Baby Products Reviews of Dr. Brown's 8 oz. Natural Flow Wide Neck Bottle, 3 Pack
Customer Review: Dr. recommended - Mommy approved !!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
My husband, a Dr., did 6 mos. of research on bottles alone before our first child was born. I think he quizzed every nursery, NICU, L&D and any other nurse who either worked with babies or was a grandmother! (Not to mention almost every pediatrician!) He estimated he questioned about 150-200 people total and only 12 had ever heard of them, but all of them used Dr. Brown's. Including my cousin whose then newborn son had a cleft palate. Out of the rest the 1st place went to a five letter brand - A _ _ _ t. He insisted that we try them but just like most new mommies I wanted to use what a vast majority of the other mommies were using - "the other brand". We used "the other brand" for three weeks and my daughter would spit up after every other bottle and have horrible gas constantly. I finally gave in and he proudly rushed to get Dr. Brown's. Needless to say she never had another problem - not one! My cousin also waited until I gave up using the others to tell me that her son reduced his gas and spitup by 75%! My husband tells everyone expecting about Dr. Brown's and our personal experience. He has even had some of the nurses and other Dr.'s tell him that they switched. (The word under the table is that most of the others at the hospital that used "the other brands" have switched and love them also!) Lesson learned- I guess he can be right...this time.Customer Review: Expensive but worth it
Summary: 5 Stars
About 2 months ago my daughter (4 mo old) starting spitting/ vomiting after each feeding. She was colicky in the evenings, at times, but each episode scared her. I took her to the Dr. and he said it was immature reflux and she'd grow out of it by 6 mo. and to feed her upright, and keep her upright afterwards for 30 to 45 minutes. Yea right - she would want to eat then sleep and she only slept 45 minutes at a time there for awhile. It got to the point that she didn't want to feed, but would. All my friends had different suggestions and I tried all the other bottles Avent/ Parent's Choice/ Playtex, Gerber/ Evenflo etc. Then I saw an advertisment and bought one 4 oz bottle thinking - no way it can work. Well work it did. I bought a 3 pack of 8 oz bottles and some cereal nipples. We recently had to take an emergency trip back home (4000 miles away round trip) and I left the Dr. Brown's at home - big mistake. She spit the entire time we were gone. When we got home I used the Dr. Brown's and she hasn't spit since. I showed my Dr. the other day and he thought they were the best invented bottle he'd seen. I've got 4 kids, tried every bottle through the years (oldest is 13)and I won't use another kind. They don't take any longer to clean than the others, and as long as you don't go past the fill line you won't leak. These bottles might be more expensive, but they are worth it.Customer Review: We're Satisfied.
Summary: 5 Stars
During the first two months after the birth of our baby boy, we selected the Avent 4-ounce bottles and nipples. However, our boy's growing needs now exceeds the bottle's capacity. It was time to move to a larger 8-ounce bottle. My wife was talking to a friend and she suggested the Dr. Brown's Natural Flow wide neck bottle which she recommended highly. We bought a three pack for trial. We both like these new bottles. I like the fit and feel in my hand. My wife praises the inner gizmo and says it gives the baby less gas to deal with. Hmmmm. Well, we do have a somewhat gaseous baby and he releases such gases at both ends. Just like Daddy, my wife remarked.
I do most of the feeding with the bottle. I like the new larger bottle and it's indentations fit the hand well. With regard to the less gas claim, I can't see much of a difference. I still burp him and he can still usually get off a couple pretty good belches after feeding. I don't mind. I'm trying to improve his tone and volume. As he gets a little older, I'll see if I can get him to burp his ABCs. With regard to leakage of gas from the other end, I can't see a difference here either. The guy is just gaseous, but I don't see that it's doing him any harm, other than embarrassing guests. All in all, I'd say these bottles are fine and I prefer them over the Avents.

Customer Review: Great Bottles--little Gas!
Summary: 5 Stars
I started out breatfeeding my newborn and never thought of even needing bottles, but the first night when my milk wasn't there, we needed a bottle. We had received some Avent as gifts so we used those which were OK but we had to burb about every 1/2 oz, so after reading a lot of the reviews we switched to Dr. Browns and had much better luck. We now burp him about 2 times for a 6oz feed (he's 3 mos now). The #1 nipples worked great with a newborn with less "mouth mess" than the Avents.
We started on the 4 oz but now e eats more than that and we use the 8oz wide bottles (easier to heat in most bottle warmers). We haven't had the need to replace any parts including the nipples which we will be replacing soon only to move up to a #2 size.
They do leak if you heat a sealed bottle the pressure will cause the milk to rise up in the tube--to fix this just slightly unscrew the bottle before heating and then tighten before feeding. And they wash fine in the dishwasher (you can sanitize them afterwards if your diswasher doesn't get hot enough)-and they are relatively easy to clean by hand unless you are using breastmilk--the fat does tend to stick to the small parts making them harder to clean unless they are rinsed immediately (again the dishwasher solves this problem).
I really love them and will use them again with our second child.
Customer Review: Very good bottles!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought those bottles, and though they require some extra work as far as the cleaning and the assembling is concerned, they were very good with gas!
Yes, they sometimes leak, but so does every bottle on the market,believe me, I tried them all, particularly Avent!
I don't know if you can do something for your gassy baby, but I definitely don't understand all this hype about Avent bottles, for instance. They seem, as my mom put it, as any regular bottle, they don't seem to filter the gas at all.
It might be that my baby is less gassy than others and I am blessed ( but I wake every two hours to feed my baby girl, so there, you have it!)but at least they attempt to, because they look more different than others.
Playtex weren't bad either, but Avent, come on?! Just regular "European" bottles! I come from Europe, so try harder to impress me!
The Dr. Brown's bottles are very easy to hold, esp. during the night, they are good with gas, or at least attempt to, nicely built and leak less than other! The shape of the nipple is the one that ressemble the most, I would say, to the shape of the breast nipple! Only by buying them, you can decide if they work for you or not!
But it worked for us, it seems logical for the babies to be less gassy since these bottles come with a filter for air!!!
