Playtex designs their VentAire bottles and nipples to promote the semi-upright feeding position pediatricians recommend to prevent ear infections. Micro-channel vents create a consistent flow of liquid, minimizing pressure on your baby's ear canals and protecting against gas, colic, and spit-ups.
NaturalShape Nipples for Latch-On
The wide, soft nipple designed specifically for the VentAire bottle system mimics the breastfeeding experience and latch-on process for a baby. Two nipple types--slow (stage 1) and fast (stage 2)--allow you to select the liquid flow rate that is best suited to your baby's needs.
Well-Designed Bottle for Proper Feeding Technique
Each angled VentAire bottle helps promote the proper, semi-upright feeding position that is recommended by pediatricians to avoid ear infections.
Patented Venting System to Reduce Gas
Micro-channel vents placed on the bottom of the bottle, instead of slits on the nipple, provide a consistent flow of liquid. Air enters and exits the bottle without mixing with the milk, greatly reducing gas, colic, and messy spit-ups, while also minimizing pressure on your baby's ear canals. The BPA- and Phthalate-free bottle comes in a variety of sizes so your baby can grow with the VentAire system.
Easy Cleanup and Convenient, Pre-Calibrated Bottles
For added convenience, the VentAire bottles open at both ends for easy cleaning. The bottles, bottle caps, vent disks, and nipples are safe to wash on the top rack of the dishwasher or can be rinsed with hot, soapy water. Plus, the bottles feature convenient, pre-calibrated markers, so you never have to guess at how much liquid you are giving your baby at each feeding.

Product Description
Playtex VentAire Wide Bottles Gift Set
The Playtex® VentAire® bottle helps reduce gas and colic. Our patented bottle lets parents feed their baby virtually bubble-free. The leak-proof vent lets air in through the bottom of the bottle versus at the nipple like other bottles. So, there are virtually no bubbles for your baby to swallow. That means less gas, colic or spitting up. And, its angled shape promotes the semi-upright feeding position recommended by pediatricians to help prevent ear infections. The VentAire bottle is also easy to clean because top and bottom are removable and the vent is one piece. Wash by hand or in the dishwasher.

Doesn't Leak,
By
This review is from: Playtex VentAire Advanced BPA Free Wide Bottle Newborn Starter Set (Baby Product)
When I first saw this, I was sure that it would leak, but it just seemed like such an innovative idea that I bought one anyway. The bottle is incredibly easy to clean because both ends can be removed.
I unscrewed the nipple ring and the bottom of the bottle. I was so sure that it would leak if I put anything liquid in it. I filled the bottle full of water and tossed it around on a white sheet to see if it leaked. It didn't, but I still wasn't sure. So, I washed the bottle in hot water. I've noticed that some bottles leak after being washed. Then, I tried the sheet experiment again. It didn't leak. This bottle is 9 months old and still hasn't leaked. I also liked how these bottles were wide and took similar nipples as the disposable bottles from Playtex, which makes switching back and forth from the Playtex disposable and reusable bottles much easier and causes less nipple confusion.

Good bottle for breastfeeding babies; not necessarily the best choice for others,
By
This review is from: Playtex VentAire Advanced BPA Free Wide Bottle Newborn Starter Set (Baby Product)
When I registered for my baby shower, I inadvertently registered for the regular Ventaire bottles as well as these Natural Shape bottles (which is what I was wanting), so my review will discuss both types.
For starters, the Natural Shape bottles are good for babies who are breastfeeding, because the milk doesn't flow out when the bottle is tipped over. The baby really has to suck to get it out, and it has to open its mouth wider due to the size of the nipple. Feeding my son with a stage 1 nipple took a REALLY long time. Approximately 40-45 minutes. However, I tried a Stage 2 nipple when he was about four months old, and the milk flowed out pretty easily. So quickly in fact that he got really mad and refused to eat because he was getting choked. I switched back to Stage 1 nipples, and also began relying heavily on the regular Ventaire bottles. He is now 5 months old and we have switched to Stage 2 nipples in the Natural Shape bottles, and he is doing well. He tends to finish a 6-7 oz bottle in about 10 minutes. These bottles are a lot wider than regular bottles, and he has a harder time trying to grasp and hold these bottles. Now for the regular Ventaire bottles. I found these bottles to be the better of the two for us. Although I had initially breastfed, and chose the Natural Shape bottles for that reason, I had to quit breastfeeding at four weeks. So the issue of having a nipple that wouldn't confuse the baby was no longer a concern for us. The regular Ventaire bottles had no flow issues, even with Stage 1 nipples. He finished his bottle faster with this type of bottle and seemed to have no problems with the speed of the flow. We switched to Stage 2 nipples a couple of weeks ago and the transition was smooth. I didn't notice him getting choked, and he doesn't have to gulp as quickly as he does with the Stage 2 nipples on the Natural Shape bottles. These bottles are also slimmer, which makes it easier for him to try and grasp and hold the bottle. Now for the operation of both types of bottles. They have a plastic disc that fits into the bottom ring of the bottle, then the bottle screws on, and finally the nipple in its ring screw on top of that. On the regular Ventaire bottles the disc fits snugly into the bottom. On the Natural Shape bottles, it has to fit into a little notch, and it is easy to think it's in right only to find out that its not (ie, when the milk starts leaking out). We heat our bottles in a pan of water on the stove, and the bottom rings have a tendency to hold water. So if you use this method, you need to tap the bottle sideways on the pan to shake out the water in the ring, and I usually hold a dish towel up to the edge of the ring as well and tip the bottle so that all the hot water comes out. If you don't, when you tip the bottle to feed your baby the hot water will run down onto your hand (or the baby's hand if s/he can hold the bottle). This isn't really a reason not to buy the bottles, just something to be aware of. Finally, some people have wondered if babies swallow less air with this type of bottle. I have two older children that I used standard bottles with, and I have seen no difference between those and these Playtex bottles. My son still burps just as much as the next baby. Occasionally during feeding you can hear some air leaking out, but overall, I really don't think it makes any difference.

The best of the bottles that we tried,
By PghYinzer "more of myself after winter" (Pittsburgh, PA United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)
This review is from: Playtex VentAire Advanced BPA Free Wide Bottle Newborn Starter Set (Baby Product)
We didn't use bottles much early on - I breastfed exclusively for 13 1/2 months because early attempts with pumping and bottles were a dismal failure - so we ended up using these bottles late in the game and can't really say if or how these would work with a newborn. But we did try a few bottles... here's what we hated and why we love these.
We tried the classic Playtex nursers with the bag. They were OK but the bag part seems wasteful and you still end up with a bunch of parts to wash so what is the point? Also the classic Playtex nipples just seem weird to me. We had some success with the "orthodontic" one but nothing but problems with the flat and round tops ones that are supposed to pop out when baby latches on. We tried Avent and HATED those. They leak around the neckband and even the number 1 newborn nipple flowed MUCH too fast for my baby. Only tried these because they came with my Avent pump which I also hated. Then a maybe even bigger problem with the Avent is, the nipple can be pushed down inside the bottle... all the way down inside, so it actually detaches from the ring. At that point your child is free to dump milk all over himself or whatever else he pleases. We started to use these around the time I really wanted to get my baby to sleep through the night, around 10-11 months I guess. I would have my husband go in with a bottle of water or milk instead of me going in to nurse. Now I use them if he needs a night time milk bottle, which is pretty rare, or if it is day time and I can't find a clean sippy cup or he is, for whatever reason, demanding a bottle. These bottles are really great. There are very few parts to wash and the parts there are wash easily. We have had no problems with leaks. My baby is able to drink smoothly from the bottle because of how well it is vented. I love the angled aspect of the bottle, makes it easier to hold the baby semi-upright and still tilt the bottle to get all the milk out. Curious toddlers cannot dislodge the nipple. And... the colors are pretty. :-) If we have another baby, we will definately use these from the beginning (assuming I have better pumping success...) Make sure to get the NATURAL SHAPE bottles/nipples, not the regular VentAire.
