 Leaky BPA FREE Avent Bottles ~ Consider other bottles Dec 29, 2008
By J. Lynn Reviews
"Love My Kids"
I am on my 3rd child with Avent bottles. I had no issues with the first two kids with leaking. When they came out with BPA free, I purchased all new bottles for the 3rd. It does not matter what we do, these leak. Sometimes it leaks from the hard plastic area that screws onto the bottle other times from the nipple itself. It does not matter what we do or how we do it and frankly who needs a full time project with screwing a nipple on in the middle of the night? These have leaked all over my purse and all over the baby. Just a complete mess. I do not remember the other 20 bottles (not BPA free) ever leaking.
I just called Phillips (Avent Manufacturer) to complain. The number is 800-54-AVENT. I was told to send 1/2 the bottles back so that they can test them and that is the only way I can get a refund. Unfortunately this will be another project to determine which out of my 10 bottles to send since I am not even sure which ones are causing the problem or if sometimes they are OK and other times not. My other issue is that these bottles are completely over-priced. I only got these because we liked the Avent bottles and never had issues before and wanted to stick with what I know. I just wanted to write a review for two reasons: 1) So that future consumers thing twice about buying these and 2) To give the phone number to contact the manufacturer for those of you that are already stuck with them. Hopefully the more people that complain, they will resolve the issue and maybe you can get money back.

 Buy the BPA-free Avent bottles made from Polypropylene (PPE) instead Oct 21, 2009
By K. Lam
Stop! Do not buy these "old" Avent BPA-free bottles. These are the honey-colored Polyether Sulphone (PES) bottles that, for whatever reason, leaks for many people. They come in yellow-colored boxes. Instead, buy the newer Avent BPA-free bottles made from the Polypropylene (PPE), which has a cloudy appearance. These newer PPE bottles don't leak. These newer PPE bottles come in blue-colored boxes.

 Great bottles, no leaks if you follow directions Mar 15, 2010
By Steven L. Gilgour
You can find these simple directions from Avent elsewhere on the internet, and if you follow them, you won't experience any more leaks than you do with other bottles. We had a set of Dr. Brown's but found these Avent bottles reduced fussiness and gas with our infant. We love them! Here are the directions:
1. Ensure that the nipple is wet
2. Place nipple in screw ring and pull through until a click is heard
3. Screw the screw ring firmly onto the bottle
Note: the screwing action causes the anti-colic sealing skirt to spread out
and create the seal against the inside of the bottle neck.

 Finally! ...and no leaks. Oct 04, 2008
By N. A. Judge
Finally Avent has a decent BPA free bottle. I have the Isis pump and all the other Avent bells and whistles, but had to switch to Dr. Brown's BPA free bottles. Dr. B's are good, but a PAIN to clean. I picked up 2 Avent BPA-free bottles at Target to give them a try after reading the mixed reviews. I am ordering more from Amazon - they work great, just like the regular polycarbonate bottles. I think the trick to fixing a leak issue is twofold: Make sure the nipple is "snapped" in and (most important) don't over-tighten the nipple and collar onto the bottle. Over-tightening WILL cause leaks. A decent "finger tight" turn will do. I only gave these 4 stars because of price. I wish they would have made polypropylene bottles (the translucent plastic) - they would have been cheaper. But, I guess having good, BPA-free bottles that work seemlessly with all the stuff I already have, are super-easy to clean, and are NOT made in China is worth the extra cost.

Finally...Avent has BPA Free Bottles! Aug 13, 2008
By LMR
I am a huge fan of Avent bottles. I used the original Avent bottles then switched to Born Free (which leaked) so I switch back to Avent when the BPA Free bottles became available. I love Avent bottles b/c they are easy to clean, have several nipple options, come in several sizes, and the formula warms up better b/c of the wide shape. So when I saw Avent now has BPA Free bottles it was a no brainier for me to stock up!
