Avent Twin Bottle

I breastfed my first child so I had no use for bottles because she went straight onto a sippy cup. But with my second daughter, I had to start bottle feeding her at about 8 weeks because my milk just would not satisfy her. I didn't even do any research on what type to buy, I just went straight for the Avent bottles, mainly because I'd seen most of my friends & family use them and I knew Avent was a trusted make. Because I was going to part breast/part bottle feed her I just bought a twin pack at first, I think it was approx £11, but this contained the bottles & teats so I didn't need to think about purchasing anything else (apart from the formula!). ...  Read the complete review

I chose to switch to bottle feeding my son after a week and my mum bought me some standard bottles. At the time i was using cartons of formula so this was fine. Eventually my sister told me about the Avent bottles and the powder milk. I bought two bottles to try them out. I found them excellant. They have very large necks and so are very easy to put scoops of formula in them. Also you do not have to put discs on them to mix the formula as the lid when put on presses down on the teat so that you will not lose any milk when shaking. You can buy 4 different teats for them and then a spout for older babies. I have now moved my son onto the spouts. You can also get ...  Read the complete review

I chose Avent bottles when I had my first baby because they had a wide neck for making up formula milk and easy cleaning, they looked nice and they seemed to have a lot of accessories available. You can buy large or small bottles. All teats (slow, medium and fast flow available) fit into a plastic lid which fits onto either the large or small bottles so you can use the same tops on any size bottles. I decided to get the large bottles so that I did not have to re-buy bigger bottles once my baby?s appetite increased. All bottles have measures marked on the sides so you can monitor how much your baby drinks and also for measuring up water when making up formula milk. ...  Read the complete review

I have to agree with jacksmum. My first lot of Avent bottles are 3 and a half years old and are still going strong for son number two. They've been sterilised countless times, dishwashed, dropped, thrown, bathed, microwaved and had countless other adventures! They remain much easier to fill than slim bottles, are more stable - having a wider base, you can still read the measurements on the side of my ancient ones and they are very easy to clean. When I first bought them, I thought that over £5 a bottle was a lot to pay, but boy, have we had our money's worth out of them. The teats now have numbers printed on them to tell you which size they ...  Read the complete review

I decided that I would like to breastfeed Jack, and did for about 6 weeks, but when I was pregnant I started to build up my bottom drawer and wasn't too sure about what bottles to choose for expressing milk and eventually bottle feeding. It seemed that Avent were the market leaders, their bottles are a nice shape and their teats claim to be clinically proven to reduce colic. I liked the fact that they did 9 oz and 4 oz bottles, plus all the accessories that go with it, steriliser/bottle carrier/dummies/breast pump etc. Once Jack was bottle fed totally I had to increase my stock of large bottles and teats, and had no problem with colic at all. Nearly all my ...  Read the complete review
