Playtex Ventaire - Leaky Bottles

MrsPreK

My sister warned me about them leaking. I just didn't think it would happen so soon. What a freak'n mess =/

Off to call Playtex for some replacements.....

Ugh..they suck!  I went back to Drop Ins after only one day of VentAire.  I ended up giving all of mine away...

The only time ours leak is when DD bends the nipple and then the bottle leaks. Let me know how it goes with getting replacements...

Ours hasn't leaked yet.  I heard that they can leak if you mix formula in them, but when I posted about that a few days ago, people said they've never had that problem.  Is the silicone vent thing on the plastic bottom part correctly?  Good luck getting replacements!

We bought some to try instead of Dr. Brown's with 18 parts.... I HATED them. I went out and bought the bigger Dr. Brown's. I'd rather wash all those parts than deal with the mess from the Ventaires.

I use these but I've never had a problem w/ them leaking. I will note that I use them with Dr. Browns nipples, though. Where are they leaking? I think they are great  bottles. My one complaint is that the measurements on the bottle have almost completely worn off so you can't tell how many ounces are in there.

Well, they JUST started leaking yesterday =/

I just got off the phone with Playtex and they are sending replacement valves but said that *3* months IS the time they recommend buying new replacements.

Annoying. These are the only bottles that fit the nipples she will take - won't even take the Playtex ventaire nipples - we have to buy the Similac to-go ones from Ebay. How annoying is that???

My sister said she finally started using cheapo Gerber bottles so I think I'm going to try those. At least they won't leak.

We use the ventaire's exclusively...when I shake the formula it does leak, but I just wrap a dishtowel around it before shaking to keep it from going everywhere.  After that, no leaks.

They leak at the bottom - where the valve is. Even when it's dry and the seal is good.
