Ventaire bottles leaking-

Stacyc625

Please tell me i am not alone- I swear every time i use the ventaire bottles they leak. I am pumping into them because they are larger than my other bottles and it is a real pain at 6am to have a lapfull of breastmilk every now and then.

only the bottles with the plastic 'ring' at the bottom leaks- i have another ventaire bottle with a full circle of plastic- never leaks. is this common?

Leaked with me too! I still use them to pump into and transfer them into smaller quantities later.

Mine only leaked if I didn't press the little rubber disc in there completely. Don't know if that is the issue or not.

I dont get it- drives me insane. i push the rubber disk in, do a test run with water to check for leaks--- nothing. when i get up in the morning to pump breastmilk is all over my lap. GRRRR.

I used these and had the same problem. I called Playtex to complain. They said you have to completely disassemble the bottle when you clean. Water gets between the plastic ring and the bottom. I didnt realized their was a plastic ring.??I actually threw some of my bottles away b/c I thought they were defective?We started doing this & no problem.

Call playtex. They sent me coupons for free bottles.?

Yup same here, we had to replace the ring at the bottom on a couple. I guess thats why they come with extras. May not use these with our next baby.

i totally disassemble EVERY single time i wash them. it is completely annoying. i just might call playtex right now. it is extremely annoying. I am just kinda glad it wasn't me and i was doing something wrong.

I disassemble everytime as well.  I only seem to have a problem when I am really sleepy and don't assemble properly.  These are the only bottles my DS likes so I guess that's what I use

I'm having the same problems too and I completely disassemble. ?Now I use them as my last resort ?bottles.

Interesting that this is posted today as last night I just went to BRU and replaced all Ventaire with Dr. Browns.  I was so tired of the leaking!

You can't pump into the Ventaire bottles!   The one way valve at the bottom leaks under the suction pressure of the pump!   (I learned this the hard way, too...)

I have never had them leak from feeding.  Try just pumping into pump bottles or bags and then feeding from the Ventaire.

I used to have issues but I figured out also that you have to take out the ring when you are washing them. I haven't had a problem since.

Sometimes those rings get gross if you don't take them off and wash them.
