Philips AVENT Flesspeen Natural 3.0 +1mnd 2-pack

I currently have a 7mo old and the 3 flow nipple is perfect for her. What I loved most about this nipple set is the clear label of the flow. You can’t miss the 3 on the nipple and it makes it so much easier when you’re washing a hundred different parts to find the appropriate one. My little one is also now holding her own bottle and even the 3 flow does not drip when she drops it or misses her mouth. It does not leak but also provides the perfect flow so she does not feel frustrated. My little one is primarily breast fed with the occasional on the go bottle and she took to the wide mouth bottle instantly. There aren’t too many parts to this so it was very easy to clean and not difficult to remove milk residue from the tip. These have become my go to nipples because of how easy it is to identify the nipple flow and the fact that they don’t leak at all even at a higher flow. I received this product as part of a Stellar Product Testing Panel.

Mijn kind snapt het nieuwe lekvrije systeem niet. Ze wil juist een druppel melk proeven, voordat ze gaat zuigen. Dit ontdekten we toen we een oude speen van mijn eerste kind probeerden. De oude maat 0 bleek nog te koop bij Philips, dus deze aangeschaft. Deze lekt zodra je de fles op zijn kop houdt en dat snapt mijn baby. Ondanks dat zij 3 maanden is blijven we maar maat 0 gebruiken.

I really liked the idea of the natural response nipples. My baby is currently 9 months old and we do a combination of pumped milk in bottles and nursing. My son struggled with these nipples as it still drips out pretty fast even without sucking. For breastfed babies it needs to be slower so they have to work for the milk more. My lactation consultant also said the slope isn’t great for breastfed babies as it’s not gradual enough. My second problem with them is the leaking. I’m not sure if it’s the collar or what but sometimes it’s fine. Other times it leaks from the collar like crazy. I’ll check if it’s screwed on correctly and it seems like it is but it’s been frustrating at times. I received this nipple set from the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

I was so excited to try the Avent Natural Response Nipple Set as a product for the Stellar testing Panel. My son was able to adapt to the bottle nipple very quickly. The no drip tip made it the bottle feeding experience almost mess free, and allowed my baby to pause to take a breather during feeds without coughing or wheezing. I felt like the wide shape nipple was easy to clean with our bottle brush and felt very natural to my baby who is also still breastfed, the flow seemed fast enough for his stage so he seemed very comfortable!

I received this product for free in exchange for my review from Stellar Product Testing Panel. This nipple works perfectly with the bottle but was a bit too fast for my son to drink comfortably. It would collapse in on itself as he sucked or too much would come out at one time. The shape and contour are very similar to my own so he took to it eagerly, but I think he would need another month or so before he’s ready for the level 3. I do love that it doesn’t drip or spill everywhere if knocked over and it was easy to clean and remained the same after the dishwasher unlike some other brands.
