Amazon.com Product Reviews

The key feature of the Philips Avent newborn starter set bottles is the patented anti-colic nipple. It has an anti-vacuum skirt and one-way air valve that reduces air into the baby's stomach, and hence, reduces painful gas and colic. The natural shape and feel of the silicone nipple closely resembles the breast to make it easier to combine bottle and breastfeeding. The wide-neck bottles are easy to refill and clean. The cap seals the nipple to prevent leaking while mixing or traveling. The set includes two 4-oz. and three 9-oz. reusable bottles and five Avent anti-colic nipples, five dome caps, two newborn pacifiers with caps, and a bottle brush. --Scott Teal

From the Manufacturer
The only bottle clinically shown to reduce colic -- in a set that perfectly prepares you for bottle feeding your newborn. The AVENT Natural Feeding Bottle promotes healthier, active feeding and is the most natural choice for bottle feeding. The nipple features a built-in valve that flexes with baby's natural feeding rhythm so baby can control the flow of milk, which can help reduce overeating and spit-up. The valve also pushes bubbles out of the milk, for less air in baby's tummy and less colic and less gas after feeding. The soft, naturally shaped nipple encourages proper latch-on, making it easier for baby to switch between breast and bottle feeding. The AVENT Bottle is ultra hygienic, convenient and has no small parts to clean or assemble. A clinical study demonstrated that at two weeks of age, babies fed with the AVENT bottle showed a trend to less colic than babies fed with a conventional bottle.

READ THE INSTRUCTIONS!!!
The bottles must be assembled the right way to ensure no leaking. I think people are experiencing leaks because of failure to read directions...
-Pull the nipple through the white collar and make sure that the little ridge is sitting on top of the collar all the way around.
-Then put the dome cap onto the white collar.
-Take filled bottles and screw the nipple on as one whole assembled unit (white collar, nipple, and clear dome cap)
-Twist the dome cap until the white collar locks. Do not overtighten. Amazing...no leaks!

When all else fails, read the instructions! All products are made differently.
Our son is ready to start with nipple #3, we haven't had any problems so far. Good luck!

The best!
Avoid nipple confusion and use avent! My 6 month old baby has been using this since he was only a few days old and there is no problem! I breastfeed, but for the first 5 days when my milk hasn't come in, I used avent. My baby didn't have a problem switching from breast to bottle at all. Even today I give him juice using Avent and my son has no problem switching.

But to backtrack to the birth of my son. The hospital bottle fed my son after taking him away from me because I had a c-section. The hospital used those Similac ready made formula that comes in their own bottle. Between that nipple and the Avent nipple my baby became nipple confused. It was a horrible experience getting him used to the Avent nipple, but once he did it was smooth sailing like I mentioned above.

Learn from me! If you plan on using Avent, bring some bottles with you to the hospital and instruct the nurses to check with you before bottle feeding your baby. Trasfer the formula to the Avent bottle and you'll avoid nipple confusion!

couldn't be happier
My daughter is now 15 months and I've been using Avent since she was born. I couldn't be happier with this brand and was shocked to read a negative review! All I can say to that is these other people must not be using it correctly... Or expecting their child to take a bottle easily when they won't. Some babies won't take a bottle, and so it's always a risk if you buy a bunch of stuff at once. When my daughter was younger, she did better on the breast of course, but you have to use the right nipple for that stage. All babies are very different so the age on the package might not correspond exactly to your child. If it leaks out of their mouth, use a lower level nipple, if they suck too hard, get the next age up. The nice thing is, you save money with Avent because you can use all the same bottles all the way though the sippy cup stage, you just buy different tops. Screw the top on right and it won't leak. The reason I gave it only 4 stars was the that the last stage yellow sippy leaks. It leaks intentionally because it for older children, but still it would still be nice if it didn't pour out of the top. Also, the 3 stages in 1 nipple doesn't work that way it claims to. You are supposed to position it in their mouth 3 different ways and it will give you three different stages. Instead, which ever way you position it, it seems to let out more liquid that a level 3 top. It doesn't bother me though, she just uses that one when I run out of clean sippy tops. Also, I like that the nipples and the pacifiers are much softer than most brands and, I never needed to buy all the extra stuff like breast milk bags or sterilizers because I just used hot water and froze milk right in the 4 oz bottle. It was always very simple for me, I reccommend this brand very highly.
