Customer Review: Found unscrewing the bottom a pain
Summary: 2 Stars
My mother purchased these bottles for me for my 1 week old son, and I have already moved on to a different bottle. The size is fine, and I like that it's wider and not as tall, but the whole deal with unscrewing the bottom to make the formula come out was just too much hassle. What's worse is that I didn't realize I had to do that at first, and my poor baby was sucking on the bottle forever and not getting anything out! Once I realized that I had to unscrew the bottom to make the vaccuum work, I had to tighten the bottom to set it down and then try and loosen it again with one hand while feeding. Once I turned the bottle too loose, and formula came out way too fast and my son almost choked. Not the worst bottles, but not my personal favorite.Customer Review: Wonderful Bottle Set

I highly recommend the Playtex Ventaire Natural Shape bottles - both in the "newborn" and "toddler" size of 6 and 9 ozs. The small bottles come with the "Stage 1" nipple, which has a lower flow rate -- perfect for the little ones. As the baby gets bigger and needs a faster flow of formula, you just switch out the nipple to "Stage 2" from the larger sized bottle. Granted, there's a lot of bits and pieces to wash -- but with a dishwasher it's a snap. I would suggest the Munchkin Dishwashwer basket (the full size) to go with your purchase. The Munckin basket can hold 3 nipples side-by-side in the lower compartment, and the bottom pieces in the top. Then, just slip the main center piece through the spines in the top dishwasher rack.Customer Review: lotsa pros

i really like these bottles. i started off with the regular playtex bottles and hated having to put in liners and mixing the formula in a separate container and boy did they leak!!
but then i switched to these. you can see how it separates the bubbles. the nipples fit in baby's mouth better. i can mix the formula in the bottle. no liner!! parts are much cheaper if they need to be replaced. don't have to buy liners all the time so i save money. there are a bunch of parts to put together but considering everything else i wouldn't use any other bottle. also. my arm doesn't get tired out from having to hold the bottle up at an angle. it's already angled. and i've had no problem with them leaking even a little bit.
Customer Review: Not So Great!!!

I purchased these bottles because my baby has problems with gas. I thought this would reduce the intake of air. Not so much. In order for the formula to keep flowing you must screw the bottom off the bottle several times. This can lead to a big mess if your baby moves or turns and the bottle tips. Also it leaks out the top and bottom. The nipples that come with the bottle are not soft and too firm. You can purchase softer ones to fit this bottle, but it's a waist on the original ones. I do like the wider mouth idea. It made it easier for my baby to latch on (with the soft nipples extra $) and it is a larger area to get the formula in. I would recommend the new Gerber bottles. They have the wide mouth, less leaks, and less air.Customer Review: Awful bottles
Summary: 1 Stars
We used these bottles for our first child. They weren't my choice, but my mother in law bought them and we were stuck. Should have switched. So much work was involved in cleaning them. Then the plastic discs would get clogged and we had to soak them in bleach every so often which made me worried. It was such a bummer when I would pour formula into the bottle thinking everything was put together correctly, only to have the formula (liquid gold to us) leak out all over the counter. After all of that, our son still spit up. UGH! We are expecting our second child soon and I refuse to go through that hassle again. I am going to try something else even though we have so many of the other bottles from last time.
