Natural Flow Anti-Colic Options+ Narrow Baby Bottle, 8 oz/250 mL, with Level 1 Slow Flow Nipples, 0m+, 4 Pack

Excellent Bottles for Newborns! These Dr. Brown’s Natural Flow bottles have been a great choice for my baby. The slow-flow nipple is perfect for newborns, and the anti-colic design helps reduce gas and fussiness after feedings. They are easy to clean, durable, and leak-free when assembled correctly. My baby transitioned to them with no issues, and feeding time has been much smoother. Highly recommended for parents looking for reliable, high-quality baby bottles.

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!

These bottles are awesome! We've tried other brands like Philips Advent and my daughter hated them and she would get so much trapped gas she would be in so much pain. The vent system helps SIGNIFICANTLY with limiting her trapped gas! The travel cap is also a nice add on for traveling with the bottles so they don't spill everywhere in the diaper bag. The 3 annoying things are they're annoying to clean with all the parts, they leak and I have not been able to figure out why, and after a lot of sterilizing the vent tube can start to bend (but it still works!). We got pink because another kid at her daycare uses the same bottles so it was easier for thr daycare to distinguish between her bottles and his bottles.

I have the blue, nature ones and I love how cute they are! Functionality wise they are fantastic! The only bottle we tried that actually made my baby comfortable with minimal gas. So many other bottles require such a wide latch and she has always been pretty tiny so she couldn't get her mouth around the larger bottle nipples. She used the preemie nipples for about 6 months and then has been using the size 1 and will continue as she is nearing a year old. Are there a lot of parts? Yes but it is well worth it for my baby not crying and gaining weight. I have also never had any issues with leaking other than when I fill it above the line or the straw does not have access to air (make sure it is not completely in the milk).

I tried several bottle brands with my baby, and this was the one he accepted the best. At first, I thought it would be difficult to clean and assemble because it has many parts. It does take a little extra time to wash, but it is worth it. The anti-colic system seems to work well, and my baby feeds comfortably with it I also like that it is made of plastic because it is lightweight, durable, and easy to handle. It has held up well with daily use and gives me peace of mind when taking it on the go. If my baby likes it, then I like it too!

As a new parent, Dr. Brown's Natural Flow Anti-Colic bottles have been a lifesaver for feeding our baby. After trying a few different bottle brands, these have proven to be the best choice for our newborn. Anti-Colic System Works: The internal vent system truly makes a difference. Our baby has noticeably less gas and fussiness after feedings compared to when we used regular bottles. The design helps reduce air intake, which means fewer uncomfortable tummy issues and less spit-up. This has been especially important during those late-night feedings when dealing with a gassy, uncomfortable baby is the last thing you want. Narrow Nipple Design: The Options+ narrow nipple is perfect for newborns. It mimics natural breastfeeding and our baby took to it immediately without confusion. The slow flow rate is ideal for a newborn's feeding pace, preventing them from getting overwhelmed or choking. Easy to Clean: Yes, there are more parts to wash compared to simpler bottles, but it's worth it for the anti-colic benefits. The pieces come apart easily and can go in the dishwasher. Once you get into a routine, cleaning them becomes second nature. I prep multiple bottles at once to make nighttime feedings smoother. Quality Construction: The bottles feel well-made and durable. The markings are clear and easy to read when preparing formula in dim lighting during night feedings. The narrow design also makes them easier to hold, especially during those middle-of-the-night feedings when you're exhausted. 8 oz Size: The 8 oz/250 ml capacity is great because it grows with your baby. Right now our newborn doesn't drink nearly this much, but it's nice knowing we won't need to buy bigger bottles as they grow. No Leaks: When assembled correctly, these bottles don't leak. The seal is tight and reliable, which is important when you're heating bottles or carrying them in a diaper bag. BPA-Free: Peace of mind knowing these are BPA-free and safe for our baby. Works Well with Formula: We primarily use formula, and these bottles work perfectly. The vent system helps with mixing and prevents excessive bubbles in the formula. Worth the Investment: Dr. Brown's bottles are more expensive than basic bottles, but they're absolutely worth it. Reducing colic symptoms and having a happier, more comfortable baby is priceless. We've actually saved money by not having to buy gas relief drops as frequently. Highly recommend these bottles to any parent, especially if your baby struggles with gas or colic. They've made feeding time much more pleasant for both our baby and us.

Overall we like these bottles. However, they do tend to leak. Also, there are a lot of parts to the bottle that take up time for washing.

I can’t recommend Dr. Brown's AntiColic 8 oz Plastic Bottles enough! These bottles have been a lifesaver for both me and my baby, providing the perfect combination of functionality, convenience, and comfort. Here’s why they’ve become a staple in our daily routine: Colic & Gas Relief: The AntiColic vent system in these bottles works wonders for reducing my baby’s gas and colic symptoms. Before switching to these, we were dealing with a lot of discomfort and crying after feedings. Since we’ve made the switch, I’ve noticed a significant reduction in gassiness and spit-up. The vent system helps to keep air from mixing with the milk, which minimizes the amount of air my baby swallows, resulting in less discomfort. BPA-Free & Safe Material: I appreciate that these bottles are BPA-free and made from safe, durable plastic. As a parent, knowing that the material is non-toxic gives me peace of mind every time I feed my baby. The plastic is lightweight, which makes them easy to handle and carry, especially during late-night feedings. Ease of Cleaning: I was initially intimidated by the venting system, thinking it would be a hassle to clean, but I was pleasantly surprised! The bottles come apart easily, and I can quickly wash the parts by hand or in the dishwasher. The small vent components can be tricky, but they’re designed to be easy to clean with a bottle brush. I’ve had no issues with buildup or mold, as long as I dry everything thoroughly. Bottle Design & Flow: The design is great—ergonomic and easy for both me and my baby to handle. The 8 oz size is perfect for my little one as she’s growing. The nipple flow is just right for her age, and I love that Dr. Brown’s offers different nipple flows to accommodate different stages of feeding. I’ve had no problems with leaking or spilling, and the bottles fit well in both my hand and the bottle warmer. Comfort for Baby: The nipple design mimics the breast, which has made the transition between breastfeeding and bottle-feeding a lot smoother for us. My baby latches on easily, and the slow flow nipple prevents her from drinking too fast, which has helped reduce her gagging. She seems comfortable and content during feedings, which is a win for us both. Perfect For: Parents dealing with gassy or colicky babies Breastfed babies transitioning to bottles Families looking for a high-quality, safe, and effective bottle Parents who want a bottle that’s easy to clean and maintain Final Thoughts: The Dr. Brown’s AntiColic 8 oz Plastic Bottles are an absolute must-have for any parent dealing with gas, colic, or feeding challenges. They’re easy to use, clean, and they’ve really helped improve my baby’s feeding experience. The vent system works as advertised, reducing discomfort and making feedings much more enjoyable for both of us. If you’re struggling with colic or simply want a high-quality bottle for your baby, I highly recommend these!

Pretty bottles. Makes a change from the standard bottles.

What I dislike about this bottle is that it leaks sometimes other than that, it's an okay brand

good

Están muy bonitos , pero cuando el bibi se queda de lado se tira en la tapa es lo único que no me gusta , tienes que mantener el biberón parado por qué si sigue con leche y se cae de lado se tira la leche 😩 pero me encantan

Because the whole is too small, it keeps getting blocked, I only tried it with brest milk, I never used other preemie niples before so not sure if this is a common problem with other brands too
