My family and I were invited to a Baby Shower last month.

The occasion? To celebrate Philips AVENT’s first design breakthrough in 29 years of its breastpumps, bottles and accessories. The ‘bundles of joy’ that have arrived are the Philips AVENT Natural range of milk bottles and Comfort range of manual and electric breastpumps.

And as with any party to celebrate a baby, there was good food, great company and lots of mommy chatter.

There was even free babysitting. The kids got to colour, play ball and bounce on inflatable animal hoppers.

While the children were entertained, I got a chance to chit-chat with other moms about breastfeeding and parenting, as well as walk around to check out the latest range of products launched by Philips AVENT, a brand well-known for its commitment and continuous innovation to provide us, mothers, with solutions that give our babies the best start in life. This first redesign of its products was done with the aim to enable mothers to effortlessly combine breast and bottle feeding so we can breastfeed longer.

The folks at Philips AVENT Singapore also shared with us how baby feeding and milk bottles evolved, and how AVENT revolutionised bottle-feeding by being the first in the world to design the wideneck bottle and teat with proven anti-colic properties. Its new Natural bottle now comes with a unique ergonomic design for easier grip; and its Comfort electric breastpumps now offers – well, you guessed it – more comfort with its new velvety texture to help mothers relax and express milk, without having to lean forward.

I’ll be reviewing the Natural range of milk bottles and the Comfort range of electric breastpump soon, so do watch this space. Thank you, Philips AVENT Singapore, for inviting me to one of the best baby showers I’ve attended!
