Avent Bottles

I love these bottles, and am even happier now that Avent came out with a BPA Free version. The bottles are very versitile and easy to use. The only time that I had a problem with the bottle leaking is when I did not put the top on properly. If you tighten them down to hard, they will leak, as the instruction say. You just need to tighten them until they are snug. My son is now 20 months old and we still use the bottles for his food, which helps on the amount of "kid" stuff that clutters up my cabinets. I pop in the stopper in place of the nipple and voila, instant snack cup. The 4oz are a perfect size for small snacks and fit everywhere. I would totally recommend these to any new Mom.

The only bottle that I did not like one bit was the magic cup. This thing leaked everywhere. Liquid would come out of the vent whole and around the sipper nozzle when the cup was standing up...without my son drinking out of it. If you are looking for a great sippy, try the Nuby or Foogo brand. I have several different ones and they are GREAT!!! They are also BPA Free.

BPA free Avent Bottles

Bpa safe baby bottles, safe for my baby.
I had the regular avent bottles, and I was happy with them, but seeing that averyone was freaking out on the BPA issue, I have decided to join the movement and changed to BPA free, but I stick with Avent products because baby likes them, they are safer in the hands of my baby than a glass bottle:)

Beware! Expensive Leaky bottles. Dont waste your money.

I started using Avent bottles last year when my son was born. They had great bottles, very easy and convenient to use. They never once leaked on me, which is why I got really sad when they had to be recalled in Canada due to the BPA issue. Then I switched to Born free bottles for the meantime since they were the next best thing out there when it comes to baby bottles (at least according to me).

When the new Avent BPA-free bottles came out, I was extremely happy. Little did I know that I was in for a big disappointment. The new bottles are leaky. The first time I used one of the bottles, I had it filled with water and kept it in my diaper bag. When I had to take it out to make some milk I noticed that my bag was wet on the side where the bottle was and so are some of my son's things. Also I have to constantly check for leaking before I give my son his bottle. It takes a lot of screwing and unscrewing the cap before the leaking finally stops. There are times though that I am not successful. It gets really frustrating because I have to do this everytime time I feed him. And believe me you don't want to go through all these when you've one hungry screaming baby. With the old Avent bottles, I never check for leaks because they NEVER leaked. I don't understand why the old bottles worked so well and the new ones don't.

They're a complete waste of money. The only good thing about this experience probably is that I actually decided to try them out first(eventhough I have used Avent before)before buying more. Now I'm fully switching to Born free bottles. They're about the same price range as the BPA-fee Avent and I think they're better. You never have to worry about leaking specially if you're in a hurry. I'm never buying from Avent again.
