 Best way to avoid leakageMay 03, 2009
By Michelle
These bottles do indeed leak, unless you can figure out the 'trick'... It really ought to be documented from the manufacturer.
This is what I do:
Fill up the bottle with formula (or milk), make sure the edge of the bottle is clean. Now wet the nipple (the inside rubber part) thoroughly (this is the 'trick'). When you screw on the nipple, go slowly, make sure it's straight on, and don't over tighten. With the wet nipple, you can sort of feel (and hear) when it gets a good seal, it's sort of a "suction" noise.
I hope this helps.

 Leaky What???Mar 04, 2009
By Harrison Cole
For my newborn we decided to buy the original Avent bottle system and were completely happy with it! That is until Avent removed the original bottles and replaced them with the LEAKY bpa-free ones! So now we have 6 original and 6 bpa-free bottles. This is painful to deal with. There is clearly a design flaw with the new bottles! It's like the bottles are warped and the rings don't screw on clean and easy! So, Initially I thought that I wasn't screwing the caps on tight enough. What a misconception! Tight or loose, those bottles continued to leak! Avent needs to accept responsibility for this shortcoming and replace our bottles!!!

Leaky shoddy productOct 15, 2009
By ufdrew79
Wish I could give this product ZERO stars...
Please do yourself a favor and go with another brand, On any given day 1 out of 3 bottles leak. Originally I read all the negative reviews and thought that people were just installing the nipple incorrectly, however I was sadly mistaken. A leaky bottle might not sound like that much of an issue, but try dealing with a wet sticky baby at 3am in the morning.
There is a serious design flaw with these bottles and Phillips Avent will not address or accept fault. Their customer service is terrible, putting the fault on the consumer. Phillips has lost me as a lifelong customer and I will ensure that all my friends and family will steer clear of such a shoddy product and shady company.
I have since switched my bottles out to Born Free and have not had 1 leaky bottle incident.
If you do decide to go with these bottles I hope you have better luck than I and the many other people did.

 Don't buy these honey-colored PES Avent bottles; buy the cloudy PP bottlesJan 16, 2011
By K. Lam
For our first baby born in July '07, we used (and loved) the original Polycarbonate Avent bottles the first few months. Then the BPA paranoia overtook us, and we switched to Born Free bottles, which are made of honey-colored Polyether Sulphone (PES). The Born Free bottles worked well enough, but we hated the 2 extra complicated parts per bottle that we had to clean. For our second kid born in Sept '09, we wanted badly to switch back to Avent, but read poor reviews of the PES BPA-free Avent bottles (apparently they leaked for many users). Fortunately, right around that time, Avent introduced a second line of BPA-free bottles made of the cloudy Polypropylene (PPE), and initial reviews indicated that Avent fixed the leaks (by adding a simple removable collar between the bottle and nipple). After 1 month of using these new PPE Avent bottles, I can attest that they indeed don't leak, and I don't need to take special care or do any procedure to make them leak-free. They just don't leak. Yes, the newly added collar is an extra part to clean, but at least it's a simple part that's easy to clean. So for all you Avent fans out there, take heart! Avent fixed the leaks. Tip: the leaky PES honey-colored bottles come in yellow-colored boxes. The new leak-free PPE cloudy bottles come in blue-colored boxes. Buy the blue-colored boxes.

 You only have to read the instructions....Jan 16, 2010
By Tracey
"BizziMum"
As Michelle from Denver points out, there is a knack...most people don't read the manufacturers instructions because they're thinking 'what could be so hard about using a baby bottle...?' We've been using Avent bottles for over 13 years (8 children) and thankfully my husband DID read the 'tiny print' instructions.
What Michelle says is right - make sure the teat is fitting snugly, whatever you do DON'T OVERTIGHTEN (otherwise you'll cause a vacuum effect - that's when the bottles leak), there should be a 'nitch' on the white part of the screw top piece, line this up with your baby's nose, you should hear a whistling sound as the milk flows out and is replaced by air. I hope this helps.
