Philips Avent 3 Pack 9oz Bottles

Avent's anti-vacuum skirt and one-way air valve help reduce colic.

If you use the Avent Natural Feeding System, these 9-ounce bottles are fully interchangeable, allowing you to pump, store, and feed from the same bottle. Each bottle is made of durable, polycarbonate plastic and comes with a sealing cap to prevent leaks.

Avent invented the now-popular wide-neck bottle, with an award-winning design that's easier to clean and hold than conventional bottles. Made of dense, durable polycarbonate plastic, these bottles hold up through repeated boiling, dishwasher and microwave use. Easy-to-read markings on the bottle ensure accurate mixing and feeding measurements. Each bottle also comes with a dome cap for spill-proof mixing and transporting. This set includes three 9-ounce Avent Reusable Bottles.

F.Y.I. - I purchased the adjustable flow nipples when my son turned three months old as recommended, but nowhere in the product information does it tell you that you are supposed to line-up the Roman numerals of the nipples directly in line with your baby's nose to adjust the flow. This makes sense of course, but I had to call the 1-800 number to discover this 'little' detail.


The "BEST" bottle system around!   June 9, 2002

In my opinion, the Avent bottle system is superior to any other product on the market. These bottles are designed to reduce gas, and seem to do the job, while the wide neck allows for easy cleaning, and less mess when filling the bottles. Extremely durable, the hard plastic, and printed measurement features, on my bottles anyway, have withstood 14 months of sterilizing, dishwashing, dropping, nibbling and gnawing without any sign of cracks, splits, or chips. Moreover, the disposable system works great for storing and freezing milk, making it convenient for Moms on the go; adapts to the Avent Isis Breast Pump too. My only mistake was not buying enough bottles in the beginning when my son ate eight times a day.

As a bonus, Avent offers a spill-proof top with valve system that allows liquids through the cap only when your child is sipping, which adapts to both the 4, and 9 ounce bottles. The spill-proof top with handle, eliminates the need for sippy cups, and offers toddlers a more gradual transition to the next step.

HOWEVER, these bottles should come with an instruction video. I learned the hard way that the nipples need to be completely SNAPPED into place, otherwise, these bottles will leak. In addition, the ring on the lids MUST be placed directly above the nipples, or else, they will leak if not stored completely in an upright position. Also, I purchased the adjustable flow nipples when my son turned three-months old, as recommended, but nowhere in the manual does it convey HOW to regulate the flow. The answer - one must line the Roman numerals on the nipples up to baby's nose in order to adjust the flow. This makes sense of course, ...

Despite the "learning curve," I am a VERY happy Avent customer, and glad to have made the Avent investment. Enjoy your baby!


The ultimate in baby feeding pleasure!   July 26, 2001

When I started bottle feeding my baby, I tried countless types of name brand bottles that I had received as gifts. Feeding time became a hassle because the milk cam out too fast in all the kinds I tried, not to mention that the nipples were very different than what he was used to by breast feeding. I broke down and spent the money on the Avent system, and it's the best baby purchase I've ever made. The bottles hold up well in washing, and so do the nipples. I have had no tearing problems. They did leak on me at first, but when I investigated and found I was screwing the cap too tight, I corrected it and the problem vanished. I do not know if it really causes that much less air, because I have not used other brands for a long period of time. Avent is the best system you can use for your baby. My only complaint is that the larger bottles only come with newborn sized nipples and after the first few months you don't need that size anymore. I would like to buy my bottles with the size nipple that I need, rather than having to buy the bottles that come with useless nipples and then having to buy several packs of nipples. But that's a small price to pay for superior quality.


A Really Good Bottle   December 18, 2001

I breastfed my baby, but when I had to pump and leave her with a sitter and when she began taking formula in a bottle, these were the bottles I used.

I loved that they held 9 ounces (10 if you fill them up to the top) but were short enough for the lower shelves of the fridge. The silicone nipples are much better than the brown rubber ones. These bottles and all their accessories were very durable and easy to use. The markings didn't come off in the dishwasher, even after repeated washings. Also, Avent makes a long-spouted sippy top that fits on these bottles. Using this helped my daughter switch from bottle to cup. My only complaint is the cost. They are more expensive than other bottles. But if you're only a sometimes-bottle-user, they're a good bet.


These are the best bottles available!   January 13, 2002

I wouldn't use any other kind of bottle for several reasons:
1- they work great with the avent breast pump.
2- They have wide mouth openings and this makes it easier to clean the bottle as well as dump formula or breast milk into the opening.
3- The nipples are silicon and this is very important to me since I understand from my research silicon nipples are less apt to cause breastfeeding nipple confusion.
4- The nipples seem to mimic a breast more than any other nipple on a bottle I have seen. I was concerned about nipple confusion for the few times I wanted to bottle feed instead of breast feed and I understand that these are some of the best available that mimic a mother's breast.
5- We have noticed that our children have less gas when they use these bottles rather than a normal, cheap type bottle. (maybe it's our imagination, but we think that this is the case.)
6- the whole avent system makes for easy growing with the child- there are different nipples for different ages, including a sippy cup nipple. Great.

These bottles are great. My husband sometimes screws a lid on wrong and gets shaking it and formula leaks out the sides. This is only when he doesn't screw the lid on correctly. I have never had this problem.

We wouldn't use any other type of bottle. They are well worth the money.
