Product Description
The Newborn Starter Set is the ideal gift for new moms and their babies. It includes everything that you need for that special day when you bring baby home. The Avent bottle is specially designed to help you and your baby combine breast and bottle feeding with ease. The wide soft nipple mimics the breast in form and function. Also, all Avent bottles attach to the ISIS Breast Pump allowing you to express and store your breastmilk for later use.
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

Summary: No where near as good as Ventaire 2008-05-01
Comment: These bottles have been used in the UK for years. I bought one and my husband made the passing remark, Oh, everyone uses these back home (him being British). When shopping for bottles while I was pregnant, we'd bought the Newborn set of Playtex drop-ins, a gift-set of the Ventaires and it wasn't until my son was about 2 weeks old that I bought one of these.
My son is now 11 weeks old and I can honestly say that I only use this bottle as a last resort. My husband and I, both have had problems with leaks, though not terribly so. It isn't due to the lack of following instructions, either. As I said, these are the most common ones my husband has used in England and he's very familiar with them.
The main reason I don't like these bottles is that the vents are on the nipple ring, allowing the air to pass through and aerate the formula, contributing to gas, which is thought to be the main cause of colic. The slower flow nipple is still too fast for my baby, even with him being a big eater. He has trouble controlling the flow on this bottle, that's where he gets messy, stuggles to feed, gets frustrated and then refuses the bottle. The ventaire bottles allow the natural vacuum in the bottle to suck air in through the bottle of the bottle via a thin silicone membrane on the vent rings. No air enters the formula and bubbles stay far away from baby's tummy.
Like others, I too, have found that the nipple isn't helpful to a breast/bottle fed baby. The shape looks like it would be helpful with latch as the pacakge suggests, but, really, any wide neck bottle provides a bit of latch help just as much. The silicone on these is just too thick and firm.
If you do want to try these bottles, I suggest putting in an anti-gas agent, like simethicone (Mylicon, I use the Wal-mart brand... much more affordable), into the formula before shaking. This will greatly reduce the retention of bubbles in the bottle, and burp your baby well. I also suggest getting the nipple slower than what the package suggests.
Just remember, bubbles going through the formula means bubbles in the tummy, and bubbles in the tummy means gas and discomfort.

Summary: Just Ok 2008-04-27
Comment: I am not impressed by these bottles. Yeah they work and I guess get the job done. However, they DO leak and are not breastfed baby compatible no moatter how they are advertised. My son will drink from them when he HAS too but never is happy afterwards due to the gas it causes in him. I am not looking for a better option. I am glad they were a gift and I did not spend any money on them.

Summary: Contain BPA 2008-04-23
Comment: I'm a little concerned that this product showed up on a list on Amazon.com when I searched BPA-free bottles. I've used Avent bottles with both my kids, but now I am in the process of switching to something BPA-free. As I was looking for options, I searched Amazon.com and Avent came up as an option. These bottles contain BPA. I think this is misleading potential buyers!!

Summary: Super Easy!!! Great bottles!!! 2008-04-17
Comment: For my first baby, I tried to do what I thought was absolutely the best. This included using Dr. Brown's bottles. I wanted to kill myself every night when I had to come home and wash FIVE different pieces for EACH bottle (and have to stick the thin brush into all the holes, tube, etc). For baby number two, I wisened up and used the Avent. LOVE THEM!! and...my baby is still being breastfed at night (10 months old) and uses the Avent bottles at daycare during the day. No confusion. He loves both and so do I. Take it from me - just do yourself a favor when trying to adjust to motherhood....keep it simple and give yourself a break.

Summary: AVENT BOTTLES CONTAIN BPA BISPHENOL-A. 2008-04-09
Comment: I liked Avent Bottles, my daughter Liked them too! Then I found out about Bisphenol -A being used to make the Bottles. After re-searching Bisphenol -A, I discovered that exposing my baby to harmful chemicals with the potential for long term affects later in life, was definitely not for me!! There are other options out there, all glass bottles are safe, as well as Born Free, Mam by Sassy, Green to Grow and Adrini. Do your own research. I'm really surprised the non Bisphenol -A Free bottles haven't been recalled yet! I'm sure it's just a matter of time, before enough people are educated.
