Philips Avent Natural Baby Bottle with Natural Response Nipple Newborn Gift Set, SCD837/03

Packaged with care. Nice product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was given this baby bottle gift set to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel and we loved it! My 3 month old had no problem testing these bottles. In the past I would always look for "slow flow" or even 0 flow nipples (even with my first child) and they would still come out fast or just drip when baby was not suckling and that would cause her to both choke and gulp in lots of air. I have gone through MANY bottle brands and nipples that claimed to help with swallowing lots of air and I have got to say these were the best in our experience. The packaging says "no drip design" so I tested that out. I held the bottle upside down for a minute to see if it would drip out and it didn't! I even tried drinking from it myself and you have to work for it to come out making it a breeze when switching back and forth from breastfeeding and bottle feeding. I was even comfortable with it sitting in her mouth between pauses and she didn't choke once with these bottles. They truly are "no drip" nipples and baby does truly "control the pace like breastfeeding". My favorite part about this gift set is it's all easy to CLEAN. These bottles are just three pieces. There are no extra little pieces and tiny brushes to clean different parts. It's all just three pieces of a bottle and ONE brush. The brush has a nipple cleaner at the one end. This is a plus because it's all one piece leaving no room for mold to grow over time like it can on the bottle brushes with detachable nipple cleaners. The bristles on the brush are not as hard as I expected. It's soft and non-abrasive yet cleans the bottle and grooves of the nipple cap well. I've included photos of the brush with all parts of the bottle for visuals. Notice the brush also scrubs the bottom of the bottle well, which can't be said of other bottle brushes. The only downside I may have about this gift set is the nipple cleaner. It's not like a brush. It has ridges where you just turn it around inside the nipple. I cleaned or rinsed my bottles right away after each feeding, but I'm not too sure how that nipple cleaner would hold up against milk that has set over night or even a couple days. I have a photo of what it looks like when inside the nipple as well for your convenience. I could go on about this set. I'm telling you I went through so many brands and I'm not just saying that. If you're looking for the best gift set and one that is also breastfeeding friendly it's this one!
