Dr Brown's Natural Flow Anti-Colic Options+ Wide-Neck Baby Bottle, 9oz/270ml, with Level 1 Teat, 2-Pack

I bought these after my sister used them for her kids. We’ve had no issues with colic etc. and baby managed bottle fine from the first use. I like that they’re one size so you can still use the same bottles as they grow. Bit fidgety to put them together at first with the tongs but you soon get the hang of it. Easy to sterilise and I watched a couple of videos to make sure I was positioning everything correctly in the steriliser. They can leak when travelling with just the flat disk which is annoying. I did consider buying the travel caps separately but I’m now in the habit of keeping the changing bag or insulated bottle pouch upright at all times when we’re out of the house and it’s been fine since then, as we did have quite a few big leaks at the start. People often ask what the green tube is and are impressed when I tell them. Friends of ours were considering swapping to Dr Browns after seeing us with them and hearing that they were good. Shame you can’t get them in the big UK high street retailers and supermarkets like you can with other brands.

Absolutely amazing!! My baby loves these bottles. Before Doc Brown, We were always so worried about how our bubba was so gassy and spat up all the time, he was constipated and he grunted a lot because he was uncomfortable. I must have called the health visitor three times about this, wondering if he had a milk intolerance or reflux. On my third call to the health visitor, I was recommended Dr Brown’s, and that same day I went out and bought two. There was an instant change - he was drinking slower because the hole in the nipple is small, he stopped being gassy, the grunting reduced, the spitting up reduced and so did the constipation. In fact, since he wasn’t gulping down his milk and had time for his belly to process how much he needed, he actually started to drink less. We realised that he didn’t need so much milk, and gradually he moved up to more milk when he was ready, rather than when the milk carton said he should be ready. And don’t be fooled by the “anti colic” label. Not all babies have colic. My baby was labelled as having colic but it was not colic causing him so much discomfort, it was the other bottles feeding him too quickly (because they had bigger holes) and also letting in air. doctors and midwives don’t even really know what colic is. Like with any grown adult human being, if you eat too much, you’ll feel uncomfortable and probably gassy as a result. The dr browns are slow flow and they prevent extra air going into your baby. I genuinely don’t think my baby had colic. What I mean is that the bottle is labelled as an anti colic but it basically feeds your baby with the common sense principle of not giving them too much in one go and stopping extra air being ingested. We had tried Tommy tippee, Nuk and Boots’ own brand bottles, and after spending at least £100 on bottles (plus all the other Tommy tippee accessories for bottles, eg the insulated bottle bags, travel warmer etc) we settled on Dr Brown. Every baby is different so it’s not possible to know if a baby will like one bottle over another. I did of course see many reviews from parents when I bought the Tommy tippee, nuk and boots bottles, but really, it’s all about how your baby feels . Same goes for other baby products such as bouncers and slings. I’d recommend try one or two first, and only if you think your baby is fine with them, then buy more. Don’t do what I did and buy 15 Tommy tippee bottles just because they were cheap and I also didn’t really think there was anything wrong with them, except when I tried dr brown and saw the difference it made to my baby. And these bottles don’t leak if the temperature of the water is moderate. I use a perfect prep machine, and the water is not hot, so I get no leaks. But one time I had to make a feed by using boiled water - the milk leaked. So with these bottles you need to do as directed in the formula container, which is to let the water cool.

Easy to clean

I bought this for my baby who suffered from colic and it worked well and he was swallowing less air bubbles in his milk. Theres a few parts but I think its easy enough to clean and sterilise and i small cleaning brush is provided for those hard to reach parts. The only problem I found was that if you accidentally knock the bottle it leaks and you end up with milk on everything and caught in the lid.

Good bottles and I prefer the 270ml size as they are easier to handle although larger than I need at the moment. These bottles WILL leak if they are carried/stored on their side or upside down. Went out with 6oz made up but bottle tipped over on its side in the change bag and ended up with 4oz of milk in the bag itself. The bottles do come with a white disk fitted under /as part of the scrre on lid. These will prevent the bottle leaking if used! The anti cholic features seem to work and I believe it reduced once we started using these bottles

Tried a few bottles for my boys colic these are the ones we ended up sticking with.would use these again

My baby was pyloric stenosis after having operation at 6 weeks he was still having issues with throwing up wind etc. and not burrowing well after feeds and feeds causing a lot of wind Tried gaviscon carabel and many other bottles but these are a game changer! Definitely worth every penny and have reduced my babies issues along side medication for throwing up - he is happier feeding on these bottles and that’s all that matters - the best bottles hands down

This is the first time I'm buying bottles so, I have nothing to compare. They are good but, I bit annoying to get them clean and, sometimes, out of the blue, they leak. As I said, I've never bought bottles before so don't know if I'm doing something wrong 😅
