Baby liked latch but had issues with milk flow
on December 11, 2022
Posted by: Beastmaster
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall I was impressed with the Natural Response Nipple on the Philips Avent bottle. I received this bottle set as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel and my baby had never used a bottle before. She is 5 months old and exclusively breastfed. I was surprised at how easily she latched onto the bottle the first time and started sucking. She was perfectly content drinking from the bottle for about ten minutes, then got frustrated as she had only gotten about 20 mL of milk out during that time. I think a higher flow nipple would be ideal for her as she is typically a fast drinker. We have the level 3 flow nipple. We have used it several times with the same results. I was impressed with how well she switched back and forth between breastfeeding and the bottle, but was disappointed that she couldn't seem to get much milk out.
I tried out the "no leak nipple" by holding the bottle upside down and shaking it and there really was not a single drop that came out. I like that feature as babies often choke on extra milk that comes out of other bottles when they aren't sucking, which didn't happen a single time for us with this natural response nipple. My daughter also didn't seem to get much extra air while using the bottle and only needed a little burp after drinking.
The bottle was straight-forward to assemble, easy to clean and use, as well as comfortable to hold while feeding. As someone relatively new to bottles, I couldn't find anywhere in the instructions that mentioned whether the air valve on the nipple needs to be aimed a certain direction in order to work properly, but it didn't seem to make a difference so maybe it works any which way.
I would recommend this product for anyone planning to switch between breastfeeding and a bottle, but would recommend trying a faster flow nipple than you think you need.

Good for picky babies
on December 10, 2022
Posted by: LanaTouch
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was very excited to try the bottle thanks Stellar Panel.
My baby is very picky about the bottles, but I don’t have enough milk supply, so we tried to get him on mixed feeding.
The bottle size is more than enough for a size portion from 0 till 12 months. It also had some unique features I have never seen before, like the nipple shape that mimics breast, it really helped baby to latch and didn’t caused gagging.
The baby was able to control the flow of the milk very easily and didn’t swallow lots of air like he did with our previous bottle.
The bottle and the nipple are easy to clean and disassemble, which is a nice bonus as well.

Perfect for breastfed babies
on December 10, 2022

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall, loved this Natural Baby Bottle with Natural Response Nipple by Phillips Avent.
I’m a Speech-Language Pathologist (with extensive training in feeding and swallowing) with an exclusively breastfed 10 month old. I was looking for a bottle and nipple that emulates breastfeeding and this one fits the bill! Huge thanks to Stellar Product Testing Panel for letting me try this bottle set out!
PROS: safe, breastfeeding and pumping friendly, facilitates feeding independence
The no-drip nipple meant that he never lost milk to dribbles during bottle feeding- no lost pumped milk, what a blessing. Plus he didn’t choke once on it. I also really liked that the nipple was shaped exactly like mine (down to the holes in the tip of the nipple- see pic!) which helped him avoid nipple confusion as he is new to the bottle. No issues switching between breastfeeding and bottle feeding!! I also liked that the bottle was easy for him to hold because we are also working on independence while eating and drinking.
CONS: volume markers were hard to read
The volume markings on the bottle, while a pleasing grey colour, made it hard for me to see beginning and end volumes with a quick glance. A darker colour might be easier for my tired eyes!
Cheers, Phillips Avent on a well-designed product!

good functional bottle
on December 10, 2022
Posted by: bottleset
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We were so lucky to receive this bottle set through the Stellar Product Testing Panel. My little girl just turned one and prefers bottles at bedtime. We liked this bottle a lot because she could comfortably hold it herself with only one hand. The nipple flow was a bit slow, so it made a whistling sound when she sucked on it too hard, but overall it was great! Very easy to clean.

Breastfeeding backup
on December 10, 2022
Posted by: Mel22
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was given this bottle to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. I almost exclusively breastfeed my 5 month old, but appreciate having bottle options for if I need to be away from my son.
My son accepted this bottle quickly, and he is fairly picky given low bottle exposure. I love that there is a no drip tip because my baby is in a distracted eating phase where he unlatches from breast or bottle frequently to look around. Minimizing spills means less cleanup for me. And cleanup for this product is simple. The nipple detaches easily from the base for thorough cleaning. The flow seems adequate for my son who gets frustrated with some slow flow nipples. He has tried to hold the bottle himself but the width is a bit difficult for him at 5 months. The 9oz bottle is quite large for us given he is not taking that much in a feeding yet, but he does not seem gassy if I only fill the bottle with 3-4oz. Ultimately I would recommend this to other moms who have babies that are a bit particular, and who are looking for easy cleaning options.

Good for gassy baby
on December 10, 2022
Posted by: Whitney
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product as part of the stellar product testing panel. I normally breastfeed but use a bottle when I pump and when I leave baby with someone else. I haven’t been able to find a bottle that baby takes easily. But this one has been great! There are different types of nipples that control the flow based off of baby’s age. That has helped so much with her gas and she doesn’t stop and choke during feedings. The shape and feel of the nipple has helped her be able to switch from breastfeeding to bottle feeding pretty easily. I would definitely recommend this bottle.

Great bottle
on December 10, 2022
Posted by: AKendrick
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We are very happy with the Philips Avent Natural Response bottle! I received this baby bottle from the Stellar Product Testing Panel and couldn’t be happier. My son was born with a tongue and lip tie (both have been corrected) so finding a bottle that requires him to latch and control the flow of his food was super important to us. This bottle checks all of the boxes!

Flow that is too slow
on December 10, 2022
Posted by: annelizabeth75
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this baby bottle from the Stellar Product Testing Panel. I was really excited to try these new bottles. My daughter was born premature at 34 weeks and we give her two bottles a day with a special formula that has extra vitamins and calories. The slow flow is generally perfect for our breastfed baby. We used the 0m+ and there 1m+, and my daughter couldn’t get the milk out. I was excited about the no leak bottle, but unfortunately the no leak also meant the milk had a really hard time coming out. The bottle itself was a really nice shape to hold for me, and the nipple seemed similar to a breast, so I was excited to use it for my breastfed infant. The bottle was also very easy to disassemble and clean. I might try a faster flow because I did like the shape of the nipple and bottle so well. And maybe the nipple flows we tried would work for bigger, more mature babies, but they unfortunately did not work for us.

Hi,
Thanks for your review regarding our Avent Natural Response Baby Bottle. We are pleased to hear that you like the design and the bottle has been easy to clean. What a shame that your daughter was unable to feed well, we hope we can help improve the experience for you both! We designed the nipple range to work for all different of drinking patterns, from fast and enthusiastic to slow and steady. The Natural Response Nipple is available in nipple flows 1 to 5. The flow rate of milk they get from the nipple is linked to how enthusiastically or steadily they drink as they develop. Slow and steady drinkers are likely to prefer a higher nipple flow (such as nipple 4 or 5), to ensure enough milk flows, regardless of age.
If you have any further questions, please feel free to get in touch with our dedicated Avent Parent and Child Care team on 1-800-542-8368. One of our colleagues will then try their best to help you further.
Kind regards,
