Philips Avent Natural Response Nipples, Extra Slow Flow (Flow 1), 4-Pack, SCY961/04

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thank you Stellar Product testing panel for sending me the avent natural response nipple set. I plan to continue to try and use the nipples. I'm impressed with the thickness of rubber but it has not been my babies favorite nipple. He is breastfed and he don't seem to stay latched like he does with other brands. I felt like the flow was slow even though he is only three months old.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with the Avent Natural Response Nipple set. I wanted to love these nipples since they paired with the Avent glass bottle I've really enjoyed using, but unfortunately they didn't work for us. These nipples created a very shallow latch for my baby, which was especially difficult during a fragile time in our breastfeeding journey. I'm working hard to move toward exclusive breastfeeding, and this nipple shape made things harder. My lactation consultant specifically advised me to discontinue use due to its impact on my baby's latch and my comfort. As a result, I can't recommend it to other nursing families, especially those who are working through latch issues or trying to establish a strong breastfeeding relationship. While the nipple is easy to clean and well-made, that alone isn't enough to justify using it in our case. We've chosen not to continue with this product moving forward. I do hope Avent explores alternative nipple shapes or flow options in the future that are more supportive of breastfeeding goals.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the Avent Natural Response Nipple set for free to try out, and overall, I was really pleased with it! I gave it a 4 out of 5 because it worked very well for us, with just a couple of minor things I'd tweak. The no-drip tip is a great feature — I noticed it helped reduce mess and waste during feedings, which I really appreciated. My baby was able to comfortably pause to swallow and breathe while feeding without any leaking or dribbling, making the experience smoother for both of us. The flow rate felt like a good, natural pace for my little one. It wasn't too fast or too slow, and it mimicked breastfeeding well, which helped with our combination feeding routine. I could see this pace being perfect for a baby who's transitioning between breast and bottle, or for times when you want to encourage a more natural, paced feed. I also liked the wide shape and soft feel of the nipple — it made latching easy for my baby and seemed comfortable for them. Cleaning was simple too, with no hard-to-reach spots, which is a big plus for busy parents. What I liked most about these bottle nipples was how closely they resembled the breastfeeding experience. The natural feel and responsive flow helped make feeds feel calm and familiar for my baby. I'd definitely recommend them to other parents looking for a bottle nipple that supports a more natural feeding rhythm.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I finally found a nipple that actually works for my baby! The best part is that it doesn't flood her with milk, so she can feed at her own pace - pausing to breathe and swallow just like she does while breastfeeding. It's really helped keep our breastfeeding journey on track, and it's been a game-changer for letting others feed her comfortably, too. One downside, though, is that I can't really tell much of a difference between the size 1 and 2 nipples. It's a little confusing when trying to figure out which one is best as she grows, since they seem to work pretty much the same. That said, the wide nipple shape supports a good latch, and it's super easy to clean. It's held up well through constant washing and sterilizing. Overall, a solid choice! Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me the opportunity to try this product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been really happy with the Avent Natural Response nipples. The no-drip tip is makes prepping bottles mess-free, even during late-night feeds. What I really appreciated was how the flow let my baby pause naturally to breathe and swallow, without the milk gushing out. She's 3 months old, and the flow was just right for her. She stayed relaxed and content through each feeding. The wide, soft nipple shape is definitely my favorite feature. It closely mimics the breast, which was super important for us to avoid nipple confusion since she's mostly breastfed. I also found it easy to clean—the wide opening made that part way less of a hassle. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this nipple set. Overall, we've had a great experience and I would definitely recommend these nipples to other breastfeeding parents looking for a bottle that supports a natural, baby-led feeding rhythm.
