Avent Baby Philips Anti-Colic Baby Bottles 3pk, 4oz

I spend more time trying fix leaking lids and nipples than I do feeding my twins. The last thing I need is the frustration of trying to fix lids while two babies are screaming at me.

These bottles are the absolute worst bottles made to man. 10 times out of 10 they’re leaking milk. No matter how many times I rework the nipple into the ring, adjust the airflow vent, tighten or loosen the top. They’re still leaking. I’ve bought 9 bottles and they’re all the same. Junk and a waste of money.

We thought we found the perfect bottle after trying multiple different brands. We ended up buying 12 of these and within a month the anti colic insert warped from being put in the bottle sanitizer causing them to excessively leak. Even though they are dishwasher and sanitizer safe, Phillips says they do not recommended it after we reached out with our issue. We switched to Tommee Tippee advanced anti colic bottles and have no issues since. Even putting them in the dishwasher and sanitizer. These are a much better product. Steer clear of the Phillips Avent Anti Colic bottles to avoid this frustration.

We received this bottle as part of a gift from the Babylist bottle box, and it did not work for us. The bottle leaked, which is not a problem you want to have in the middle of the night or when you’re on the go. I tried using it a second time and the same thing happened, so we discarded it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My son loves these bottles. The wide base helps him latch correctly and he drinks his formula no problem!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These bottles have made baby life so much easier. They really did reduce gas and we hardly ever dealt with spit up! My only complaint is sometimes closing it can be tricky which led to leaks. More of a user error though!

This bottle has helped tremendously with feedings on my son. It has cut down on the amount of air he would swallow, this causing less gas and for a much happier baby. Sometimes the formula doesn’t completely desolve in the water if the green piece is placed before shaking. However, we have found that if you shake the formula first then put the green piece inside the bottle the formula desolves better.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this bottle set from the Stellar Product Testing Panel. They were tested on our one month old child and appear to alleviate some gas that is otherwise experienced after breast feeding. It’s hard to say the impact the bottles have, but they are a solid product that the baby was able to adapt to drinking from. They do leak, so I suggest always having a clean cloth nearby to clean up dribble. Also, hand wash the internal straw part. They are easier to care for than other bottles and the bottles easily connect to my breast pump which allows for easy transition and minimizes cleanup. The step 1 slow flow nipples are still pretty fast for a newborn, so I recommend still using pace feeding so they don’t consume too much too fast.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I want to thank the Stellar Panel for gifting me this Philips Avent Anti-Colic Baby Bottle with Airfree Vent set. These bottles were wonderful to test and use. I will likely be purchasing more for our newborn. We have been having some burping trouble (he wouldn’t burp after 30 minutes of trying) resulting in a LOT of spit-up in places. So these bottles came at a very opportune time. They are nice and small, and the green anti-colic vent pulls the air away from the nipple nicely. We received two so we make sure to use this bottle during the late night and early morning feeds when he wants to fall right back to sleep and rarely burps for us. I think these bottles are primarily meant for people using formula, as that tends to have more bubbles. Regardless, we love that it allows the nipple to fill slowly and that the milk can’t escape easily. Air bubbles are eliminated from the feed. Our little buddy took the nipple no problem; no nipple confusion here! You do have to make sure the green vent is placed in correctly or it does leak a bit. Once you get the hang of it though it’s no problem. Be aware of user error! Otherwise the bottles are very easy to assemble and use, especially if you have used Philips Avent bottles in the past. I don’t know why these 4oz bottles are so much smaller in size than the 4oz bottles that come with the natural nipples, but these smaller ones are much more convenient for keeping in coolers if say, you are heading to the beach. It’s the same amount of liquid gold, just a slimmer design. Overall these bottles definitely help us reduce baby's gas and discomfort, so we will continue to use them. It is convenient that all avent bottles work with any screw ring, so I can use these bottles and the green anti-colic vent with the natural nipple if I want to. We are still nursing and pumping so the natural nipple combined with the vent and smaller bottle makes me a very happy mama. I do wish you could purchase the vents separately! Highly recommend, especially if you find yourself with a particularly gassy, fussy, or colicky baby.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a first-time mom I originally planned on exclusively breastfeeding. Unfortunately, I wasn’t producing a lot of milk in the beginning, so I had to turn to formula. I received this bottle set to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel and thank goodness I did. I tried a few others prior to these and neither I nor baby particularly liked them. I noticed that with the other bottles my daughter, who is a fast eater, would at times start to choke. She had no such problems with these bottles. The fact that the nipple always has milk to prevent baby from absorbing air is reassuring. I definitely noticed a decrease in how often she would spit-up after feedings. She also seemed to like this nipple over the ones from other bottles. Finally, these are super easy to clean and put together. I know other anti-colic bottles have several small parts, but these only have one and it’s a really cool design. I would definitely recommend these bottles to other moms even if their baby doesn’t have problems with colic.
