Customer Review: My bottles 14 months later don't leak
Summary: 5 Stars
I just don't understand it! I bought these bottles for a friend of mine who registered for them and happened to see the many "leaking" reviews and had to respond.I used the same avent bottles (8 of them) and nipples for a year. I never washed the nipples in the dishwasher but I washed the bottles and screw on cap. I breastfed and pumped for 6 months and used the same newborn nipples for my daughter for 12 months so they got plenty of use. I went back to work full-time when she was 3 months old so she was only breastfed morning and night for another 3 months.
When my daughter was 9 months, I discovered the avent "sippy cup" nipples that you could use with the bottles. My daughter started drinking water on occasion using the avent sippy cup nipples at 9 months. It took me another 3 months to convert her from drinking milk from the newborn nipple.
I have never, in 14 months, had a problem with leaking through the nipples or cap. My first bottle cracked after 14 months of use (one of the original 8 that I am still using) because my daughter dropped it twice from her stroller onto the street. Other brands of sippy cups I used didn't last 3 weeks because they weren't as durable. I exclusively use the Avent bottle with the sippy cup nipples.
Because the more recent Avent reviews have many of the same problems, has anyone ever considered there may be a defect in the latest production of product. These people should contact Advent and explain the situation and ask them if Avent is considering a recall.
Customer Review: Won't use anything else!

I was recommended to use these bottles by a girlfriend who had used them with her baby and sworn by them. I started with a set of 4oz bottles with newborn nipples (#1) and have graduated now to the 9oz bottles with the next size up nipples (#2). I will simply buy new nipples when she's ready for the next step. I am absolutely thrilled with these bottles. I do have an occasional leak but it is always my own fault for not screwing the lid on tight enough!I have not had any problems with leaking when I have them put together correctly. They were especially good for going back and forth between breast feeding and bottle feeding. My now 4mos old baby never had any difficulties feeding either way and transitioned very smoothly. One reader referred to air being pushed into the bottle during feeding and causing her baby to swallow air. The air wooshing in is a good thing! It prevents a vacuum from developing inside the bottle and allows the baby to continuously feed without having to stop to relieve the pressure inside the bottle. The only time I ever had any problems with mine swallowing air was when she had pretty much outgrown the newborn nipples and would try to suck too hard when she was very hungry. This was immediately corrected by buying the next size up. They're also very easy to clean and can be effectively washed in the dishwasher because of their wide neck. Regular bottles cannot. I, out of necessity, used another brand of bottle with her today at a relative's house and was reminded why I like Avent bottles so much!Customer Review: My son loves these bottles!

We have a 4 month old son, Quinn, and originally after he was born we used the Playtex nursers. I used the nursers for my first son without any issues. After a month and a half of the nursers (which I had forgotten in those 6 years what a pain the drop-ins were) Quinn had trouble latching onto the nipple, he leaked formula all over us and himself, and developed a sore lip from the bad latch. He would literally cry while eating.
So we went out and bought one of every kind of bottle BRU had to offer. We tried them all, and Avent was by far his bottle of choice. He latched on right away very well, I loved the clean markings of how much he was eating (not like on the drop-ins), the nipples were easy to clean and you could see them keeping the air out of his belly. No more crying while he ate.
We have only had these bottles for a short while and he doesn't spit up as much, he has less gas, and eats better. He is even holding the bottle while he eats. He is on size 2 nipples and is doing great on them.
I only have one complaint and that's how they leak. It drives me nuts, I have to shake it over the sink before I feed him to make sure it won't leak all over the place. I don't know why this happens, I try to keep the ring inside dry, but it still does sometimes . . . other then that we are thrilled with them.
I can't wait to try the sippy cup handles and attachments when he transitions to a cup, I think it's a great system.
Customer Review: NO LEAKS!!!

Im due to hve my baby in Feb. 2004. I bought ALL Avent bottles. I was reading the feedback forum from people regarding these bottles. I have bought about 6 already and are not planning on buying more. With my 1st daughter I had a million bottles and come to realize that I don't need that many. So, bottom line 6 is fine with me. I don't mind the price on these bottles I think for $5 a pop is pretty much worth it for a relly good bottle and save you the migraine on a crying, colicky baby in the middle of the night. The Problem is.. I read almost everyones feedback on this forum and everyone complained about the leaking of these bottles.. So, I opened up one that I just bought a 9 oz. w/ 3month old nipple purpoosely poured water in it since I can't use milk due to my baby not beig born yet, shook the water up with and without the cap on it and tightened it pretty good.. And voila! It didn't leak.. Not at all.. So, I guess it's all about how you take care of these bottles, are they worn out from your previous baby, are the nipples brand new.. Because it didnt take more than 30 seconds for me to find out if indeed there's any leakage.. I didnt purposely aligned the ring into the bottle and I just screwed it on and shook it and NO leak. I don't know I like these bottles, stylish, easy pouring and best of all reduces air in the tummy. I have nothing bad to say about these bottles they are to me the best looking bottles out in the market...
Customer Review: So Very Happy!

My daughter was originally using the Playtex VentAire bottles, but the flow rate between nipples 1 and 2 was drastic. Although we were happy, we needed a bottle to use while she was growing into the next nipple size. We had received these Avent bottles as a gift awhile after she started on the Playtex bottles, so we decided to try them. Even though we thought everything was fine and dandy, they really weren't until we tried these bottles.
Feeding AND Cleaning is a breeze now. My husband and I even bought more so we could make the permanent change to this brand! Unfortunately, the playtex bottles took the WAY back seat and probably won't see the light of day ever again. My daughter is so much happier since the switch. I HIGHLY recommend these bottles to every mother.
I am reading that some mothers are having leakage issues and for me, I really haven't. The only time I have a little leak problem is when I am shaking the bottle to mix the formula and water. Even then it is nothing to take paper towel/burp cloth and wipe it off. I find that if I take the extra second (litterally second) to make sure the rim of the bottle and the nipple match up exactly, and screw it on slowly then there is never any leakage. I think the leaks come from the lips of the nipple getting folded under when it is being attached to the bottle.
All in all, I am so very pleased with these bottles and would HIGHLY recommend them. :)
