| Like many other reviewers, I had those old ones that were great for a while. Then we changed them all for the BPA free version and they all leaked. We liked the bottles (others on the market are not even close), but we had to re-tighten the lid again and again as it would leak and leak. When I bought these bottles in question (the new version of BPA free) I was cautious. However, it does not leak ever, 100%. We have our bottles back!!! Buy it before they "improve" something else and they start leaking again :) |

| Bottles leaked 9 out of 10 times and called Avent for a refund. They said bottles are not under warranty. Buyer beware. |
more parts than it appears.

| We bought these because we were kind of tired of all the parts that are with the Dr. Brown bottles, but there's a little ring that goes between the bottle and the lid. Not that big of a deal, but we keep forgetting to add the little ring, thus pouring formula onto our baby as we tilt her back and turn the bottle upside down to feed her... One more part to keep track of. We like them though because they fit nicely inside aluminum can insulator, thus keeping formula warm for longer on trips. |
Great Bottle

I am an exhaustive researcher and buying all the plethora of baby items before our baby daughter was born was no different for me. Of course when it came to bottle recommendations, every friend, family member and health practitioner had their own personal brand that they swore by. We liked the look at feel of the AVENT bottles but the reviews were horrible. They all said these bottles leaked horribly. We took the plunge and bought a couple two (2) packs of the 4oz bottles anyway. We never had the bottle leak, once - ever. The bottles do not have a bunch of loose parts. Just the bottle, the nipple, collar and a small sleeve that goes into the bottle opening. Very easy and fast to clean. The wide and short shape and size of the 4oz bottles make them a joy to use and again, a joy to clean. We usually wash the bottles by hand and run them in the dishwasher from time to time and they have held up great. After three months, no leaks, cracks or discoloration and the logo is still printed on the bottle perfectly.
Recently our bottle started going on a mini-bottle strike, refusing to drink from the bottle. Thinking it was the AVENT bottle we went out and bought a born free, playtex and dr. browns. She hated all of then equally and only drank from the AVENT (after lots of struggling). So we discovered that after trying all the different bottles, she liked AVENT the best anyway.
Keep in mind our daughter never had issued which colic or gas. She's quite good at burping and passing gas on her own so we've been lucky that way :) For babies with colic issues we have been told anecdotally that Dr. Browns are great. But for us, the AVENT bottles have been fantastic and we are glad we took the initiative (and risk) and bought these as our main bottles when my wife first gave birth. We recently bought four 9oz bottles and some 3m+ nipples as she seems to prefer the increased flow.
As others have stated, we have only carefully sought out and used the bottles in the BLUE packaging (not the yellow). The bottles are made of an opaque plastic. Apparently the yellow boxed ones are honey colored and have an additional vent in the nipples that cause leaking.

| I originally bought about 10 of the honey colored Avent bottles and after about 5 months got so annoyed with the leaking I threw them all away. I then started to purchase these which don't leak at all so that's a major improvement. My only complaints are that the markings do chip away. Its not a problem for me yet as I do not make 9 ounce bottles but I assume it will be soon. Also the nipple tends to collapse which can be a bit annoying. In my opinion, this bottle is good (better than the honey colored Avent bottles), but The best bottle out there is definitely the Born Free Bottles and the Gerber Gentle Flow bottles (which by the way are the exact same thing as Avent bottles minus the ring and the peeling paint and way cheaper). |
