Description of Philips AVENT 2 Pack BPA Free Polypropylene Classic Bottle, 9 Ounce
Avent Polypropylene Bottle - 9 oz - 2 pack
Less fussing, especially at night*
Unsettled and irritable behavior, known as fussing, is by far the most commonly known crying behavior in babies. Clinical studies show that the AVENT Bottle significantly reduces colic and fussing. Fussing is reduced especially at night*
Clincally proven to significantly reduce fussing*
Sleep and nutrition are vital to your baby?s health and happiness. A randomised clinical trial was carried out to see whether infant feeding bottle design affects "infant behaviour". The Philips AVENT bottle was shown to significantly reduce fussing by approximately 28 minutes a day as compared to the comparator bottle (46 min vs 74 min, p=0.05). This was especially true during night-time.
Allows air into the bottle instead of your baby's tummy
The two piece anti-colic system consists of the AVENT Nipple and adapter ring. As your baby feeds, the unique skirt on the AVENT Nipple flexes to allow air into the bottle instead of your baby?s tummy. Like natural breastfeeding your baby controls the milk flow.
0% BPA (Bisphenol A Free)
Philips AVENT BPA-Free 9-Ounce Natural Feeding Bottles with Slow-Flow Nipples promote the health and comfort of your baby. Whether you are breastfeeding, bottle feeding, or combining the two, these AVENT feeding bottles support your choices. Developed using extensive research and clinical trials, these BPA-free bottles are proven to reduce fussiness* and colic. Designed for infants older than one month--but suitable for breastfed babies of all ages--the bottles each have a 9-ounce capacity and an extra-soft silicone Slow-Flow nipple with two holes, making them ideal for medium-sized feedings.
Clinically Proven to Reduce Fussiness* and Colic**
Clinically proven to reduce fussiness* and colic**, these AVENT bottles help your baby sleep well and digest properly. The bottles each feature a two-piece anti-colic system that consists of the AVENT nipple and adapter ring. As your baby feeds, the unique skirt on the nipple flexes to allow air into the bottle and prevents any vacuum build-up.
Listen for the gentle whistling sound and watch the air bubbles burst on the surface of the milk. That's your guarantee that the air is being released into the bottle--not into your baby's tummy.
Slow-Flow Nipples are Ideal for Breastfed Babies of All Ages
AVENT Slow-Flow Nipples are a dual-hole extra-soft silicone nipples intended for infants older than one month, yet they can be used by breastfed babies of all ages. Working with your baby's natural feeding rhythm, the nipples let your baby control the flow, more like breastfeeding, which can help reduce overeating and spit-up. Also, the nipples' natural shape promotes proper latch-on and makes it easier for your baby to switch between breast and bottle.
Works with Full Line of AVENT Pumps, Bottles, and Cups
Like all AVENT bottles, these Natural Feeding Bottles work interchangeably with the entire line of AVENT pumps, bottles, and cups. These 9-ounce bottles each feature a dual-hole slow-flow nipple. However, as your baby grows, you may use different AVENT nipple, bottle, and cup styles to meet your baby's changing needs.
If you prefer different AVENT nipples for the bottles, simply switch out the nipples for ones with a different flow. Each nipple style is imprinted with a number, making it easy to identify and customize your AVENT bottle.
All components of the Natural Feeding Bottles are BPA free.

Baby Products Reviews of Philips AVENT 2 Pack BPA Free Polypropylene Classic Bottle, 9 Ounce
Customer Review: Avent Bottles: Different Models Explained
Summary: 5 Stars
Philips has done a fantastic job of confusing their line of Avent baby feeding bottles. It should be a simple matter to clearly name and describe a product such as this, but the reality is Philips has done it's best to complicate it.
Why the confusion: Over the past 25 years Philips has changes the Avent product line every year. Recently changes involved removing BPA from all parts that touch baby food (note that their products aren't 100% BPA free - parts that don't touch baby food may still contain BPA). This change introduced problems with some of the products causing the Avent venting system to leak (more on this later). In addition, Philips has used different product names for the same or similar products.
ISN'T A BOTTLE JUST A BOTTLE?
Recently Philips has made Avent bottles in several plastic materials:
1. Polycarbonate: this is a very hard and very clear plastic - it's properties closely match real glass and is commonly known by the brand name Lexan. For years almost all hard/clear food containers were made of polycarbonate plastic. Unfortunately, this type of plastic contains Bisphenol A (BPA) - which has been classified as a toxic substance in Europe and Canada (with the USA having serious concerns). Since 2008 manufacturers of almost all baby products have started to replace Polycarbonate with alternatives.
2. Polyethersulfone (PES): This rigid BPA free plastic hasn't traditionally been used in baby products because of the higher cost of the raw material. In addition, PES bottles typically have a brown or "honey" colored or brown tint - which may be unattractive to some parents.
2. Polypropylene (PP): Also a BPA free plastic, Polypropylene is slightly cloudy or milky in appearance. Containers made from Polypropylene are also slightly flexible.
Avent bottles are currently available in PES and PP models. Many people still have the old Polycarbonate bottles which perform great (but contain BPA).
LEAKS LEAKS LEAKS (AND THE MYSTERY OF THE "ADAPTER RING")
Many people have reported leaking problems with the newer Avent bottles. There are a couple of factors why this is happening:
The Avent system is designed to vent or let air into the bottle as baby feeds. This is achieved by having tiny slots cut into the base of the nipple. When baby sucks the nipple, it flexes and allows air into the venting slots (and then into the bottle). The benefit of this system is there are no special parts (see the Dr. Browns system) - so it's easy to clean and maintain. The disadvantage is this system relies on the interface/connection between the bottle and nipple - any problems where these two parts meet will cause leaks.
Many people have had issues maintaining a good connection between bottle and nipple with the PES (honey colored) bottles. This may be due to the bottle changing shape over time (particularly the impact of dishwasher washing).
The polypropylene bottles have a different issue. Polypropylene is simply too flexible to maintain good contact between the nipple and bottle. Philips has solved this problem redesigning the shape of the bottle and including a ridged "Adapter Ring" with recent polypropylene bottles (I think that first generation PP kits did not have this part). The adapter ring fits onto the top of the bottle and provides a stable and strong base needed by the Avent nipples. The new bottle shape with the adapter ring installed mimics the size and shape of the old style bottle. It's a hassle, but this extra part will prevent leaks if used properly. The ring also appears to be less susceptible to warping from high heat. You can purchase spare adapter rings separately.
Important: to prevent leaks you should assemble the bottle with nipple and adapter ring in place while it is wet! (read the manual).
CLASSIC VS ADVANCED VS NATURAL FEEDING VS EXTRA DURABLE
Philips seems confused with how to market Avent bottles. They have changed the name of Avent products over time and haven't done a good job differentiating between the polypropylene and PES bottles.
Some Avent bottles are branded CLASSIC and ADVANCED. The "Classic" bottles are the milky colored, softer plastic, polypropylene (PP) bottles which use the adapter ring - these are typically sold in a BLUE/WHITE BOX. The "Advanced" bottles are the honey colored, rigid plastic, polyethersulfone (PES) bottles - these are sold in a YELLOW/WHITE BOX.
Recently all Avent bottles have been branded NATURAL FEEDING - this additional name does not indicate which type of plastic the bottles are made of.
SO PES OR PP?
After trying both, I think I'll be using the Polypropylene (PP). At first I thought the adapter ring was a step backward - why do I want to deal with the extra part? But in practice it isn't much of a hassle at all. In addition, many people have reported leaks with the PES bottles. In addition, the PES bottles were less expensive (when I bought them).
Remember to assemble your bottles properly (wet) and do not over tighten them.
SHOPPING ON AMAZON
Make sure you know which type of bottle you are getting. Unfortunately, the Amazon product descriptions for Avent bottles don't always indicate which type of bottle you are getting. Philips makes most sizes of the Avent bottle in both types of plastic. Read the product description carefully before buying. Be cautious with reviews as some reviewers have written reviews for the other plastic type.
UPDATE
It is becoming harder to get anything but the "classic" (blue box) polypropylene (pp) bottles as it appears Phillips has recently withdrawn available inventories of all other bottles (i was talking to the manager of a local baby store who indicated they had to remove all Avent PES bottles and return them to Phillips). Still check to make sure you are getting the type of bottles you expect.
