Great for those mouth filling dribble babies

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My son has had a lot of trouble finding just the right bottle for him. He has a tendency to fill his mouth before he swallows, so he often times ends up as a big, wet mess. We have tried all sorts of bottles, but the Phillips Avent Natural has seemed to work the best. It has a responsive nipple, meaning that milk isn't flowing unless the baby is sucking. This is great for my easily distractible, mouth-filling kiddo. I had used this brand with my daughter 5 years ago and was happy to receive them as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel to use again with my sons. I used the level 3 flow, which is recommended for 1 month and older. My boys are 5 months this month, so that flow was a little slow for them. I would recommend the level 5 flow for their age range. The bottle is comfortable to hold and fits easily in our diaper bag bottle holders. It is nice that the nipples don't pull too far when you are putting them into the collar. With other bottles, you end up having to put the nipple in a few times because it easily pulls out of the collar during set up. I am also glad that our local stores carry faster flow nipples, so these bottles will last us awhile, in their 9 oz size.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We were familiar with the Philips Avent brand with our daughter born in 2018 so it was nice to see some upgrades to their product line via testing this product through Stellar Product Testing Panel.
First of all we loved the colors and thought it was an easy way to set your brand apart from others. It’s hard to find fun colored bottles for babies so this is a plus.
The design is easy to clean, and very simple to take apart and put back together with just a few simple pieces. Nothing much has changed in that sense from our previous bottles.
What was new was the anti colic holes in the nipple, the feel of the nipples, and also their shape.
We thought the anti colic holes worked quite well and we’ve noticed many other brands adding them to their bottles. It works and it’s simple and I don’t have to wash any more parts (you know what brand I’m talking about).
The feel of the nipple is much softer compared to our 2018 bottle nipples. Much more of a silicone soft feel. We liked it and compared with our other new bottles to which is was similar but not as nice as some other brands.
The “nipples wide shape” is non existent. The shape looks almost identical to our other nipples. It’s slim and long. We have plenty of natural wide shaped nipples for other bottles and they are awesome. They look a bit more of like a nipple would be in a babies mouth than outside of it (like this one)
The verdict according to our son: He’s not a fan, sadly. He’s a boy that loves the real deal and this bottle can’t trick him. While I may be impressed with the colored bottle, the anti colic holes, and lightness of the bottle. He wasn’t. He tolerated this bottle for a few feedings (never finishing his whole 6 oz), and as soon as he saw his other bottle would complain for it.
The missed mark is truly the nipple here. It’s too long, and not wide enough going from base to tip.
He’s picky though, and I love him, but again he’s sooo picky.
Overall I think many people would love these and they would work for them (I imagine these working fine for my daughter in 2018) but for my picky son who truly loves the real deal more than a bottle. This one isn’t fooling him. Sorry Philips Advent.
[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. Truly from the first time we used it my 6 month old daughter was hooked! She could hold on to the bottle with ease and actually finished 4 oz her first sitting! My husband and I had tried 4 other brands before being chosen to try this brand it hands down it was the winner! Very easy to clean and assemble and perfect flow, she wasn’t pushing it away the way she did with other bottles. We will be sticking with these abs just swapping out the nipples as she needs different flows! Highly recommend for anyone looking for any easy to use bottle that pleases your little one!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really liked the bottles my daughter is a little picky with bottles and nipple's since she was/is exclusively breastfed. The nipple is great & works well for her latch. She self regulates and controls the flow with this nipple because it is shaped & designed for her to control the flow. The nipple flow seemed to work well for her drinking style.
The bottles & nipple's were very easy to clean & assemble. The ergonomic shape really is great for the baby to self feed & also hooks up to my pump & is great for pumping & assembly.
Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this baby bottle set.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These bottles are our absolute favorite. They are super easy to clean, my little one does great with them, and the price point is great. My little one is bottle fed and breast fed and she had no problem with these bottles. Love them! Thank you Stellar Product Testing Panel for giving me a chance to try these out!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The 9oz Philips Avent Natural Baby Bottle With Natural Response Nipples were taken to quickly by my 9 month old; She didn’t show any opposition to these at all. She nurses with me half the time and has bottles, but this was the first time with this style bipolar and it went smoothly! I love how easy these bottles are to clean, especially with the wide opening to allow the bottle brush without mashing it. They’re light weight and easy for my baby to hold on her own as well. I enjoyed trying these as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a fantastic bottle. We love how simple it is to clean and baby loves drinking from it! Our breastfed baby took to this bottle quickly. She was able to latch accurately every time. The bottle does a good job mimicking breastfeeding! I received this baby bottle set from the Stellar Product Testing Panel.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this baby bottle set. When I first open the bottle set I was very impressed with the design and look of the product. There are not many parts to clean, so that is a big plus!
I have mainly been breast-feeding my son but in preparation for daycare, we needed to make sure that he could take a bottle. Unfortunately, taking a bottle was not as easy of a transition for him and this mama started to panic. *Cue trying numerous bottle brands to make sure your baby will eat.*
What I like about this bottle is that the wide was and flow of the nipples definitely emulate a mother’s breast. I think that definitely helped with the transition and being able to switch from breast to bottle.
When comparing it to a Dr. Browns bottle, the thing that I maybe don’t like about this Avent bottle is that it does not have an anti-gas suction, which helps reduce spit up. My babies have always spit up a lot so that type of functionality would’ve been nice, but…not having that piece does make it easier to clean, so I guess it’s a trade-off, or if your baby does not spit up maybe a moot point.
The only other thing I would be mindful of is that these bottles do not fit into your standard baby bag. I have three different baby bags, all which have an insulated section for a bottle, and these bottles are too wide to fit in them. Again, I think they’re wideness helps them mimic it with mothers breast, but that is definitely something to consider if you know you were going to be on the go a lot and want them to be able to easily fit into a baby bag.
Overall, I would recommend. Especially if your baby is having a hard time transitioning from breast to bottle and your baby does not always have the option to breastfeed.
