Baby Products Reviews of Philips Avent 3 Pack 4oz Bottles
Customer Review: The only bottles you will ever need.....
Summary: 5 Stars
A friend of mine recommended the AVENT bottles to me before the birth of my little one. She had been told by a lactation consultant that because of the nipple design, it would help her son get his tongue in the right postion for breastfeeding.During the early weeks of my son's life, I had some difficulty breastfeeding because my milk flow was not sufficient. I purchased a breast pump (to help establish my milk flow) and supplemented his breast feedings with breast milk in these bottles. He never had any problem with nipple confusion or going back and forth between the bottle and the breast.
The other thing I liked about AVENT was that as your baby grows older, you can purchase the nipples designed exactly for his age and increased needs. Because of this, he doesn't take in a lot of air during his feedings and we have encountered virtually no problem with gas and spit up.
And finally, these bottles do NOT leak. You have to wet the rim with water to create a suction (like the directions say) and you will never have a problem.
Customer Review: Go with Dr. Brown or Playtex Air Flow to reduce colic
Summary: 2 Stars
After reading Avent's bottle would minimize nipple confusion, I bought the Avent's bottles. I also bought Dr. Brown's bottles after learned about it from the Baby Wisperer, Tracy Hogg's, video.I did not find the Avent's bottle helps much in the nipple confusion part. I think Hogg's suggestion to pick a nipple similar to your own nipple shape to reduce nipple confusion is more sound.
Compared with my experience of using Dr. Brown and Avent. I can clearly see more bubbles were produced when using Avent. Therefore, I chose to solely offer Dr. Brown to my son. Also, it is more expensive with Avent since you have to change nipples more often. (My son just turned 4 month, and I am still using the level one Dr. Brown nipple with no problem.)
Some of my friends also recommended Playtex AirFlow. I just think its shape too difficult to clean and when I test suckle Playtex Airflow and Dr. Brown, I found it is easier to get the milk out of Dr. Brown. So I stayed with Dr. Brown, and I am still very satisfied with it.
Customer Review: These bottles leak sometimes
Summary: 2 Stars
When breastfeeding, these are highly recomended. The problem with a breastfeeding mom is, they do not fit standard US breast pumps. So basicly you have to pump into one bottle, then transfer into this one (this causes a problem for those of us who don't produce quite enough milk --- every drop that is lost in transfer is crutial). Then you are faced with the leaking problem. The directions say to wet the rim to prevent leaking. Well, sometimes that works and sometimes it dosen't. Again, I am reminded of how delicate every drop of milk was. Sometimes these bottles will taunt you. I would test the bottle before giving it to baby... then after I was convinced it wouldn't leak... baby would begin to suck and would instantly be drownded! And there you are, wasted milk, and a hungry baby who is drenched, and really mad by the time you get another bottle ready and her clothes changed!!! The day I stopped breast feeding I switched to playtex vent aire, which only leak once in a blue moon, if you dont put it together right.Customer Review: The best bottles on the market!!!
Summary: 4 Stars
I have read other reviews about the Avent bottles, and I have to say that we have experienced no problems whatsoever with these bottles. Our son is now almost 6 months old, and the one time we experienced a leaking problem is when the lid was put on crooked. Also, I have never had a problem with them smelling like plastic or with the measurement lines fading. After nearly six months of use, these bottles have been dropped, washed, sterilized, soaked and put in the dishwasher, and we still have no complaints. Also, they are super easy to clean due to the larger opening at the top. We are so happy with the Avent bottles that we have even saved them for use with our future children. The only knock I give is for the 4 oz. bottles. I wish I would have bought only 9 oz. bottles because my son graduated past the 4 oz. mark quickly, and I feel that even purchasing the smaller bottles was a waste of money. Overall, I highly recommend the Avent bottles, but again, I would recommend only buying 9 oz. bottles.Customer Review: Does your baby have trouble taking a bottle?
Summary: 5 Stars
Mine did. He's 6 months old and I work PT so his babysitter must give him a bottle of expressed breast milk. My son does NOT take bottles and she has to "trick him" into taking it by sticking the bottle in his mouth while watching TV or sleeping. She is the ONLY person who he'll even take a bottle from. Then when she finally gets a bottle in, she has to pull it back out because the nipple collapsed and he can't get any milk out of the bottle which makes her have to try getting him to latch to the bottle again...total nightmare!The other day I bought one Avent bottle to "test" it. Even though the nipple is designed for newborns he took that bottle NO PROBLEM. And NO NIPPLE COLLAPSE! For three days now my babysitter has had absolutely no trouble taking the Avent bottle. That's it I'm throwing out all my old Evenflo bottles and collapsable Gerber nipples! Those companies should stick to strollers and baby food and let the PROS handle the bottles! Avent bottles are AWESOME!
