Our daughter is now 2/12 years old and still uses the Avent bottles as sippy cups for her water. When she was born, she was exclusively breastfed for almost nine months and began taking bottled breastmilk daily given to her by her daddy and others at only 2-3 weeks of age.

We used the Avent bottles exclusively and found them: easy to use; easy to clean; and most importantly for us, completely without complications in terms of our daughter going between the bottle and breast.

We loved the larger diameter bottle size for both our comfort when feeding her and later on her ease of use when learning to hold the bottle herself. We also found the different sized bottles and varying flow nipples to be very useful as she grew older.

The sippy cup adapters work wonderfully &, unlike some competing sippy cups, do not fall apart (lose the parts that allow them to be non-spill) despite her fervent attempts to make them do so! They are also easy to clean.

After many months of constant usage, these bottles still look and function like new.

Two cautions: 1. Sadly, these bottles were harder to locate in grocery and drug stores when traveling. Target, Walgreen's and Toys R Us/Babies R Us always had them though as did some good on-line places. 2. The clear part of the two-part sippy cup adapter can be easily lost, so keep an eye on it when washing.
