Baby Products Reviews of Dr. Brown's 8 oz. Natural Flow Wide Neck Bottle, 3 Pack
Customer Review: Great bottle - MESSY LEAKS!
Summary: 1 Stars
I had purchased the Dr. Brown bottles after the birth of my boy/girl twins in hopes of helping my son with his gasiness. They did help ease his suffering but he was also put on soy which seemed to help the most. By this point, both babies had become attached to these bottles and wouldn't use anything else.
At first I thought I must be doing something wrong for them to continually leak, and sometimes POUR out of the rim of the bottle. (I have a total of 4 kids and have been through lots of different types of bottles, none this bad!) We tried Everthing to stop the leaks -
*using only all dry parts for each new bottle
*not heating or storing in the fridge with the valve and stem inside
*not overfilling
After an entire year of frustration with these leaking bottles I noticed that when my son would hold it by the nipple or squeeze the nipple, that milk would come pouring down the sides! Finally, the answer to the leaks!!!
Is truly a great idea and I hope they try to perfect it, but these have a MAJOR DESIGN FLAW - and babies drenched with formula in the middle of the night is no fun. These items were meant for baby use, and for the price it should help make babies' & mom's life easier.
Stick with Avent or Playtex with liners. Thank you & Good Luck!
Customer Review: BEST BABA FOR BABY
Summary: 5 Stars
My baby's pediatrician recommended this bottle to me and it truly is a bubble and air free experience for your little one. He no longer gushes out formula and kicks his legs in pain due to gas. In response to the Moms who say they still had trouble with spitting up on Dr. Brown bottles: Did you have the wide neck bottles or the standard size bottle? The nipples are a little slower on the wideneck and my baby seems to take that nipple speed much better. He cannot keep up with the tall thin bottle nipples because they flow much too quickly. As fast as the formula goes in, the formula comes out. Depending on how hard and fast your baby sucks, you'll have to try both kinds of bottles with different nipples to find which one suits your baby. My baby is also on a specialized formula called Neocate that is a little grainier than most formula and with the Avent and playtex, sometimes the powder would get stuck in the nipple and baby couldn't eat. Fortunately I found these bottles and nipples to save me and baby!
And one more thing...mix the formula in a shaker, not in the bottle...this will help with gas (that is stated in the directions)and with the powder sticking in the nipple. Yes they are apain to clean, but worth the hassle for baby's sake!
Customer Review: Great bottles
Summary: 4 Stars
We've been using these since my son was 3 days old and have never had a problem with spitting up or excessive gas pain. I received a set of 3 at my baby shower (I hadn't even registered for them). During the first couple of days my son was home, we were still using the pre-filled Enfamil bottles from the hospital. Every time I laid my son down, he got fussy. I could burp him & he'd be fine for a while but it just seemed like he had to be burped all the time. We started using the Dr. Brown bottles and could tell a difference immediately. Yes, they are a little more time-consuming to clean but having a happy baby is well worth the effort. A dishwasher basket helps a lot with the cleaning. I just throw the collar & insert into the bottom of the basket, put the nipples on the top of the basket (which is designed to hold nipples) and put the stem part in the silverware basket.
The only problem I have is with the way they're packaged. The 8 oz Wide Neck should be sold with EITHER Level 1 or Level 2 nipples. We just bought another 3 pack AND had to spend an additional $4.00 on Level 2 nipples for them - the Level 1 that came with the bottle are basically worthless to us now. That's the only reason I'd rate this product as a 4 instead of a 5.
Customer Review: glad i tried the wide necks...
Summary: 5 Stars
I wrote a review the other day as i was ordering more of the 8oz standard dr browns bottles and advised how wonderful i thought those were. i did not know there were wide neck versions of dr browns until i saw them online that day. i decided not to order them at that time because there were some bad reviews about the nipple and leaking, etc. well i really liked the design of the wide neck bottle and decided to try them anyway a few days later. i am glad i did, i am so happy with them that i exchanged the 8 oz standard bottles for 8 oz wide neck bottles. my baby has an easier time with this nipple and is finishing more formula faster than with the standard size. the wider nipple base keeps her from putting the whole thing in her mouth and she is spilling less out the sides of her mouth. the wide neck bottles fit in the diaper bag better and its easier to pour formula into them. i have not had any problems with leaks (read the directions that come with the bottles). i recommend both styles of dr browns bottles as they truly do eliminate the gas and colic, you just have to try both styles to see which nipple works best for your baby. i used the standard ones for 2 months and cannot complain, but i do like the wide ones better now having tried them.Customer Review: Better Than Standard for Small Microwaves
Summary: 5 Stars
I love all the Dr. Brown's bottles. My son has never had any problems with colic, excessive spit up or gas. I attribute this to these bottles. He was even great on these when switching between bottle and breast - no problems. When I had to use other bottles in a pinch, he wasn't happy eating.
Our microwave is too small to warm the standard 8 ounce in. The wide neck, 8 ounce bottles are perfect. They achieve exactly what I need them to in all areas.
The only cons about Dr. Brown's bottles are that our son has a hard time feeding from any other bottle. This bottle is so effective that on the occasions he has used different bottles, he didn't know to let go to let air fill up the bottom of the bottle. It was frustrating, and we had to keep breaking the seal in his mouth for him. If you're going to use Dr. Brown's, stick to these bottles only. Also, the nipple on the wide neck is different from standard, and it takes baby a few feedings with the new nipple to get used to it. Additionally, if any of the Dr. Brown's bottles are not assembled correctly and the collar isn't on tight enough they will leak. There are additional parts that need to be cleaned, but its well worth it!
I'd never buy another brand!
