Description of Dr. Brown's 3 Pack BPA Free Polypropylene Bottle, 8 oz
Dr. Brown's Natural Flow BPA-Free 8 oz. Bottle- 3 packDr. Brown's bottles features the Patented Internal Vent System which eliminates the negative pressure and excess air ingestion. This system is the only vent that eliminates the vacuum and the air bubbles found in most baby bottles. It allows air to enter through the nipple collar without being incorporated into the breastmilk or formula. The air is then channeled through the internal vent system to the area above the breastmilk or formula.Baby Products Reviews of Dr. Brown's 3 Pack BPA Free Polypropylene Bottle, 8 oz
Customer Review: I would not recommend to anyone...
Summary: 1 Stars
Don't buy this product!
I have twins and have intimate experience with this product and would not recommend it to anyone.
Overview:
They don't decrease the need to burp due to less air intake during feeding.
10 parts to clean per bottle and you have to hand wash all parts (dishwashing will not get parts clean)!!!!!!!
Cloudy bottles with raised not colored markers: meaning you can't read the measuring markers even in good light.
Here is the deal... the primary advantage of this brand/bottle are they are supposed to cut down on air intake and thus decrease the need to burp... really? With my experience they have failed.
One bottle/feeding, whether it be a feeding when the babies weighed 5 LB's or now that they weigh 20 LB's still requires that we stop and burp them often (three times or more a bottle), which they eagerly and loudly burp (like Barney on the Simpson's "bbbbbbuuurrrrp!") or else the gas gets caught and they throw up formula when they do finally expel the gas. Seems the same as any other bottle and those other brands don't have the other draw backs these have...
Cleaning is a pain in the butt!!!!!!!!
NEVER dish wash these things. DON'T buy those stupid little plastic cages that carry all the parts as all these pieces won't get cleaned properly. There is no being lazy with this system, you HAVE TO HAND WASH every piece. Okay, there are 7 pieces to the system (this includes the cap and travel disc), two of the everyday 7 pieces require you clean them with a pipe cleaner (3 parts to clean with a pipe cleaner and a dish washer is NOT going to get those holes clean). So you add the 7 pieces and the time it takes to clean the 3 holes with a pipe cleaner and I have a count of 10 PIECES TO WASH PER BOTTLE EVERYDAY!!! That is freaking INSANE! So lets do the math... 10 pieces to clean per bottle x's 20 bottles, cleaned once or more a day... you do the math. Yup, you did the math right, that is 200 pieces to clean per bottle per day! Stupid isn't it? All this for a product that is terribly ineffective.
Lastly the annoyance factor, and this was HUGE for me!
Time for a brief history to validate that I know what I am talking about: I am a father of twins that were born premature. Which means we had to continually monitor food intake to ensure the twins ate the appropriate amount of calories. So every feeding, which was every three hours, 24 hours a day for the first four months, had to have a specific amount of fluid in each bottle, then we had to record how much they ate so we could track daily calorie intake. Ya, LOL, THAT is a lot of feeding and a LOT of experience with these bottles.
Before I get into this next segment a quick note: on this listing, at the top left hand side are the option to view four photos of he product, the only photo that clearly and truly represents the cloudy nature of this product is the fourth image by "Mike" of a girl drinking from a bottle. Look at the product that the girl is using and you will note how truly cloudy the bottles are. Okay, onto my last issue with the bottle....
As the twins got older and eating more we migrated from the few glass bottles we had to 8 oz BPA free plastic bottles (since we needed 21 of these bottles we went with plastic instead of glass as we figures the technology was the mechanism and not the container). So now we are using the cloudy PBA free plastic, we still need to monitor the twins intake and record the amount of fluid/food they consume to monitor calories but here is the deal... with these cloudy BPA free plastic bottles it is all but impossible to read the measuring markers. Whether I am trying to read the markers in the well lit kitchen or in the twins room via a night light, I'll say it again, it is all but IMPOSSIBLE TO READ THE MEASURE MARKERS on these bottles.
Imagine, there you are feeding your baby at 3 AM, you are exhausted, your baby has been eating for 15 minutes so you look at the bottle to see if he had eaten the minimum amount as the baby is getting tired but you can't read the markers. So you twist to position yourself near the nightlight so you can view the marker, you still can't make out the marker readings. Now the baby is getting restless and waking up so you settle down, and use your thumb to try and count the raised markers via brail... you are not sure but you think the baby should eat one more once before putting them down again. Okay, repeat this over and over andover again. if you can envision what I am talking about please trust me and know that you will want to throw these ill conceived pieces of crap in the trash immediately!! Not just once but and time and time again... but you don't as you have a good investment in these things! So you think twice. Then you think to warn others....
I even wrote to the maker/manufacturer and complained about the fact they have a design flaw in that the often-used-and-critical-measuring-markers are near impossible to read in any light (since the level indicators are raised, like brail, I literally have to feel for the level indictors then count by touch to know the level remaining in the bottle). A flaw that is an insult to me, a user AND a customer, and that they need to correct. Their pathetic and insulting reply? They could not make the ink stick to the bottles so they went with the raised no colored solution. This is all because of the fact the bottles are PBA free (before they switched to PBA free the bottles had colored markers and clear bottles which were SUPER easy to read). I cry BS to their reply!!!!! Their pretty little logo with all the fine lines and intricate detail sure has not lost a single pixel of paint/color/detail from our daily washing, therefore any color they could have added to the measure markers would have stayed true too. I just hate lazy, lying corporate structures that won't do right by their customer.
So in closing:
They don't decrease the need to burp due to less air intake during feeding.
10 parts to clean per bottle and you have to hand wash all parts (dishwashing will not get parts clean).
Can't read the measuring markers even in good light (I have 20-20 vision)
Lying lazy corporation.
There, I think that covers it. :-) Look for another solution. Despite what others may say, you have been warned.
