Leaking bottles?
Urghhh, my bottles keep leaking. I thought it was the nipples so I bought new ones and they are still leaking.  It's making me nuts. I use Avent. Anyone else experiencing this problem?

Re: Leaking bottles?
My Playtex bottles have been leaking lately. And not through the nipple part. I'm thinking it's due to the fact that Andrew likes to chuck them on the floor or across the room!
I plan to go buy some new ones this weekend!

Re: Leaking bottles?
Even before I opened your thread I knew from the subject line they were Avent bottles. They do have a tendency to leak, I had a problem with them and I know of other Moms who have too. I use to have to screw and unscrew the cap a few times, it was pretty annoying with a hungry baby waiting.

I have tried the screw and unscrew the top thing, it is annoying. I don't want to switch bottles on him now. Very frustrating.

If you tighten them too much they will leak. Just try putting on the cap but not too tight. I had this problem once and then it never happened to me again. Hope it helps.

That's true. My friend called Avent and that's what they told her.
From the Avent website:
Why does my Natural Feeding Bottle leak?
Leaking may occur:
If the bottle is over-tightened. When assembling the Natural Feeding Bottle, gently turn the cap until you feel it naturally grab the bottle. It may appear that you can tighten the screw ring farther, however, avoid doing this. If the screw ring is too tight, the nipple's base wrinkles, creating a gap that allows fluid to escape.
If the nipple is not pulled completely into the screw ring. You should hear a snap or click when it has been pulled into the screw ring.
If the nipple isn't clean. Clean the nipple thoroughly, including the base of the nipple, using your fingers and warm, soapy water.
If the nipple isn't centered within the dome cap. This may happen when traveling with the bottle. Reposition the nipple so it appears centered within the dome cap.
If the wrong nipple is on your bottle. The nipples for the Natural Feeding Bottle and the Disposable Nurser are not interchangeable. Anti-Colic Nipples are clear and have a round extended skirt on the base of the nipple. Disposable Nurser Nipples are blue-tinted and have a flat bottom.

Re: Leaking bottles?
I also knew you were talking about Avent because we had the same problem. You just have to unscrew the top and put it back on until it adjusts the way it should.

Exactly! Make sure they aren't too tight - that is the key.
