Avent Baby Bottles Leaking

i love these bottles, but the tighter you make it, the more they leak. Just don't tighten the cap so tight.
:)

Yes I have the same problem...Although I have noticed that if it is leaking I will pull the nipple up to make a tighter fit with the white lid and this seems to help.

I had the same problem with them. I replaced the nipples. Some continued to leak so I got rid of them.

I used Avent bottles, and noticed the same thing happening from time to time. If you sterilize/wash them, don't put the nipple in the rim if either are wet. Shake or wipe it dry a little, then assemble. Water droplets on the rim where the screw rings are will cause it to leak. Fixed it for me every time.

I'm sure everyone told you this already, but yeah, Avent bottles tend to leak. The amount you're describing seems excessive though. You do just have to make sure they are screwed on right. I used them with both of my kids, so I guess I didn't think it was that big of a deal.

I hate Avent bottles!!!! I have the same problem with them leaking. I called Avent and tried their suggestions to make them stop leaking and non of them worked. It shouldn't take a rocket scientist to screw on a nipple. I ended up buying a different brand of bottles and have not had a problem since.

You don't need to replace the nipples unless there are any obvious signs of damage....simple loosen the ring. You have to tighten them only a little bit.....there is an air system thing that allows air into the bottle so the nipple doesn't collapse and when you tighten them too tight they leak.

you are suppose to screw the tops on with the lid. if you don't it will leak. also if the nipples are older than 2 months they can leak AVENT suggests that you replace the nipples every 2 to 3 months. hope this helps

I agree, replace the nipples... but first make sure you're pulling the nipple secure into the cap when you fit it in there... that was my problem at times :)

hope this helps!!

we used Avent and eventually just changed right over to VentAir with out one problem.

I have been using Avent bottles for 10 months now. I have learned the secret to not leaking too! When you place the ring/nipple on the top of the bottle, turn it COUNTER-CLOCKWISE until it "sits", then screw on! no more leaking!

I am so glad you wrote about this! I have had the same problem!! :) Thank you

you might need to replace the nipple. if the rubber is starting to deteriorate(sp) then it won't keep a tight seal.

i had this same problem and realized that i was actually screwing the nipple part on too tight. you need to just screw it on less tight, and the leaking stopped right away for me. just take some time to wiggle them and get the feel for how tight to put them on.

J. I also used the Avent bottles and they will leak if you screw them on too snug. Sounds crazy I know, but just try twisting it on until it grips and not bearing down on it any. Maybe this will help.
