Avent Feeding Bottle

I had some of these bottles in the small and the large size, I also had some of the Tomme Tippee bottles which came free with my steriliser. After trying both styles, each very different, I found that my daughter couldn't get away with the latter and we had to stick with the Avent ones. When she was really tiny and her feeds were in smaller quantities the little bottles were great, although I found that we quickly moved onto the larger size. The bottles are fantastic and are now being made by Phillips, which in my opinion gives the brand a bit more clout as I respect Phillips for their quality. In essence I found the bottles really easy to ...  Read the complete review

MY STORY I breast fed both my sons for their first years. When my eldest son was 11 months old and I wanted to switch to bottle feed I was really confused. I was told by many mothers the risk of developing colic conditions with bottle feeds. It was then that my husband bought Avent feeding bottles from Mothercare. The thing which attracted us both was the unique shape of the bottle and the assurance that our baby is getting the next best thing to the breast and that it reduces the risk of colic. I started using it and thus became the biggest fan of Avent bottles. Both my sons have been using Avent to date and I have never ever had any problems with that. Now I ...  Read the complete review

I started using Avent bottles with my son, George, he was breastfed but I used the Avent breast pump (which you can attached directly to the feeding bottle) to express off some milk. I started him getting used to a bottle early (2 weeks old) he took to the bottle straight away. These bottles are apparently like sucking from the breast for a baby and George certainly had no problems. You can buy all sorts of accessories to use with the bottles, i.e. different flow rates of teat, from slow flow suitable for breastfed babies (as breastfed babies can get addicted to bottles and go off the breast as the bottle is easier to get the milk from!) training spouts and ...  Read the complete review

(It was an easy one! Grin! Its all true, even the wisteria! Under 200 words, subject - bottle, words to be used - kettle, wisteria, misogamist). Conor was born in the June of 1995, a bakingly hot summer. The wisteria growing up the wall outside the ward window was doing so well its perfume overpowered that horrible hospital smell. Mmm. But Conor was a very hungry baby, I was mix-feeding, and that hot, hot weather meant that good hygiene was even more important than ever. I think a misogamist designed the traditional tall, thin baby's bottle. They're almost impossible to clean well, even with those specially designed brushes, I rejected ...  Read the complete review

Avent seem to have cornered the market in bottles, sterilizers, soothers for babies. As a new mum you can go a bit mad and buy out the whole range before you have tried and tested it with you baby. A word of warning: My breastfed baby was introduced to bottles at 3 weeks of age, and the Avent system was a complete disaster. She would "chew" on the Avent teats but not be able to get any milk from them. Consequently she swallowed air and was colicy. After trying other brands and consulting friends and books (the excellent "What to expect whin you're breastfeeding", Claire Byam-Smith), this is a frequent phenomenon. I have hafd much more succes ...  Read the complete review
