Good bottle for transitioning from breastfeeding
When my daughter was born I was going to strictly breastfed with her but she needed some formula for when her dad would have to watch her and we had Nuk bottles I got when pregnant because the nipple resembles a actual breast but she did not take to it very well. These phillip avent bottles she latched on to no problem! It gives me a break once in awhile.

Not the best bottles
The Phillip Avent Bottle Gift Set came with 3- 4oz bottles, 2- 9oz bottles, a set of 2 soothie pacifiers, and a bottle brush. At first glance, I thought it was super cute the bottles i received were pink, which is different from the other boring, clear bottles out there. I also loved that it came with a bottle brush, making it a great starter kit for bottle feeding. Once I went to use a bottle, I did notice a few problems. No matter how tight or loose I screw the bottle top on, it leaked around the nipple (see photo). My daughter usually uses a medium flow nipple with other brands, but for these the slow flow was more than enough. The avent medium flow nipples were so fast that even just holding them to get milk into the nipple caused them to drip (see photo). LO is usually very picky with her bottles, and she did not like these at all. It didn't help that there was milk dripping all over her. The pacifiers on the other hand were a big hit. These are the only ones she will take. I love that they're made with one piece of silicone, making them soft all throughout. It also makes them super easy to clean and sanitize, unlike other brands where water can get logged in the nipple and crevices. Although I would not recommend these bottles or the gift set to any expecting parents, the soothie pacifier will always be an essential. **I received this product for free from the weeSpring Parent Panel in exchange for a honest review [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

    Great Gift Set
    This set has a bit of everything! The bottle warmer works great and isn't a total eye sore on my counter top. We loved that the cord wound almost completely underneath as well. Baby girl is not a fan of the 1 peice silicone paci but the other style was accepted happily. The giraffe snuggly is adorable and she loves to squeeze him. We tried the bottles a few times and she wasnt really a fan of the nipple. We'll keep trying before throwing in the towel, these things take time. The bottle brush is great, the angle makes me confident that the bottles are as clean as possible. I absolutely love the sterilization bags. They have made my busy life so much easier. I can pop everything in and quickly and effectively steam clean my parts! Thank you Stellar Review Panel for allowing me to test this set!

    Great for Momma-To-Be!
    I really like this all-in-one-set! My favorite part is the sterilizer bags! Kids get colds, or drop things or even when you get new things, you need to sterilize! And boiling a pot of water while juggling little ones it just a pain! These bags are GREAT! you pour in a quarter cup of water and put in your items microwave and DONE! The giraffe pacifier is great too! It is tough to figure out what kind of pacifier will work for your kiddo and this set gives you 2 really nice options! Also lovely, simple bottles that don't have crazy straws or aerators filters! And the bottle warmer is lovely, especially for warming expressed breast milk that separates it cools. I would most definitely recommend this for new moms! I received this set as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

    Great Gift Set
    I received the Philip Avent All in One Set through the Stellar Product Testing Panel. Over all, my impression of this set is pretty good! It was super easy for my baby, who is 6 months, to take this bottle. I loved giving her the smaller 4 oz bottle so she could hold it herself but the 9 oz bottles were great since she tends to eat 5-6 oz most of the time. The giraffe snuggle buddy is so soft. I love that it attaches to a pacifier, however my baby didn't use that pacifier. She used the giraffe to work on her pincer grasp (the ears and tail were perfect for that skill). She did love the other pacifier for the same reason. The bottle warmer has been nice and convenient to have! This part has been my favorite. My only complaint about this bottle warmer is the instructions are unclear. I looked 3 different times to see what the symbols meant on the warmer. Even then, the symbols were still unclear. Other than that, I have enjoyed using it daily. The 4 sealing disks are nice to have. I used it to put finger food in the bottle for my baby when we were on the go. Just be careful with them, they tend to open slightly if you push on them. Overall, I definitely recommend this set to add to your registry! It has all the essentials needed to start out and you can adapt to what you need as your baby grows!

    Must-have starter set
    I was given this bottle set to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. It is a really great starter set, whether you feed your baby formula or breastmilk. It comes with four bottles in two different sizes and four nipples in two different sizes. The bottles are a good size and shape, and I think will be easy for my LO to hold on his own when he gets to that point. The nipples are a good fit for my baby, and he has no issues with gas or reflux afterwards. The caps that come with the set make them nice storage bottles, and I imagine I'll use them and the little bottles for the solid baby food later. This also comes with a brush to use to wash everything and 5 sterilization bags that can be used 20 times each. There are two pacifiers and a plush giraffe attachment included. My son currently prefers the Soothie over the more traditional pacifier, and he loves holding onto and chewing on the giraffe. The plush comes off easily, which makes cleaning items separately a simple task. I thought that fact would also mean he would constantly pull it off, but he hasn't yet. Lastly, and the most pleasant surprise is the bottle warmer. I never used one with my first child, thinking they were a waste of valuable counter space and that it was just as easy to thaw/warm milk other ways. This warmer is small enough to go in a cabinet when not in use and makes preparing bottles effortless. It's very easy to use, and the slow warming setting is so convenient. When my baby starts to stir from his nap, I drop the bottle in the warmer and takes about 15 to 20 minutes to get to the perfect temperature. If I don't have that much time, the other settings take 3-5 minutes depending on starting temp and volume. Overall, I highly recommend this set! It has everything you need to nourish your baby and keeps it straightforward and practical.

    Great gift set!
    First let me start by saying I think this Philips Avent all-in-one gift set is a great item for a registry or as a purchase for an upcoming arrival. My son easily latched on to the nipples and the bottles are great for anti-colic without a lot of extra pieces to deal with. We absolutely LOVE the ultra soft pacifier that was included. It was our favorite piece of this set to be honest. I also love that We can attach that pacifier to the snuggle giraffe instead of the soothie that comes with it. There are 4 bottles and 4 nipples total. 2-4 ounce bottles and 2-9 ounce bottle and two different nipple flows. It has everything you need for the first few months with your little one. The bottle brush is unfortunately not my favorite, but does get the job done. It's quite long and has very firm bristles. Last but certainly not least, the bottle warmer. It is beautiful and won't stick out while sitting on your counter. It has various settings for defrosting milk, heating up small or large bottles, and even a baby food warming setting. I really like that I can turn this warmer off when done and not have it running strictly on a timer! This is an easy and thoughtful gift for parents! Thanks to Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this bottle set.

    Perfect all-inclusive bottle-feeding shower gift!
    I had the pleasure of receiving the Phillips Avent Natural All-in-One bottle gift set through the Stellar Product Testing Panel. I would highly recommend this set as a shower gift especially to a mom who plans to pump. Excluding the pump & pump accessories, the beauty of this product is that you don't have to think about what you need to get started bottle-feeding...it's all here! My favorite features of this set are the electric bottle warmer and sterilizing bags. The bottle warmer is easy to use (once you figure out what the symbols on the dial mean) and it warms as it should. However, the manual has an error in the "Express warming reference table," where the time needed to warm milk in small amounts (up to 5 ounces) is wrong. The time needed to warm greater amounts of milk should increase, not decrease. So, it should read 3.5 min. for 2-3 oz, 4.5 min. for 3-3.7 oz, and 5.5 min. for 4-5 oz...not the other way around! See the picture I included. The microwaveable sterilizing bags are super easy, effective, and can be used up to 20x each bag. Fabulous product. Beats boiling water to sterilize everything! One final feature I should mention is the package of sealing discs that come with the set--these are useful not only as lids for storing breast milk in the bottles, but also for using the bottles as baby-food storage containers. AND, baby food can also be warmed up in the warmer! Great feature. Highly recommend this set, especially as a gift for the new mom!

    Great bottle kit!
    The Philips Avent All in One Set is wonderful and perfect for anyone with a little one! This set includes many things to get the feeding job done. For starters, there are two different size bottles- two 4 oz. bottles and two 9 oz. bottles, perfect range for light and heavy feeders! The design of the bottles and the level one slow flow nipples are so easy to clean (especially with the included bottle brush), as well as easy to hold while feeding. The warmer that is included makes it nice and simple to put the bottle in there with the selected amount of water to warm up the bottle, allowing you to go do something in the time frame that it's warming. Additionally, this set also includes a couple different pacifiers, both of which my little one loves. The Avent Soothie pacifier is a favorite in our house! And what's an added bonus with it is the detachable snuggle buddy (my husband's favorite part!)! The detachable snuggle buddy is nice because not only does it make for easy cleaning, but it also can be attached to other pacifiers with the Velcro attachment. The other button pacifier is nice as well, offering my little a couple different ways and varieties to soothe himself. Lastly, the storage discs and the steamer bags were also nice to have in the kit. The storage cans in handy when my little one was finished but there was still BM left that could be used later, while the steamer bags have been nice to clean sterilize the bottles and the pacifiers. The Stellar Product Testing Panel made it possible for me to test this great product. From the pacifiers to the bottle warmer and steamer bags, all play a part in the all around feeding and satisfying of a little one. Each were and still are being used to their fullest potential.

    Great bottle starter set for baby registry
    Since I work outside the home, my baby's mostly bottle-fed, but I breastfeed whenever I can. I received the Philips Avent gift set ​when my baby was two months old, so old enough to avoid nipple confusion and young enough to avoid refusing the bottle. My baby's also a little gassy, so I more than welcome anti-colic bottles. Overall, the set is a great option for parents looking for high quality pacifiers and glass bottles to avoid any harmful chemicals in plastic. The bottles are very comfortable to hold, have a good weight to them, and don't easily slip out of your hand. It's nice a protective sleeve is included, but it fits the four-ounce bottle awkwardly. I actually almost dropped the bottle trying to wiggle it into the sleeve. In any case, I do like that the bottles don't have many parts and are easy to clean. Likewise, the pacifiers are made of a single piece of silicone, which is easy to clean and dries quickly. However, I can't speak to the bottles' anti-colic claims since my little one didn't take to the nipples. It looked like he was enjoying his meal until I saw he consumed only a few drops of milk from the bottle after several minutes. Even though the Avent bottles have wide necks for easy cleaning, I wish they had standard-sized necks. Then, I could directly pump breastmilk into them and use them with my little one's favorite bottle nipples, which happen to fit standard bottles. Additionally, the pacifiers calmed my baby to sleep just fine, but they don't stay in his mouth long without my help. Even though my baby doesn't use these bottles, I highly recommend the set to parents who choose to exclusively bottle-feed or to parents who are deciding on what bottles to give their babies. They should no doubt be added to expectant parents' registries, and I would give the set as a baby shower gift. Thanks to weeSpring Parent Panel for sending me this Avent starter set to try and review.

    The best gift set they'll actually use
    I received this gift set through the weeSpring Parent Panel to try. I was very excited to see the number of bottles included since there is always a constant need to do dishes to have enough clean bottles. We've had no problems with our baby taking to the nipples. The bottles have proven to be mostly leak-free for us, no worries of precious milk spilling out of a part that wasn't screwed on tight enough. The domed lid can be difficult to open with one hand, so we've mastered how to open these when we are in a hurry to get in a feeding. The bottle brush is the perfect shape for getting into the curves of these bottles. The shape means I don't get sprayed with water when I'm pulling it back out of the bottle when cleaning, unlike other brush shapes. I had not seen the sealing discs prior and they've been amazing in using with a pre-made bottle while running errands, or sealing a bottle that's not yet finished. The soother was our saver from screams early on with our little one. She took to them straight from the hospital up until she was almost 3-months old. We kept one in every room of the house as well as each diaper bag. Now I use them in an ice cube tray with breast milk to make small popsicles while she's teething. This set is a great value and definitely worth having on your registry or buying as a gift. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

    Great gift for baby showers and expecting moms!
    This set is great for expecting moms and the perfect shower gift! The set contains all the basics and more. Philips Avent Natural newborn starter gift set includes: (3)4oz. and (2)9oz. wide-neck bottles, 2 soothie pacifiers, and 1 bottle brush. Also included was an extra gift of two soothie pacifiers with the cutest teddy bear shape. Thanks to the WeeSpring Parent Panel for providing me with this gift set. This set to me includes everything to start your feeding journey and I still used these items for my 4 month old. The bottle shape with the wide neck and thick BPA free material nipple were a great hit, did not leak, had an anti-colic vent that seemed to reduce gas, and are truly a great starter bottle to try out. The bottle brush is my absolute favorite out of 5 that I have tried and will be my go to from now on as it does not feel cheap and has good firm bristles and gets every little crevice. My bottles finally feel clean enough! The teddy pacifiers were not a big hit for my 4 month old but he has latch issues and is very picky, but they were adorable!

    Love these pacifiers!
    I was given this gift set to try as part of the weeSpring Parent Panel. Let me just say, soothie pacifiers are the best! I'm dreading the day when we have to give them up :( My little man has loved them since day one (he's four months old now). This set includes the 0-3 month style as well as the 3+ month style. The main difference is the thickness in the material, so as they get teeth, they don't destroy the pacifier! (And the 3+ month ones are shaped like bears which is super cute.) My little guy isn't quite at that point yet, so we're still using the 0-3 month ones, and they're perfect. I did try the heftier ones but he still prefers the thinner ones. As for the bottles, he didn't latch onto these as well as he does his other bottles - maybe because the other bottles seem to be wider? I did like the bottle size variety, though! I only have five-ounce bottles and he pretty much plows through those and sometimes needs a refill! (He is EBF, but has bottles when I'm at work. Hungry boy loves to eat!) The bottle brush was just okay for me - the shape is nice and ergonomic, but there's only bristles on one side instead of all around, which I didn't love. The nipple-cleaning end is also weird - it's just ridges of plastic instead of a tiny brush, which is what I'm used to. Maybe it has another purpose, but for me, it didn't work very well. Despite that, this is still a great set! It's a wonderful idea for a registry item or shower gift since it's an all-in-one package and again, those soothie pacifiers are the bomb.

    Not the best bottles
    The Phillip Avent Bottle Gift Set came with 3- 4oz bottles, 2- 9oz bottles, a set of 2 soothie pacifiers, and a bottle brush. At first glance, I thought it was super cute the bottles i received were pink, which is different from the other boring, clear bottles out there. I also loved that it came with a bottle brush, making it a great starter kit for bottle feeding. Once I went to use a bottle, I did notice a few problems. No matter how tight or loose I screw the bottle top on, it leaked around the nipple (see photo). My daughter usually uses a medium flow nipple with other brands, but for these the slow flow was more than enough. The avent medium flow nipples were so fast that even just holding them to get milk into the nipple caused them to drip (see photo). LO is usually very picky with her bottles, and she did not like these at all. It didn't help that there was milk dripping all over her. The pacifiers on the other hand were a big hit. These are the only ones she will take. I love that they're made with one piece of silicone, making them soft all throughout. It also makes them super easy to clean and sanitize, unlike other brands where water can get logged in the nipple and crevices. Although I would not recommend these bottles or the gift set to any expecting parents, the soothie pacifier will always be an essential. **I received this product for free from the weeSpring Parent Panel in exchange for a honest review [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

    Great gift set
    I recently returned to work, leaving my husband and my four-month old home alone to fend for themselves (just kidding, i left them VERY prepared). I was very nervous about the transition from exclusively breast fed to using a bottle as well. Luckily, I received the Philips Avent Gift Set from the weeSpring parent panel to try in exchange for my honest review! - This is definitely an awesome starter set, that includes 5 bottles, 2 Soothie pacifiers, and a bottle brush. I think this is a great starter set that has a great number of items. I know that registering as a first time parent can be VERY overwhelming and this gift set would definitely help ease that stress and would be a perfect addition to any baby registry. I will definitely add this set to my list of go-to gifts to get for the new parents in my life. The only downside to this gift set as opposed to others I have seen on the market is that it doesn't include any accessories (ie. drying rack, sterilizing bags, warmer, formula mixer, etc). I think adding just one or two other accessories would really put this gift set over the top! - Personally, my son (and I) love the soothie pacifiers. We have been using them since he was 2 weeks old, and they have been lifesavers. I love their unique design, which allows me to stimulate his suck reflex with my finger, allowing for quicker soothing when he is very upset. -The bottles provided a slight challenge for us at first, but after a few attempts my son took them with ease. The flow is just right and he seems to really like them even if my husband has to be a little creative during feedings (sometimes he has to hold the bottle up to his chest for my son to take it). This seems to have more to do with a personal preference of my son rather than a problem with the bottles themselves. He has not had any more gas or spit up than normal (as compared to breastfeeding), which has been awesome for all of us. Finally, while I'm all for breaking gender stereotypes, I'm not sure why the makers decided to make this set pink. It may just be my preference, but even if I had a daughter I would prefer more neutral colored bottles. Thanks again to the weeSpring Parent Panel for providing me and my son with this gift set!

    Perfect for Spectra Pumps!
    I have a Spectra pump and my baby does not like the bottles that came with it. I also find that they leak easily. The Avent bottles easily attach to the flanges, no extra attachments needed! My 4-month-old has no issues taking the bottle (after I warmed up the milk AND nipple), the milk flow is perfect for her, and it made pumping and bottle feeding much more convenient as I don't have to transfer my milk to another bottle. My only complaint is I personally have problems getting the lids off the bottles. My husband has no issues. Maybe as I use them it will get easier. The bottle brush works great for cleaning the bottles. At first I was unsure as the brush only goes halfway around, but it makes it easier to get in and out of bottles. My daughter hates pacifiers, but she did keep this one in her mouth for longer than most but still was not too fond of it. I received the product from the weeSpring Parent Panel.
