A clever baby bottle that mimics the feeling of breastfeeding is winning praise from millennial parents who want to split the parenting load more equally.
The Philips Avent Natural Response Baby Bottle, which is currently on sale in a two-pack for $26.10 on Amazon, has been designed with the special Philips Avent Natural Response Teat to help a baby latch on and feed comfortably.
The Natural Response Nipple also works with your baby’s natural feeding rhythm, so the baby is in control at all times — making it easy to combine both breastfeeding and bottle feeding.

Other features of the impressive bottle include a no-drip nipple design, with a unique opening that only releases milk when the baby actively drinks, giving them time to swallow and breathe too.
The bottle also has an anti-colic valve — which has been designed to reduce colic and discomfort by sending air away from your baby’s tummy.
The reason why Philips Avent launched the bottle is to help make it easier for mums to share the feeding load, whether that’s help from a partner, or other family and friends.
Recent research from Philips Avent revealed that while 53 per cent of Aussie parents agree that it takes a village to raise a baby with a vast array of modern family setups, the majority of the feeding responsibilities still sits with mums.
Nearly half (47 per cent) of parents wish it was easier to share the responsibility of feeding their baby, and when it comes to bottle feeding, 61 per cent feel relieved that others can share the feeding duties.
All of this contributes to why parents and midwives love the Philips Avent baby bottle so much.
Speaking to Best Picks, registered midwife and feeding expert Edwina Sharrock said: “The research by Philips Avent mirrors a sentiment I have regularly: that mums tend to bear most of the responsibility when it comes to feeding their baby, and, and the same time, two fifths of Aussie parents admit they have struggled with their breastfeeding journey, so many of them rely at least partially on bottle feeding”.
She added: “Modern day parenting looks a lot differently than it used to, with a growing desire to share the load by mums and dads, especially when it comes to feeding.
“Parents are looking for a close experience to breastfeeding that is just as comfortable and safe for the baby. A product like the Philips Avent Natural Repsonse Baby Bottle can reassure parents that they can trust their partners and helpers to support with feeding.”
Reviews on Amazon are similarly glowing, and shoppers have described the bottle as “amazing”.
“It’s so similar to breastfeeding,” one shopper wrote.
“Slow feeding really mimics breastfeeding when baby is using it, good latch, no gas, wish I discovered this sooner.”
