Can I bottle feed and still breastfeed?

Yes! Our Natural Response Nipple is designed specifically for babies who combination feed.

The Philips Avent Natural Response Nipple is designed to work like a breast for an easy combination of breast and bottle feeding, so your baby experiences less confusion. The nipple only releases milk when your little one actively drinks, in the same way that the breast does. So, when baby pauses to swallow or breathe, the milk flow pauses too. This helps to prevent drips or spills.

The design of the nipple is inspired by the physiology of moms and babies, it looks and feels more like a breast. Its natural, broad and soft design encourages your baby to latch on with a wide-open mouth and to suckle in a way that’s similar to breast feeding. This helps make the switch from breast to bottle more natural.

Ensuring that your little one always drinks actively helps prevent nipple confusion, so they can switch between breast and bottle more easily. This all contributes to a happy feeding.
