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

...annoying as I had bought a 3-pack. Other than that, the self sealing lid for spill proof transport of the bottle is great - if it would not spill out of the bottom instead. Every bottle is equipped with a soft MAM Ultivent teat which is meant to encourage natural suckling action just like during breast feeding. My daughter - a fussy feeder - seemed to get on with the teat really well. The bottle additionally has an anti-colic valve which constantly controls the flow of air into the bottle by reacting to the demands made by baby. I find this a very important factor as unfortunately a lot of babies do suffer from colics. It also has a wide neck for easy filling and an to read scale for accurate measuring in ml/oz. The price is at around £3.99/bottle or £10.99 for a pack of 3. Replacement teats can be purchased at £2.99 per pack....

Review of MAM Single Pack 260ml Ultivent Feeding Bottle

MAM Ultivent - Great bottle for fussy baby!

Advantages: nice design and colours, nice wide teat and anti colic
Disadvantages: faff to clean

...I bought these bottles when after breatfeeding my daughter I had another brand of bottle but she would just scream and refuse to drink from it. The MAM bottle is made with a teat that is mean't to feel like skin or a mothers breat and is also has quite a wide teat which my daughter preferred to the narrow teats. It also has a unique valve in the bottom which helps to prevent colic and give a good flow of milk they come in lovely colours and designs and are quite pretty. The only downside is having to take it all apart to clean so you end up with five bits to clean and sterilise but its easier than trying to reach all the nooks and crannys in a normal bottle....

Review of MAM Ultivent

MAM Ultivent

Advantages: Anti-colic, easy to keep clean, good shaped teat
Disadvantages: care needed on re-assembley, take longer to heat in bottlewarmer

...I purchased MAM after much research into bottles marketed for their claim to reduce the chances of baby suffering colic. I purchased both the 160ml and the 260ml bottles. I can never know for sure that they have prevented my baby from suffering colic as they are the only bottles he has been fed with. But to date, he is 14 weeks, he has not been troubled at all. Bottles are very easy to keep clean and teats are shaped to mimic a nipple and sit comfortably in baby's mouth. The small size are especially good for tiring night feeds as they sit comfortably in your hand. Dislike - they leak if you don't re-assemble properly and securely. Take longer to heat in bottlewarmer....

Review of MAM Ultivent

Mam - yes please!

Advantages: Easy to clean, unique design allows air to flow through the bottle
Disadvantages: Water will leak if the base is not secured properly

...My baby is now 5 months old and I have used these bottles since he was Newborn as I had the Mam breast pump. In my opinion these Mam bottles are absolutely brilliant! I also had the Avent bottles - these are now in the bin! The unique design of the bottle allows the air to be pushed through the bottle rather than getting trapped like in the Avent bottles. My baby never suffered with chronic wind and I have to say I think it maybe something to do with these bottles, because he would have quite bad wind when drinking from the Avent bottle. They are extremely easy to clean as the bottle comes apart in 3 sections, so you don't have to spend ages with a bottle brush trying to scrub the milk out of the bottom!! However, as with everything it does have a slight downfall. If the bottom part is not secured properly then water will leak...

Review of MAM Single Pack 260ml Ultivent Feeding Bottle

Breast Stroking

Advantages: Easy to clean, valves that work and a uniquely shaped teat
Disadvantages: Fiddly to put together, impossible to measure small amounts

...caused a screaming session and I was getting increasingly desperate. Then, when coming away from a meeting with the health visitors a lady came over to me. ?I couldn?t help overhearing you there. I had the same issue. Have you tried Mams Ultivent bottles??. Yet another piece of advice. Great. But I was desperate and willing to try anything so off I traipsed to the shops to buy yet another bottle. And so began the turning point. The USP Mams Ultivent bottles are quite unlike any other. For a start they come apart into 6 pieces, a base, a rubber valve, the body of the bottle, a teat, teat ring and cap. No single part of the bottle is capable of holding any liquid when not put together as a whole bottle. The teats too are very different from the norm. Rather than being rounded they have two flat sides...

Review of Sassy Mam UltiVent Bottle

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...

Review of Avent Feeding Bottles

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....
