Avent Philips Natural Response Nighttime Set SCD838/17 — baby bottle and responsive nighttime pacifier set

The Avent Philips Natural Response Nighttime Set SCD838/17 combines a 260 ml baby feeding bottle with a responsive nighttime pacifier. The set uses Natural Response technology to support a natural latch and allow infants to drink at their own rhythm, making it easier to combine breast and bottle feeding. The pacifier is designed for nighttime use and includes a glow-in-the-dark ring for easier locating in low light.

Advantages

The Natural Response teat responds to the baby’s feeding pattern, letting milk flow when the infant actively drinks and pausing when they stop. This behaviour promotes a natural latch and can reduce nipple confusion when alternating breast and bottle. The set is easy to hold and clean, includes a no-drip teat and an anti-colic valve to help reduce swallowed air, and the pacifier is ultra-soft for soothing during sleep. Materials are free of BPA.

Suitable for

• Parents combining breastfeeding and bottle feeding
• Night feeds when low light makes locating items difficult
• Infants who need a soft, soothing pacifier for sleep
• Everyday daytime feeding and calming between feeds

When it may not be suitable

This set may not be ideal for caregivers who require very fast or fixed-flow teats; the Natural Response teat adapts to the baby’s suck and may feel different from conventional fixed-flow nipples. Babies with specific medical feeding needs or those advised by a clinician to use special teats should follow professional guidance.

Key specifications

• Bottle capacity: 260 ml
• Teat type: Natural Response adaptive teat
• Pacifier: nighttime design with glow-in-the-dark ring
• Features: anti-colic valve, no-drip teat, ultra-soft pacifier

How to use

Fill the bottle with the appropriate feed and attach the Natural Response teat. Allow the baby to take the teat and feed at their own pace; the teat opens with active sucking and closes when sucking stops. For the pacifier, ensure it is clean before use and place it gently in the baby’s mouth for soothing. Check the glow ring when needed to locate the pacifier in low light.

What to consider before purchase

• Whether you plan to combine breast and bottle feeding
• If you need a fixed-flow teat or a teat that adapts to the baby’s rhythm
• Whether a glow-in-the-dark pacifier ring is useful for nighttime care
• Any clinician recommendations for teats or pacifiers for your baby

Usage recommendations

Start with the teat flow recommended for your baby’s age and observe how they adapt; be patient as babies may need time to adjust to a responsive teat. Clean and inspect all parts before each use and replace any component showing signs of wear.
