Description
This set is a perfect start to feeding and soothing a newborn. It includes the Philips Avent Anti-colic with AirFree vent bottles, which are designed to reduce feeding issues: such as colic, gas, and reflux. The unique AirFree vent is designed to draw air away from the nipple keeping it full of milk to avoid air ingestion. This vent also keeps the nipple full of milk even when the bottle is held horizontal, allowing for upright feeding. Feeding in an upright position can help to reduce reflux and aid in digestion. The nipple shape is designed for a secure latch for a comfortable feed. The bottle is easy to clean and assemble with few parts. The AirFree vent is only one piece and is easy to clean without any special tools. The Anti-colic bottle features a valve, integrated into the nipple, that reduces vacuum buildup and reducing air into your baby’s tummy. To keep your bottles clean, the bottle brush features a curved brush head for easy cleaning of rounded bottle edges and a molded tip to clean the nipple. The Anti-colic bottle can be used with or without the AirFree vent, giving you the option based on your baby’s feeding needs. The soft silicone nipple is available in different flow rates for babies of all ages, flows 1-4. We recommend using the Philips Avent Anti-colic baby bottle with Philips Avent Anti-colic bottle nipples. Sealing discs convert the bottle into a storage container. Soothie is used by medical professionals to calm newborns. The highly durable Soothie Pacifiers feature hospital grade silicone and one-piece construction. This set includes 2 4oz Anti-colic bottles with AirFree vent with flow 1 nipples, 2 9oz Anti-colic bottles with AirFree vent with flow 2 nipples, 2 Anti-colic nipples flow 2, 3 Anti-colic nipples flow 3, 2 Soothie pacifiers 0-3 month, 1 bottle brush, and 5 sealing discs.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 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!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 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 review was collected as part of a promotion.] These bottles have been a total game changer for us! The nipples feel so natural, and my baby latched right away without any fuss. They’re super easy to attach, never leak, and cleaning them is a breeze (a lifesaver during late-night feeds!). The one flow is just right for my newborn, and I’ve noticed way less gas and spit-up—feeding time has become so much smoother and more enjoyable. Highly recommend!!! I received these as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This set is easy to use, baby and parent friendly, and genuinely helpful for reducing gas and fussiness. What I liked most is the removable anti colic valve that is just 1 simple piece instead of 2-3 that you have to take apart to clean. It actually works to keep air in the bottle instead of in your baby’s belly, which makes a big difference in reducing crying fits. The nipples fit securely onto Avent bottles and even some off brands. They’re simple to attach, lightweight, and easy to clean without any complicated parts, which is a lifesaver when you’re exhausted. I love how this set has two different sized bottles, a green paci, and a bottle cleaner included as well! I received this for free from stellar product testing panel for free in exchange for my honest review.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was given this bottle set to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. We have really liked these bottles! I have a 3 month old and she has not had many tummy troubles, so I can’t vouch much for if the bottles help with colic. However, the size 1 nipple is a good flow rate for my baby. The bottles feel sturdy and they have less pieces to clean than other brands. All the pieces are easy to clean without too many nooks and crannies. The set also came with a soothie pacifier. Overall we like these pacifiers, but they are very heavy and my baby has a hard time keeping them in. They will be great for when she is older! The bottle brush it came with mostly does the job. I like that the bristles are soft and can reach into hard places. The only thing I would change is the shape so that it can reach more simultaneously. The set itself was very helpful and would definitely make a great gift for new parents!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Philips Avent Anti-colic Newborn Gift Set has some great pieces but ultimately misses the mark. We tried the newborn gift set which came with 2 4-ounce bottles, 2 9-ounce bottles, Level 2 and 3 Philips Avent nipples, a bottle brush and a soothie pacifier. The bottles were well-made, sturdy, and easy to put together, but did not work well for my loved one. First, the size of the bottles and the included nipples were impractical for a newborn. The set would’ve been more useful if it had come with 2-ounce bottles instead of the 8-ounce bottles, as well as a slower flow nipple. Second, the bottles were very top-heavy. This made the bottle awkward to hold and caused it to tip over occasionally. Third, the width of the bottle didn’t work for us as my loved one likes to “hold" the bottle and couldn’t do so. We tried the bottles both with and without the AirFree vent and didn't notice a difference. The other parts of the gift set were great to have. The bottle brush works perfectly with the Phillips bottles and gets the milk sediment off. That one is definitely a keeper. And my favorite part of the entire entire set was the included pacifier. My loved one absolutely adores it and takes it everywhere. It fits securely without constantly falling out and soothes my loved one within seconds. Overall, this gift set would work better for older babies. I was given this gift set to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This gift set is a perfect bottle starter pack! It has four bottles total with two different bottle sizes (4 oz and 9 oz), two faster flow nipples, a bottle brush, and a paci. The bottles each have an AirFree vent (anti colic valve). I’ve tried a few anti colic bottles for my gassy/colicky baby and the Philips Avent anti colic bottle is my favorite so far. It does seem like my baby has less gas after feeding so I’m hoping this continues to hold up. It’s helpful to know that I can remove the anti colic piece if my baby ends up out growing it, and I have the larger 9 oz bottle when she begins to need more than 4 oz. The bottles are high quality and have done really well after several washes. The kit includes a bottle brush which is helpful and it’s a relief that the anti colic valve is only one extra piece to clean (rather than 2-3). The ease of cleaning is my favorite part of the bottles but the high quality look/feel is a close second. If I had to change one thing, it would be to have a couple of extra 1m+ and 3m+ nipples in the kit but those can always be purchased separately. Overall, this kit is a great gift set/starter set and I would recommend it to new parents and any parents looking to try a new bottle out. It includes everything you need and the paci is a bonus! Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this bottle set.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We breastfeed, however there are times when I need her to take a bottle. She wouldn’t take other brands, no matter how hungry she was. We were given the product from the Stellar product testing panel and it was just the thing we needed. I think because her paci is from the same company ( avent) she adapted much more quickly! The set would have been an awesome shower gift because it included a paci(you can never have too many of these), a 4 oz and a 9 oz bottle. We used another colic product on our first 2 but this works better for our family for surprising reasons: 1.) the bottle Is wider which allows my mother to grip it better with arthritis. 2.) the wider bottle also makes it easier to heat up because it’s not as tall as our previous bottle set. 3.) there is only 1 piece to put in to prevent gas build up and it’s not hard to figure out ( vs our other product where even though I laid it out dad still couldn’t figure out how to assemble it and was frustrated by feeding. With the Phillips anti colic system he’s not nervous because you just slip the ring down the bottle. 4.) it’s easier to wash because it has less pieces for the colic system. 5.) the set comes with a cleaner which is preferred to other systems that don’t. I would say this set is preferred because of the benefits it offers the users like grandparents and dads, which for a breast feeder like me, they are the ones using it and it’s their preferred set.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Having a newborn often comes with feeding challenges like colic, reflux, and gas—unfortunately, my baby struggles with all three. I was so grateful to receive the Philips Avent Anti-colic Baby Bottle with AirFree Vent Newborn Gift Set from the Stellar Product Testing Panel, and it has made a big difference for us. Since using these bottles, my baby has been much less fussy during feedings and has had noticeably less gas. The gift set is thoughtfully put together and includes everything you need to start your feeding journey. The bottle shape is well-suited for newborns, and the AirFree vent system works exactly as promised—allowing air to escape the bottle instead of ending up in your baby’s tummy. Cleaning is also a breeze since all the parts come apart easily, making it simple to fully sanitize each piece. I also love that the set includes multiple bottles for rotation as well as a pacifier, which has been a great bonus for us. Overall, this set has helped my baby eat more comfortably and happily, and it would make a wonderful gift for any new parent or an excellent purchase to start feeding with confidence.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this bottle set from the Stellar Product Testing Panel. Prior to receiving these bottles we were using a competitor brand for our little guy who is 2 months old. So glad to have had the opportunity to try these out because they are a game changer when it comes to decreasing gas pain and hiccups for him. We were honestly able to notice a difference right away. This set makes a wonderful gift for parents as it comes with different bottle and nipples sizes as well as pacifiers that grow with newborns. The bottle cleaner is a nice bonus.!We love that the bottles are easy to assemble, take apart, and clean. Super important because like many parents, we are often short on time!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Philips Avent Anti-Colic Baby Bottle With AirFree Vent Newborn Gift Set was a really nice starter set. My baby is 9 months old and primarily breastfed, and he was able to use the Level 1 nipples without any issues. The faster flow nipples were too quick for him since he is used to breastfeeding, but I think they would work well as babies get older or for babies who are bottle-fed more often. The bottles themselves were easy to clean and assemble, and I liked that they fit securely with no leaking. The included bottle brush fit well inside the bottles and made cleaning simple, and I loved that it’s a bristle brush rather than a sponge since it feels sturdier and more durable. The pacifier was a bit too small for my 9-month-old, but it would be a great option for a newborn. Overall, I was impressed with the quality and thoughtful design of this set. I would recommend it for parents looking for bottles that reduce gas and colic while being easy to use and clean. I received this kit from the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the bottles through the Stellar Product Testing Panel, overall I was really impressed with the Philips Avent Anti-colic bottle. Assembly is super easy, as far as the anti-colic vent, it’s just one piece that pops in the bottle leaving it super easy to clean. Before this bottle, I swore by the Dr. Browns bottles but the multiple pieces to clean and all the nooks and crannies were a nightmare. The milk stays in the nipple while horizontal which was so helpful because she took in minimal air and she was a lot less fussy after feedings. While I LOVED this feature you have to keep the bottle in a fixed position with the vent at the top of the bottle or it will work. This is why I rated it at 4/5. My baby is 11mo she feeds herself most of the time and even when we feed her, she’s very squirmy/distracted so it easy for the bottle to rotate during a feeding. Overall, very grateful I received these bottles from Stellar Panel as these are now my go-to bottle for feeding, the cleaning alone is an absolute game changer! Would highly recommend especially if you have a baby who suffers from gas & reflux like mine.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the Philips Avent Anti-colic Newborn gift set from Stellar Product Testing Panel. Overall, it works well for my baby's gas and we do enjoy the product. Pros: My 7 month old had no issues taking to this bottle. The air free vent seems to work well as she doesn't seem to have as much gas compared to normal. I like the air free vent and nipple shape and sizes (my daughter preferred the size 2 flow rate). It is much easier to clean and place inside my bottle washers and sterilizers. Cons: If you forget to position the air free vent on the top during feeding, it will most definitely leak. Bad for my mom brain and midnight feedings. In terms of bottle shape and material, I wish the bottle was more narrow and made of glass instead. I probably wouldn't make this my only bottle to use since I would forget to position the air vent upwards a lot. But I do enjoy using it for daytime feeds since it does reduce the gas for my baby.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this set from the Stellar Product Testing Panel. The bottles were okay, but honestly a bit of a hassle. I liked that the set came with everything I needed right from the star and even included a pacifier and bottle cleaning brush. I did notice my two-month-old seemed less gassy and more comfortable after feeds. That part definitely gave me some peace of mind. The tricky part was using them day-to-day. The nipple flow felt a little too fast for a younger baby, and I had to hold the bottle a very specific way to keep the vent working properly—otherwise it would leak. Cleaning is also tedious with more pieces to take apart and put back together. It’s not terrible, but it’s not the most convenient either. Overall, they do help with gassiness, and they feel sturdy, but you have to work around the quirks. Pros: helped with gas, sturdy, complete set Cons: fast flow, occasional leaks, need to hold at the right angle, lots of cleaning/assembly

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received these bottles through the Stellar Product Testing Panel. Pros: My baby took to these bottles very well! I love how simple and effective the anti-colic system is and that it is only one piece that pops right in and not multiple that needs to be assembled. Cleaning is a breeze, too. I love that the pack also comes with a different flow rate nipple, as yo never know where your newborn will be with feeding until they’re here! Cons; these nipples do drip. That is probably the main downside for us as we got used to the natural response nipples that don’t leak/drip. Those nipples are not interchangeable with these bottles, either, which is another bummer. Aside from that, though, the system itself is great! Definitely noticeably reduces gas. You can see the nipple fill with milk during the feed even if the bottle is tilted and there is noticeably no air bubbles being sucked down by baby. I breast feed and bottle feed interchangeably and there was zero confusion for my baby when these were introduced. Whenever he gets a little extra fussy, I make sure to use these bottles for the next few feeds and his gas subsides - so I’d say they work very well! Would definitely recommend. Wish they came in glass though!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] There are 4 bottles included (2 small 4 oz each with a flow rate 1 nipple, and 2 large 9 oz with flow rate 2 nipples), as well as additional nipple singles in both flow 2 & 3, the classic Phillips Avent pacifier, and a surprisingly fantastic bottle brush! I had exclusively breastfed two babies and my third refused because of struggles to feed with a tongue tie. As a first-time bottle feeder, I was glad to have all of the sizes to work out our rhythm and figure out what he likes best. If your baby loves the classic Avent green pacifier, I think you will find the transition to these bottles easier! The anti-colic tech is different on these bottles than anything I had seen before. I don't LOVE that there are so many pieces to clean and assemble (and that is why I am giving it 4 stars as a mother of 3), but I do love that it seems to make baby less gassy. Also, make sure you screw the cap on very tightly! I received this Philips Avent Anti-colic Newborn Gift Set for free from the Stellar Product Testing Panel to test out.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this bottle set. This bottle set has everything! 2 smaller 4oz bottles with Flow 1 nipples. 2 larger 9oz bottle with Flow 2 nipples. An extra Flow 2 nipple and a Flow 3 nipple. It also includes a pacifier and bottle brush. My daughter had only personally used the Flow 1 and Flow 2 nipples before receiving this set because she tends to guzzle her bottles so the Flow 3 always seemed like too much. We did try out the Flow 3 and unfortunately it was too fast for her because she would cough a few times when using it. This kit isn’t the first experience I had with the Philips Avent Anti-Colic Bottles and Pacifier - we tried multiple different brands when she was born because she had horrible reflux and was extremely colicky. These bottles made the biggest impact on combating both issues because the vent would keep any back flow of air out and would keep milk in the nipple! This pacifier is also the only pacifier she ever took to. We have about 5 or 6 scattered around at any given time haha. The only two areas I would possibly deduct points to be a 4.5 star review would be that the AirFree vents started snapping on us after months of use (pic provided). When you put it in/on the top of the bottle, it sits right into the rim of the bottle - however, trying to get it out for cleaning without using your finger nails to pop it up is difficult and the edges break. We have still used them broken before receiving this set to review because it hasn’t hindered their function. The second possible deduction, would be the pacifier doesn’t have a spot to attach it to a standard pacifier clip with a string loop. So we sliced a hole which ended up ripping. Still her favorite paci so we can’t get rid of it haha. The bottle brush works for what it’s intended to do, but it isn’t my personal favorite for the cleaning job. The bristles on the brush are stiff and the end for the nipple cleaning is just hard plastic. I prefer a silicone bottle brush with a contoured part for the nipples. I would recommend this set for any expectant family as a gift!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Disclaimer: I received these bottles for free as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel in return for my honest and unbiased review. This is a set of Avent Anti-Colic bottles with the AirFree vent and accessories. The contents of this gift set include two (2) 4oz bottles with flow 1 nipples, two (2) 9oz bottles with flow 2 nipples, an extra flow 2 and flow 3 nipple, a pacifier, and a bottle brush. Overall, our 5 month old loved these bottles and we did too. He currently takes 6-8oz in a single formula feeding and the 9oz bottles are perfect for this. Additionally, we received these right before our vacation, so we were also able to make use of the ultraportable 4oz bottles to give him half-feedings for plane takeoff and landing. We ended up using the level 2 and 3 nipples as the flow 1 nipples were too slow for our 5 month old baby boy. We did like using these so much that we've pretty much discontinued using another brand that also has anti-colic devices. These Avent bottles seem to leak a lot less, are more compact, and baby seems to like to "try" to hold these more. We also like how simple the anti-colic device is, both to wash and to utilize. We haven't noticed any specific increase or decrease in his spit up after feeding and burping. We would (and have) bought some more Avent bottles since trying out this set.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely loved the simplicity of this bottle set, as well as its effectiveness at preventing gas! My little one took to it right away and had no issues with the flow. The bottles are so easy to put together, and the part that is gas reducing/anti-colic is one simple piece that goes onto the top of the bottle before the lid goes on. If the bottle gets tilted away while feeding, the milk is very slowly dispensed out of the space between the nipple and the insert, so it prevents air from being immediately swallowed. We had fewer burps after feedings while using this set. These bottles were also incredibly easy to clean. The brush that came with the set has dense but soft bristles that cleaned more effectively than a standard bottle brush, which often come with thinner and more flimsy bristles. The textured point at the opposite end made cleaning out nipples a breeze. Thank you so much to the Stellar Product Testing panel for providing this bottle set!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Philips Avent Anti-colic Baby Bottle with AirFree Vent Newborn Gift Set has been such a game-changer for us. My daughter took to the nipple shape right away, and I noticed a big difference with less spit-up and fussiness compared to other bottles we’ve tried. The AirFree vent really does seem to help with gas, which was my biggest concern starting daycare. The set is super convenient—it comes with multiple bottle sizes, nipples, a soothie pacifier (my daughter’s favorite), and a bottle brush that I now use on all my bottles. Everything feels durable and easy to clean, though the vent does take a little extra attention when washing. Overall, this kit has made feeding so much smoother and gave us everything we needed to get started. Highly recommend! Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing us with this bottle set.
