A great bottle with a few caveats
on November 7, 2022
Posted by: Aventnipple
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have actually purchased a full Avent Natural Response bottle set, but I received this bottle from the Stellar Product Testing Panel on the 8oz bottle. Overall, these bottles are easy to use and clean. I love that there are so few parts and my baby has had no trouble going from bottle to breast (with a few caveats, listed below).
I only used these with breast milk and I think the 8oz bottle is not something I would typically use since this bottle is too large for the volume of breast milk my baby would eat. I much prefer the smaller 5oz bottles.
We generally use bottles if my baby is still hungry shortly after a breastfeeding session or for my husband to feed him when I am busy and just need to buy myself a little bit of time. We do not do an entire feed from a bottle and are just supplementing here and there. Because if this, the volume my baby eats is only a few ounces at a time so the 8oz bottle was not useful for feeding. However, it’s extremely useful for storage! I have found myself using the large bottle to store multiple pump sessions to take up less space in the fridge. I also will separately store anything my baby does not consume in the allowed time limit or if we accidentally leave a bottle out too long and once I have a good amount I will freeze in 1oz increments for milk baths.
Pros:
- Easy to clean, only 3 parts for the entire setup (4 if you count the lids)! These parts are also larger so they don’t get lost or slip through cracks in the dishwasher.
- Wide base and neck. These are easy to hook up directly to my pump flanges and I love that the bottles don’t easily tip over.
- Variety of nipple flow sizes available for the bottles. This increases the longevity of use and makes it easy to adjust for my baby.

Cons:
- It’s impossible to easily get all the milk out of these bottles. There is a lip/rim below the collar the nipple attaches to that milk collects in. In order to get the last bit of milk I have to tip the bottle completely upside down to fill the nipple and have my baby suck it out. This also makes transferring milk after pumping hard to do without dripping/wasting some.
- Most of the available nipples are very slow and because of this and how soft they are, my baby would almost “chomp” on the tip in an effort to get more milk. This also translated to him doing the same on the breast (OW!). We’ve been able to work through this with our lactation consultant and why we ended up going to Flow 4 at 6 weeks.
- 8oz bottles seem incredibly large for breastfed babies since they max out at a lower volume. I am not sure we will ever really need this size, even if we use a bottle for a full feed.

Overall, I would still purchase and recommend these bottles/nipples/sets with the few cons noted. We have tried several other bottles/nipples and the flows have been way too fast so I do think these are great bottle once you can determine the correct nipple for your baby.

Game changer
on November 7, 2022
Posted by: Shay
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My daughter is 8 months old and we have been STRUGGLING to find a bottle/nipple set that works for her. She is breastfed, so she definitely has a preference for breast over bottle. While this product was received for free, this is an honest review (thank you stellar product testing panel!). We must have tried a new bottle each month and these are the ones that work for her. The bottle is easy to hold, even for baby, and fit into her diaper bag easily. The nipple didn't drip before she latched onto it. Easy to clean without a lot of parts. It hasn't caused any gas issues. She is able to control the flow of milk while drinking from this bottle, so no pooling of milk around her lips and no gagging! I so wish we had found these sooner.

Philips Avent Natural Baby Bottle Set
on November 7, 2022
Posted by: PhillipsAventBottles
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My 3 month old daughter loved the Philips Avent Natural Response Baby Bottle. We received this product as part of Stellar product testing panel. After going back to work she had to learn how to take a bottle and she has loved this bottle. She will drink the bottle fast and doesn’t have any issues with spitting etc. I would recommend.

Great bottles
on November 7, 2022
Posted by: Chi2022
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We received these bottles through Stellar Product Testing Panel at no cost but the review provided is our honest perspective.
Frame of reference: First time parents. When we received the bottles for review, we were breastfeeding as well as bottle feeding our 3 month old. We were using a different brand bottle that has a slimmer form and has a anti-colic system that involves multiple pieces. Also to note, we use a non-Philips bottle sterilizer and breast pump.
The 1 feature we loved the most was the fact that the nipples allow flow only when our baby is actively sucking. This not only allows the baby to control the flow, but also means less accidental spills when the bottle falls over.
Its wider form made it compatible with the breast pump we were using. This discounted the extra effort of having to pump and transfer to feeding bottles- not to mention less stuff to clean.
The simple anti-colic system meant less parts to take apart, clean/sterilize, keep track of and put together! The anti colic valve does not need to be oriented to be at the top, we have used another brand with a similar valve, that required the valve to be positioned on top to avoid spills. Finger's crossed, our baby has had tummy issues but is not colicky hence, not able to fully comment on the efficacy of the anti-colic system. The lack of issues when switching to Philip's bottle needs to be considered.
The wider form and the ergonomic shape does make these bottles easier to handle.
Based on our setup, going from the slimmer bottles to these wider bottle however, meant slightly less bottles would fit in our sterilizer (this difference is minimal but still something to consider). Also travel wise, wider bottles would equate to a slightly bulkier diaper bag.
Overall these bottle are great and we would gladly recommend them to any parents.

Nice light weight bottle
on November 7, 2022
Posted by: Luxurymom5
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Phillips Avent bottle ( I received this product as part of the stellar product testing panel ) is very light weight I love the feel in my hand while holding it. My baby didn’t take to it right away which I expected as a fully breastfeed baby but after a couple of attempts she started to hold the bottle herself. I would definitely recommend this to other parents. The bottle was really easy to clean didn’t leave any cloud discoloration in the bottle after several washes, the flow of the nipple was the only reason I gave 4 stars as she had to work so hard to get the milk out. But that could be fixed with a different flow nippy.

Much easier to clean and sanitize than others
on November 7, 2022
Posted by: Annasudsy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This bottle is neat because it has several different scales on the side 4 ounces, both UK and US fluid ounce sizes. Since a lot of us are having to use formula from the UK because of the formula shortage, this is incredibly useful because there is actually a difference! I really liked the easy way the bottle is able to be cleaned and steamed. There are only a couple of parts versus other brands. There’s actually a tiny little vent in the nipple that makes it antireflux, and you don’t have to worry about any extra parts to wash! That’s probably my favorite feature of this bottle. Now, my poor little baby has been struggling to use different bottles for a long time. He had a lip and tongue tie which made bottlefeeding pretty difficult. The only kind I can get him to try are narrow bottles. I spent quite a bit of time trying to get him to latch on this and he just couldn’t seem to. I would really like to see this brand make a narrow version for babies with feeding issues! I loved a lot of the features on this but he just couldn’t seem to get the hang of it.
I received this product for free as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

My picky eater loves this bottle
on November 7, 2022
Posted by: CynB
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I secretly judged some moms who said their baby would only take a certain brand of bottle or refused them all together... until I had this THIRD baby of mine! [Face Palm] My picky little eater loves this bottle! I have several different brands and she drinks much quicker with this one and doesn't push it out of her mouth. I think it's the wide nipple that works for her. I've always enjoyed Avent bottles as they're easy to clean (4 parts if you include the cap!). Thank you Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing this baby bottle to test out.

Favorite Bottle
on November 7, 2022

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product as part of the Stellar Product Testing panel in exchange for a review.
The Avent Bottle 9oz is one of my favorite baby bottles. The shape is nice and fits well into my diaper bag, and I don't worry about any leaks. It's easy to assemble and clean, but you have to remove the cap from the lid while it's still screwed onto the bottle (it is that tight! But this probably helps prevent leaks so I don't mind).
My baby (6wks) takes this bottle well and has not had any issues with it flowing too much into her mouth. She only takes a bottle occasionally, but when she does there have been no issues with this one.
