Phillips Avent Natural Response Nipple
[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.
