Better than most competitors' equivalents, 2 Oct. 2009

I bought these bottles to replace my Philips Avent ones as I was fed up with the Avent ones leaking. I also previously used Boots Essentials bottles except the measurements didn't seem to quite match up (the ml didn't match with the fl oz for either UK or US fl oz, so I didn't actually know whether it was the ml that were out or the fl oz)!

These bottles are very comfortable to hold, and the teats seem to result in my baby having much less wind when compared with the Avent and Boots teats.

The tops fix easily and securely and as a result there are no leaks whatsoever, and the caps also fit nice and securely and I like their shape which makes them a bit easier to remove, especially if you're trying to do so one-handed!

The measurements on the bottles can be hard to see, although if the bottles are being prepared in good light this hasn't proven to be a problem and you quickly become aware of the measurements enabling you to do most of it by eye as it...

Great value for excellent bottles, 1 Nov. 2015

You cannot find these bottles at a better price anywhere else. You get six generously sized 260ml / 9 oz feeding bottles with the slow flow (Stage 1) teat.

I am a huge fan of Tommee Tippee products in general for my boys and these have aided immensely when weaning both my sons. I haven't had problems of them rejecting these bottles even though the boys were exclusively breastfed for the first six months of their lives. It helps that I started giving them the occasional bottle of pumped milk starting from 2 months so they would get used to having a bottle option. For this, the provided 'slow flow' Stage1 teats were just right. However, from 3 months onwards, the boys moved to the Stage 2 teats, and then they switched to Stage 3 teats from 6 months. This means that there are quite a few bottles I have ordered with 'wasted' Level 1 teats that will remain unused.

This is the reason I am giving just 4 stars instead of 5. The bottles are fantastic, but I wish they gave the...

overall not bad but probably would try different make next baby, 27 Feb. 2011

I hesitate at 4 stars for this product but 3 stars seems a bit mean - so I shall say I give them 3 and a half stars!

I don't hate these bottles, they are not terrible but there are a few niggles I have with them which makes using them less than wonderful.

I decided to purchase them as I liked the appearance! Plus I had read quite good reviews when I was pregnant, since owning them I have read nothing but bad! Thought Tommee Tippee brand was on par with Phillips Avent but it seems Avent are more superior?

I am combination feeding, so they are not heavily used, if I was only formula feeding I would perhaps be more critical.

I'll start with the bad points I have with them;

1) when shaking up formula they leak - especially when release the lid to let the air out and tighten it again - sprays milk all over the place when give it a second shake. This doesn't happen all the time, I can't work out why sometimes they leak more than other times
