Philips Support How long does the Philips Avent fast bottle warmer take to heat milk or formula? The Philips Avent fast bottle warmer is designed to heat milk or formula to the proper drinkable temperature quickly. This is particularly useful for late-night feeding or when your little one doesn't want to wait. See the tables below for guidance on how long it takes to heat milk or formula and some general guidelines.
Heating liquid milk To use your Philips Avent fast bottle warmer, measure out the volume of milk to be heated and select the setting that corresponds to that volume. The initial milk temperature affects the heating time. Choose the heating time from the column that best matches the temperature of your milk before heating.
Setting Room temperature (23°C/73°F) milk Cold milk (5°C/41°F, from the fridge) 30 ml (1 oz) 4.00 - 4.15 mins 4.00 - 4.15 mins 60 ml (2 oz) 2.45 - 3.30 mins 4.45 - 5.30 mins 90 ml (3 oz) 3.00 - 4.00 mins 5.00 - 6.00 mins 120 ml (4 oz) 3.00 - 4.00 mins 5.00 - 6.00 mins 150 ml (5 oz) 3.00 - 4.00 mins 5.00 - 6.00 mins 180 ml (6 oz) 3.30 - 4.30 mins 5.30 - 6.30 mins 210 ml (7 oz) 3.30 - 4.30 mins 5.30 - 6.30 mins 240 ml (8 oz) 5.00 - 6.00 mins 6.30 - 7.30 mins 270 ml (9 oz) 5.00 - 6.00 mins 6.30 - 7.30 mins 300 ml (10 oz) 5.15 - 6.15 mins 6.45 - 7.45 mins 330 ml (11 oz) 5.30 - 6.30 mins 7.00 - 8.00 mins
Heating frozen milk (in a milk bag) When heating frozen milk in a milk bag, always use the "Keep warm/defrost" setting. Refer to the table below for timing guidelines. The times below are based on milk that is frozen to -10°C/14°F prior to warming.
Volume Heating time 30 ml (1 oz) 20 - 25 mins 60 ml (2 oz) 30 - 35 mins 90 ml (3 oz) 35 - 40 mins 120 ml (4 oz) 45 - 50 mins 150 ml (5 oz) 50 - 55 mins 180 ml (6 oz) 60 - 65 mins
Tips for using your Philips Avent fast bottle warmer
After heating, the milk may still feel cool to an adult. However, research suggests that most babies will accept milk that is cooler than body temperature. The timings given above are guidelines only. The material and the water and milk temperature can all impact the warming time. These guidelines are based on the Philips Avent Natural polypropylene bottle. Glass bottles may heat more quickly and silicone bottles may heat more slowly. Always check the milk temperature before each feeding. The information on this page applies to the following models: SCF359/20 .
