How Did Philips Avent Come About?
The acquisition of Avent by Philips in 2006 marked a significant milestone in the world of maternal and infant care, combining two powerful brands known for their innovation and quality. Avent, renowned for its range of baby feeding and healthcare products, brought to Philips a specialised portfolio that perfectly complemented its own consumer health division. This strategic move allowed Philips to expand its footprint in the growing market of baby care, leveraging Avent’s strong brand loyalty and extensive product line to reach new customers worldwide.
Under Philips’ umbrella, Avent products benefited from enhanced research and development capabilities, incorporating advanced technology and rigorous quality standards that further elevated their market reputation. The acquisition not only broadened Philips’ product offering but also reinforced its commitment to supporting parents and infants with safe, reliable, and easy-to-use products, setting new industry benchmarks for baby care essentials. When bringing Avent under its wing, Philips renamed its comprehensive range of baby products including bottles, sterilisers and breast pumps, 'Philips Avent'.
Why the Philips Avent Natural Response 3.0 Bottles?
Representing a significant advancement in baby feeding technology, the Philips Avent Natural Response 3.0 bottles are designed to closely mimic the natural breastfeeding experience while providing utmost convenience for parents.
How? These bottles feature an innovative Natural Response technology that allows the baby to control the milk flow through its unique teat opening that only releases milk when they actively suck. This reduces the risk of overfeeding and minimising air intake, which in turn helps prevent colic and discomfort. JUST LIKE AT THE BREAST, as the Natural Response Teat only releases milk to baby when the baby actively sucks to drink, when they pause to swallow and breathe, the milk pauses too. This allows baby to follow their natural rhythm and therefore makes it easier to combine breast and bottle feeding.
The bottle teat also promotes a natural latch on with its wide, soft and flexible material designed to mimic the shape and feel of a breast, to feed comfortably. It also has an anti-colic valve designed to keep air away from baby's tummy during feeding, to further help reduce colic and discomfort. In addition, as the natural response technology only releases milk when baby is feeding (unlike free-flow baby bottles), caregivers can confidently avoid milk loss through leaks whether at home or on the go.
Additionally, the ergonomic design of the bottles ensures comfortable holding for both babies and parents, while the wide neck facilitates easy cleaning and quick assembly. Of course the bottles are also reassuringly made with BPA-free materials.
The bottle is available in a single pack in 125ml, 260ml and 330ml as well as in pink, blue, and limited edition motif in giraffe and koala in 260ml capacity. There is also a twin pack available in both 125ml and 260ml and a triple pack in 260ml, and option of a set.
The Rolls Royce of the Natural Response 3.0 Bottles
For little ones that need a little more comfort and luxury, parents can opt for the Philips Avent Natural Response 3.0 'AirFree Vent' Bottle.
Featuring the 3.0 Natural Response technology that allows baby to drink, swallow and breathe — just like breastfeeding, it additionally comes with an AirFree vent in the bottle that is designed to keep air away from baby's tummy for extra protection against colic, gas and reflux.
Combining the Natural Response 3.0 anti colic teat valve with the AirFree vent, the Philips Avent bottle provides a very superior assistance and protection against colic. This is by only allowing milk through as baby sucks, as well as preventing air from getting into little one's tummy whilst feeding in an upright position.
These bottles that support baby's individual drinking rhythm and provide an added layer of colic prevention are available in 125ml in single and twin packs, and 260ml in single pack and also available in 260ml in limited edition motifs of Elephant and Star designs, as well as a set.
The Philips Avent Natural Response 3.0 Glass Bottles
Made of premium quality borosilicate glass, the Philips Avent glass bottle is heat and thermal shock resistant. It can therefore be safely stored in the fridge, warmed, and is also suitable for sterilisation. The glass version of the Natural Response 3.0 Bottles works in exactly the same way as the BPA free bottles, with the same teat that allows baby to feed through it natural feeding rhythm, only releasing milk when it sucks. Available in 125ml, 240ml and a starter set.
Why glass bottles? They offer several compelling benefits over BPA-free plastic bottles, making them an increasingly popular choice among health-conscious parents. One of the most significant advantages is that glass bottles are entirely free from chemicals used to make plastic, ensuring that no toxins leach into the baby’s milk, even when exposed to heat during sterilisation or warming. Additionally, glass is inherently more durable against scratches and doesn’t retain odours or stains the way plastic bottles can, which helps maintain better hygiene and longevity. From an environmental perspective, glass bottles are fully recyclable and biodegradable, reducing plastic waste and contributing to a more sustainable future. Although slightly heavier and more fragile, the sleek design and ease of cleaning glass bottles often outweigh these drawbacks, providing parents with peace of mind and babies with a safe, pure feeding experience.
Philips Avent Natural Response 3.0 Teats
