  5.0 out of 5 stars Buy these!

  I am a first time mom. It is hard to find the right bottles. Another brand I bought said it was for newborns but they totally sucked, he was eating too fast, gassy, and spitting up a lot. A friend of mine suggested these and they are a game changer. Buy these and save yourself money! I bought premie nipples to go with these which takes him longer to eat but that’s a good thing. These bottles along with premmie nipples made feeding times alot better. He spits up alot less now and is also alot less fussy/gassy. They are so good at keeping him from getting air bubbles he doesn’t always burp every time. Of course try to burp your baby anyway! 5 stars!

  5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect transition from the NICU bottles

  My son was in the NICU, and is only on formula because I don't have milk. He only liked the NICU bottle and the similac slow flow nipple that came with it. We've tried different bottles and nipples but he didn't like any. We finally found this dr. Brown one and he liked it. We were washing and sanitizing the bottles and nipples that we got from the NICU until we found this narrow slow flow dr. Brown bottles. He leaks much less with them as well. Highly recommend.

  5.0 out of 5 stars Don’t buy the wide bottles!!!!

  If you’re between these and Dr. Brown’s wide bottle, buy these!!! We’ve been using the wide and como tomo for baby’s first month and I finally bought these and wow what a difference!! The wide bottle makes you think baby is getting a more natural breast shape but breasts compress when feeding and the wide nipple doesn’t. This bottle is actually more similar to breast. For my baby the wide was encouraging a shallow latch (also had tongue tie revision so he was already susceptible to shallow latch), lots of clicking and losing suction, so much leaking out of his mouth, and so much gas!!!I switched to these today and used the Dr. Brown’s formula pitcher and what a big difference. No clicking and no leaking. No more gumming the bottle. Seems to be less gas but time will tell. Also the wide makes it really hard to get the last drops of milk without dipping your baby completely horizontal but with these I can pretty much keep him upright and still get to the bottom. They’re even easier to hold. The only downside is that you need a bottle brush to clean these. I’m buying more of these immediately and putting all the rest in long term storage!

  5.0 out of 5 stars Dr Brown’s awesome! Skinny on several types of bottles, on leaks, and too many parts to clean!!

  Dr Brown’s bottles, in general, are great!! Each one, however, is slightly different and overall I prefer the Options, even though my baby is not old enough to use valve-less. I have the original (terrible at spills, because the white cap in the shape of a top hat, sort of, doesn’t stop any liquid at all; they have clear bottles, blue tubies, and whitish valves). I have 4oz blue Options (great, easy parts, thumb print on the lid is awesome for popping that sucker off, and the lid also has these bumps that line up with the nipple, where it slows down the leaking of liquids, and keeps the leak in the cap, although given the ease of taking the cap off, it can still get really messy). (Sorry for the run on sentences, I’m a sleep deprived mama!!) I have the 4oz pink Options (similar to the blue, but actually the valve fits very snuggly along with the tubey part into the bottle, so that can be handy when trying to put the bottle together or add formula, while also holding a baby - more stable than any of the other bottles, where the tubey/valve pieces are just loose kind of sitting on top of the bottle; similar cap as the blue, but no thumb print, and harder to get the cap off, especially one handed). Lastly, I have the 8oz Options with plain bottles and with the Dream/Adventure and Animal characters, all with the green valves and tubies, and the similar cap to the blue, except they are clear, thumbprint included! These have been great, and the animal characters are super cute; the ‘dream big’ and ‘adventure awaits’ are cute-meh. The only thing I was disappointed in that set, is that half the bottles had characters, and half were plain. I may be off on the count, because I bought two sets, but I remember being bummed that I paid a premium for cuteness, and didn’t get a full set of cuteness! I do not own, but have used some purple wide bottles that I was loaned while traveling. That was great, so I wouldn’t have to carry a bunch of bottles, but I wouldn’t/didn’t buy them; they’re just too wide for my taste, harder to handle, especially one handed, and I didn’t feel the wide nipple was significantly better for my baby girl. I will address two of the main two complaints I’ve seen about Dr. Brown’s: leaking and too many parts to clean! Leaking, yes, totally a thing, but it does in fact say on the bottle to only fill to X line to avoid leaking! Having said that, it is very hard for my brain to perfectly calculate how much water I need for the formula, where I don’t end up exceeding the volume specified on ghe bottle! I personally don’t think it’s a huge issue. I know it’s going to or probably will, leak, given the liquid in the bottle, and what I do is to keep a cloth or bib under the bottle when she first starts drinking, and after the liquid is down a bit, I just open the bottle up and pull the valve/tubey piece up a bit, and several big drops come flying down the side of the bottle, which I just wipe off with the same bib/cloth. I can immediately get the bottle put back together before my daughter complains too terribly much. Remember, this is only an issue when you’re filling the entire bottle, either 4oz or 8, so at that point the baby is a bit older and can hopefully handle the briefest of pauses without too much of an issue. If my daughter were the type to go full on nuclear melt down, I think I would probably have to be more diligent about staying under the line, and offering more milk, once the bottle’s finished, and a fuller belly is less likely to melt down. Ok, regarding too many parts to clean... there’s what? Two extra parts that other bottles don’t have? Meh. But I will totally recommend getting the Dr Brown’s dishwasher baskets!!! Oh. Dude. Awesome sauce, life-saving, yes. I am very green, sustainable oreinted, so I cringe at how much water I’m consuming running the dishwasher sometimes every day. So not cool. And, I’m also a sole parent, so I gots a lot to take care of, dishwashy basket is a must!! I have 4. : 0 ) I’m not a super fan of washing the nipples in the dishwasher, so I still do those by hand, no biggy. There’s even special baskets for just nipples; someone gave them to me, but no, I no likey since it looks like there’s still a film on the inside.My experience with Dr Brown’s bottles in general, has been awesome! I don’t even remember when I sorta stopped burping my baby (she’s six months now), it just happened organically over time, but when I was burping her (maybe for three months?), she would only have one, maybe two burps. She burps on her own now, but then maybe that’s just her, the point is that there was very little gas! She had a wee bit of reflux as a newborn, but that’s normal I think, what with having an immature gut as a tadpole-baby. I gave her probiotics and kept her upright-ish, and I think the bottles helped. Ultimately, I totally recommend them!! They were recommended to me by my sister, 8 years ago, as my nephew’s salvation, hope they work for you!

  5.0 out of 5 stars Many parts to clean but does not leak as much compared to other bottles.

  I have a one month old preemie baby (born 34wks; was in NICU for being an immature feeder) When it was time for her to use a regular bottle vs hospital bottle we started with the MAM bottles and she took to it pretty well but milk did leak out of the base of the nipple and she seemed to get so gassy after her feedings. I got quite a few of these Dr Browns bottles in a variety of baby sample boxes so we decided to give it a try and my little one immediately took to the these bottles (narrow flow 1 nipples come with these bottles). It does appear to help with her burps and gassiness compared to the MAM bottled we used previously and there was no confusion for her making the switch from a wide base nipple to a more narrow base nipple. So far we love these but hate all the different parts that must be washed! That is the only downside!
