Editorial Reviews and Product Descriptions

Product Description

An ideal gift for new parents and their babies, this Avent newborn starter set combines many essentials for taking care of Baby. This starter set includes two 4-oz. feeding bottles with newborn-size nipples, two 9-oz. feeding bottles with newborn-size nipples, 2 newborn-size nipples, 1 bottle brush, 1 silicone newborn-size pacifier and a bottle of Babycare body and hair wash. Developed in Britain, award-winning Avent bottles more closely simulate the natural feeding process for happier, less colicky babies. The Avent bottle's broad, soft silicone nipple mimics the shape and feel of the breast so Baby can suckle more naturally. Plus, a patented anti-vacuum valve allows air into the bottle as Baby feeds, so less air is swallowed than with conventional bottles. Wide neck design makes cleaning and filling easier too. Bottles are compatible for use with the Avent ISIS breast pump. Imported.
Amazon.com Product Reviews

The key feature of the Philips Avent newborn starter set bottles is the patented anti-colic nipple. It has an anti-vacuum skirt and one-way air valve that reduces air into the baby's stomach, and hence, reduces painful gas and colic. The natural shape and feel of the silicone nipple closely resembles the breast to make it easier to combine bottle and breastfeeding. The wide-neck bottles are easy to refill and clean. The cap seals the nipple to prevent leaking while mixing or traveling. The set includes two 4-oz. and three 9-oz. reusable bottles and five Avent anti-colic nipples, five dome caps, two newborn pacifiers with caps, and a bottle brush. --Scott Teal

These bottles contain BPA, a chemical that mimics hormones and can disrupt develop, especially in infants. We had these bottles and have replaced them with glass bottles and stainless steel sippy cups. Avent pacifiers also contain BPA, steer clear of these products!!

Unfortunately, these bottles contain BPA that can leak into your baby's milk if you heat them. When I found out we immediately switched to Evenflo glass bottles.
Otherwise I actually liked the bottles. I liked the wide opening that allows for easy cleaning. I hardly had any leaks, only sometimes when I didn't screw the lid on just right or when the nipple wasn't pulled all the way through.
What I didn't like was that they are not compatible with any other breast pump except Avent breast pumps. However, Avent breast pumps never worked for me, so that was a major bummer. I think someone makes conversion kits for Avent bottles so they might fit onto a standard bottle sized breast pump.
Why can't they make these in glass or at least in plastic without BPA?

These bottles are horrible! They leak no matter how much or little you tighten the ring.
Avent system: excellent quality bottles and nipples, some concern about BPA with heating - Reviewed on 2008-06-07

Despite the concerns about BPA we are using these bottles for our daughter, and using canned formula to supplement breastfeeding. The concern with BPA seems to be heightened when the bottles are washed with hot water, or sterilized at hot temperatures. We bought this sterilizer, but have stopped using it. However, we still use the dishwasher, which is fairly hot. I am keeping an eye on Avent's statements:

We keep using them because they seem to be really excellent bottles and nipples, she feeds easily and doesn't get a whole lot of gas. The nipples are designed so that you can graduate her to faster flow nipples as she gets bigger. We are hoping that the BPA concerns will turn out to be unwarranted.

I tried these, however, after calling AVENT I was informed that the bottles contain BPA! I switched to the tempo liner bottle and my son took the change fine.
