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!

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!

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.

I bought this starter set based on the good reviews and I had heard that Avent bottle nipples were the closest thing to breastfeeding. My daughter refuses to take these bottles. I think that the nipple is too hard for her – it doesn’t really seem to mimic the breast to me! I like the bottles themselves but I don’t think they are that great for a breastfeeding baby. I have since switched to the Playtex premium nurser system which has a softer nipple that my daughter likes. A word to the wise: when you are trying to figure out what your baby will take, don’t buy an entire bottle feeding system because they may not like the bottle and then you have to start all over again. In retrospect, I would have just bought one Avent bottle and tried it out instead of dropping $30 for nothing.

This set is much better than Avent’s last “Newborn Starter Set”. The old set had 1 pacifier, 2 4oz bottles, 2 9oz bottles, 4 newborn (number 1) nipples and 1 bottle brush.
This set has 2 newborn pacifiers, 2 4oz bottles, 3 9oz bottles, 5 newborn (number 1) nipples, and 1 bottle brush. This set is great when you couple it with the Avent Infant Feeding Set (4 9oz bottles, 1 pacifier, 4 travel nipple bases, 4 sealing disks, and 4 slow flow (number 2) nipples.
Avent is really improving the products they offer.
