Product Description

More doctors recommend the Avent Reusable Bottle than any other brand. The reasons are clear: superior form and function, plus a clinically demonstrated, award-winning design. The patented Avent Reusable Bottle Nipple has a one-way air valve clinically demonstrated to reduce colic. Plus, the nipple's soft shape allows your baby to switch effortlessly from breast to bottle and back again.

Avent invented the now-popular wide-neck bottle, with an award-winning design that's easier to clean and hold than conventional bottles. Made of dense, durable polycarbonate plastic, these bottles hold up through repeated boiling, dishwasher and microwave use. Easy-to-read markings on the bottle ensure accurate mixing and feeding measurements. Each bottle also comes with a dome cap for spill-proof mixing and transporting. This set includes three 9-ounce Avent Reusable Bottles.

Amazon.com Review
This threesome of 9-ounce bottles is a great way to round out your Avent feeding system. Avent is known for its broad, soft, silicone nipple, which mimics the shape and feel of the breast—providing moms the flexibility to switch between bottle- and breastfeeding.

Avent’s anti-vacuum skirt and one-way air valve help reduce colic.

The naturally shaped nipple has a built-in anti-vacuum skirt and one-way air valve to ensure that liquid, rather than air, flows through the nipple and reduces baby’s chances of developing gas or colic. The bottles are a snap to assemble, can be reused, and their wide necks make them easy to clean and fill.

If you use the Avent Natural Feeding System, these 9-ounce bottles are fully interchangeable, allowing you to pump, store, and feed from the same bottle. Each bottle is made of durable, polycarbonate plastic and comes with a sealing cap to prevent leaks.

Editorial Review
This three-pack of 9-ounce bottles is a great way to round out your Avent bottle system. The Avent system is known for its broad, soft, silicone nipple, which mimics the shape and feel of the breast and reduces a baby's chances of swallowing too much air and developing gas. The wide-neck bottles make it easy to clean and fill them, and each has its own sealing cap to prevent leaks. --Andrea Linsky

From the Manufacturer
Philips Avent 9oz Bottle. The Avent Natural Feeding Bottle is recommended by many doctors. The Natural Feeding Bottle features a nipple with a unique anti-vacuum skirt and one-way air valve that has been clinically demonstrated to reduce colic. When baby sucks on the nipple, the skirt collapses inward, allowing small amounts of air into the bottle, replacing the milk at a rate the baby controls with its own suckling rhythm. Because this exchange of air into the bottle occurs throughout the feeding session, baby will get a continuous flow of milk.

Customer Reviews

Happy Avent Customer
In my opinion the Avent bottle system is superior to any other product on the market. The disposable system works great for storing and freezing milk and it's convenient for Mom's on the go. My only mistake was not buying enough bottles in the beginning when my son ate eight times a day. The bottles are designed to reduce gas, and seem to do the job. The one slight annoyance with the system, you have to place the ring on the lids directly on top of the nipples; otherwise the bottle has a tendency to leak.

F.Y.I. - I purchased the adjustable flow nipples when my son turned three months old as recommended, but nowhere in the product information does it tell you that you are supposed to line-up the Roman numerals of the nipples directly in line with your baby's nose to adjust the flow. This makes sense of course, but I had to call the 1-800 number to discover this 'little' detail.

The "BEST" bottle system around!
In my opinion, the Avent bottle system is superior to any other product on the market. These bottles are designed to reduce gas, and seem to do the job, while the wide neck allows for easy cleaning, and less mess when filling the bottles. Extremely durable, the hard plastic, and printed measurement features, on my bottles anyway, have withstood 14 months of sterilizing, dishwashing, dropping, nibbling and gnawing without any sign of cracks, splits, or chips. Moreover, the disposable system works great for storing and freezing milk, making it convenient for Moms on the go; adapts to the Avent Isis Breast Pump too. My only mistake was not buying enough bottles in the beginning when my son ate eight times a day.

As a bonus, Avent offers a spill-proof top with valve system that allows liquids through the cap only when your child is sipping, which adapts to both the 4, and 9 ounce bottles. The spill-proof top with handle, eliminates the need for sippy cups, and offers toddlers a more gradual transition to the next step.

HOWEVER, these bottles should come with an instruction video. I learned the hard way that the nipples need to be completely SNAPPED into place, otherwise, these bottles will leak. In addition, the ring on the lids MUST be placed directly above the nipples, or else, they will leak if not stored completely in an upright position. Also, I purchased the adjustable flow nipples when my son turned three-months old, as recommended, but nowhere in the manual does it convey HOW to regulate the flow. The answer - one must line the Roman numerals on the nipples up to baby's nose in order to adjust the flow. This makes sense of course, ...

Despite the "learning curve," I am a VERY happy Avent customer, and glad to have made the Avent investment. Enjoy your baby!

A Really Good Bottle
I breastfed my baby, but when I had to pump and leave her with a sitter and when she began taking formula in a bottle, these were the bottles I used.

I loved that they held 9 ounces (10 if you fill them up to the top) but were short enough for the lower shelves of the fridge. The silicone nipples are much better than the brown rubber ones. These bottles and all their accessories were very durable and easy to use. The markings didn't come off in the dishwasher, even after repeated washings. Also, Avent makes a long-spouted sippy top that fits on these bottles. Using this helped my daughter switch from bottle to cup. My only complaint is the cost. They are more expensive than other bottles. But if you're only a sometimes-bottle-user, they're a good bet.
