I had thought I loved these bottles.but I have never been so dissapointed and frustrated.2am ,my daughter is completely soaked. now she is starving,freezing,being changed and hungry in the middle of the night.they leak so much and formula is expensive. I want my money back.
You'd think after all this time I would have figured out how to keep them from leaking, but no, there's no rhyme or reason to it. It happens again.
And by leaking I mean leak A LOT. A lot of milk dribbles out.down your arm, onto your lap.all over your chair.
Just when you least expect it for no obvious reason these bottles leak. And after awhile, just when you forget how much they leak.bam.
It's really annoying, especially since these bottles are NOT cheap. You'd think they could design them better than this.
This is the second time I've used these bottles (I kept them for my second child because they cost so much I didn't want to replace them) and the leaking has annoyed me so much that I was inspired to get online and post this review. I would strongly recommend another brand.
I have tried many different ways of securing the top on the bottle, but it never fails that when I go to shake the bottle to mix the formula it leaks. I have used these bottles since my son was 1 month old. This is not fun at 2:30 am. He likes the nipple and latches on well and this bottle has not messed up being able to breastfeed. However, I have the same problem as many of the others who have posted here.the bottles leak. Seems as there is a flaw in the design. Other than this issue the bottles work well.
My son is 2 1/2 months old. We never have problems with our Born Free bottles but noticed that he cries and has stomach problems after being fed with the Avent bottles. I will keep them to use when he's older but they aren't good for newborns.
In the end, I am overly frustrated with no response from Avent Philips to my inquiries and further frustrated with the fact that one needs a degree in product engineering to assemble a friggin' bottle to feed their child. Then through further web-searching I found where an outstanding user of these bottles mentioned to reassemble the lid and nipple with at least two of the vents under the threads of the cap.
I purchased the two pack of the 9oz bottles. They leak.
My opinion is that Avent Philips has developed a faulty product. Still leaks.
The vents leak milk/formula. I went to the Avent Philips website and found where the company recognizes this flaw and suggests to reassemble the nipple and bottle-cap portion while still wet from cleaning and do not overtighten.
This has limited success. My recommendation is to find a bottle that you can put the lid on and not worry about the positioning of vents, over-tightening, etc.
