With the arrival of our baby boy Knox, see how the Philips Avent line of baby products are helping us adjust as new parents.
This sponsored post was written in partnership with Philips Avent and PTPA media.
Knox has finally arrived and we couldn’t be happier with our bundle of joy. I can’t wait to post about our baby story but for now, we’re focusing on caring and getting to know our little one. A little while back, I shared my post on Preparing for Baby’s Arrival with Philips Avent and now I want to share with you some of the Philips Avent products we’re currently using.
Philips Avent Express Microwave Steam Sterilizer
The Microwave Steam Sterilizer has really been the item we use on a daily basis (along with the Philips Avent Anti-Colic Bottles with Air Free Vent and the Philips Avent Fast Bottle Warmer). Between pumping and formula feeding, we go through several bottles a day. To keep up with cleaning and sterilizing, the Philips Avent Express Microwave Steam Sterilizer is easy (and so quick) to use, killing 99.9% of germs. It thoroughly sterilizes up to 4 bottles at the same time in only 2 minutes and all items remain sterile up to 24 hours if the lid is unopened.
What I also love is the versatility of the sterilizer. You can put other items in such as pacifiers, breast pumps, cutlery or other bottles you’ve been using. It fits in most microwaves so you don’t have to worry about taking it on the road with you.
Using the sterilizer multiple times a day, I have to say this is one of our favourite products that has helped us save so much time and gives us peace of mind that all of Knox’s bottles, pacifiers, etc. are clean and safe to drink from.

Philips Avent Newborn Pacifiers (0-2 Months)
The Philips Avent Newborn Pacifiers have been a huge help when Knox gets fussy. I’ve often heard how babies can be picky when it comes to pacifiers but Knox took to this pacifier right away. We did have to give him some assistance with keeping it in, but now that he has the hang of it, we use it often when he needs to be soothed (especially during those fussy nights). Before Knox arrived, many people told me how pacifiers could affect the growth of our baby’s teeth or confuse them with too many varieties of nipples and bottles but these pacifiers were designed for natural oral development, meaning the collapsible nipple won’t disrupt the growth of their teeth or gums. Also, the nipple of the pacifier feels natural which, as I mentioned earlier, helped him take to it right away.
As for cleaning the pacifiers, it’s pretty easy! They’re dishwasher safe and can also be placed in the Microwave Steam Sterilizer. Plus, there’s a snap-on cap so you can place it in their diaper bag when on-the-go and not have to worry about it getting dirty. Boy or girl, the cute colours and designs on the pacifiers also make them fun for showing off!

Overall, I truly believe the Philips Avent products were made for the modern parent. Not only have they saved us time, they’ve also given us peace of mind, which says a lot coming from a new mom. As we get to know Knox and adjust to our new arrival, The Philips Avent products have taken a load off of our shoulders with safe, affordable and reliable products that we feel good raising Knox on.
