A few friends that used the Avent bottles also had the same problem. It wasn't an issue of one or two bad bottles/nipples. They all did it on occasion. It seemed the problem was that sometimes the seal between the nipple and the bottle wasn't forming correctly, leaving a gap the milk would leak from if you tilted the bottle a certain way. It also seemed the act of feeding could cause this to happen sometimes, because it would start leaking later even if you tested it when you filled the bottle. I mostly mention this because one of our friends actually called Avent up to complain about this problem and were pretty much blown off by them. My wife got fed up with them after about 3 months and we went to a different brand. I had the same problem. But it I found out why the bottles kept leaking. First of all you need to make sure you have Avent nipples that go with the cap. Then whether or not your bottle leaks depends on how you put on the cap and the nipples. If you pull (and from experience I can tell you that you really have to do a bit of tugging and pulling before the nipple snaps into the cap the way it is supposed to sit) the nipple into the cap before you put the cap on, you should be set. But you have to thouroughly screw on the cap and then (eventually) repull the nipple again. After that check. If it still leaks fasten the cap another turn. The problem should be solved that way.
