Bottle feeding
Philips Avent Natural Response teat
Inspired by physiology, with respect for baby's own drinking rhythm.
No more continuous flow
When babies latch on, they create baseline suction. This is when conventional free-flow bottles start to flow. With our new Natural Response technology, milk only flows when baby actively drinks. When baby pauses (and breathes), milk extraction stops.
Switch easily between breast and bottle
Parents worry about nipple confusion. The new Natural Response teat was designed to feel and function like a breast. So when switching from breastfeeding to our new bottle and teat, babies continue actively drinking, like they do at the breast.
Adapts to baby's own physiology
The flexible Natural Response teat can be compressed and move side-to-side. The teat tip shape adjusts to baby's mouth to suit the infant's individual anatomy. And the patterned silicone mimics the texture of skin.
Allows babies to suck, swallow and breathe their own way
Researchers looked closely at studies into how babies coordinate sucking, swallowing and breathing - starting with a secure latch onto Natural Response teat. In contrast with free-flow bottles, now when baby pauses to breathe milk release stops.
How does it work?
When babies drink from the breast, they have their own suck-swallow-breathe pattern. Our new Natural Response bottle and teat respects this natural way of drinking.

Discolouration of nipple after sterilisation
Very disappointed to notice yellowish color in the nipple after sterilisation (before first use). I have been contacting customer care via email for more than a month but no proper response from them. My pediatrician says such nipples shouldn’t be used but your website says it can be used. If it can be used? Please provide a proper proof from a doctor that yellow color nipple can be used. FYI- I haven’t exposed this item to direct sunlight and haven’t used hard water. I see this issue is recurring. Your team has failed to respond to my concern
Cons
Received defective piece for more than 4 times
