Philips Avent Glass Natural Baby Bottle with Natural Response Nipple 8 oz

I received the Philips Avent Glass Natural Baby Bottle With Natural Response Nipple, 8oz, 3 pack, through the Stellar Product Testing Panel. The timing of this was perfect for me, as my eight month old has been transitioning to more solids, but hadn’t taken to any liquids other than breastmilk yet. My doctor had recommended including water in her diet, and these fit the bill.First, the natural response nipples were an ideal transition for my baby, because the method used to drink from them was so similar to breastfeeding. For her first use she was momentarily confused, but she took to it very quickly. I didn’t notice any unusual gas or colic issues, which was a concern I had about transition to a bottle, so that was a big plus.This is a niche concern, but ... MoreI received the Philips Avent Glass Natural Baby Bottle With Natural Response Nipple, 8oz, 3 pack, through the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

For her first use she was momentarily confused, but she took to it very quickly. I didn’t notice any unusual gas or colic issues, which was a concern I had about transition to a bottle, so that was a big plus.This is a niche concern, but because I still breastfeed I was worried about my daughter developing a “bottle preference”, which happened with one of my older children. Because bottles are much easier to drink from, some babies prefer them over the breast. Luckily, this nipple required her to work just as hard as the breast, so it didn’t introduce any issues for us.The only other nipple I know of on the market that works like this is complex, and will totally fail (ie spill) if you put it together incorrectly. Further, the long, narrow design was off-putting for my older children. This nipple is essentially fool proof to put together, and the wider fit is both comfortable and wonderfully easy to clean.All in all I think this nipple fulfills a much-needed niche and represents a real improvement over other models currently available. I would recommend it to anyone looking to introduce a baby to the bottle gently.Lastly, the bottles were lovely. They are a good weight, comfortable to hold, and easy to clean and sterilize. They are heavier than a plastic bottle, but my daughter didn’t struggle to hold them at 8 months. I did accidentally drop one on my wood floor and it did not break, but I would be cautious about using them on the go. Beautiful to look at, though!

I’ve been wanting to try out a glass bottle for a long time so I was excited to receive the Philips Avent Glass Bottles. My baby is older and can be fairly picky with her bottles, but she took to the Natural Response Nipple right away. She is mostly breastfed but had no issue with this nipple, it has a nice wide shape and is very soft and flexible. As she is older, colic and gas are no longer issues for us, but this nipple has a great anti-colic air vent on it (one of the best I’ve seen!) so I feel like that would be quite beneficial for a younger baby. The bottles themselves are gorgeous. The shape is very ergonomic and nice to hold, and the glass is lightweight but sturdy. They are slightly taller and narrower than their plastic counterpart, and hold a little bit ... MoreI’ve been wanting to try out a glass bottle for a long time so I was excited to receive the Philips Avent Glass Bottles.

They are slightly taller and narrower than their plastic counterpart, and hold a little bit less milk (8oz vs. 9oz) but that’s not an issue for us. Lastly, they are easy and quick to assemble/ disassemble and clean due to only being 3 pieces. They’ve held us great in the dishwasher thus far. Overall I’m very pleased with these bottles and nipples, and so is my baby! I would highly recommend them to other parents. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this bottle and nipple set to test and review.

The first thing I noticed when I opened up these bottles is that they feel and look very high quality. They have a sleek look and the glass is thick, smooth, and clear. They are super simple to take apart and have washed well and held up in the dishwasher. However, because the glass is high quality thick glass, the bottle is unfortunately very heavy. The weight and shape feel good in my adult hands, but my daughter who is 9 months old likes to hold the bottle herself and this bottle is just too big and heavy for her. It does pack very well in my diaper backpack, it fits perfectly in the sleeve and I have no worries about it leaking, but I would probably opt for plastic when going out since its lighter and less likely to break if dropped.I received flow level 3 ... MoreThe first thing I noticed when I opened up these bottles is that they feel and look very high quality.

The nipples are AMAZING- We have gone through some serious struggles getting my daughter to take a bottle over the past 5 months and she latched and drank from these nipples right away. Her pace of drinking is great with this bottle and she seems to be able to breathe as she drinks. As a bonus, I love that they don't leak and drip down her face! I will definitely continue to use these nipples but I will put them on a bottle that my daughter can manage better.Overall, I would recommend this set of bottles if you are family who prefers glass bottles over plastic. I would recommend the nipples to anyone who is struggling to find a bottle that works for their baby.Thank you to Stellar Product Testing Panel for these beautiful bottles!
