Philips Avent is a baby care brand. Based on current trends and the wishes of consumers, the company since 1984 creates the highest quality products that make child care pleasant and comfortable.
Initially, the goal of the Philips Avent developers was to create a feeding bottle that would be easy to care for, as convenient and safe as possible. So Avent bottles appeared with a wide, comfortable neck, a wide bottom for easy cleaning and an ergonomic shape for the comfort of the baby.
Particular attention was paid to the nipple, and as a result, the unique Avent nipple was developed, which is as close as possible to the shape of the nipple, with an anti-collic system. It is made of safe silicone.
Avent bottles: quality and safety come first
Feeding is one of the most important moments in your baby’s life. In its process, the formation of the maxillofacial apparatus occurs, as well as the formation of the bite as a whole. Therefore, it is extremely important and necessary to pay attention to the choice of the bottle.
Avent bottles are widely popular, famous for their optimal shape and high quality. When choosing a product, pay attention to the following basic parameters.
Volume and shape
Today, the market for children's accessories is filled with bottles of various and intricate shapes. Of course, it should be remembered that a bottle with too many bends is difficult to wash with a brush, which means that there will be a residue on the walls. Avent baby bottles usually have a classic shape, slightly narrowed in the middle.
As for the volume of the product, for babies up to 6 months, a capacity of up to 125 ml is quite enough, and 250 ml is suitable for a little older child. If you need to take juice or tea for a walk or on the road, it is recommended to opt for a large 260 ml Avent bottle.
Material
Most mothers today prefer to use Avent plastic bottles for artificial feeding. They do not beat, are well sterilized and washed. It is easy to pick up a nipple to them, and the baby holds it on its own due to its light weight. The glass version of the bottles has a longer life and is easier to keep clean. However, they are heavier; it can be difficult for a child to hold them in his hands. When feeding, you need a constant presence near an adult.
Nipples and nozzles
Avent bottle teats are distinguished by flow rate. The company's wide product line includes models, which come with nipples for babies with a low flow and one hole. There are also nipples with a slow flow and two holes (from 1 month), with an average flow and three holes (from 3 months), as well as with 4 holes and a fast flow (over 6 months).
For thick fluids, nipples with a variable flow, slot or Y-shaped hole are suitable. In addition, there are special nozzles - the so-called "soft nozzles." They are perfect for switching to artificial feeding.

Natural AVENT 125 ml
This model of a feeding bottle from the English TM Philips is the best choice for mothers who want to extend their breastfeeding as much as possible and get only the best accessories for their babies.
The latest Philips brand development addresses the common problem of nursing mothers. Due to the unique structure of the nipples, this is one of the few bottles that will allow you to gradually introduce complementary foods to the baby and at the same time preserve natural breastfeeding. The nipple is made of soft but resilient silicone. It has a special configuration, which is close in shape to the mother's nipple. Eating from such a bottle, the little one makes as much effort as when sucking a breast. This feature will allow for a long time to maintain breastfeeding.
Design features
Due to the peculiarities of both the bottle itself and the nipples, the situation with premature abandonment of the mother from the mother’s breast will not arise when using it.
- Flexible, soft papilla - a wide nipple resembles a mammary gland in shape. Made of durable silicone, retaining its integrity even when faced with the pressure of sharp milk teeth.
- Ergonomic design - a bulb of a special curved configuration. It is convenient to hold it at any angle when feeding the baby in your arms, put it in the crib or it sits independently. Also, the design is very convenient for keeping older kids on their own.
- Wide neck - the large diameter of the bottle is convenient for brushing the container. It is also much faster to pour liquids into a wide neck gently, without spilling.
- Inner petals are a special structure in the nipple that prevents it from wrinkling and bending in the baby’s mouth.
- Anti-colic system - Avent bottle design is equipped with two valves. Thanks to them, air bubbles remain inside the container and do not enter the child’s tummy. This feature protects the baby from bloating and colic.
- The protective cap reliably protects the parts directly falling into the baby's mouth from contact with the external environment.
