For what you pay for the bottles, I had expected better quality. I would definitely not recommend these bottles to any of my friends. It is very frustrating when you have to open the bottle and try re-sealing it several times while the baby is screaming. I've had several occasions where the milk leaked as soon it was tilted to go into the baby's mouth. When I complained at Avent's website, the response was that I should use some water around the nipple ring so the seal is tight. The bottles leak. What kind of design is that. Besides the fact, it is annoying when breastmilk goes waste because of the bottle design.
Both my baby and I prefer the evenflo, and the price is MUCH better on evenflo. Some of disadvantage for me - can't use a standard nipple.
Avent isn't a bad bottle, just isn't as good as some of the others out there, and the price is on the ridiculous side for what you get. Also, the nipple set is three pieces which isn't as convenient to clean and put back together as the evenflo.
Some of the small apple juices come with their own little plastic bottle ready for a standard nipple - can't use the Avent nipple - it only fits the Avent. Evenflo seems to do a much better job reducing the amount of air she gets.
I have a set of these bottles and I also have the evenflo. I'm giving away my avent bottles.
Lastly, I cannot tell that my baby gets any less air from the Avent.
Like others have said, the bottles leak if you don't follow directions when putting the top on, but once you get that down it is not a problem. My baby has little spitting up and is not fussy or very gassy.
This product does not produce gas at all in My baby , I simply put him over my shoulder and the gas is out. With regard to the quality I must say that I have almost 2 years using the same bottles and nipples, and these have not been bad by the continued use and sterilization. that would be the only cause. This product meet all my expectations, that is exactly what the advertising says. I understand that some babies seem a little hard on the nipple but for my baby and babies of two of my friends are the best products. If your baby has a gas problem could you check what kind of hole is at the tip of the nipple.
Contrary to another reviewer, even if you do assemble these bottles perfectly correctly, the still leak from time to time. We do not have these problems with Nuk or Medela newborn bottles and nipples. These bottles may be great for older babies, but are not good for newborns. The nipples are far too large, letting in too much air causing spitting up and lots of burps. For these reasons, I cannot recommend them for other newborns.
