My Bottle Review

I HATE the old Avent bottles...we have used them for 17 months and I have never liked them.  I decided #2 will get a new bottle (which he hopefully won't need to use for every feeding like his brother...but that is another post).  Well Avent...you leaked for the last time!

Why do I hate the Classic Avent model?
Because it leaks...and not like you would expect.  It leaks out of the bottom of the connecting piece...and you never know if it will leak or not until you are using it and suddenly covered in milk.  It was heartbreaking when the bottles were full of breast milk, annoying when they were full of expensive formula, and now I am just MAD!  I looked up every suggestion online (apparently a lot of people are annoyed with this issue), but honestly the suggestions were stupid.

Why did I put up with it for so long?
Because I have a LOT and they were expensive.  I also have researched and it's hard to find a bottle that doesn't have reviews that they leak.
I remember being confused by all the reviews when I decided on Avent but there were plenty of reviews that said leaking is only an issue if you don't put the bottle together properly (with the washer) or if you don't close it all the way...I figured the people complaining about the leaks were just complainers not to be taken seriously; after all, most bottles had reviews claiming the bottles leak.

I bought one of 3 different highly reviewed bottles and let Zack be my guinea pig.

I know what you're thinking...she bought AVENT???  They redesigned the bottle and surprisingly Avent is still the highest rated bottle.

Zack enjoyed all bottles.

Each held up after being washed in the dishwasher.

None leaked.

Basically it came down to my personal favorite.  SURPRISE...I liked the Avent (the new design)!
Tommee Tippie - the only thing that bothered me about this bottle is the nipple would come right through the attachment while you were putting it together...if you didn't pull to hard it wasn't an issue but it happened a couple times and it didn't with the others so this one was out.
Doc. Browns - I have no issue with this one but there were lots of parts and I remember when people other than Adam or I would make a bottle with the Avent (classic) they would forget the washer...or need help figuring it out.  Basically I figure the new Avent has only a nipple, connector and bottle so why not go with simple.
