Customer Reviews

When my son was born, we tried sampling bottles from several different manufacturers, including Evenflo, Triflow, Avent, etc. Dr Brown's bottles really are the best in preventing gas, bottle leakage, and flow problems. We ended up throwing all other bottles away. I had read other reviews about the small parts being difficult to wash, but I don't really have a problem with that. We don't have a dishwasher and I end up hand washing everything. Each set of bottles comes with a tiny brush for getting into the small spaces for the inner parts to the bottles; and a regular bottle brush works fine with the bottles themselves. I can wash and fill 9 bottles in under 20 minutes (perfect timing when putting my son down for a nap). As to some reviewers complaints about leakage, it's true that if the inner tube gets full sometimes the milk can leak out the top - but this has only happened rarely and I've found that if I unscrew the cap and pull out the inner tube then put the tube back in (basically reassembling the bottle), the problem is resolved. The adjustment takes less than a minute and like I said, I've only had it happen once or twice. Otherwise the bottles, nipples and all the parts are really durable - especially the nipples. When we first bought the bottles, we bought all these replacement nipples in level 1 and ended up returning them because we never needed them. So, my only suggestions are
1. hold off on buying extra nipples to see if you really need them (or at least don't open the package until you need to) and
2. to bypass getting 4 oz bottles and go right for the 8 oz bottles. We started off with the 4 oz bottles and now, at 3 months old, our son is already up to 6 oz at a feeding. So, we had to pack away the 4oz bottles and go out and buy a bunch of the larger size.

I love the Dr. Brown bottles. I just want to recommend you to get the regular bottle rather than the wide neck one.
To save time, we got the wide-neck bottle in thinking that it could be cleaned better in dishwasher than the standard longer 8-oz Dr. Brown bottles. But I found my son has a hard time with the wide-neck's nipple. I guess some baby may like the very long nipple shape. But my son found it confusing because he tried to put the whole thing in his mouth as he did to other bottles, but his mouth was too small for the big part. (When we tried Avent's bottle earlier, he had no problem with it. But there are bubbles with Avent's bottle. So I don't recommend Avent.) Therefore, it would take him a longer time to drink the milk with the wide neck bottle than from the standard shaped one.
The other reason I recommend the standard shape is because it is "standard" shaped, you can use other brand's accessories on them directly. For example, I attached my Medela breast pump directly on the Dr. Brown bottle to wash one fewer bottle. I also found a more convenient way to mix formular rather than using the little plastic piece came along in the package --When I was released from the hospital, I got some Similac breastmilk storage bottle. I simply use those Similac bottle cap for the standard-shaped Dr. Brown bottle to make my formula. I lost all these "perks" with the wide-neck set.
For the above reasons, I quickly abandoned the wide-neck set, and purchased another set of the standard shaped 8oz bottle, and am still very happy with those bottles, and would recommend those with no hesitation.
