Bottle feeding

Natural Response baby bottle and teat

Supporting baby's own drinking rhythm, like at the breast.

Want to get in touch?

Adaptive technology based on baby's physiology

When babies breastfeed, they combine drinking with breathing using their own unique suck-swallow-breathe pattern. Once baby latches on, our new Natural Response bottle with Natural Response teat only releases milk when baby actively drinks. When baby stops sucking, milk extraction stops so baby can breathe - like at the breast.

Baby's own drinking pattern

Unlike conventional free-flow teats, our Natural Response teat is designed to work more like a breast. The Natural Response adaptive technology allows babies to stop and pause - so they can enjoy a comfortable feed and follow their own natural suck-swallow-breathe rhythm.

Baby's own drinking pattern
No more continuous flow

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 bottle with Natural Response teat was designed to function and feel more like a breast. So when switching to our new bottle and teat, babies continue actively drinking, like they do at the breast.

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.

Perfect teat!

My son recently started refusing bottles from a different brand but since using this bottle he has been drinking out of a bottle more frequently. The teat is more natural seeming and therefore easier for him to drink from. I love that it glows in the dark so it can be easily seen at nighttime. Its also super easy to disassemble and assemble again after washing and sterilising.

Pros

Glows in the dark, more natural teat, easy to disassemble and assemble

Cons

Does not remove bubbles

Absolutely worth it - a game-changer!

I’ve been using this Philips Avent Natural Response Nighttime baby bottle for a while now and honestly, it has completely transformed our evening and overnight feeding routine. From the thoughtful design to the baby-friendly features, it’s hands-down one of the best bottles we’ve used. What makes this bottle stand out is the gentle glow-in-the-dark ring, it’s subtle but perfect for night feeds. I no longer have to flip lights on or wake the whole household trying to find the bottle. It emits just enough light to see what I’m doing without disturbing baby’s sleep. The Natural Response teat only releases milk when baby is actively feeding, so there’s no constant flow or drips when your little one pauses. This feels far more natural than other bottles we’ve tried and makes the transition between breastfeeding and bottle feeding so much easier. It’s simple to assemble and clean, which is such a relief in the middle of a hectic day with a little one. Overall, this bottle is thoughtfully designed with both parents and babies in mind. Whether you’re combining breastfeeding and bottle feeding or just tackling those late-night top-ups, it does exactly what it promises and more. Absolutely worth the 5 stars!
