Philips Avent Natural Response (Glass)
The glass version of the world's most common bottle - a borosilicate glass body with the well-liked silicone nipple, let down only by a plastic screw ring at the seal.
The verdict: Minimal plastic contact
The glass Natural Response pairs a borosilicate glass body with the same soft, wide silicone nipple the plastic version is bought for. The one plastic in the milk path is the screw ring/collar that seats the nipple - Philips' own support page describes the plastic ring on the glass bottle - so it lands at minimal-contact: glass and silicone with a plastic ring at the seal. A real upgrade over the all-polypropylene Natural, and the ubiquitous glass option most parents can actually find in a store.

What it's made of
| Part | Material | Food contact |
|---|---|---|
| bottle body premium borosilicate glass, heat- and thermal-shock-resistant | Borosilicate Glass | Yes primary |
| nipple soft, wide breast-shaped silicone Natural Response nipple | Silicone | Yes primary |

The glass Natural Response is the material upgrade to the single most common bottle on the shelf. It keeps the wide, breast-shaped silicone nipple parents like for combination feeding, but swaps the polypropylene body for borosilicate glass. Unlike boutique glass bottles, it's stocked everywhere with cheap, easy-to-find parts.
Pros
- Borosilicate glass body replaces the polypropylene vessel
- Keeps the well-liked wide silicone Natural Response nipple
- Ubiquitous and affordable, with parts in every store
- Philips clearly documents each part's material
Cons
- Glass body is heavier and breakable; many daycares ban glass bottles
Notes
- Sizes: 4oz and 8oz glass; uses the standard Natural Response silicone nipples
- A steel-collar bottle (Pura Kiki) or mason band avoids the plastic ring entirely
