The Philips Avent Natural Response bottle excels at helping breastfed babies transition to bottle feeding. Its unique nipple only releases milk when baby actively sucks, closely mimicking breastfeeding rhythm. The wide, soft nipple encourages proper latch while the anti-colic vent prevents air intake without complex additional parts. Available in 4oz, 9oz and 11oz sizes, the bottle features clear ounce markings and a comfortable ergonomic shape.
Testing showed zero leakage even when shaken vigorously, making it ideal for diaper bags. The simple three-piece design (bottle, nipple, collar) makes cleaning straightforward compared to bottles with more components. Some parents note the Natural Response nipple requires babies to work slightly harder than traditional free-flow nipples, which helps prevent overfeeding but may frustrate some infants initially. The bottle's materials are BPA-free and dishwasher safe, though hand washing is recommended for the nipple to preserve its softness and flexibility.
