Overview
The Philips SCY701/91 is a 4 oz baby bottle sold as a single unit at $7.97. Philips is a brand with deep roots in infant feeding through its Avent line, and model codes in the SCY series fall within that heritage. The 4 oz capacity positions this bottle for the newborn stage, when small, frequent feeds are the norm and larger bottles go largely unused.
At 0.35 oz item weight, the bottle body is extremely lightweight. This is partly a function of the small size, but it also means the bottle will not add noticeable heft when a parent passes it to an infant attempting to self-hold. The single-count format makes it easy to try the nipple shape and flow rate before purchasing a full set.
With 1,300 ratings averaging 4.6 stars and roughly 300 units moving monthly, the SCY701/91 performs well in the market for its price tier. Parents who already use Philips Avent bottles will find the form factor familiar. Those new to the brand can use a single-unit purchase as a low-risk evaluation before scaling up to a multi-pack.

Performance notes
The Philips SCY series is closely related to the Avent Natural bottle family, which is known for a wide, breast-shaped nipple designed to ease the latch for breastfed babies. The nipple flow rate at this size is typically calibrated for slow newborn feeds. Most Philips Avent bottles are dishwasher-safe and compatible with Philips Avent sterilizers, though confirming compatibility for the SCY701/91 specifically is advisable. Leak performance for Philips Avent bottles is generally strong across the range when the collar is properly tightened.
What buyers say
A 4.6-star rating from 1,300 reviews is a healthy signal for a single-unit bottle in the under-$10 range. The 300 monthly units sold indicate steady, consistent demand rather than a spike-and-fade pattern. Buyers in this category often leave feedback after several weeks of regular use, so a sustained high average suggests the bottle holds up through daily washes and repeated sterilizing cycles.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Philips SCY701/91 compatible with Philips Avent sterilizers and breast pumps?
Philips SCY-series bottles are designed within the Philips Avent ecosystem and are generally compatible with Avent sterilizers, bottle warmers, and some breast pump connectors. However, compatibility can vary by exact accessory model, so checking the Philips compatibility guide or contacting Philips customer support before assuming cross-compatibility is recommended.
When should a baby move from a 4 oz to a larger bottle?
Most infants outgrow 4 oz bottles somewhere between 6 and 12 weeks as their feed volumes increase. A common sign is finishing the bottle quickly and fussing for more. At that point, moving to a 9 oz or larger bottle with a matching nipple flow stage is typical. The nipple flow stage should also be evaluated separately from bottle size as the baby develops.
