Philips Avent Natural Response Nipples, Medium Flow (Flow 3), 4-Pack, SCY963/44

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the Phillips Avent Natural Response Nipple Set to test as part of the Stellar Review Panel. My favorite thing about the nipple is that it is soft and stretchy and has a wide base that closely mimics a real nipple and I was hopeful that my mostly breastfed baby would take to it quickly. The shape makes it easy for her to have the flipped out “duck lip” shape with her lips to achieve a complete and comfortable latch. The slow pace of the nipple was good for her even though she is almost 8 months old. I think the slower pace more closely mimics what she experiences at the breast and would help avoid any nipple preference that she might develop with a faster paced nipple flow. I noticed she was able to easily coordinate sucking with pausing to swallow and the no-drip nipple didn't seem to keep dripping or cause her to choke or gag when she stopped to swallow. It also wouldn't drip when she would drop the bottle so I think the no-drip tip feature works very well. The nipple is silicone and it is very easy to clean with just your pinky finger or a special commercially made piece to clean bottle nipples. Overall, my baby took to the nipple more easily than I thought she would for rarely taking a bottle and I will keep using the nipple set when she needs to take a bottle in the future.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was so excited to try the Avent Natural Response Nipple Set as a product for the Stellar testing Panel. My son was able to adapt to the bottle nipple very quickly. The no drip tip made it the bottle feeding experience almost mess free, and allowed my baby to pause to take a breather during feeds without coughing or wheezing. I felt like the wide shape nipple was easy to clean with our bottle brush and felt very natural to my baby who is also still breastfed, the flow seemed fast enough for his stage so he seemed very comfortable!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this nipple set. I loved this nipple for our bottles — it was fantastic for paced feeding! My little girl tends to drink her milk quickly and often ends up with an upset stomach, but this nipple really helped. I especially love the no-drip feature; I can turn the bottle upside down and it won't leak, which is amazing. The wide neck design is another huge plus! Since my baby had oral ties, the wide shape made it much easier for both of us, and it's also so much easier to clean!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These bottles and nipples are great! The only reason I wouldn't give a 5 is because they are slow, so my baby did out grow them quickly. I love there aren't a lot of pieces and easy to clean! I received this product as part of the Stellar Review Panel.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the Avent Natural Response Nipple Set as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. As a first-time mom with an exclusively breastfed baby, I was really nervous about introducing bottles. I love breastfeeding and had heard so many stories about babies preferring bottles and then refusing the breast. But just a week into using the Avent Natural Response Nipples, all those worries disappeared. What I loved most about these nipples is how much they mimic breastfeeding. My baby had no trouble going from breast to bottle and back again. Three weeks later, that's still the case. The no-drip tip made feedings a lot less messy, which was a nice bonus. More importantly, it gave my baby time to pause, swallow, and breathe, just like during nursing. The flow felt just right, not too fast, not too slow, and my daughter took to the nipples right away. I've already bought a second set to have more on hand at home. These have made the transition to occasional bottle-feeding so much easier, and I'd definitely recommend them to other breastfeeding moms who are looking for a smooth combo-feeding option.
