Baby feeding gear designed to make bottle feeds feel more like breastfeeding while keeping air away from a baby's tummy. Calm, more natural-feeling feeds help parents relax and build confidence during every feed. Can AVENT Bottle Teat deliver breast-like flow control and reduced air intake for babies aged three months and over?

⚡ At a Glance
  • Flow Control: Natural Response nipple releases milk only when baby actively drinks, using a no-drip action
  • Best for: Parents seeking bottle feeds that closely replicate breast feeding and paced sucking
  • Not ideal for: Families needing very fast free-flow teats for rapid feeders

Natural Response nipple opens only while the baby actively sucks. Anti-colic valve channels air away from the tummy and the no-drip design prevents leaks between sucks.


Reduced swallowed air - thanks to anti-colic valve

Anti-colic valve directs air away from the teat during feeding so air does not enter the milk stream or the baby's tummy. The valve works continuously while feeding to maintain an air-free path for milk.

Fewer feeds with excess wind are likely because less air reaches the stomach. Parents may notice calmer burps and shorter unsettled periods after feeds.

Breast-like latch and paced feeding - with Natural Response nipple

Natural Response nipple releases milk only when the baby actively sucks rather than flowing freely, replicating the mechanics of breastfeeding. The baby controls milk release through sucking strength and pauses.

Easier transitions between breast and bottle for babies who are breastfed, with feeding paced by the baby. A short adjustment period may be needed as feeding becomes baby-led.

Cleaner feeds and personalised pace - thanks to no-drip design and right nipple flow

No-drip construction keeps the teat closed when the baby is not sucking, while the right nipple flow label allows selection of a flow rate suited to the baby's age and ability. Flow 4 is intended for older three-month-plus feeders.

Less mess during feeds and clearer control of milk speed, making hand-offs and bottle handling neater. Suitable for babies aged three months and over using Flow 4.
