Can't improve on perfection., 25 July 2015

This is a lovely set of two 4oz/125ml feeding bottles from the Avent Classic+ range. They come supplied with teats – marked size 1 for newborns – and the graduation lines on the bottle are clearly numbered for precise measurement. The screw rings and teats in this range are compatible with all Classic+ bottles, so you can interchange, should you so wish. The teats have been designed with a valve to help reduce colic - and anyone who has seen a baby with this painful, distressing condition will value this innovation. I know that some people feel that buying 4oz bottles is not essential, that you can use a larger bottle just as well - and they are correct. However, I’ve always found that at this stage, you can never have too many bottles - and personally, I do prefer the satisfaction of using the smaller size for a newborn. I find that all the bottles in the Classic+ range have a lovely feel to them and fit comfortably in my hand.

This bottle is simple and...

Philips Avent Classic + Feeding Bottles, 3 Aug. 2015

Avent Classic Bottles are really, in my opinion, the best for newborns. These are 4oz and have newborn teats – but you can use larger Avent teats as your baby grows. Considering the amount they hold, these will probably be suitable for the first three months, until your baby starts increasing the amount they take in each feed.Easy to assemble and clean, I much prefer the wide neck of the Avent bottles. Unlike other makes, the teat pulls through and fits snugly, without milk dribbling or the teat ‘pulling through’ because they are too soft.With a small baby, you will spend much of your time feeding and so it is worthwhile buying bottles which are comfortable to hold and hygienic to clean, so you feel you are giving baby the best start. These are also clinically proven to reduce colic and I am really unable to think of anything negative to say about them. A good buy for newborns and parents alike.

You can't go wrong with the Philips Avent range, I'm always a big fan of them. They were simple enough with our first baby, and now that the redesign gives them fewer parts (or one fewer part), they're now ever so slightly better.

As always, the bottles are sturdy- despite being made of thin plastic, they will withstand an awful lot of dropping and abuse. They're so light that slightly older babies can begin to hold them themselves, to an extent, and the slightly tapered side helps with that too.

You can tell from the way the baby reacts that the drinking flow is good and is what they expect- they don't have to suck too hard to get the milk, but neither do they get drowned in an excessive pour. It's really difficult to get them to leak, providing you've screwed the top on with reasonable force.

Avent bottles are genuinely excellent and this pair of 125ml bottles is no exception. The Classic+ is only a minor step up from the Classic, but definitely a...
