Philips Avent Airflex Feeding Bottle Many mothers 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; some may be advised by their health visitor or paediatrician to give supplementary bottle feeds and some mothers may choose not to breastfeed. The Airflex Feeding Bottle has a built-in Airflex valve that works with your baby's natural feeding rhythm to promote healthy, active feeding. Learn how Airflex works.

Milk, not air, flows into your baby's tummy. Our Natural Feeding Bottles and teats utilize Airflex technology, which works with baby's natural feeding rhythm to promote healthy, active feeding and reduce colic. The built-in Airflex valve allows your baby to control milk flow more like breastfeeding, which can help reduce overeating and spit-up. How it works 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 continuously and effortlessly, 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.

Philips AVENT bottle reduce baby wind or colic Feeding bottles, whether they are angled or straight, need air inside the bottle to replace the milk your baby takes. When your baby drinks, a vacuum is formed in the bottle causing the teat to collapse, restricting milk flow. Unable to receive milk, a frustrated baby's natural reaction is to suck more vigorously which in turn increases the amount of air swallowed. Most bottles need air to flow in through the hole in the tip of the teat to remove the vacuum, interrupting the flow and rhythm of sucking. Philips AVENT teat's unique one-way air valve opens and closes with baby's natural suckling rhythm, letting air flow into the bottle as your baby drinks, preventing the vacuum from forming. The result is less air in the tummy and a decrease in colic. A recent clinical study demonstrated that at two weeks of age, babies fed with the Philips AVENT bottle showed a trend to less colic, and had a behaviour closer to breastfed babies.

Benefits of Philips AVENT Feeding Bottle Philips AVENT Airflex Teats are made from soft pure medical grade silicone and shaped to mimic the breast in form and function. Breast fed babies will accept the AVENT Airflex Teat more easily and will happily go back to the breast, so combining breast and bottle feeding is easier with AVENT. The Philips AVENT bottle with its award winning wide-neck design, is stable and easier to hold, making filling and cleaning easy. Clear markings on the bottle ensure accurate measurement.

Choosing the right teat for your baby 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.

Color coded packs help you to find the correct flow rate teat for your baby. Newborn Flow Extra Soft Silicone Teat Ideal for newborn and breastfed babies of all ages Slow Flow Extra Soft Silicone Teat Ideal for newborn and breastfed babies of all ages Medium Flow Soft Silicone Teat Ideal for bottlefed babies at 3 months of age and up Fast Flow Soft Silicone Teat Offers a faster flow for older babies Variable Flow Soft Silicone Teat- Slot Cut Provides an extra fast flow and accomodates thicker liquids. Flow rate can be varied by turning the bottle to align the I, II, or III markings on the teat with the baby’s nose.
