Philips Avent Natural Baby Bottle with Natural Response Nipple, Essentials Baby Gift Set, SCD839/02

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was given this baby bottle gift set to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. I've used Avent bottles in the past and these are actually my preferred bottles to attach (seamlessly) to my breast pump. These bottles are easy to use and don't leak which is unbelievable frustrating if you are putting liquid gold in them. I've never, even after two kids, owned a bottle warmer until now. What a game changer! This set has all of the basics I would have loved to start off with when I had my first. I would most likely supplement with glass bottles, they make the exact same style in glass, because I found the fatty milk separation seems to leave less of a lasting mark on glass. Both of my babies have loved these bottles and they are the kind I recommend to friends that are using a similar pump to mine. I got this set after my child had already become extremely partial to a different brand of pacifier so we didn't have any luck their. The little snuggle buddy is fine on it's own as a toy. For me, the best part about the set is that it's the bottles I recommend with the extra bells and whistles that I didn't realize would be helpful the first time around. This is a great choice for a first time parent.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It was awesome to receive the Philips Avent Natural All In One Gift Set With Snuggle Giraffe as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. My daughter was already familiar with the snuggle soother animals which we use in her crib for sleep always with 2 different pacifiers so she has options. I love that you can use the Avent pacifiers connected to the giraffe's mouth but also connect a pacifier of a different brand to the hand. Best yet is the fact that the pacifiers do disconnect to make it easier to wash them. This gift set included 2 sizes of the Avent natural bottles (4oz and 9oz) with size 0 and 1 nipples. Because it's a starter set, the nipple sizes are the lowest. These nipple sizes are too low for my 9.5 month old, so I switched them out for other 4s and some 3s I had on hand. The included pacifiers are listed as being for 0-3 and 0-6 but she still uses the 0-3 type on her Avent Monkey soother that's been in her crib for months and I attached a 3-6 Avent Super Soothie to the giraffe along with another brand she likes on the hand. So all in all, most of the items were usable, and we can save the 0 and 1 nipples for a little sibling. The 4oz bottles are generally too small for a full feed but they are perfect for a snack size feed and I can do a smaller pumping session into them with the Avent hand pump I have or pour into them to store the milk I'm in using another pump. I was most nervous about the bottle warmer included in this set since we have an older model Avent warmer and after a while of using it have since switched to using just a metal cup of hot water to warm my bags of frozen milk because it took longer with that warmer and wasn't as accurate to get the milk to the right temp, but this newer model far exceeded my expectations. It was a lot easier to use, having better functionality and so I was able to heat any amount of milk up quickly to the right temperature! All in all this is an excellent gift set for someone with a new baby or babies, and even for those with older babies like us!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Avent Natural bottle gift set is a perfect gift for any expectant parent! My 6-month old took to the bottles extremely easily - like I had been using them since his first day! My favorite part, actually, is the pacifier with the lovey attached. He is interested in the cute little giraffe every time I give it to him, which is really helpful during a diaper change or a crying jag. And I appreciate that I can detach the giraffe to clean it from the inevitable drops on the ground or while I'm sanitizing the pacifier part. SO helpful! I also love how easy it is to use the bottle warmer. My current one takes distilled water and is much harder to clean. This one is a breeze. I would highly recommend as a shower gift or even a purchase for yourself! Thank you to Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this bottle gift set to try out.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This gift set sent to me by Stellar Reviews is amazing! It literally has all you need to start you off with your newborn, especially if you are exclusively pumping or giving formula or both! Bonus, it comes with a cute stuffed animal. The bottle warmer is a great addition especially if it's important to you mommies that want to give your newborn warm milk. It works but to me, personally, not fast enough. But that's just a personal preference, the bottle warmer does work! Overall, I would recommend this as a great gift for newborns!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was blown away by all of the pieces and parts included in the Philips Avent Natural All in One Gift Set with Snuggle Giraffe that I received as part of a Stellar Product Testing Panel. I like that it was a "one stop shop in a box" and you have all of the necessities for bottle feeding your baby. It was nice that the set included two different size bottles, something we had to run out and get at the last minute for our first child. I would definitely recommend this set to all Mamas, and it could be used for multiple pregnancies as well. Since I am not a huge fan of the pacifiers with a lovie attached, it is nice that the Snuggle Giraffe can easily be attached and used in a different way. My favorite component of the set is how two different bottle sizes are included. This is such a nice perk, and something I never would have anticipated as a first time Mom!
