Customer Reviews:
I freeze these bottles... then warm them in boiling water but I never use medela bottles for feeding... they are horrible. They make my baby choke/spit up even with the slow flow nipple. They get tons of bubbles and the nipple will cave in if you dont take the bottle out of their mouth so it can get air. I gave 5 because nothing wrong with bottles for storage! I suggest Dr. Browns for feeding!

These bottles were delivered in 2 days with amazon prime and although they look a little different than the bottles I got with my pump they work just as good. The bottles even came with a microwave sterilizing bag too. You can't beat the price either, way cheaper than anywhere else I have seen them!

These bottles are great! I bought the colored set to help distinguish between breast milk and formula so I can better track my little one's intake. They don't leak, and don't cause nipple confusion.

Customer Reviews:
The original Avent bottles were already my favorite bottles; these new bottles are even better. While the original system was great, occasionally the nipple would deform slightly under vacuum. Not nearly as bad as other systems like the Medela bottles, but still a little deformation of the nipple would occasionally happen. This new system where the air is sucked in through the nipple prevents the nipple from collapsing even a little bit. However, with this new system you can hear the air being sucked in and the sound of the air bubbling through the milk. Another thing is that the nipple is shaped more like the real thing. The new nipple shape makes it so that the baby has to open their mouth wider and take in more of the nipple like a real breast making it easier to go back and forth from bottle and breast.
The bottles are shaped differently than the original bottles. I like the curvature of the new bottles as it sits better in the hands. However, the bottles are slightly wider than the original bottles making it a slightly snugger fit on the side of my diaper bag. They no longer fit in a mug that I normally use to warm the bottles. Another thing is that so far it seems that they only make this bottle in the 9oz size. I actually liked having the smaller sizes of the original system as at 7 months my baby doesn't drink more than 4-5 oz at any one sitting.
I tried to see what items from the old Avent system would work with the new Natural Avent bottles and this is what I have found:
- The natural screw ring and nipple attachment works with the older avent bottles. The older screw ring and nipple attachment works with the newer natural bottles. The screw rings and the nipples, however, are not interchangeable. Therefore, if you own both systems, you need to marry up the nipple to the correct rings prior to connecting to the bottles. Also, the older bottles had an adaptor ring you would need inside the bottle prior to putting the screw ring with nipple on. I don't know if you need the adaptor ring if you use the older screw ring/nipple attachment to prevent leaks, but I couldn't seem to screw down the old screw ring/nipple attachment with the adaptor ring.
- The natural Avent bottle works with the Avent Breast Pump Adapter/Connector ring. Therefore you can still pump directly into these bottles.
- The Natural Avent bottles do NOT work with the bottle to trainer sippy cup handles
- The classic bottle sealing discs to store milk work with one caveat. The sealing discs used to snap into the older system's screw rings. The discs don't snap into the new rings because the opening on the new Natural Avent bottles are larger. However, the sealing discs do still seal the new bottles if you take the sealing disc and put it on the bottle and use the screw ring just to tighten down the ring to the bottle.
Overall my feelings about this system is:
PROS:
The shape of the new bottles feel good in the hands
The nipple shape prevents the nipple from collapsing
The shape of the new nipples seems to mimic the breast more closely allowing easier time between breast and bottle
BPA Free
CONS:
If you own the old system, you will have two sets of screw rings and nipples to try to marry up
The items do not work with all existing Avent products. I like the versatility of the original bottles being able to turn into sippy cups eventually and you cannot do it with this system.

I'm a busy mom to infant triplets, and also have a 2 1/2 year old. So, with 4 kids under three years old I needed to find a bottle that was easy to clean and didn't have a lot of parts, but was still good at preventing air intake. We had some Dr. Brown's bottles from our first child, and were also sent home from the hospital with several Dr. Brown's. So, after two months of washing several pieces for each Dr. Brown bottle (2-3 bottles used at each feeding) and feeding every three hours- I just had to find something better/easier.
I received a classic style Avent bottle for my baby shower, and I liked it ok, and the babies didn't seem to mind it either. But, as other reviewers say it is prone to leaks and has a small ring that fits inside the outer ring that also needs cleaning after each use.
As I did more research I found the NATURAL bottles from AVENT. These are different from the classic and are sooo much better. There are only basic components to this bottle- the bottle, the nipple and the outer ring that's it! There are several things I love about these bottles:
-The bigger nipple has baby open mouth wider then the small skinny nipples (Dr. Brown's, playtex drop-ins), it actually improved the breastfeeding latch on all three babies.
-The nipple is designed to prevent colic and air intake. I actually noticed after the first day of use less burps and gas, which means less air in tummies and happier babies.
- The bottles are ergonomic. I have tiny hands and my husband has huge hands and we both prefer holding this bottle to any other we've tried.
This pack comes with #2 nipples which Avent says are slow flow nipples for use on 1-3 month old babies.

Customer Reviews:
I bought the original versions of these that weren't BPA free for my first child and they were great! We had no issues with going between breast and bottle because they require the same latching as on a breast. I think this also helped with gas and overfeeding since the baby controls the flow. I have recommended these to all of my pregnant friends and I just purchased the new BPA free set since I am pregnant again. Worth every penny for the comfort of my child!

We tried getting my daughter to take a bottle daily starting at 4 weeks. During a 5 week span, we tried the Adiri, Evenflow, Playtex Ventaire, Nuk, and Sassy Mam without success. The first time I tried the Breastflow, she fussed for a few minutes but then latched on and drank the whole bottle immediately. The outer nipple is much softer than all the other brand nipples and she is able to control the flow of milk. I definitely recommend trying this bottle if you are having trouble getting your breast fed baby to take a bottle.
