PHILIPS AVENT 0 MONTHS NATURAL NEWBORN GIFT SET 1 EA

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received Philips Avent Natural Baby Bottle Newborn Baby Gift Set free from Stellar Product Testing Panel. My baby started using this set at 5 months old. We were previously using another brand with A LOT of pieces. Our former reflux baby had was able to transition easily and we have decided to completely swap over to the Avent Natural bottles to cut down on washing bottle parts! Even my husband commented the bottle brush is fantastic, it gets in all the spaces easily and cleans in just a few swipes. Baby was no longer breastfeeding at this time, but the bottle's wide, soft bottle nipples kept her mouth in a very similar position, which I imagine would make a smooth transition for a breastfeeding baby too. I can hear the air flow suction release as she drinks and just gently pressing the edge of the nipple with my finger, I can feel that feature working. Air intake was something we worried about with switching bottle brands, but it seems not to be an issue! She was a bit messy at first taking this bottle, but that got better within 2 weeks as she learned the new bottle. (Honestly, that milk dribble out the corners of her mouth isn't much different from breastfeeding either!) My baby will only accept one brand of pacifier. She enjoyed gnawing on the Avent smoothies for a few minutes to relieve teething gums though! I liked that a few different nipple flow sizes were included in the set because it took a bit of trial and error to see what worked best for our baby. From experience, it's really helpful to have the next size already on hand when you start noticing a really hungry baby working hard at sucking to get more milk faster!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Philips Avent Natural Baby Bottle Newborn Baby Gift Set is an incredible value for what you receive. I recommend this set for new parents that will be combo feeding. The natural response nipple allowed my twins to easily transition between the breast and bottle since it mimics the breast by requiring suction for release. This helped me get some extra rest since it allowed other caregivers to feed the boys while I rested. The extra Soothie pacifiers provided are very similar to the ones from our hospital and the babies took to them right away. One of my favourite pieces is the sealing disks that allow me to store and transport bottles without the nipple attached which has been a major space saver on the top shelf of the fridge. My only concern would be the bottle brush that is included. While it cleans the bottles well, it is a little to big to be used on the nipples. I will be purchasing more of these bottles to accommodate for both my twins. Thank you Stellar Reviews for providing the bottle set and allowing me to be a part of the testing panel.
