I breastfed my daughter exclusively, but that doesn't mean I wanted to be her sole delivery system. Occasionally, it was nice to watch my baby eat from across the room. The only bottles we ever used were by Avent, and chose them simply because they were compatible with my breastpump and everything else...

These bottles leak. They leaked 2 years ago when I had my daughter and I tried them again with my newborn son and they still leak.
The wide mouth is great and they are easy to clean, but that doesn't take away from the fact that the bottle leaks. I also use the dishwasher (top rack with basket) for cleaning...

All I have to say is that I loved these bottles and the Avent pump. The cons of them is they are the bottle linked with high levels of BPH as posted in recent articles linking this to child autism and cancers. They are a little on the expensive side, I would continue to buy them if they weren't connected with the new BPH studies, but since this has come into the public eye I have changed all of our bottles to the "Toys Are Us Bisphenol A Free" baby bottles. These new bottles ease my mind that my daughter is not consuming any "additonal chemicals" with her milk. Good luck!

I decided to upgrade bottle models for my latest child who is now 14 months. I am sad to say that the avent bottles do not work very well because they leak A LOT! If you don't pull the nipple and seal the bottle just right your baby will have a soaked shirt after feeding time. The reason I choose these in the first place, is because they were highly recommended by two friends. Come to find out one of them must have been dillusional at the time, because when I asked her about it again after mine began to leak, the first thing she said was "oh those leak!" In any case, I used playtex and regular... review »

I am reviewing the Avent BPA free bottles.  I came to this site for information on this brand of bottles.  Whenever looking at reviews I tend to look over Critical/Negative review before the positive ones as its the Critical reviews that meantion flaws.  The "Most Critical" on this site was that the bottles contain BHP/BPA, a health hazard.  While this is true for some of their products (mainly the older line of products) they also have a selection of BPA free products, called "Philips Avent # oz BPA Free Bottle".  Therefore I felt inclined to make a "counter review" so people are properly... review »

I used/am using Avent bottles with my last two kids (3 yrs. and 11 months.) I have 6 kids and I think these are the best bottles I have ever used. I breast fed all of my kids, but when it was time to transition them to bottles Avent seemed to be the easiest. I have never had a problem with colic using Avent bottles and there are so many extras you can get where they all fit together, like the sippy cups and handles, etc. They are nice and big so babies don't have a hard time holding onto them. The opening on these are nice and big so that if you use formula, it is easy to get the scoop in. They... review »

Avent bottles are horrible. You will spend more time washing your childrens clothes because the bottles leak all over the place. The tops on every bottle we have need to be reseated atleast 2-3 times in order to get them to seal off and not saturate our children with whatever they are drinking. Avent is definitely aware of this and do not care. POOR DESIGN!!! I will not buy another Avent bottle for myself or anyone I know.. STAY AWAY!! unless you enjoy following your children around with a rag and mop to clean up the mess.

I wasn't able to breastfeed for very long, so after 2-3 months I decided to give Avent a try. He's been using them ever since. Yes, I'd have to agree with mostly everyone who reviewed here and mentioned that it has a tendency to leak at times. Although, it seems to only leak if you over-tighten it or somehow tighten it lopsided, which seems pretty logical for it to leak.

These bottles are awful.  When I wasn't breastfeeding I would use these and no matter what I did, they would ALWAYS leak!  I ended up taking them to the daycare to let them use them instead of me.  I have read many a review on these bottles and lots of people say you have to make sure the top is tight, nothing works.

I am a very pro-Playtex disposables mommy, and used them faithfully for my first two children. However, my third daughter had other ideas about the bottles she wanted to use. We tried Playtex disposables and those didn't make her happy at all. She was surprisingly gassy and fussy. We tried Nuk bottles and those were nice but it took her an hour to drink 3 oz. no matter what size nipple we tried. So, I had an Advent bottle sample and we tried those and what  you know? She loved it! Drank her bottles in 1/4 of the time and no gas! So, I invested in about 10 4 oz bottles and we used those steadily...

I have now used Avent bottles with both of my children. What I like best is that these bottles made it easy to switch from breast to bottle. I also like that as my children grew I didn't have to buy new bottles only new nipples. Some of the draw backs of these bottles is that they sometimes leak if not closed just right. The price can me a little steep also at about $5 a bottle. They do last for ever though. I had my children rather close together and was able to use the same bottles with both kids. I only had to buy new nipples.

I love these bottles because they have a wide opening for pouring in breastmilk and adding powdered formula. They also have ad on handles for when baby gets older and needs to learn to hold his own bottle. I did have a huge leak after not tightening the lid on very well which is my only con but it only happened once.

I was given the Avent bottles as a present.  Before using them I found out that many baby bottles contain BPA--a toxic chemical in plastic that leaches into the food or drink that's in it after washings or heating them and is very harmful to babies.  (Please do your research on BPA!)  I called Avent to ask what kind of plastic their bottles are made from and they told me polycarbonate, which is the worst plastic and contains BPA, and I did not like how the representative seemed to not care that they used this harmful plastic.  One way of knowing if the bottle you are using contains BPA is... review »

I am writing to let you know that as a Avent user these bottles rock!  They help keep the flow of the formula great and the gas out.  The design is one of a kind in my eyes.  Being my third child and third time using these bottles my son refuses to eat from any other bottle at all!  The only con to this bottle I would have to say is when you are screwing the nipple on to feed the baby if it is not screwed on a certain way it will leak everywhere!  You have to hold the tip of the nipple turn it the opposite way and then the correct way and it will latch on.  Normally it takes a few tries and... review »

I love avent bottle's. I have been working with children of al ages for about 20 years now. I have worked with numerous types of bottles. My nephew is on avent bottles and the struture of the bottle is so connected in a good way, it prohibits him to get  the formula rather then excess air. I recently started watching a newborn, who was extremly gassy. They had tried different type of bottles. She was in pain form all the gas and nothing seemed to work. I explained how avent worked and how my nephew never had any gas problems since he had been put on the avent bottles. The parents went out that...
