Philips AVENT Classic Nipple lets infants control the flow of milk like with breastfeeding, which can reduce spit-up and overeating.
Philips AVENT's anti-colic valve flexes to keep air in the bottle and out of your baby's tummy, a feature that reduces fussing and colic. In a clinical trial, two-week-old infants fed with a Philips AVENT Classic bottle experienced less colic than babies fed with a conventional bottle, with the greatest difference seen at night.
The nipple is made of flavorless, odorless silicone that resists discolouring and stickiness. The nipple's soft, rounded shape promotes feeding for babies who nurse from both the breast and a bottle.
The Classic BPA Free nipples are dishwasher safe and can be sterilised by boiling for five minutes or by using a Philips AVENT steam steriliser.
Remember that age indications are approximate as babies develop at different 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. They may also show signs of tiredness or frustration during feeding. AVENT teat packs are colour coded to help you find the correct flow rate.
