Overview
The Philips Avent Natural Baby Bottle with Natural Response Nipple addresses one of the core challenges of bottle feeding for breastfed babies: preventing the infant from developing a preference for the bottle nipple, which flows more easily than the breast. The Natural Response Nipple is Avent's solution: it is designed to flow milk only when the baby is actively sucking in a breastfeeding-like motion, so the infant cannot simply rest and have milk flow into the mouth. This feature is the main differentiator for this product within the Avent line.
The 3-pack format at $29.99 gives parents three 4-ounce bottles, or roughly $10 per bottle. Avent's Natural series is wide-neck, which makes the bottles easy to fill, clean, and assemble, and the wider nipple base is designed to allow a comfortable latch similar to breastfeeding. The 100-gram bottle weight (per the spec as grams) is notably light, which is expected for the 4-ounce glass or plastic at this scale.
With a 4.5-star average from 730 reviews and 50 units bought last month, the Avent Natural sits as a well-rated but lower-volume product. The moderate monthly purchase rate likely reflects the niche audience: parents specifically seeking a Natural Response Nipple bottle, who represent a subset of the overall Avent buyer population.
Pros
- Natural Response Nipple flows only on active sucking, supporting breast-to-bottle transition
- 4.5-star rating from 730 reviews reflects solid owner satisfaction
- Wide-neck design simplifies cleaning and offers a breastfeeding-like latch shape
- 3-pack format provides a starter rotation at reasonable per-bottle cost
Cons

- 50 monthly buyers is a lower ongoing purchase rate than many competing newborn bottles
- The Natural Response Nipple feature is most relevant for breastfeeding families and adds less value for exclusively formula-fed infants

Performance notes
Based on Avent's published product description and the 730-owner review base, the Natural Response Nipple is the defining performance feature of this bottle. Owner feedback on the Avent Natural line generally highlights the ease of switching between breast and bottle with less nipple confusion than standard bottles. The wide-neck format means the bottle is compatible with standard bottle brushes and fits easily into most sterilizers. Avent bottles in the Natural range are typically dishwasher-safe on the top rack and BPA-free. The 4-ounce size suits newborn feeds, and parents should expect to move to larger bottles as feed volumes grow.
What buyers say
A 4.5-star rating from 730 reviews reflects genuine owner satisfaction, particularly among breastfeeding parents who are the core audience for the Natural Response Nipple design. The 730-review base is meaningful and provides a reasonable picture of real-world performance. The lower monthly purchase volume of 50 units reflects the product's positioning as a specialist choice rather than a mainstream bottle purchase, which is consistent with its breastfeeding-transition focus.

Frequently asked questions
How does the Avent Natural Response Nipple work differently from a standard nipple?
A standard bottle nipple flows milk continuously or with minimal resistance, which can allow a baby to feed passively. The Avent Natural Response Nipple is designed to flow milk only when the baby actively sucks in a pattern that mimics breastfeeding. When the baby pauses or rests, the flow stops. This design is intended to reduce bottle preference in breastfed babies by making the bottle require a similar level of feeding effort to the breast.
Are Avent Natural nipples interchangeable with Avent Classic bottles?
Avent Natural and Avent Classic are separate product lines with different nipple and collar designs, and they are not directly interchangeable. If you have existing Avent Classic bottles, the Natural Response Nipple will not fit them. Confirming compatibility across Avent product lines is advisable on the Avent product page before purchasing.
