The best bottle for breastfed babies
on April 11, 2022
Posted by: budzynb
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am so impressed with Avent's update to their already-wonderful bottle system. We have been using the Natural baby bottles for over 5 years now. They are the only bottle I tried for my breastfed son, as well as my breastfed daughter, and both took a liking to the bottle right away. They are only 3-piece assemblies (plus the cover if needed) and we also have the storage caps so I can use them for pumping. They fit right onto my Spectra pump flanges so there are no extra dirty parts to clean. The wide design makes washing a breeze since all bottle brushes fit into the bottle, around the inside of the collar, and into the nipple.
The new nipple is what intrigued me about this set. We have always used a 0-flow NATURAL nipple with these bottles and there's been no issues. We move the kids up to a 1-flow around 6 months old and both did good with the transition as well. But the 1's I found were leaking if tipped over and would sometimes choke my child if they wanted to slow down for a break. In comes the new, NATURAL RESPONSE nipple. Avent did change the flow rates with the new design, which I find to be confusing if you didn't know there was a change (and the names are so similar, I wouldn't have known either). The new flow 3 is equal to the old flow 1. Here is the full chart of old nipple to new nipple conversion, since most bad reviews have been from people not knowing about the conversion. https://philips.to/3526nhD
The new nipple only lets milk out of there is suction, so a tipped over bottle will not leak. My daughter can drink faster, burp less, and seems very happy with the new nipple. She also burps quickly and easily and has never spit up since we switched. Finally, she switches back to the breast every evening after daycare without any confusion or frustration. The new nipples work with the older natural bottles, so we will be buying more of these nipples to go along with our current bottles! We have been using the new nipples for about a month now and they wash well and do not tear. I am so happy we were given this baby bottle set to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

Life changing for feeding
on April 11, 2022
Posted by: Dais
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are the best bottles for my little one! Transferring from breast to bottle, we have gone through trying a bunch of different brands and nipple flows. My baby was constantly drinking way too fast and when we went down in flow he was sucking too hard. I received these Phillips Avent bottles as part of the stellar product testing panel, so we tried these natural flow and stuck with these since they are amazing! Letting him choose his own flow changed the game for us! No more upset stomach from eating too quickly, no more fuss from it coming out too slow, no more leaking bottles!! I would highly recommend these bottles for every baby!

Baby Loves It
on April 11, 2022
Posted by: Holley
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the Philips Avent Natural Baby Bottle through the Stellar Product Testing Panel. My 6 month old son enjoys his feedings in his Philips Avent Natural Baby Bottles. These bottles are wide and easy for him to grip encouraging self feedings. The nipple does not leak and it only flows during feedings. He burps and spits up less due to the shape of the natural nipple. It makes a little more work for me as I’d have to squeeze the tip to ensure the temperature of the milk is safe, but that only takes a few extra seconds. He was able to control the flow of milk and I believe the size of the bottle and nipple flow (3) was the perfect fit for his age group/feeding style. The bottles were easy to assemble and clean, however, they are so wide that they take up the entirety of the bottle holder section in the diaper bag. Perhaps a fitted sleeve or insulated material could be a better option. The caps of the nipples are hard to remove, especially while wet, as the design is very sleek and smooth. Perhaps an indentation to encourage grip would be nice.

Great for moms and babies alike
on April 11, 2022
Posted by: Dana
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a 5 month old who suffered from gas and other tummy issues when he was first born. We tested numerous bottles until we finally settled on ones that he likes. However, now that he is 5 months old and his tummy issues have started to subside, we have been giving other bottles a go!
Thanks to Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this baby bottle set. These bottles are designed for babies, however, moms were not left behind in the process! The bottles are easy to pack in the diaper bag, easy to hold while feeding, and have just the right amount of parts you would expect a bottle to have. I am looking for bottles that are comfortable for me to use just as much as I am for my baby to feed from. The ease of these being top rack dishwasher safe are also a plus for me. I partially work in an office and from home, so being able to pop these in the dishwasher is a time saver for a busy mom.
As much as I loved these bottles, my son had a hard time controlling the flow from these nipples. He would suck and suck and still not get the amount of milk he wanted which would result in an unhappy baby. I believe if we had a different flow nipple that this wouldn’t have been a problem. The wider nipple seemed more comfortable to my baby, however, I noticed my son made a bigger mess than he did with the bottles we had been previously using.
Although my son struggled a bit with the flow of the nipple, I believe that this is something I can fix and will be testing out some other nipple flows to try and make these bottles work for my son!

Still the Best
on April 11, 2022
Posted by: AdventBottles
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Advent bottles have stood the test of time in my family. We first used these bottles 15 years ago and continue to be impressed with their quality and design today. These bottles are comfortable to hold and are shaped perfectly for babies who are eager to hold their own bottles. The nipple is excellent, as it does not allow milk to flow unless baby is sucking due to the responsive tip. No leaking! The flow rates listed on the nipples have been spot on for each age, and they provide just the right amount of output. This is especially important for those babies with reflux issues. The wide nipple design also allowed for a seamless transition from breast to bottle when that became necessary for us. As a bonus, these bottles are extremely easy to wash, sterilize and reassemble. I will always recommend Advent bottles to new parents, as their quality and functionality are far superior to other brands. I received this baby bottle set from the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

High Quality and Easy to Clean Bottle System
on April 11, 2022
Posted by: PracticalMama
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Both of my children have been breastfed, then combo-fed, then fully switched to formula around 9 months. However, their feeding journeys varied slightly in that while my oldest started switching between bottle and breast from birth, my youngest was a down-to-the-wire-I'm-going-back-to-work-and-you-can't-bring-my-boobs-with-you-to-daycare mess. Through both of these experiences, I truly believe you have to find a feeding system that works for 1) YOU and 2) your kids and then go with it.
Unfortunately, it took us a long time to "go with it" for my youngest.
Thank you SO much to Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with the Philips Avent baby bottle set to try out. I actually tried these bottles prior to testing for Stellar, when I was desperate to find something my baby would use (hello! You NEED to eat!) and I was immediately drawn to the Natural Response Nipple in hopes it would make the transition from breast to bottle easier. For him, it didn't. He hated it.
When I was gifted these bottles now that he was older and well-accustomed to bottle feeding (using just the one system we finally found and stuck with) I was nervous. Would he throw a fit like he had at 3 and 4 months? NOPE. He loved this bottle.
I did, too. As an older baby (9 months), these larger bottles held enough milk for his larger appetite. He was able to easily hold the bottle for himself and found tipping the bottle for the last drops easy. We were probably using a nipple flow that was too low for our 9 month old but he didn't seem to mind as he was able to control the pacing easily. I appreciate that there are different flow nipples that you can try out based on your child's age/strength/interest. I'm not sure having 5 different flow nipples (Levels 0-4) is necessary as who wants to sort through different nipples when you're quickly trying to get a bottle for a hungry baby, but if that's what works for your kid, go for it.
The bottles and nipples were very durable and high-quality. They were easy to clean with no strange nooks and crannies in the nipple and ring. I really loved that these bottles did not leak when traveling. We knew that we could grab a bottle, toss it in the bag and run out the door without later finding a leaky mess or a half-empty bottle.
I particularly enjoyed the ease of pairing these bottles with the Philips Avent bottle sanitizer. A friend gifted me her sanitizer and I loved that I could use these Philips Avent bottles with a compatible sanitizer without the bottles/nipples sliding around or getting warped.

Great for breast fed babies
on April 11, 2022
Posted by: Mamahara
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the product as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. As a new mom, I can honestly say that I still don’t know what I’m looking for in bottles aside from whether my baby will take them or not. So far, my baby has taken one specific brand until now! He loves the Avent Natural Flow bottles. They hold a good amount of liquid and he can easily hold the bottle. The shape and size of these bottles are perfect for his little hands which means, he isn’t constantly dropping his bottle. What I like most is the fact that he is a breast fed baby and with that in mind, the Avent natural nipples create the same mouth shape that it would on the breast (lips flanged, comfortable suck) therefore, it is comfortable for him. Granted, he could use a faster flow nipple. This bottle is definitely slow flow so I recommend swapping out out the nipples for the correct flow, that is, if your baby needs a faster flow. Interestingly, even with a slow flow nipple, he is still happy with this bottle. In addition, I did not experience any leakage and baby did not experience any grassiness. I will most certainly be using these bottles, purchasing more, and giving them as gifts as well. Highly recommend! Thanks, Stellar!

Natural flow and easy to clean
on April 11, 2022
Posted by: Wads6026
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was given this baby bottle set to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. This Avent bottle set features 3 bottles with a sleek and simple design. I love that these bottles only have 4 parts (including the lid), so they are extremely easy to clean and assemble. The natural response nipples that come with this bottle set were great for my baby. My baby is bottle and breastfed so I am always looking for a bottle that has a flow similar to the breast. I thought this bottle did a good job of that because the natural response nipples don’t drip and baby is able to choose the speed at which the milk comes out based upon their feeding style. The level 3 nipple that came with these bottles was the perfect flow rate for my 5 month old. I definitely recommend this bottle set for those who are searching for a bottle for their breastfed baby.
