 THEY LEAK!! December 5, 2005
Angela Morrissey (Denver, CO)
6 out of 7 found this review helpful
These are not the cheapest bottles on the market so I was surprised to find that they leak constantly. I know that many reviewers have said that there is a specific way to assemble these bottles but in 4 months I have tried EVERYTHING and I still get leaks! After spending countless and painful hours pumping my breast milk it is very frustrating to have all of it pour out all over my daughter and me. Not to mention that these bottles have ruined many of me and my daughters' shirts and have permanently stained our couch. Another scenario that I continually face with these bottles is cleaning up formula or breast milk off of my walls and floors because sometimes they leak when I shake them for mixing purposes. Also, most of the time when I am running errands I have to run home to get more milk because the bottles leaked out half of my supply. Bottom line - you have to change your baby's clothes enough in one day without having to do so because of a leaky bottle. Save your sanity and clothing - go with a different brand!!
P.S. I just bought all new Dr. Brown's bottles and they are wonderful!! My baby actually has less gas than with the Avent ones. They are harder to clean though.
AVENT BOTTLES CONTAIN BPA BISPHENOL-A. April 9, 2008

I liked Avent Bottles, my daughter Liked them too! Then I found out about Bisphenol -A being used to make the Bottles. After re-searching Bisphenol -A, I discovered that exposing my baby to harmful chemicals with the potential for long term affects later in life, was definitely not for me!! There are other options out there, all glass bottles are safe, as well as Born Free, Mam by Sassy, Green to Grow and Adrini. Do your own research. I'm really surprised the non Bisphenol -A Free bottles haven't been recalled yet! I'm sure it's just a matter of time, before enough people are educated.
 A great bottle!!! April 9, 2004

Avent was the only bottle that my son would take. I had bought and registerd for all Playtex bottles, so when my son refused the Playtex bottles I was stuck with a ton of them! Do yourself a favor and register for several different brands and see which brand your baby prefers. In my case, Avent was the bottle of choice. I have read several reviews stating that Avent bottles leak and I can't say that leaky bottles have ever been a problem. If you line the nipple and ring up and don't overtighten the ring, you will not have a leak. Many people also say that Avent bottles are more expensive. Compared with Playtex bottles, which is what MOST other people use, Avent would be cheaper in the long run because you have to buy liners for the Playtex bottles and that can add up. Plus, Avent lives up to what it says because my son has never had gas or colic. From my own experience, Avent has been wonderful and I would recommend them to any mother!!!!

I bought a bunch of these bottle before I had my daughter, thinking these would be the best bottles as per mostly all my friends encourages me to get(no gassy babies with this bottle). However, i noticed after a few weeks of breastfeeding more often (i mixed fed my baby when she was born, 60% bottle/40% breastmilk, i was still on the stage of learning to breastfeed that's why she had a lot of bottle feeding that time) my daughter wouldn't latch on to the nipple (my milk wasn't enough, need the bottle occasionally), my daughter find the nipple too firm, it doesn't feel like my breast. I checked another brand(a lot softer nipple), and it works well for her. I am still hoping she'll be able to use them once she get older though (there's a bunch of them, it would be a big waste if she won't). So (...), buy a couple of different bottles and see which one your newborn prefers. Yes, babies are very picky about the nipples.
 You can prevent the leaks! October 27, 2004

I have used Avent bottles for all 3 of my kids and am still using them for my daughter now. I had a lot of problems in the beginning with leaks, until I figured out that the problem was only when I screwed the nipple on too tightly. It's your natural inclination to screw it on tightly to avoid leaks, but if you do it too tight it causes the nipple to buckle under the rim and then leaks as the other parents have experienced. Aside from that (which is easily remedied) they are easier to clean than other brands, and my babies took to them immediately. I'm not fond of the pacifiers though - and prefer the Gerber Nuk because I can buy it at the grocery store in an emergency (and my babies all liked them better anyway). You can use a regular dish brush to clean the bottles, too, so you really don't even need a bottle brush. I'd just buy bottles instead of the starter set.
