female users of childcare brands and products worldwide.

How does Classic+ work?

Feeding bottles, no matter what size or shape, need air to replace the milk your baby consumes. When your baby drinks, a vacuum is formed in the bottle restricting the milk flow, causing frustration and more vigorous sucking, this leads to the baby taking in air. Most bottles overcome this problem by drawing air in via a small hole located on top of the teat- but this can interrupt the baby's natural flow and sucking rhythm. Because the Classic+ system is integrated into the teat, the risk of colic and fussing is reduced for a comfortable feeding experience.

Unsettled and irritable behaviour, known as fussing, is by far the most commonly known crying behaviour in babies. Clinical studies that the Philips Avent Classic+ bottle significantly reduces fussing by approximately 28 minutes a day as compared to a comparator bottle. This was especially true during night-time.

Fussing: A clinical study showed that at two weeks of age, babies showed less fussing than babies fed with another leading bottle.

Colic: A clinical study showed that at two weeks of age babies fed with a Philips Avent bottle showed a trend to less colic than babies fed with a conventional bottle.

Features:

Clinically proven anti-colic system Unlike other bottles, the clinically proven anti-colic system is now integrated into the teat. As your baby feeds, the valve on the teat flexes to allow air into the bottle instead of your baby's tummy.	Designed to prevent leakage The Classic+ bottle is designed to prevent leakage whilst feeding, for a truly enjoyable feeding experience.	Easier to clean and assemble The UK's original anti-colic bottle has now been reinvented to use fewer parts. The Classic+ feeding bottle is now easier to clean and assemble, ensuring you can give your baby what they need without any hassle. Have a more enjoyable feeding experience, with no leaks and only four parts to simply put together.	Unique valve The valve on the teat flexes to your baby's feeding rhythm. Milk will only flow at the pace chosen by your baby to minimise overeating and spit-up, burping and gas.

Further features:

Adapts to your baby's growing needs The Classic+ Anti-Colic feeding bottle has also been designed to be fully compatible and easily interchangeable with other products in the Avent range including breast milk storage containers, easy sip cups and breast pumps. This means bottles can be used from the transition from baby to toddler. All Classic+ bottles can be used in any of the Avent sterilisers and bottle warmers.	Teats available in a variety of flow rates Replace the Classic+ teats from newborn, slow, medium, fast and variable flow rates, to match your baby's development. Remember that age indications are approximate, as babies develop at different rates. You will know when your baby is ready to move onto a faster flow rate because he or she will try to suck harder to get the milk more quickly.	Philips Avent Bottle Range Our Classic+ bottle range can now be interchanged with our Avent Natural range to ensure you and your baby have flexibility during feeds. Existing Classic bottles can be used with the Classic+ teats. However we do not recommend that the Classic+ bottles be used with old teats. See chart on how your Avent bottles can be assembled.

Philips Avent Tips for Bottle Feeding

• Clean and sterilise all feeding parts before each use
• Do not use abrasive cleaning agents or anti-bacterial cleaners with bottles and teats
• Wash your hands thoroughly and ensure surfaces are clean before handling sterilised components
• For inspection of the teat, pull it in each direction
• Throw away bottle and teats at the first sight of damage, weakness or scratching
• Replace teats and spouts after three months use
