Not the Best Fit for My Baby
I received the Philips Avent Anti-colic Baby Bottle with AirFree Vent Newborn Gift set through the Stellar Product Testing Panel. Overall, I thought the set came with a nice selection of bottles and nipples to get started, and I appreciated that it included everything you’d need right from the beginning. The design feels sturdy, the bottles are easy to assemble and take apart, and they were straightforward to clean, which is always a big plus for busy parents. That said, this set wasn’t the best fit for my baby. The nipples were narrow with a wide base, which made it hard for my baby to get a good grip or consistent latch. Another issue was with the AirFree vent: milk often collected in the bottom section, and because there are only two small holes for it to flow through, the last few drops would get stuck. To get the milk out, I had to rotate the bottle, which ended up disturbing my baby during feedings. In terms of reducing colic or gas, I didn’t notice a big difference compared to other bottles we’ve used. My older kids had no trouble drinking from these bottles, so I do think they may work better for older babies or toddlers who already have a stronger, more established feeding rhythm. What I liked most about the set was how easy it was to clean and how durable the bottles felt. I just wish the nipple shape and vent system worked better for younger babies, especially for mine who struggled with latch and flow.

Great Starter Set for Feeding Baby
I was given the chance to try out this gift set by the Stellar Product Testing Panel. This set has a great assortment of items to get you started on your bottle feeding journey with your baby. Here’s my impression of each of the included items: Bottles: you get two 4 oz and two 9 oz. The bottles have very clear markings in dark blue for the measurements so you can be sure you are putting in the correct amount of water when mixing formula. There’s also marks for the halfway points between each set of numbers so you can be very precise when measuring. They are easy to assemble and clean, and there aren’t too many pieces to clean when disassembling these bottles. My baby had no issues feeding from these bottles, both with and without the included anti colic vent. Since he doesn’t have colic, and I couldn’t see any difference in using them vs not, I have opted to use the bottles without those vents. However, the bottles for both sizes are very wide which can make it difficult to squeeze in those insulated bottle pouch areas in diaper bags. I have silicone label bands that I got to put on my son’s bottles for daycare and it is a struggle to get them on since they are wider than typical baby bottles. Nipples: there are a total of 6 included. Two size 1 on the 4 oz bottles, three size 2 (2 on the 9oz bottles and one in a baggie) and one size 3 in a baggie. These nipples snap on and off quickly and easily and it’s easy to identify which level you have since the number is written on them several times around the base. Bottle brush: There is a hole so you could hang it if you wanted, but I would rather it had a base so it could stand up when not in use. The bottom part is not the best at cleaning the inside of the nipples- bristles would definitely help. Soothie pacifier: my son refuses to use all pacifiers , so unfortunately I can’t really provide an opinion on this. Overall, this set is a nice choice to either gift to a new mom or utilize for personal use. I think it does provide a good value for what’s included since you are pretty much covered for the first couple months of feedings and I would recommend it to others even with the minor annoyances I mentioned earlier.

Phillips Anti Colic Bottle
I received the Phillip Avent Anti- Colic product as part of hte stellar prduct testing panel. My overall impression of the Philips Avent Anti-Colic bottle set was disappointing. While the package seemed to promise a comprehensive solution for feeding and soothing, it felt like it fell short of my expectations. The set included the basic components you would expect—bottles, nipples, and caps—but it didn't feel like a complete solution for a new parent. I found myself needing to purchase additional items to address issues that the set was supposed to solve. Unfortunately, the anti-colic features of these bottles did not seem to make a significant difference for my baby. We were struggling with gas and fussiness after feedings, and I was hopeful that the special valve system would alleviate the issue. However, I didn't notice any real improvement in her symptoms. The bottles still seemed to allow a good amount of air to be ingested, leading to continued discomfort for my little one. Cleaning and assembling the bottles proved to be more of a hassle than I anticipated. The anti-colic valve, while intended to be a feature, was a bit of a challenge to get into place correctly. It also has small crevices that were difficult to clean thoroughly with a standard bottle brush, and I was constantly worried about milk residue getting trapped. The overall design felt bulky, and the quality, while not terrible, didn't impress me given the brand's reputation. The one thing I did like about the set was the clear measurement markings on the side of the bottles. They were easy to read, which made it simple to mix formula and keep track of my baby's intake. While this is a small detail, it was the most reliable and functional aspect of the product for me, providing at least one bit of convenience in an otherwise frustrating experience.

My go to bottle
The Philips Avent Anti-Colic Bottle Newborn Gift Set is an excellent all-in-one starter kit. It includes multiple bottle sizes, slow-flow nipples, a pacifier, and a cleaning brush — everything you need right out of the box. The anti-colic valve really helps reduce gas and spit-ups, making feedings smoother and more comfortable for baby. All of the parts are designed with busy parents in mind. The bottles have wide necks and simple components, so disassembling, cleaning, and reassembling them is quick and straightforward. Even the brush included in the set is sturdy and perfectly sized for the bottles and nipples. Overall, this is a durable, thoughtfully designed set that saves time and hassle while delivering on its promise to reduce colic symptoms. A great buy for new parents or as a practical baby shower gift. I received this product as a part of the Stella Product Testing panel but I will be buying more!

Gas Relief
I got these Philips Avent anti colic bottles from Stellar Product Testing Panel in exchange for my honest review and they are great! They do truly help with my baby’s gas after feedings. I notice less bubbles in the bottle as the air is diverting through the valve component. I gave 4 stars because the valve sometimes folds a little and you have to adjust it, but other than that it’s worth the 1 extra bottle part for the benefit my baby receives in reducing fussiness and gas!

Philips Gift Set
The gift set is a great way to get set up with the Philips Avent Anti-Colic bottles. We are close to moving from the 4oz bottles so it was nice to have the 9oz on hand as he does take a bigger bottle in the morning and evening. My baby did latch on to these really well. He likes a more narrow nipple and flow 2 rate nipples worked best since he is 3 months old. In the set you get some additional nipples so it was nice to be able to use the faster nipple on the smaller bottles. We haven't moved up to the flow rate 3 nipples yet. The milk does stay in the nipple of the bottle and the antic-colic seems to be effective. Only downside, is some times they would leak if you turned the bottle the incorrect way where the vent was not facing up. Sometimes that is hard to avoid when wrangling a 3 month old. But, the directions are clear about how to connect all of the pieces. The set included a paci and bottle brush which are always nice to have. Thanks to Stellar Product Testing for providing me with this set to try.

Anti colic works
I received these bottles as part of the Stellar Testing Panel. My baby is particularly burpy and gassy so we've had her using anti-colic bottles since she was just a few weeks old. These bottles definitely helped her remain less gassy and burpy. They're easy to clean and the anti-colic insert is just 1 piece, which is nice. The set I received came with 2 4-oz bottles and 2 8-oz bottles; my kiddo is still really little so the 4 oz bottles are the ones we used the most. It also came with more nipples for faster flow and a pacifier. Value wise, this set seems like a good deal. The nipples are larger than ones she usually takes and that took a bit of getting used to. Babies who are breastfed might have an easier time with these sizes. The bottles are tapered in the middle making them easier to hold; I have small hands so the size was a bit challenging for me esp since it took her a lot longer to drink from these bottles due to the nipple size. We'll probably stick to our current bottles for now, but once she get bigger and can hold her own bottle, we'll integrate this into her rotation and see how she does.

This is an awesome set of Phillips Avent Bottles
I was lucky enough to receive this product through the Stellar Product Testing Panel. The set itself is 100% complete for the newborn stage! It comes with different size nipples from 0 months all the way up to 3 months as it is the newborn gift set. My son had no problem switching to this bottle from another brand that we were using and even seems to like it better! I love that is has the air free vent and you can use it with or without. Im definitely continuing to use them though as it really has helped with his gas and fussiness during feeds. It even came with the same Phillips Avent binky that the hospital provided to both of my babies when they were born and the most recent, my son usually doesn't like another brand of binkys so that was an awesome plus. The quality is truly unmatched and like i said its actually the brand our local hospitals use so that really speaks volumes!
