Philips AVENT - Bottle Feeding
Philips AVENT - Bottle Feeding

Mothers may introduce some bottle feeding into their babies´ lives. Some may wish to express their own breast milk to allow someone else to give baby a feed or some may be advised by their health care professional to give supplementary bottle-feeds.

Our unique design means that all our bottles are interchangeable; giving you the flexibility to choose what best suits your baby. Our award winning wide design is stable and easier to hold, making filling and cleaning easy.

About our feeding bottles

Our feeding bottle range has two types of BPA-free bottles. One BPA-free bottle is extra durable and easy to clean and is made from the honey-coloured material polyethersulfone (PES ­ Advanced). The other BPA-free bottle is a semi-transparent bottle made from polypropylene (PP ­ Classic), which has a unique adaptor ring to ensure the skirt on the teat works optimally.

Our bottles come in three sizes - (PES only)

  • 125ml / 4 oz
  • 260ml / 9 oz
  • 330ml / 11 oz
  • Our Feeding Bottles - PP Classic Our Feeding Bottles - PES Advanced

    Why choose our feeding bottles?

    Unsettled and irritable behavior, known as fussing, is by far the most commonly known crying behaviour in babies. Clinical studies show that the AVENT Bottle significantly reduces fussing* and colic.** Fussing is reduced especially at night.*

    That's why we´re No 1 Recommended by Mums in the UK!

    The naturally shaped teat, combined with the fact that your baby controls milk flow more like breastfeeding, makes it easier to combine breast and bottle.

    As your baby feeds, the unique skirt on the AVENT teat flexes to allow air into the bottle, preventing any vacuum build-up. This allows your baby to suckle almost as at the breast. Listen for the gentle whistling sound and watch the air bubbles burst on the surface of the milk. That's your guarantee that the air is being released into the bottle - not into your baby's tummy. All Philips AVENT bottles are BPA free.

    AVENT Teat

    Our teats come with five different flow rates. You will know when your baby is ready to move onto a faster flow rate because he or she will try to suck harder to get the milk more quickly. He or she may also show signs of tiredness or frustration during feeding. Remember that age indications are approximate as babies develop at different rates.

    Important Message:

  • Breast milk is the best nutrition for babies. Exclusive breastfeeding is recommended for the first 6 months of life. Breastfeeding can continue during and beyond the introduction of solid foods.

  • When you are breastfeeding, good nutrition is vital for you and your baby. Continue with the varied and healthy diet you were following during pregnancy and try not to skip meals.

  • Combining breast and bottle feeding can affect your breast milk supply.

  • If you decide not to breastfeed, this decision may be difficult to reverse if you change your mind.

  • For further advice on feeding options, always contact your health visitor or midwife.


  • * A clinical study showed that at two weeks of age, babies showed less fussing than babies fed with another leading bottle.

    ** A clinical study showed that at two weeks of age babies fed with an Philips AVENT bottle showed a trend to less colic than babies fed with a conventional bottle.
