Phillips avent bottle nipple

Choose the nipple based on your baby's age, feeding style, and the Avent series. Start with the flow option that matches a newborn's pace (slow flow) and consider the Classic for standard feeding or the Natural line for a more breast-like latch. Confirm the nipple fits your Philips Avent bottle family and cleaning routine. Begin with the gentlest flow and adjust if your baby seems to gulp, bottle-feed too slowly, or shows signs of frustration.

Flow rate determines how quickly milk comes out of the nipple, affecting pacing and sucking effort. Start with the slow flow for newborns, move to medium as baby grows, and switch to fast flow only when feeding becomes too slow or Baby accelerates their pace. Watch for signs like gulping, coughing, or prolonged feeding times to decide when to change. Remember this relates to the Philips Avent Classic and Natural nipple families, not to model numbers.

Choose the Philips Avent Natural nipple if your baby is mostly breastfed to promote a breast-like latch. If the baby uses bottles frequently, select a nipple with an appropriate flow to prevent over or under feeding. In both cases, start with the slow flow and adjust as needed while keeping compatibility with your Avent bottle family in mind.

Rinse and sterilize nipples after use and inspect them for wear or cracking—replace if damaged. Silicone nipples are designed to fit Philips Avent Classic and Natural bottles, so ensure a proper seal and avoid forcing attachments. Keep nipples clean and store them in a dry place to prevent deformation.
