Philips Avent Natural Baby Bottle Newborn Nipple, 0M+, 4pk, SCF651/43

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My daughter would get upset during her bottle time, and I couldn't figure out why. I knew she was hungry and I could see her sucking furiously on her bottle. But yet she kept crying. After doing some research on Google I learned that the size of the nipple matters. Slow flow will cause baby to be cranky and frustrated because it won't be getting its milk fast enough. Fast flow will feel like Niagara Falls to your baby. Philips Avent bottle offers a nipple size to meet every baby's needs. The nipples offer a natural latch that is similar to the breast that features unique comfort petals, so it is easier for baby to transfer back and forth from breast feeding to bottle feeding. The Natural nipples also feature an advanced anti-colic valve. Our daughter never had any tummy issues when using these nipples. I would highly recommend trying this brand, for the quality, and how well my daughter took to it with no more tummy issues. Thank you to weeSpring Parent Panel for sending me these nipples to try and review.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The newborn nipple worked well especially because we think our baby has colic like symptoms sometimes and the nipple seems to help. It was a change for him but he took to it well. Thank you to weespring parent panel who gave us this to try.

Thanks to the weeSpring Parent Panel, my baby and I were given and able to try the Philips Avent Natural Newborn Nipple. As a mom hoping to exclusively breastfeed for the time being but aware that I needed to introduce a bottle at the right time (not to soon, not too late), I was anxious about doing so the first time. Fortunately, my baby took to the nipple immediately (and doesn't seem to have strong preferences regarding style and flow rate or issues with colic and gas), but I was relieved to have the newborn size as I want to ensure my baby can continue to both breast and bottle feed.

I have a 2.5 year old and a 4 week old. My first was a terrible eater, in fact, I wouldn't even call her an eater at all, she just didn't eat. She ended up on a feeding tube for 6 months after trying every nipple/bottle and every formula on the planet. With my newborn, this kid is an eater! All he wants to do is eat! We already had a tried and true nipple/bottle that we love (after trying them all with my daughter!), but I was given this product to try as part of the weeSpring Parent Panel, so we tried the newborn nipple with our little one. I will say, it's great that they offer the newborn size nipple, it's great to have options! My newborn had no issues eating from this nipple, and doesn't seem to have a preference on flow rate, but his latch was not the same as it is on the breast or the bottles we have that much more similarly resemble the breast. So, he didn't eat as efficiently and in turn had horrible gas and spit up. We had a hard time getting his burps out and then he had horrible gas on the other end too. I felt so bad for the little guy, we never have these issues with our usual bottles and nipples. So I would say that these did not help us with reflux or gas at all. I personally would not recommend these at all if you are worried about gas/colic/reflux with your little one. On the other hand, if you do like the Avent bottles/nipples, these nipples are easy to clean and are great to have as an option for the little ones. Thanks to the weeSpring Parent Panel for providing me with this product to try!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These nipples are really different than any other ones I tried. They are marketed as mimicking the softness of a nipple and I can see how Philips took the time to make them sturdy but with different softer spots around the edge. Also the top of the nipple has little flow guides that seem to help the milk come out in a similar spiraling way to breastmilk (which I have noticed comes out in a helix twist when I hand express). With other nipples, my firstborn always had trouble latching because they were so big and he was tongue tied. These nipples are soft enough that my newborn latches easily and doesn't inhale extra air (the anti-colic valve helps with this as well). I think my newborn is also tongue tied a little bit and he definitely has a lip tie so it's very important for me to find products that will help his latch as much as possible. With these nipples, his lips are able to flange outwards to create optimal suction and I didn't need to help him insert the nipple in his mouth multiple times as I have had to in the past. I will probably use these newborn nipples even when my son gets older since my older son got nipple confusion with a different brand and refused the breast for months after I introduced bottles. I was scared this would happen again but at the same time, I wanted to have him bottle feed as well because it's practical, less tiring and it enables other family members to enjoy his feedings too. I feel like this would be less likely to happen this time around because of the slower flow rate and softer nipple. * I received the product as part of the weeSpring Parent Panel *
