Product Description

Size Name: 6 ounce

From the Manufacturer
The VentAire Advanced Bottle System uses Micro-Channel Vent Technology which prevents air bubbles from mixing with liquid and going into baby's tummy. With its narrower shape, the VentAire Advanced standard bottle is easier for baby to hold. A clinical study confirms that babies using new Playtex VentAire Advanced bottles had less gas, spit-up, colic and other discomforts than with other leading bottles. With its narrower shape, the VentAire Advanced standard bottle is perfect for babies to hold. If you are switching from breast and bottle and your baby prefers a narrower nipple, the VentAire Advanced bottle can be adapted to fit almost any pump.VentAire advanced bottles are easy to clean and come with a leak-proof, break proof guarantee. The bottles are compatible with our line of Nursing Necessities breast pumps. Remember to use only VentAire Advanced Standard nipples. Other nipples will allow air bubbles to enter liquid through the nipple, creating gas for baby.

Product Description
The Playtex VentAire bottle helps reduce gas and colic. The 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. The VentAire Standard Bubble-Free Bottle System is perfect for bottle-feeding babies. Bottles are available in 6oz and 9oz sizes, and in assorted colors.

3.0 out of 5 stars Better than the liner system, December 8, 2001

By A Customer

We started out using the Playtex Nurser system and I hated it. The bags were a pain (...), and not worth the money, and the nipples left a huge ring around my baby's mouth and she leaked formula out of both sides. It was awful. We switched to the Vent-Aire bottles. They have worked okay for us, but I have found that the vent in the bottom becomes clogged quite easily. Also, I always notice air coming in through the nipple and getting bubbles in the formula, which these bottles are supposed to prevent. I have found that a vacuum can be eliminated by loosening the cap on the bottom, but at 3am it's hard to remember you did that, and you and baby end up covered in formula.

The Stage 1 nipples are slow, yes, but that's the point. If baby is gulping too much air, then a slower nipple is the way to go. I found that after my baby used these nipples for 2 weeks she had no problem getting fluid out of them. The Y cut in the nipple just takes some getting used to.

Also, using a traditional bottle warmer is ineffective with these bottles, because heat cannot travel up through the bottom of the bottle to heat the formula, and of course plastic isn't a good heat conductor anyway. As for the baby who got sick using these bottles- I don't see how that is possible. It's not air that causes acid reflux- it's diet. Granted, if she was swallowing air, it could cause spit up, but not spitup so bad a baby ends up hospitalized. Burping a baby relieves the problem before it even becomes a major issue.

I would recommend these bottles over the Playtex Nursers- but I think that I would go with the Johnson's Healthflow system in the future.

5.0 out of 5 stars an excellent change!, August 24, 2001

By A Customer

I switched to the VentAire bottles because my one-month old son was gulping too much air with the regular Gerber bottles and 3-hole nipples and I DID NOT want to use the drop-in liner system. The amount of air that is swallowed is CONSIDERABLY less therefore causing alot less discomfort during and after a feeding. Be forwarned however that the Stage 2 nipples that come with the bottles are FAST for a little one! I purchased some Stage 1 nipples (0-6 months) for the bottles and they are really hard to get any liquid out of (I tried it myself) so I'm using the Stage 2 nipples. After using these bottles for about two weeks, he has adjusted just fine to the fast-flow nipples. I also like how both ends of the bottle come off for better cleaning! The box warns that the "Bubble Free Vent" may become clogged. I have not had a problem with that. The only problem I'm having is finding extra Stage 2 nipples in the stores- all the extra nipples for sale are Stage 1. Good luck!

4.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't Leak!!!, December 4, 2003

By	Sara Swihart (Fort Wayne, Indiana, USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

When I first saw this, I was sure that it would leak, but it just seemed like sure an innovative idea that I bought one anyway.

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!
