Baby Products Reviews of Dr. Brown's 8 oz. Natural Flow Wide Neck Bottle, 3 Pack
Customer Review: Roll bottle upright in your palms when mixing formula to prevent leaks
Summary: 4 Stars
Bought these bottles after bouts of colic with my son. He is now already 14 weeks old. I have been holding off buying these bottles which i have read about due to the fact that i had already invested in avent bottles, sterilisers, etc. (I have about 20 avent bottles which i now regret buying)However I gave in and purchased these after my son's last colic episode which left him crying in pain for 4 hours straight. He had no trouble switching to these bottles and seemed more relaxed at feeding time. I have noticed a difference and the colic has lessened. However, it does take more time and patience in dealing with the cleaning, assembly, and formula mixing required for these bottles.
Nevertheless, I have been able to solve the problem of not being able to shake formula in the bottle by taking the bottle and NOT shaking it, BUT rolling vigorously between my palms while keeping the bottle upright. It does prevent the liquid from travelling up the tube vent which causes the leaks. Of course, this method of mixing formula also takes longer than merely shaking the bottle, but at least i dont have to premake formula nor stir it with a spoon in the bottle which can sonetimes be unsanitary.
Customer Review: Great Venting Bottle, but pain to clean
Summary: 5 Stars
I have used lots of different bottles with my two kids. These bottles were by far the very best at venting to keep the air at a minimum in the babies tummy. Yes, they are a pain to wash but after switching to Evenflo glass bottles due to the plastic bottle scare currently in the news I have had tons of problems with Evenflo nipples. I have bought three different packages and all have at least one defective nipple in the package (they are not venting and the nipple collapes- supposedly they are designed not to do this). Evenflo is supposed to be sending me one replacement package but it still hasnt arrived! I havent told them yet about two more packages of nipples that also contain defective nipples. With all the pains of nipples collapsing while using glass bottles from Evenflo I think I would rather just go through the pain of washing the Dr Browns (our pediatrician said she had no concerns about the plastic bottle scares). I have never had a problem before with nipples collapsing in the Dr Browns or the Avent bottles I have used. Stay away from Evenflo as their Quality Assurance department is not even close to Dr Browns!Customer Review: Improved Mom and Dads Sanity
Summary: 5 Stars
At 4 weeks old, my daughter starting crying incessantly in the evenings for up to 4 hours. As first time parents we were scared that she might have the case of the colic and most literature say not to worry and it would go away by her third month of life. As any parents know, that was not a comforting thought. I thought I tried a couple of different bottles. I was switching between breastfeedng and bottle feeding. Of all the bottles I tried, Dr. Browns bottle is by far superior to the others if you find that your baby is having problems with gas and burping. It definitely helped our baby and her crying definitely decreased. It is definitely worth a try for your child if you are having problems. I bought one 4 oz bottle and within a week found myself only using that bottle to feed her. I now own 4 4oz bottles and 3 8 oz bottles. Leakage will occur if you warm the bottle with the top on. You need to remove the top to allow steam to escape for proper function of the bottle when feeding. Although there are a lot of pieces to clean, I say that it is worth it if it keeps your baby more comfortable and gives you peace of mind.Customer Review: Love these bottles!
Summary: 5 Stars
I tried several different bottles with my daughter and these have worked wonderfully for us. We actually came across them when Walmart stopped carrying the Parent's Choice Anti Colic bottles we had been using which are similar in design.
These bottles really seem to decrease the amount of air my daughter takes in while she's feeding. This is a blessing as she has had problems with gas since birth. She also has reflux. I can't tell you if the bottles are a major factor in her improvement in that area because she is now on meds. However, I have to think they've helped a bit. They are also comfy to hold for me.
I've read a lot of reviews that talk about leaking. I had this problem once and that was because I heated the bottle with the valve system in it. So, I learned to not do so and have not had a problem since.
They are a bit pricy, but I believe that you get what you pay for.
Lastly, I don't think that the small parts are difficult to wash. Yes, it's a bit more time consuming if you don't have a dish washer, but for us, it's been well worth the extra time!
Customer Review: NO MORE GAS!!!
Summary: 4 Stars
My baby had AWEFUL gas when she was first born.... i bought SOOO many different kinds of bottles when breast feeding didnt work out... none of them made any difference. then i finally got these... omg it was like night and day. no more pains, no more crying, no more spitting up etc.... they were GREAT!!! now however, she is 5 months, and not suffering from gas anymore, and im SOOO Sick of cleaning these bottles!!! UGH!!! i use the tiny brush on EVERY speck of the brown part... but there is still slimy yellow stuff. :( i cannot seem to get them CLEAN!! (i dont have a dishwasher) i also saw another review that said you couldnt shake these... i shake them all the time... shake shake shake, mix up the formula, then i loosen the top, so the formula goes back down the straw, then tighten it again, and feed. ive NEVER had it leak on me. all in all... they are great for when baby is small and gassy... but i think as they grow, you get sick of it, and its not as neccessary, now i have to find another good bottle, with a nice fast nipple like these, that is easy to clean. :( avents make her spit up STILL!!!
