Natural Flow Anti-Colic Baby Bottles - 8oz - 3pk

I still love these bottles. My son is now 10 months old and has been using these bottles since he was 3 weeks old. The absolute best thing about these bottles is that my son has been interchanging between breast and bottle since he was 3 weeks old and he has had no issue going from one to the other. I've heard about nipple confusion but never experienced it and I think these bottles have a lot to do with it. He drinks pumped milk from these bottles during the day when I'm at work and nurses in the mornings and nights when I'm home. The first time I gave him a bottle, I used the bottles that came with my Medela Freestyle Breast Pump - the nipples collapsed as soon as he started sucking on them. I switched to the Dr. Browns bottles immediately and my son went to town. I have used these bottles since. Yes, some of the blue decoration on the outside of the bottles has faded over time but that is not a big deal to me. I replace the nipples every 2 months or so but have been using the same bottles and parts for 10 months. I clean them in warm soapy water after every use and sterilize them in a microwave sterilizer once a week. They have held up great. No warping, no discoloration. I initially used the Philips AVENT BPA-Free Bottle Brush but I was replacing it every 2 months because the bristles kept flattening. I switched to the Munchkin Deluxe Bottle Brush about 3 months ago and haven't had to replace it - bristles still intact and it has a better nipple brush. Lastly, I use the Dr Browns microwave sterilizer, Dr Browns bottle warmer and the Munchkin Sprout Drying Rack which all work perfectly for the Dr. Browns bottle system. I recommend the Dr Brown's BPA Free Deluxe Gift Set because it has six 8 oz. bottles, four 4 oz. bottles, 10 Level 1 nipples, 4 Level 2 nipples, 4 Level 3 nipples, 4 Level 4 nipples, 6 storage caps and 5 cleaning brushes. It is available at BRU and I will be getting that for the next baby since I plan on buying a new set for him/her. Oh and for pumping mothers, I was able to pump directly into the 4 oz Dr Browns bottles while using my Medela Freestyle Breast Pump! They screw right into the pump parts. Lastly, my son never had gas issues and again, I attribtute that to these wonderful bottles. This is my first 5-star review ever - that says something.

My daughter and I did extensive research on what type bottle to use for her new baby - especially as she was nursing and needed to get baby on bottle (pumped breastmilk) before heading back to work. These bottles have worked perfectly. She tried the bottles and nipples that came with her Medela Breast Pump but they allowed baby to drink too fast and she had some choking issues. We did more research and then decided to try the Dr. Brown's 4 oz. bottles first (as she was not eating too much at the time). The nipples that came with that system were Level 1 and she also seemed to eat too fast, even though less choking. We read a review here at Amazon.com mentioning the Preemie nipples, so we bought and began using those. Worked perfectly. Baby had to eat slower, more sucking needed, seemed more like breastfeeding. We have now upgraded to the 8 oz. bottles as "our" 4 monther + 15 pounder, is doing fantastic and needs more at her feedings than the 4 ounce bottles allow (don't have to refill during feeding). BTW I babysit her every day while daughter at work so I have first hand experience with these bottles. We do burp her after 4 ounces and try to get a 10 minute break between the first and 2nd 4 ounces (total 8 ounce per feeding) and this works well - most of the time! Have kept the preemie nipple as she still breastfeeds when mamma not at work. No gas, no colic, no choking. Hope this helps and they work out for your baby too.

These are hands down the best bottles we've ever owned. They're great for a number of reasons: 1) The design prevents the baby from taking in extra air, cutting down on gas and burping, which in turn cut down on spit-ups. 2) Completely BPA free 3) Well made, high quality plastic. They're firm but not inflexible, shatter proof, and easy to hold. 4) Great heat transfer for heating up cold bottles (we heat them using hot water and a glass that is a bit wider in circumference than the bottle. Just pour in about half a glass of hot water, put in the bottle, let it sit for a minute or two and you're ready to go. No mess, and if you want the bottle a bit warmer, just repeat with a bit more hot water). 5) Exchangeable nipples--you can keep the bottle but swap out the nipple as your baby grows A few thoughts: Those complaining that they are made from too many parts are missing the point: the bottles have the additional parts to cut down on unwanted air intake as your baby drinks their milk. That means that your baby has fewer spit ups. I'll happily wash a few more bottle parts to save having to wash the baby, the floor, or myself (wherever his spit-ups land). It's a time saver in the long run. Bottles are easily washed. Babies and clothing not so much. To those who have experienced leaks: It's likely that either you have not installed the rubber stopper correctly, or that you have a defective stopper. In the first instance, check to make sure your stopper is lined up and inserted according to the instructions. If you're still having leaks, send the bottle(s) back and get replacements. Amazon will happily send you a new one, and if it's outside their window, contact Dr. Brown directly. Conclusions: These are a must buy if you want high quality plastic bottles. We've been more than happy with them.

I have 9 of these bottles that I use with breast milk for my son while at daycare. The bottles are excellent and not difficult to use. My comments: 1) Yes, the markings are not colored (just raised plastic) so it takes an extra second to measure how much liquid is in the bottle. However, correctly reading those markers requires that you're eye level with the bottle anyway, so this isn't an issue to me. If you're preparing a bottle in the dark having bold markings isn't going to help anyway. 2) There are a lot of parts to clean, but it's not a big deal. I toss everything into the dishwasher (and use Cascade dishwasher pouches and white vinegar or Jet Dry in the rinse compartment; the detergent and rinses were approved by my pediatrician). I dry everything on a Munchkin drying rack. Some bottles take a little longer than overnight to dry, but it's not a big deal. 3) Yes, the bottles will leak if you turn them over without the circular insert in place. I don't use the insert because I don't want anyone opening the bottle and getting any dirt into the milk. I just put the bottles upright into a Playtex bottle cooler with some ice packs and I haven't had any leaking problems going to or from daycare. I don't think I would take these to Disneyland or on an adventure where they might sit upside down for a while. However, these are perfect for daily use. 4) This is by far the most used and liked type of bottle in daycare. I think 10 of the 12 infants there are using these bottles. I use the self-laminating stickers on Amazon to put my son's name on the bottles and a washable food label for the date. I do love these bottles and I'm very happy with them. I won't be bothering with another type of bottle unless I plan on traveling with a full bottle.

Muy buenas pachas , son anticolicos, yo las use con mi hijo y nunca le dieron colicos, porque tiene la pieza quw va adentro que atrapa el aire a la hora que ellos succionan la leche, muy buenas

These bottles are good and I don't mind washing the parts. The playtex dropins gave my daughter terrible gas. My daughter still burps and spits up but she has severe GERD and I feel like these bottles work fine for her. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because they are huge! I wish Dr. Brown's had a mid level range like a 6oz bottle instead of just 4oz and 8oz. I guess if I were giving her 8oz bottles right now it wouldn't matter but when I use these I only put 5-6oz in them. Overall it is a good product and Amazon has the best price. Also, invest in the travel caps that you can buy separate (not the discs that come with it). They are a must for these bottles and are great for shaking the bottle with powdered formula since they tend to leak if you shake it with the travel discs and they are great for travel so you don't have to keep the bottles upright. On a side note the bottles will hook up to a breast pump...if you happen to need a 8oz bottle to pump 8oz out of each breast.

I know these bottles are supposed to help babies with colic, but as our daughter didn't have colic I can't say much about that. However, our daughter did have excessive spit up. She would spit up almost everything she ate, and had trouble gaining weight. We couldn't find a reason for it as she threw up breast milk, and various formulas in the same amounts. I heard that these could help with spit up and decided to give them a try. The first feeding with these bottles she went from spitting up nearly everything to less than half of what she ate. Two days later we went to her pediatrician for a weight check and she had finally started to gain. These bottles are amazing. That said, if your child doesn't have colic or some other health reason for buying these, don't. At the end of the day you have 4 or more bottles and approximately a bazillion pieces (conservative estimate) to clean. It's a pain. Totally worth it if they help ease your baby's symptoms, but for a typical baby, save yourself the time and buy a brand with the usual three parts. Because, really, who wants more dishes?

When we registered for our first son, we didn't do much research on products, but rather took a lot of our friends advice on what to purchase, and these bottles were recommended by just about everyone. Many parents said they bought other bottles first, and had issues with gas/etc. and eventually ended up buying these, resulting in double-buying bottles. We figured we'd cut to the chase and just get these first--why bother with the others? We've used them exclusively now for 6 weeks. Pros: Our kid doesn't seem to have much gas or indigestion, and rarely spits up. Now, I can't tell you that this has anything to do with the bottles, because we haven't tried any other brand. We may have just gotten lucky with the kid. At 6 weeks though, he's eating 6 oz at a time, and never an issue. They've never leaked on us. Cons: These suckers are time consuming to clean. Maybe it's all bottles, but I absolutely detest cleaning them. You've got to clean the little holes and tube-thingy, and it takes awhile to get it all done. It is, hands-down, my least favorite parenting chore--and we cloth diaper, so that has to mean something. Overall Assessment: I feel like I'm doing something good for the kid by using these bottles--whether he needs them or not. I do hate cleaning them though, with a passion. Our solution was to purchase more than what we needed so we could run them through the dishwasher to clean from now on. With that said--you still need to clean the holes and tube-thingy with the brush first--just to be sure you get the gunk out. If you're going to get them, buy double what you think you need--even if you hand wash them, you don't have to do it as often and you're less likely to want to throw the bottles at people.
