Most Helpful Reviews on Philips AVENT Classic Bottle.

  • 3.0 out of 5 stars(3/5) – 11/9/2012 – Loved the new design and have used Avent in the past with good results. This time tried the new “just like Mommy’s breast” bottles with preemie twins. The nipples are larger at the base and very small mouths don’t create a seal so lots of formula leaks out the sides of the mouths…. (read more and buy it at Amazon.com)

  • 2.0 out of 5 stars(2/5) – 1/23/2011 – I happily own other Avent bottles and other Avent products so i didn;t hesistate to order extra bottles. To my surprise design had changed: now there is an extra protection layer that needs to be put on a bottle first and then you screw the nipple on a lid. Common , when you are attending little one there is NO time for extra item in bottle assembly…. (read more and buy it at Diapers.com)

  • 2.0 out of 5 stars(2/5) – 9/21/2011 – … I tried Avent when I started pumping. It leaked; she didn’t like the nipple; the bottles were a bit unwieldy for her to hold; I got rid of them. I was particularly happy I did so once I started watching my niece a lot and dealt with the mess. These bottles get worn out & leak. They have to be screwed on at just the right alignment & the nipples have to be lined up right or they leak…. (read more and buy it at Walmart.com)
  • 1.0 out of 5 stars(1/5) – 5/29/11 – I am so angry. These bottles have caused too many spills.. I had the adapter ring on and must not have tightened down on it enough. It was all over baby and bed before I even realized it. Several other times I have forgotten the adapter ring with same result. Why in the world does this design require this additional sealing ring? We never had this 8 yrs ago with my older daughter and we loved these bottles…. (read more and buy it at Babiesrus.com)
