Baby Products Reviews of Philips AVENT Newborn Starter Set
Customer Review: The best!
Summary: 5 Stars
Avoid nipple confusion and use avent! My 6 month old baby has been using this since he was only a few days old and there is no problem! I breastfeed, but for the first 5 days when my milk hasn't come in, I used avent. My baby didn't have a problem switching from breast to bottle at all. Even today I give him juice using Avent and my son has no problem switching.
But to backtrack to the birth of my son. The hospital bottle fed my son after taking him away from me because I had a c-section. The hospital used those Similac ready made formula that comes in their own bottle. Between that nipple and the Avent nipple my baby became nipple confused. It was a horrible experience getting him used to the Avent nipple, but once he did it was smooth sailing like I mentioned above.
Learn from me! If you plan on using Avent, bring some bottles with you to the hospital and instruct the nurses to check with you before bottle feeding your baby. Trasfer the formula to the Avent bottle and you'll avoid nipple confusion!
Customer Review: Don't be fooled by the expensive price tag.....

When registering for baby products, my husband and I had no idea where to start with choosing baby bottles, so of course we assumed the Avent were the best since they are more expensive. We quickly learned our lesson! We used the bottles for a month, my daughter was always so cranky after a feeding and we couldn't figure out why. It turned out that it was gas that was causing her so much pain. She would scream and scream! We finally realized, after noticing all of the bubbles in the bottle, there was too much air getting into her belly! On top of that her shirt would be soaked after a feeding, the smallest nipple they have for those bottles is still too much for an infant. She would drink the bottle so fast and it would just pour down her cheek onto the front of her. Needless to say we stopped using the Avent bottles, (now that we have 2 dozen!) and switched to the Playtex Ventaire, it was such a huge difference, no bubbles in the bottle, no belly pain from gas, and no formula stained shirt! We love these new bottles.Customer Review: Love 'Em

We have not had a problem with leaking unless we, the users, don't screw the lids on tight. Our daughter had no problem with the nipples, and we love that they are not latex. The only things we didn't do by the book, is that our daughter advanced to the next level of nipple about a month before each recommended age. But that will be individual to each child. We also love that we can turn these into baby food jars later on.
We have now used this set on our second child and we still love them. This is the same set our first child used and we have not had to replace any bottles, nipples, or pacifiers. Nothing has broken despite child #1 sometimes launching a bottle across the kitchen. And this silicone nipples and pacifiers show no signs of wear or breakdown. As with child #1, child #2 advanced to the #3-nipple a whole lot sooner than Avent's suggested age, but again every child is different. Just watch your child for cues that she's getting the milk/formula at the speed that's right for them.
Customer Review: Don't waste time on these. try dr browns instead
Summary: 1 Stars
My baby had terrible gas and colic and i was using the Playtex Ventaire natural shape bottles. someone gave me an avent bottle to try. I was desperate to find something that would releive her but this bottle was not it either. i didnt find that the bottle itself leaked but the milk came out too fast and caused my baby to choke and spit up all over. i was disappointed because the Avent bottles seemed as though they would be easier to clean and assemble than the Vent Aires. after this i reluctantly tried the Dr Browns bottles and i am glad i did because they worked great the first day, no gas or colic and baby slept all nite :-)
i just recently tried the wide neck Dr. Browns and like them even better than the standard dr browns. You Avent users might like the wide neck Dr Browns also b/c they are easy to clean and pour milk into like the Avents, there are more parts but so worth it to releive colic. Too bad the Vent Aires didnt work b/c they are the cutest bottles of the 3 though.
Customer Review: You want these bottles!
Summary: 5 Stars
I love, love, love these bottles. They're incredibly easy to get powdered formula into -- the scoop is smaller than the top of the bottle.
They have helped with my daughter's gas.
They're very easy to handwash (I have put them in the dishwasher -- but we don't use it everyday.)
When I was pumping, the catchbottle for the Medela breastpump easily poured into these.
The nipples are easy to wash.
You do have to ensure the nipples are snapped completely into the rings. And that the ring is tightened enough or it will leak.
The caps are bigger than on other bottles and easier to deal with.
Because they have a broader base than other bottles, they don't tip over in the fridge, on the table, on the couch, or on the changing table as easily.
The pacifiers are great.
However, the bottlebrush isn't anything special. Don't buy this set just to get the bottlebrush. I have an avent brush but use a regular bottlebrush.
