Avent Bottles

Advantages: Look like a bottle
Disadvantages: Can leak

...In my opinion Avent bottles look like a bottle should and have excellent wear and tear value. I prefer the look of the Avent bottle compare to the tommie tippie (closer to nature) bottles as the tommie tippie teats look too natural and I am sure thats the point but I like a bottle to look like a bottle. The Avent bottle wash well in the dishwasher, however you might not want to wash them with plates or saucepans that have just cooked Bolognese or curry as they do stain the color of the teats and lids. They can leak from time to time, so make sure before you set off that you check it first otherwise you might end up with milk all over the place. These bottle also work really well with the Avent pump. Just screw on and go. The teats also come in different sizes for thicker liquids or hungrier babies. These are not cheap at around £4...

Review of Avent Feeding Bottles

Best Bottles Available

Advantages: Babies actually seem to like them, easy to clean, lots of accessories available so they can last you for many years
Disadvantages: none

...I started using Avent bottles with my son, George, he was breastfed but I used the Avent breast pump (which you can attached directly to the feeding bottle) to express off some milk. I started him getting used to a bottle early (2 weeks old) he took to the bottle straight away. These bottles are apparently like sucking from the breast for a baby and George certainly had no problems. You can buy all sorts of accessories to use with the bottles, ie different flow rates of teat, from slow flow suitable for breastfed babies (as breastfed babies can get addicted to bottles and go off the breast as the bottle is easier to get the milk from!) training spouts and also the new magic cup which the lid will fit directly onto the bottle (like the anyway up cup, with no spills, except you can actually get the liquid out without sucking excessively...

Review of Avent Feeding Bottles

BEST BOTTLES EVER MADE

Advantages: Very strong, easy to clean
Disadvantages: None

...I have to say that the AVENT bottles are the only ones I have ever bought. No mater how many times they are dropped they never seem to break. You can obtain them in 4oz size, which is handy for Juice, and 9oz size bottles. When you start to wean them onto beaker cups there's no need to buy a cup continue with the bottles as you can buy a spout and handles for the AVENT bottles, how neat that is. You can get a range of teats Slow flow, Medium flow, Fast flow and Variable flow which has marks on the teat 1 line for slow, 2 lines for medium, and 3 lines for fast flow that way your child can pick which way on the teat he/she wants. At first it is better starting with slow flow. I have to admit I did have a set that lasted about a year, with the measure marks still in place, they never fade. You can also buy lids...

Hitting The Bottle!

Advantages: cheaper than Avent
Disadvantages: a few things...

...closer to nature and this is because they have a super soft silicone teat that is said to resemble to breast as much as possible. This I suppose would be very handy if you were breast feeding as well as bottle feeding and perhaps expressing your own milk and using one of these bottles would make it much less confusing for the baby being fed. I however have not breast fed at all so the fact that they are said to be as close to a breast as possible really has no affect on me or on baby jack. These bottles can be used from birth and have an easy hold design that I expect is meant for the child rather than the parent. The shape of the bottle merely has a smaller bit in which to hold on to and this I think would be good for when the child is able to feed themselves. When I use these bottles now this shape probably has more of a negative...

Review of Tommee Tippee Feeding Bottle

avent bottles

Advantages: best around
Disadvantages: price

...avent bottles in my opinion are the best around,ive tried several other bottles and teats but avent are the only ones that dont leak all over me and the baby and that he enjoys drinking from. compared to all the other leading brands i find these are definatley the best around andthey cost about the same as all the other brands so i would go for these every time. they come in two sizes 125 ml and 260 ml and are sold in most places and you can get replacement teat sfor them too. they are ok value for money but could be cheaper i think there about 8.00 for two but you only need a few so doesnt come to too much they also fit in the brest pumps so it makes it esier if your expressing milk and for easy storage. overall very good and would def recommend to anyone....

Review of Avent Feeding Bottles

Easy for babies to feed themselves

Advantages: Wide range of accessories and long lasting
Disadvantages: More expensive than others

...for this type of bottle. You can convert the feeding bottle into a beaker as Avent have released a beaker with the same size neck so all you have to do is buy the handle with the spout and attach it on as you would if you were making up a bottle of milk. These beaker tops have been designed so that, should your little one knock it over by accident, there is no mess as it does not leak unless you really shake it with some strength. If that hasn't pursuaded you then this fact should... Avent bottles with the Avent teats have been clinically proven to reduce colic and I have to say that my little one has yet to suffer from colic. The bottles come in 2 sizes, 4oz and 9oz and the beakers themselves come in a variety of different colours. The teats can either be in white or blue. An extra added bonus for mothers is that because the bottles...

Review of Avent Feeding Bottles

Avent Bottles, Brilliant once you know how to put them together

Advantages: easy to clean.
Disadvantages: Leaking issues if not put together correctly.

...The Avent Airflex bottles come in two sizes 4oz and 9oz. When I started to bottle feed my daughter I bought the 4oz bottles which just over a month later I regretted as my little girl was wanting more than 4oz a feed which meant that I had to buy 9oz bottles instead. CLEANING The bottles come apart into 4 pieces, the bottle itself, the teet. the screw ring and the lid. The bottle is very easy to clean when using a bottle brush, if you dont have one then you will find it very hard to get your hand to the bottom of the bottle to wash it out properly. As for the teet, you need to make sure that you get inside the rim of it which I found is easier to do with a sponge rather than a brush but other than that the bottles are very quick and easy to wash. LEAKING ISSUES When I first started to use these bottles I...

Review of Avent Airflex Feeding Bottle

baby feeding bottles.... i'm so disappointed

Advantages: easy to clean
Disadvantages: leaking and prone to cracking

...i started bottle feeding my little girl at about 8 weeks old. She was very happy on the breast but as i had to prepare both myself and her for my return to work i started introducing the occassional bottle feed. She took to the Avent wide neck bottle instantly. She was quite obviously very happy with the flow and the teat. However, as she got a little older and i had returned to work she was put onto the bottle for all her day feeds. Due to the increased use of the bottles i began to realise that it wasn't just a the odd time that the bottle would leak from the neck when making up the feeds, but the bottles often had to be undone and done up again 4, 5, or even 6 times before the top of the bottle would seal to the neck. I just looked upon this as a slight design fault that i could live with as long as i remembered to shake...

Review of Avent Feeding Bottles

MAM Ultivent Feeding Bottle - It leaks

Advantages: Soft teat, easy cleaning, great design (look)
Disadvantages: Removable bottom part seems to wear easily causing milk to leak

...I used this anti-colic bottle as my daughter uses the MAM dummies and seems to get on with them best. The design also looks completely different than other feeding bottles and I thought it to be a great idea that the bottom is detachable. We all know the malarkey trying to get to the bottom of the bottle with a bottle cleaning brush and resorting to all sorts of tools to remove the formula powder remains. Unfortunately, that is where the problem lied. After a few times unscrewing and sterilising the bottom part, the bottle started leaking quite severely. My baby ended up several times with a soaked through babygrow. The screw track seems to wear out a bit. Although taking the utmost care of trying to screw the bottom part countless times back into place, the bottle still leaked. I sadly had to resort to throwing them in the bin. Very...

Review of MAM Single Pack 260ml Ultivent Feeding Bottle

As close to nature as you can get with a bottle

Advantages: BPA free; good at helping you combine breast and bottle feeding
Disadvantages: Bottles can discolour; markings on the bottle are not very clear

...I decided whilst I was pregnant that I would exclusively breastfeed my son and so resisted giving him a bottle for as long as possible. However, I soon realised that it would be good if my husband could be involved in feeding our son as well by giving him a bottle of expressed breast milk. As I wanted to continue to breastfeed exclusively I was worried about giving my son a bottle just in case he decided that he preferred the bottle and didn?t want to go back to the breast afterwards. I decided to buy Tommee Tippee bottles after reading on the packaging that they are designed to be as close to breastfeeding as possible. I have now been using these bottles for 9 months or so with both expressed breast milk and formula milk and am very impressed with them. The Design Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature bottles have teats which are...
