I have used both for my kids when I was at work, etc. Playtex Natural Latch
nipples are made of a thinner silicone than Avent, making them more soft and
pliable. The Playtex nipple is also shorter, which is helpful for a newborn or
baby with a small mouth. My firstborn tended to latch onto just the end of
the Avent nipple as a newborn. I had to show family members how to encourage
him to latch correctly onto the Avent bottle. That was the last thing I
needed, someone allowing him to feed with pursed lips.

There is a good synopsis article of a research done on the Avent vs the
Playtex Natural Latch bottles in the most recent Journal of Human
Lactation. Makes me glad I am a member of ILCA. I believe they did
ultrasounds of breastfed babies drinking from either the Avent (they
said more chewing or chomping motions) vs the Playtex (more
breastfeeding like suck/swallow/breathe). I am sorry I am not explaining
this well.
