Feeding for baby
Storing and thawing milk
Bottle and teat | Philips
Inspired by physiology, with respect for baby's own drinking rhythm.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Feels and works like a breast
Allows for baby's own suck-swallow-breathe rhythm like at the breast, enabling an easier switch between breast and bottle.
The wide teat base allows for proper lip and tongue placement, to ensure seal, reduce air intake and increase milk extraction.
The new Natural Response teat is made of patterned silicone to mimic skin's texture and softness.
