Contaisn BPA -- TOXIC Substance
BPA, a synthetic sex hormone that mimics estrogen, is used to make hard polycarbonate plastic. Ninety-five percent of all baby bottles on the market are made with bisphenol A. The results of the U.S. study show that, when new bottles are heated, those manufactured by Avent, Evenflo, Dr. Brown's and Disney/First Years leached between 4.7 - 8.3 parts per billion of bisphenol A.

Do your research, moms! There are lots of bottles out there that don't contain BPA. Trusted brands like Green to grow, Born Free, Adiri, and Thinkbaby.

No Second Chance
My husband and I purchased this set with my first son, but are going to choose another bottle manufacturer for our second son. The difficultly we experienced was securing the nipple ring onto the base - it had to be in perfect alignment or there were definately leaks, sometimes more than that. It is quite frustrating when you are conducting late night feedings or traveling. I hope a new second chose will brings easier bottle feedings.

Avent Infant Feeding Set
I used these bottles with my first son and they were wonderful. They never leaked which is mentioned in many other reviews. In fact, they were the only bottles I found that never leaked. The nipples made an easy transition to bottlefeeding from breastfeeding. I now have a second child on the way and have already stocked up on Avent bottles.

Leaky, Leaky, Leaky
I used these through out my daughter's infancy, largely because I bought a whole set of them, the milk storage contraptions, the breast pump, and the pacifiers. Plus once she was used to the pacifiers and nipples she wouldn't take any other kind.
But the bottles routinely leaked, ruining several diaper bags, clothing, and nighttime feedings.
Apparently you have to screw the cap on just right- which is really difficult at 3 AM!
My daughter didn't seem to have the gas and colic that other reviews talk about, but we did use quite a bit of gas medicine between 3 and 6 months.
All in All, I think the paci's are great, the rest of it I could do without.

Horrible
I am so glad that I did not purchase these bottles for myself (they were a gift). Every single bottle leaks. It is very frustrating when you are up in the middle of the night trying to soothe your little one back to sleep & go to make a bottle just for it to leak all over. Not only is the leaking a problem the vacum it creates & the amount of air your baby drinks is horrible. I switched to Playtex Vent-Air which was better & then finally gave in & purchased the Dr. Browns. I used Avent for 1 month before switching & the day after noticed a huge difference. I thought Avent would be a good brand because of all the items & amount of space they give the Avent products in the baby store but take my advice & spend a few extra dollars to get a better bottle. I am sure your little one will appreciate it.

Convenient but unreasonable
The ideas for the bottles interchanging is great. But unfortunately the nipples cause too much gas. When they're using the bottle, you can hear constant air sucking in around their lips. Every time my little girl uses them, it seems as though she just can't get comfortable with them. I would recommend Dr.Brown's or Playtex VentAire bottles over any of these.

Ultimately, the convenience and features aren't worth the massive amount of gas the avent bottles cause.

Bottles did not decrease colic in my child
I have a ton of the Avent Bottles. It was suggested by a friend that I register for them. I should have waited until after my daughter was born. She had such a hard time with the nipples and then she would have a lot of gas. The Avent bottles are supposed to cut down on gas and colic. It didn't work for my daughter. I ended up switching to the Dr. Brown's bottles at the advice of my mother-in-law. We are a much happier family now.

Baby swallows too much air!!!!
I started my newborn out using the Avent bottles. After a few weeks, she began crying alot. You could hear the gas moving in her tummy, and every time her tummy would grumble, she would pull her legs up and shriek in pain. She would also pass gas constantly. It was so difficult to feed her because she would cough, spit and cry the whole time. Then she would be miserable with gas pains for hours afterwards. I tried switching formulas - didn't work. Tried mylicon, Zantac, gripe water, bicycling her legs, etc. etc. etc... nothing worked. The pediatrician diagnosed her with colic and said there was nothing we could do, that she would outgrow it. Finally, we decided to switch bottles (I switched to Playtex nursers.) Instantly we noticed a difference! She was extremely quiet during feedings, didn't squirm or cry! She began ingesting almost TWICE as much formula per feeding(probably because her tummy was too full of gas to take in any more with the Avent bottles!) and would go longer between feeds. And when she swallowed, it sounded different - you could tell that she was no longer swallowing air! Something about those Avent bottles made her swallow tons of air. I think it was the suction that was created inside the bottle as she ate. With the Playtex nursers, the liner inside the bottle contracts as she eats, eliminating any air bubbles. She is a completely different baby now. She is more alert and interacts with us much more because she spends less of her awake time crying.
So if you decide to buy these bottles - BEWARE. If you are already using them and your baby has colic, switch immediately! Don't just assume that colic is "normal" or will be "outgrown." Babies don't deserve to suffer this way!!!!

only leaks when over tightened
I tried several types of bottles when supplementing nursing. Even the Playtex nursers which I liked with my older children caused gas and fussiness with my son. I had received a free Avent nurser, so I tried it and the problem was eliminated. I bought the newborn set and some extras, not cheap, but worth it for a content baby! I was quite upset when they began leaking, then I discovered that unlike other bottles that leak if you don't tighten as much as possible, if you tighten Avent fully and then loosen by about a half turn, they don't leak! No gas, no leaks, happy baby!
