Philips Avent Natural BPA Free Bottle

Buy Philips Avent Nat­ural Feed­ing Bot­tle (BPA Free)
From £6.12 for 125 ml (4 fl oz)Avent BPA Free Bottle Sticker

Philips Avent have launced a BPA Free plas­tic bot­tle. The anti-colic fea­ture is in built into the teat. There are only three parts for the Avent bot­tle mak­ing it quick to assem­ble and clean. The bot­tles have a wide neck and a sil­i­cone vari-flow teat. Easy to use bot­tle. Shame about the leaking.

Qual­ity

Philips Avent BPA free bot­tles are made from Poly­ether Sul­phone (PES). PES is plas­tic is honey coloured and durable. PES is ideal for the con­struc­tion of baby bot­tles because it can be safely and eas­ily ster­ilised. Note that although PES is BPA-Free it is in the num­ber 7 recy­cling cat­e­gory because it did not fit well into other cat­e­gories.
Rat­ing: ★★★★☆

Ease of Use

With only three parts the bot­tles are easy to put together when you have a fret­ful baby watch­ing your every move. Every time I used the bot­tle it leaked. Fed up of drip­ping milk every­where I’ve marked the bot­tle down specif­i­cally because they are so messy.
Rat­ing: ★★☆☆☆

Clean­ing

Easy to clean and fit in ster­iliser with room to spare.
Rat­ing: ★★★★★

Over­all Rat­ing: ★★★½☆

Key Ben­e­fit: Less parts to assem­ble and clean.

Dis­ap­point­ing Fea­ture: Leaky bot­tle prob­lems mean soak­ing wet baby.

The Mind­ful Mum list of baby feed­ing bot­tles high­lights BPA free bot­tles avail­able in the UK.

Man­u­fac­turer Information:

Avent was founded in 1984 with the aim to cre­ate a new type of baby bot­tle. In 2006 Philips joined with AVENT and the com­pany became Philips AVENT. 90% of Avent prod­ucts are made in Suf­folk, UK. Philips Avent uses poly­car­bon­ate in some of its bot­tles so check that you are select­ing the PES BPA Free ver­sion of the bot­tles. See below for bot­tle range and plas­tic mate­ri­als used.
