Dr Brown’s Standard Narrow Neck

Constantly leak – These bottles, no matter what you do, will leak. We have had to replace so many. If they didn’t leak they would be great. It’s very frustrating and I do not recommend Show details

Absolute waste of money! – ever since day one they have leaked. you can't shake the bottle otherwise milk just spills everywhere. my son gets drenched in milk as it just leaks out of the stupidly designed bleeding system. these bottles suck as a cheap one works so much better. Show details

Great for a while but! – Helped Bub so much with wind from birth but after a month though they all leak!!! Not worth the $$$ considering I had to buy new ones frequently, big rave on a bottle that isn’t really designed that well. Show details

Good for a 3 months then leaking – 1. I purchased the small 60mL bottle 2 pack with premmie teats, excellent, my baby stopped choking and significantly reduced the need to burp him. As I initially was breastfeeding and only topping up with formula I slowly purchased more smaller bottles, over time 2 bottles started to leak, then two more etc. I could see that after approx. 3 months… Read more

of use they started to leak, I suspected constant microwave sterilisation meant the rubber part of the vent system is vulcanised and no longer creates a seal. As I had started moving onto larger sized bottles it was not such a problem however it meant that I couldn't give the smaller bottles to a friend or sell them. I stopped sterilising the rubber vent.

2. On one occasion I also purchased a set of bottles with a slightly new design. The rubber vent had an added triangle, I couldn't see any improvement and eventually they leaked. The problem was the lids, they were really hard to get on and off and milk leaked from the teat into the lid. I could tell what lids they were as they had a triangle imprint in the lid. From then onwards I only purchased bottles that had the older style of lid. This was possible as many stores had mixed stock. Once all stock is the new bottles I wouldn't bother purchasing them.

I contacted the online support email but never received a response.

3.Early on I purchased some bottles at a baby expo, they were significantly cheaper than at a shop such as baby bunting.

4. The product says it can be used with the venting system but then there is no airhole so baby has to suck alot harder, not practical.

5. The bottles have a Max. Volume of 60mL, 120mL and 240mL. Given most baby formula is 60mL water plus powder, it then goes above the "do not fill above line". I then have to pour some off. Very annoying.

Great bottles – My baby had slightly less wind with these bottles and burps it more easily, but what i really love about them is the way the milk comes out, it is much smoother than other bottles. If your baby is under 3 months though i strongly suggest getting the preemie nipples as the flow on the number 1 nipples was just way too fast for my baby to use until… Read more

he was about 3 and a half months. he is now 5 months and still on number 1 nipples. i dont really find them too much of a pain to clean they are fussier than other bottles but it takes maybe an extra minute to clean 3 bottles than it used to take cleaning 3 of the bottles i used to use. (i only have 3 bottles and he eats 6 bottles a day so thats a extra 2 mins washing bottles a day? hardly worth mentioning!) the other bottles i used the nipples kept inverting when bub was sucking and these dont do that. i think they are great! smooth natural flowing milk, less wind pain, easier feeding time Slightly longer to clean, slightly more expensive, totally worth it though

Excellent – I LOVE these bottles. They would beat the Avent bottles hands down! They greatly reduce gas...in fact after switching to these bottles my daughter never had a problem with colic. Yes they do tend to leak sometimes but I've found they only leak when they have been filled too full and the straw isn't exposed to the air in the bottle while feeding.… Read more

Or they sometimes leak if the liquid in the bottle is too hot and you try to shake it up.

I use the glass bottles for warm liquid and the plastic ones when the liquid is cold so that my daughter can learn to feed herself.

After using these bottles, my daughter wouldn't drink from any other bottles.

I know they don't recommend microwaving the glass bottles but I always do and I've never had a problem with them breaking in the microwave. The only time they break is when they are dropped. Duh! Greatly reduces gas Nothing! Maybe just that it has a few pieces to wash...a little more labour intensive to wash but I also put everything in the dishwasher so it isn't too much trouble...actually it's well worth the trouble to avoid gas!

Highly recommend! No leaks yet – I have been using these bottles for about 6 weeks now. Recommended by our child health nurse after my son was suffering terrible wind.. i thought it was solely his formula and mentioned to her i was looking to change it when she suggested trying these bottles. The Philips Avent bottles i was using i was noticing bubbles and he often would have… Read more

some leaking out side of his mouth when drinking, never has this happened with these his wind issues practically disappeared (altho not fully until changed from s26 to blackmores formula). Make sure you change the teat as they age though as he was starting to struggle close to 3 months with getting enough out which prompted me to remember to change to the next size teat. I originally though when I unpacked them and the steralizer that they would be a pain to clean but they arent. Not once have we had the leaking issue that everyone mentions. Had I read the reviews before buying i probably wouldn't have because of the reviews about leaking but so glad i did as no issues for us. Also worth mentioning that I was still partially breastfeeding when starting these bottles when initially started it helped as with previous bottles having faster flow he was going off breast feeding because bottle was much quicker and i had low supply but as the flow is slightly less than usual due to the filter it got him back to still being open to breastfeeding

Excellent, easy to use and clean - long lasting – I have been using the Dr Browns bottle for approx 5 months for my 7 month old who had severe colic. These bottle restricted the amount of air and bubbles my son was taking in and making. If you have a baby that likes the gulp I also recommend these. Although the bottle are on the higher end of cost as are the teets as me son grows, it is worth… Read more

it.

With my daughter I, who is now 4, i would have spent more money on cheaper bottles by the same age.

I read the reviews before purchasing and found a few said about leakage- they only leak if the green stem isn’t sitting properly or the lid isn’t on properly.

Highly recommend!

Only downfall is I hadn’t to buy a new bottle bag

Dont waste your money! They leak so bad! – Dont waste your money- they are so expensive and all you get is a product thats consistently leaks. What a joke. Contacted dr browns to advise and they didnt care and said they have never had leaking issues....ahhh they obviously dont look at their reviews online as all I can see is bad reviews about how they leak! Show details

I wouldn't recommend these – I was recommended these bottles by my health nurse for my prem baby, so during the month of September I went and bought 7 of them from baby kingdom. These bottles cost a fortune and I was ok with that because the premmie teeth is fantastic for my baby BUT; The leaking is unbearable especially when I'm out in public, it frustrates me and causes baby to get upset whilst I'm trying to fix the problem. Very disappointed with this product!! Show details

Waste of money they leak! – To begin with great but after about 2mths they leak! Was a horrible experience as I had to express then feed my EBM to my baby and the bottle would leak and I would loose my 3hours hard work expresses milk! She was premi and I had very little milk so this was a nightmare for me! Show details

Terrible bottles. Leaks and more leaks – I had heard so many people talk about how these bottles were perfect for babies with wind problems and so I got them for my son. Well all I can say is I have almost lost my patience with them. My son is almost 6m old and I long for the time when he no longer needs bottles. I personally feel they did nothing to help with any wind issues he had and… Read more

they leaked!! some night feeds when I would keep the room as dark as possible i wouldn’t notice the bottle leaking until it was too late and both he & I would be soaked from the leaking milk. If it didn’t leak whilst he was feeding when I would set the bottle down to wind my son the milk would be running out from the rim. I thought this was possibly a result of continuously been steamed in the electric steriliser but I have heard a lot of reports from others about their bottles leaking also. Not impressed with these bottles whatever for how expensive they are! Do not buy!!

Life saver – Been using narrow neck bottles for few weeks now. Have been so fantastic. My 3 month old baby was only drinking 30-40 mls before crying in pain, she started refusing bottles. I tried 4 different bottles before finding this one. No more tears or stress at feeding time, she drinks all her milk and doesn’t get much wind at all. Fantastic bottles. I’m not sure about the leaking others mention, mine don’t leak at all. Well worth the money.

Leak, Leak, Leak – i'm using Dr. Brown's Natural Flow bottles for couple of month and no doubt this product help my baby. since its time to change for new bottle so i bought the new type "green vent" but the bottles leaks all over my hand and everywhere/terribly either while baby sucking or finish milk and leave it aside.

Not right for our baby – I'm dissatisfied with this product, unfortunately these bottles have done nothing to help my baby with wind/colic problems using the options/ vent system attached and may be the cause of her problems as she has had these bottles from week one. The teats can become blocked quite regularly and if there is no vent system attached the bottles do leak.

Not impressed – The bottles leak terribly and our little one got so upset because it was sooooo hard to suck the milk out. He is having expressed breast milk. After a frustrating hour we got more milk and put it in the Avent and he was frantic and gulped away. Unfortunately neither helped his colic. I then cleaned the bottle and put warm water in it and tried it.… Read more

It was really difficult to get anything out of it - I'm not sure how a baby is supposed to manage this??

Read the instructions and they work as stated – Tried many anti gas bottles, Philips Advent, Tommy Tippy, and others to no avail, this Dr Brown bottle worked. 7 week old was up most of the time with clenched fists, hard tummy, grunting and grizzling, a day of these bottles and he's much happier, no leaks or other problems people have mentioned, read the instructions, or download easier to read… Read more

instructions from their website, very important or you will have leaky bottles. The tube inside lets air into the bottle via holes near the neck, you must have the parts connected properly and the bottle tilted at least 45 degrees, don't let the baby finish the milk, keep a small amount in the teat so he/she doesn't suck air in. It is quite simple and certainly worth the little effort to read the instructions.

Made colic worse – Purchased these bottles in an attempt to help my son with his colic and excessive wind problem. They are the worst bottles I’ve come across. After one use, his wind intake from them was the worst I’ve ever seen, to the point where he spent the remainder of the day screaming for an hour at a time with wind pain. We are going back to using Nuk… Read more

bottles, as they seem to be the right one for my son. I would not recommend Dr Brown’s bottles based on my experience with them.

Love them...But – I have used the wide neck DBB since day 1 with my daughter and love them, never had a problem except occassional leak However, i bought the narrow neck ones with stage 2 teat and they're shocking! So many bubbles, thought the idea was no bubbles? Also they leak everywhere,Waste of money and really disappointed , just bought stage 2 teats for my wide necks and will continue to just use them

Has a number of problems for the high price you pay – I purchased 6 of the Dr Brown's Natural Flow bottles and have the same problems as everyone else - they leak. This was not the biggest problem however. I have found that the measurements on the side of the bottles are all rubbing off! I contact DBB and they were very helpful and sent x2 replacement bottles but it's now happening to the other 4. No… Read more

point in re-ordering as the same thing will keep happening.

If you purchase this particular style bottle - be prepared to keep replacing them and we all know that for the price you pay, this should not be happening!

Terrible – the worse bottles I've used....and I'm a mother for the third time, so I can telll you I've used different of bottles. I would not advise anyone to buy these bottles...leaking everywhere and certainly did not reduce the risk of colic for my son. very disappointment in this product and I certainly would not advise anyone to buy this product.

I love Dr Brown's Bottles !! – My first choice of bottles after i had my baby and the best choice ever! I tell all my family and friends about Dr Brown's bottles im really a huge fan, my baby is 5 months and never had colic. I will be purchasing these bottles for my future kids

Dr Browns narrow neck 2 pack bottles – Pros- less colic pain for babies. Best bottle I have used thus far. Cons- bottle can't handle very hot water. It leaks. So keep the lid open when you re warming it in hot water for already made feeds. Clear bottle blue writing fades away eventually after sterilisation. So I bought limited edition pink bottles with volume markings in built with the bottle. However the markings are same colour as bottle and hard to read.

Sometimes that works but doesn't at the same time – My baby happened to be the lucky colic baby. I have tried every bottle brand and so far these are the best when it comes to his cramps and winds.... HOWEVER no matter the wide neck or narrow neck I still sit with the leaking of the bottles which makes sure I have to change my baby after almost every feed due to all the milk running out of the… Read more

bottle.... I have tried different positions for the filters and still nothing helps.... regarding the amount you pay for these bottles its sad specially when they actually work.

Leaks EVERY SINGLE TIME!!!! – I've owned 4 Dr Brown's bottles, option, wide neck and standard narrow neck. THEY ALL LEAK!!! Standard narrow neck leaks the most, every single time. I know when the milk is hot the pressure inside make the milk goes up in the vent. I always loosen the cap to make share milk inside the vent doesn't go up too high. But it still leaks while DS is… Read more

drinking, leaks all over my hand and on DS!!! It drives me crazy and it couldn't be any more frustrated when you're feeding your baby during middle of the night. It might help with colic, but the mess it makes definitely outweighs its pros.

Great for my tongue/lip tied baby! – My lactation consultant recommended these bottles for my then 4 week old lip/tongue tied baby as we had to wait over a month for her corrective surgery. She had difficulties feeding from normal bottles and terrible wind/tummy pain. After the first feed I noticed the difference. Her little mouth fits over the teat very well, her wind/tummy… Read more

pains have eased significantly too!

Easy to clean. I noticed some people say the bottles leak - if the lid is screwed on quite firmly this doesn't happen.

Very happy with this product!

Seemed to help with colic – My son suffered with colic, after reading reviews we purchased these bottles. I think they definately helped with the colic (in conjunction with Wilby's Colic Mixture - see my review). My son was able to feed easier because the air was released at the bottom of the bottle. As a few other people mentioned, the bottles did leak at times which was a bit painful. Two extra pieces to clean, but worth it.

It's leaking after been use for two months – Waste the money for standard narrow neck bottle. It's leaking just after two month when I feeding Him. Customer service is so poorly :( they don't want to know about their faulty products. I am NOT recommend the Dr Brown narrow neck bottle. Now I have to buy different bottle, I will go for Comotomo bottle.... Not Dr Brown bottle again.

We love our Dr Brown's bottles – We love our Dr. Brown's bottles They have made a huge improvement in our babys wind issues. I will only ever use Dr.Brown's I wish I had knew about before the birth of my son. I don't find the parts a problem to clean at all as if they give my son relief ill clean bottles till the cows come home. We haven't had any issues with leaks,… Read more

follow the instructions and you will have no problem.

Keep in mind I don't think any wind,gas & colic relief product cures the problem 100% but I know

Dr. Brown's has made a huge improvement in conjunction with other methods of wind relief.

Unfortunately dissapointed – After reading numerous reviews on these bottles I was hopeful that they would help my baby. The concept is sound - I believe the bottle did make a slight difference with his reflux - but they leak a lot, not just when you mix up the formula in them but also when he pulls away from the bottle when he's in the middle of eating for a breather/break… Read more

the milk just streams down his chin. I have since bought another brand of bottle hoping it will be just as good if not better for his reflux minus all the leaking (and parts - this bottle has so many parts).

Excellent for Reflux Baby – These bottles were very good to use for my baby who was diagnosed with reflux at a young age, and who was quite a gulper when drinking from a bottle. I bought a few packets of Premmie teats to use with them as I found the slow teats were too fast for my baby. I also bought the Dr Browns microwave steam steriliser to fit them in. I found the… Read more

bottles easy to wash and sterilise. They were a bit taller than normal bottles, so didn't fit into the bottle compartment in my nappy bag, which wasn't really a problem. After a year of constant use the blue graphic on the outside of the bottle started to come off and the valve part looked like it was deteriorating a bit. I just switched back to regular bottles that I already had, as my baby was much better at drinking. Excellent for a baby with reflux. Stopped gulping and gagging. Much smoother drinking action. Only available from certain retailers, quite far from where I live.

Always using this brand – Thank God, we tried this products. We were not sure at the beginning, but lucky they provide sample. And it's working for us. Our bub has less burb and less choking too. We tried Nuk and Avent, but our bub kept choking due to their wide bottle neck. Their customer service is good too. We bought them from Subiaco stores nearby St John of God.… Read more

Unfortunately, they're clearing out their stocks and no longer sell this product. Less choking, less burb More parts to clean, but it's okay.

No Colic no crying baby – This is the best bottle that I had found on the market, My oldest was all the time crying because she was colic and wind on her tummy after trying with the Avent natural flow a friend recommended the Dr Brown's, it wasn't easy to found it 3 year ago but I finally found it, bought to start one and try, the next day I've bought 5 big ones and 3… Read more

small ones with all the range of tits my 3 daughters had use them since.

In our last visit to USA 2 years ago I went to Walmart and what a surprise when I saw the price of a bottle only US$6 and replacement tits only $3 (including taxes) when here in Australia I've paid $15 for the bottle and $9 for the replacement tits (what a shame that here we have to pay more), well I did a big shop at Walmart and I've got replacement tits and dummies.

Any way I would recommend this bottles they are the best to avoid upset tummies and restless babies.
