Philips Avent Natural Baby Bottle Fast Flow Nipple, 6M+, 2pk, SCF654/23

I was hesitant to test out a new bottle and a new, fast flow nipple because my baby has only ever used one (different) brand of bottles and nipples and had not yet moved up to a fast flow nipple. The Avent Natural Fast Flow nipple is awesome! I offered it to my nine month old and was surprised and delighted that he took to it immediately. The nipple is shaped more like a breast than the ones he is used to, and I think that was actually part of why he was so quick to use it (we breast and bottle feed). I think it is great that there are options for different flow rates; some babies (like my older child) prefer a slower flow, but others, like my nine month old, are more voracious eaters and he was much less impatient/fussy with the Natural Fast Flow nipple. The design also clearly works well to prevent gas – I could see little bubbles forming on top of the milk in the bottle as he drank, which meant he was not taking in that air. The bottle is a bit on the wide side for my comfort when holding it, but the minimal number of parts, ease it takes to clean and assemble, and nipple shape/flow make it a serious win. Happy baby, happy mom! Thanks to the weeSpring Parent Panel for providing me with this product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My son had colic until 3 months (he is now 10 months) and, as a result, we have tried about a dozen brands of bottles and nipples. To be fair, he has never had an issue switching around but Avent has always been one of our favorites, not only because our son likes it but because the bottles are so easy to put together and take apart. The fast flow nipple has proven to be yet another solid choice. These days, he gets very frustrated when we use a slow flow, so having a fast flow option (which we had not tried up to this point), is fantastic. He no longer stops in the middle of a bottle to get frustrated! I won't lie, I also love the look of the Avent bottles as compared to any other bottle on the market. I was given this bottle nipple to try as part of the weeSpring Parent Panel. Thanks, weeSpring and Avent!
