VIA Cups are pre-sterilised for immediate use. Re-sterilise cups, lids and adaptors before each subsequent use so they can be used again. We recommend using VIA Cups several times and to discard when showing signs of wear and tear. Expressed breast milk can be stored in the fridge for up to 48 hours (not in the door) or freezer for up to 3 months. Never refreeze breast milk or add fresh breast milk to already frozen milk. Food can be stored in the fridge for up to 48 hours or freezer for up to 3 months. Label the content and date using a marker or pencil. VIA has twist on lids to provide leakproof storage and transport. For your child's safety and health WARNING! Before first use, clean the product. After every use, take all items apart, wash and rinse thoroughly. Sterilise using a Philips AVENT Steriliser or boil for 5 minutes. This is to ensure hygiene. Always use this product with adult supervision. Never use feeding teats as a soother. Continuous and prolonged sucking of fluids will cause tooth decay. Always check food temperature before feeding. Keep all components not in use out of the reach of children. Do not leave a feeding teat in direct sunlight or heat when not in use, or leave in disinfectant (“sterilising solution”) for longer than recommended, as this may weaken the teat. Before each use, inspect the product. Throw away at the first sign of damage or weakness. During inspection of teats pull the feeding teat in all directions. DO NOT warm contents in a microwave oven as this may cause uneven heating and could scald your baby. Wash your hands thoroughly and ensure surfaces are clean before contact with the product.
