philips avent colic

Philips Avent anti-colic nipples are available in four flow rates: Flow 1, Flow 2, Flow 3 and Flow 4 — ranging from the slowest (Flow 1) to the fastest (Flow 4) so you can choose the appropriate flow as your baby grows.

The anti-colic valve is built into the nipple and flexes during feeding to let air travel into the bottle instead of into the baby’s stomach. This prevents vacuum buildup, reduces the amount of air the baby swallows, and helps lower colic and feeding discomfort.

Approximate age guidance for the flow rates is: Flow 1 — newborn / 0+ months; Flow 2 — around 1 month and older; Flow 3 — around 3 months and older; Flow 4 — around 6 months and older. Use these as general guidance and adjust based on your baby’s feeding pace.

The nipples are made from soft, flavorless, odorless silicone and are BPA-free. The glass bottle set is made from borosilicate glass and is also described as BPA-free.

Philips Avent nipples are shaped to support a natural, secure latch, and include ribbing or textured areas that help the nipple keep its shape and resist collapse during feeding — reducing interruptions and making feeding smoother.

The product details recommend replacing Philips Avent anti-colic nipples every three months for hygiene reasons.

Philips Avent anti-colic nipples are sold in multi-count packs, commonly in 2-count and 4-count packages.
