Make everyday feeding more natural and comfortable with the Philips Avent Natural Response Baby Bottle SCY903/01. Designed to support your baby's individual drinking rhythm, the Natural Response nipple releases milk only when your baby actively drinks. When your baby pauses to swallow or breathe, the milk flow pauses as well, allowing your baby to follow their own natural feeding rhythm.
The bottle features a wide, soft and flexible breast-shaped nipple designed to encourage a natural latch and provide a comfortable feeding experience. This makes the bottle suitable for parents who combine breastfeeding and bottle feeding. The Natural Response system is designed to work more like breastfeeding rather than providing a continuous free flow of milk.
The 260 ml / 9 oz bottle comes with a Medium Flow nipple and is listed by Philips for babies aged 3–6 months. Its ergonomic shape makes it comfortable to hold, while the wide neck makes filling and cleaning easier. The bottle is designed with only a few components, making assembly and everyday cleaning simple.
The bottle also features an anti-colic valve, designed to help reduce the amount of air swallowed during feeding. Made with BPA-free materials, the bottle is suitable for everyday use and can be combined with compatible Philips Avent feeding products.

How to Use
1. Clean and sterilize the bottle, nipple and other components before use.
2. Pull the nipple completely through the screw ring and ensure it is securely positioned.
3. Fill the bottle with prepared breast milk or formula.
4. Attach the nipple and screw ring securely to the bottle.
5. Hold the bottle at a comfortable angle and allow your baby to latch naturally.
6. Let your baby drink at their own pace. The Natural Response nipple releases milk when your baby actively drinks and pauses when they stop.
7. After feeding, disassemble and clean all components thoroughly.
8. Replace the nipple with a different flow rate if your baby consistently struggles with the current flow. Philips recommends choosing the flow based on your baby's feeding behaviour rather than age alone.
Important: Every baby has an individual feeding rhythm. If your baby takes too long to finish a feed, becomes frustrated or falls asleep before finishing, a higher flow may be appropriate. If your baby gulps, coughs or milk leaks from their mouth, a lower flow may be more suitable.
