Feeding time flow stop milk not coming my baby very irritate and stop the feed.

[@syahirahazmi4221]

I have tried this and it didn’t work for all the teat. You’re making my baby suck air more and getting gassy easier. Used to be a really good bottle until recently I don’t know what you changed for teat materials making it useless. Super annoyed with your brand.

Facing the same problem here. Since they changed to new teat, its more difficult to use. It makes my baby frustated during feeding

[@sherfithasan]

I think I’m noticing the same issue. A new set of bottles I just purchased won’t flow at all ; old set works fine. What’d you guys do?

[@heldapanjaitan9178]

It doesnt work. I’m using the nipple no.2. I tried to fix it as the video showed, nope, didnt work. My baby got irritated during the feed because of this issue. Bad experience with this silicone nipple.

Mine is struggling with 3. Took her 20 minutes just to get .5oz in her belly.

[@Philips]

Hi Brandon, thanks for reaching out to us regarding the Natural Response Nipples, we are sorry to hear that your daughter has not yet taken to the new design and hope we can help! The Philips Avent Natural Response Nipple only flows when the baby actively drinks, like when they breastfeed. This makes it easy for your daughter to use her natural drinking pattern, pausing when she needs to, just like when breastfeeding. Enthusiastic drinkers use a strong suction and compression while drinking, resulting in greater milk flow, so they usually need a lower nipple flow from the Natural Response range (such as nipple number 1 or 2) to avoid overflow. Slow and steady drinkers are likely to prefer a higher nipple flow (such as nipple 4 or 5), to ensure enough milk flows, regardless of age. If you have any further questions, please feel free to get in touch with our dedicated Avent Parent and Child Care team on 1-800-542-8368. One of our colleagues will then try their best to help you further.

[@aznye1]

I have size 1 nipples with twin valves - is that an older design? They seem to flow much more slowly (and more rigid) than the single valve size 1 nipples. I don't think it's an issue with the valve being blocked.

Hi Aznye, thanks for reaching out to us. We would appreciate it if you could share the model number with us, so we could look further what may be the cause of this. Thanks in advance, and we hope to hear back from you soon. :)

New teats suck. 2 years ago we had thickener in the formula and it flowed better than this new bottle now with non thickened formula. Teat 2 now flows slower than okd teat 1 did, teat 1 is now worthless, my baby struggles so hard and can barely get any out...

[@Philips]

Hello there. Thank you for reaching out to us. We’re sorry to hear that your baby is having difficulty getting milk from the Natural Response Nipples. We would like to inform you that our new Natural Response Nipple lets your baby use their natural drinking rhythm, similar to when breastfeeding. While age is a guide, we recommend observing your little one’s cues to find the best nipple flow. We designed the nipple range to accommodate all different drinking patterns, from fast and enthusiastic to slow and steady. The Natural Response Nipple is available in Nipple Flows 1 to 5. The flow rate of milk they receive from the nipple is linked to how enthusiastically or steadily they drink as they develop. Slow and steady drinkers are likely to prefer a higher nipple flow (such as nipple 4 or 5) to ensure sufficient milk flow, regardless of age. You can start with the nipple that comes with the bottle and adjust from there. If, after a few feeding attempts, you have no success, consider changing to a different nipple flow. You might need a higher flow if you notice your baby struggling to get milk out or playing with the nipple. If the problem persists, please reach out to us. If you have any additional questions, please get in touch via Social Media. We're available on Facebook (@Philips) and X (@PhilipsCare). Don’t worry, if you don’t use Social Media, you can also reach out to us via the contact page: to.philips/6057j7FSx.

How do to check temperature of milk once warmed? Unlike the anti colic bottle the milk doesn’t drip after shaking the bottle. Expect for open the bottle?

[@Philips]

Hi Harsh. Thank you for reaching out to us. To check the temperature of milk once warmed in the Philips Avent Natural bottle, you can test the temperature of the milk by pouring a small amount onto the inside of your wrist. It should feel warm but not hot. Regarding your concern about the milk not dripping after shaking the bottle, this is normal for the Philips Avent Natural bottle. The bottle is designed to mimic the shape and feel of the breast, which can help reduce nipple confusion for breastfed babies. Please feel free to get in touch with us if you still need help with your query. We can be found on Twitter (@PhilipsCare) and Facebook (@Philips). You can still contact us if you don't use social media by visiting to.philips/60533Lv4R.

@@Philips I am from Cambodia. I already asked Phillips Cambodia but there is no answer. Most or all Philips Avent products selling here are made in Indonesia. There are many people using this product and know nothing about notch and its purpose. I think the notch in the screw cap ring (Natural Nipple) is the standard one using by Philips worldwide. Thus, Philips should make it clear publicly, rather than being silent and let the consumers finding solutions by themselves. You can Google and find many people talking about this online. And I am not happy with this brand now.

This is not working. Nipple keeps collapsing and our babies are finding it difficult to feed peacefully.

[@Philips]

Hi Hudson. Thank you for reaching out to us. We are sorry to hear that your Philips Avent Baby Bottle Nipple is collapsing. We suggest you try these suggestions to see if you can fix the issue. To remove the nipple from the bottle, use tongs or clean fingers. Look for the valve, which is located underneath one of the printed numbers on the nipple's base. Pull the nipple in a sideways motion, making sure the valve is on top while doing so. Pull firmly until the valve opening is visible. You can then resume feeding. If the nipple collapses during feeding, follow these steps to fix it: Remove the nipple from the bottle using clean fingers or tongs. Find the valve, which is located beneath one of the numbers printed on the base of the nipple. Pull the nipple sideways, ensuring the valve is on top while doing so. Pull firmly until the valve opening becomes visible. Once it's opened, you can continue feeding. We hope this was helpful. If the issue persists, please get in touch via Social Media.
