Baby Products Reviews of Philips AVENT Newborn Starter Set
Customer Review: Dr. Browns are the way to go
Summary: 2 Stars
I sunk a fortune into the Avent bottles based on all the positive reviews I had read. My son never did catch on to using these bottles. When he was a newborn, it took him forever to get anything because he struggled with the nipple. He also had a lot of problems with getting too much air, and I didn't find that these bottles helped with that in the least bit. We ended up switching to Dr. Browns bottles, which he never had any problems with and still uses now at 6 months of age.
I do, however, use these as baby food containers and love them for that purpose. When I am not feeding my son an entire jar, I just spoon what I want into one of these. It fits in the Avent bottle warmer and this type of container is much easier to scoop baby food out of than a bowl where everything spreads out. Because of this, I gave these bottles 2 stars instead of only 1.
Customer Review: No One Told Me These bottles Leak!
Summary: 1 Stars
We bought these bottles because they were supposed to be the closest to breast feeding. I was planning on bottle and breast
feeding. These bottles leaked all over my baby and our rugs.
We had to change the soaked outfits in the middle of the feeding
and put more formula in the bottle. ( all in the middle of the night when we were half asleep...Also, my son had the worst gas because he was sucking and sucking and wasn't getting only small amounts of formula and probably air..It was taking him 45 minutes to drink 3 ozs.. We switched to Dr Browns since my son has Reflux and have been so happy ever since. Of course after I asked around, everyone else had the same problems with the Advent- now they tell me! I'm here to tell everyone, don't buy these bottles. Advent should go back to the drawing board and fire the product developers who worked on this!
Customer Review: They are the best bottles, and you can prevent the leaking!
Summary: 5 Stars
My 2 month old daughter loves these bottles. I love them also, because my daughter had a problem, with reflux and the doctor told me to put a tablespoon of rice cereal in each bottle. When I 1st heard this I went to the supermarket to by a the colorful gerber bottles because the nipples were cheap since I thought I was going to have to cut them for the cereal to get through. With the Avent bottles the cereal passes through without being cut. She won't take any other nipple. As for the leaking--I never had a problem with them leaking but my husband made a bottle for me and he over tightened it and it leaked. Just screw them on lightly, and if your still nervous then turn it over to see if it leaks before you take it to the baby. I hope this review helps other mothers, especially if your baby has reflux, because you don't have to cut thew nipples!Customer Review: A Good Bottle
Summary: 4 Stars
Let me start by saying my son has had no problem switching between bottle and breast. From the very beginning he wanted his food and didn't care how he got it. But, I've noticed that even the stage one nipple is too fast for him. He chokes and gags on this bottle. But, then again I've yet to invest in a bottle system. I've bought at least one of every bottle, except Dr. Browns - hoping someone will buy me some for my baby shower!
I've not noticed a lot of bubbles in this. I have the VentAire bottles too and I've not noticed any difference in gas or colic. However, my son thus far seems to prefer the VentAire. I think because this nipple is just too fast for him.
I think all babies are different don't invest in any one system. Let your baby decide...because ultitmately thats what is going to happen anyway!
Customer Review: horrid
Summary: 2 Stars
Of all the reviews I've read, parents are more concerened about the convenience of the bottles and features for the price. I even saw one mentioning that she had to switch to a different brand because of reflux.
The bottom line is... They are convenient for breast feeding and interchanging, but they cause an extreme amount of gas when feeding, due to the awkward nipples that are provided. The bulbous base of the nipple, causes their lips to suck in air around the sides. The entire time they feed, you can actually hear tons of air flowing into their stomach. 5 stars for a product that "I just bought today" doesn't mean anything if you can only use it 1 day, because your child is screaming from colic due to the aweful engineering.
I'd like to see more return reviews from people that used these more than a week.
