Aaargh! Leaky bottles driving me round the bend!!

[countingtoten]

Just wanted to ask if anyone has had problems with Avent bottles leaking, and managed to solve it, or is there a brand of bottle that doesn't do this (as much)? They're proving to be (at times) messier than the wee one. Would really appreciate any input, thanks.

Asda bottles with any wide neck teat (or even the asda own ones). About £1.50 each.

[TheBlonde]

are you sure you are pulling the teat through properly?

suggested solutions

[1dilemma]

Yes

I think we just had to pull the teat in very well and screw it on quite tightly

will try and remember

[1dilemma]

snap

were you looking to move away?
we had a bleugh day dcs are really very wingey ATM when they are all together it's a nightmare as soon as one is out of the room silence descends

[TheBlonde]

hey 1dilemma - not looking to move far, only heaver estate. Went to pizza express afterwards

[1dilemma]

Is all well on job front then? I thought you'd shelved that plan.

Bit of a dreary day can't imagine Heaver would look good in this weather

[TheBlonde]

alas no job news yet
couldn't resist viewing a potential project though

[1dilemma]

about potential project, I'm quietly amazed at the number of 90 yr olds living in these big houses round here.

[1dilemma]

Did it have a bathroom?

counting sorry for hijack too

[TheBlonde]

too much work though and not in quite the right place
needs full rewire, plumb, heating, new bathrooms, new kitchen
knock a couple of walls down
new rear extension
new staircase!

[TheBlonde]

I will send you a link to the pics!

[1dilemma]

Simple really
About 2 weeks work then

[1dilemma]

we must meet will sort out day soon need to work out what's going on here.
dh may go away with dc1 for a couple of days so can't go out but maybe you could come here

[countingtoten]

I've been pulling on teats with a vengence and screwing hard and haven't had any problems till recently... bit odd. thanks for replies and enjoy your hijack ladies!

[TheBlonde]

maybe you are screwing too hard

Countingtoten, I hate, hate, hate Avent and Breastflow bottles because of the leaks.

I've found the most reliable to be Dr Brown's, though on occasion I've forgotten to take the white inner lid out before giving the bottle and ended up with a very miffed, furiously and fruitlessly sucking baby.
