Dr. Brown's Natural Flow Anti-Colic Options+ Narrow Baby Bottle, 4 oz/120 mL, with Level 1 Slow Flow Nipple, 0m+, 4 Bottles

I can’t recommend Dr. Brown's AntiColic 8 oz Plastic Bottles enough! These bottles have been a lifesaver for both me and my baby, providing the perfect combination of functionality, convenience, and comfort. Here’s why they’ve become a staple in our daily routine:Colic & Gas Relief:The AntiColic vent system in these bottles works wonders for reducing my baby’s gas and colic symptoms. Before switching to these, we were dealing with a lot of discomfort and crying after feedings. Since we’ve made the switch, I’ve noticed a significant reduction in gassiness and spit-up. The vent system helps to keep air from mixing with the milk, which minimizes the amount of air my baby swallows, resulting in less discomfort.BPA-Free & Safe Material:I appreciate that these bottles are BPA-free and made from safe, durable plastic. As a parent, knowing that the material is non-toxic gives me peace of mind every time I feed my baby. The plastic is lightweight, which makes them easy to handle and carry, especially during late-night feedings.Ease of Cleaning:I was initially intimidated by the venting system, thinking it would be a hassle to clean, but I was pleasantly surprised! The bottles come apart easily, and I can quickly wash the parts by hand or in the dishwasher. The small vent components can be tricky, but they’re designed to be easy to clean with a bottle brush. I’ve had no issues with buildup or mold, as long as I dry everything thoroughly.Bottle Design & Flow:The design is great—ergonomic and easy for both me and my baby to handle. The 8 oz size is perfect for my little one as she’s growing. The nipple flow is just right for her age, and I love that Dr. Brown’s offers different nipple flows to accommodate different stages of feeding. I’ve had no problems with leaking or spilling, and the bottles fit well in both my hand and the bottle warmer.Comfort for Baby:The nipple design mimics the breast, which has made the transition between breastfeeding and bottle-feeding a lot smoother for us. My baby latches on easily, and the slow flow nipple prevents her from drinking too fast, which has helped reduce her gagging. She seems comfortable and content during feedings, which is a win for us both.Perfect For:Parents dealing with gassy or colicky babiesBreastfed babies transitioning to bottlesFamilies looking for a high-quality, safe, and effective bottleParents who want a bottle that’s easy to clean and maintainFinal Thoughts:The Dr. Brown’s AntiColic 8 oz Plastic Bottles are an absolute must-have for any parent dealing with gas, colic, or feeding challenges.

The product speaks for itself, but these are the best bottles we’ve used as far as air intake, they are a great value for the price , my son can hold them easily. I will say the only down side is it has so many parts to clean and keep up with!

Dr Brown’s bottles, in general, are great!! Each one, however, is slightly different and overall I prefer the Options, even though my baby is not old enough to use valve-less. I have the original (terrible at spills, because the white cap in the shape of a top hat, sort of, doesn’t stop any liquid at all; they have clear bottles, blue tubies, and whitish valves). I have 4oz blue Options (great, easy parts, thumb print on the lid is awesome for popping that sucker off, and the lid also has these bumps that line up with the nipple, where it slows down the leaking of liquids, and keeps the leak in the cap, although given the ease of taking the cap off, it can still get really messy). (Sorry for the run on sentences, I’m a sleep deprived mama!!) I have the 4oz pink Options (similar to the blue, but actually the valve fits very snuggly along with the tubey part into the bottle, so that can be handy when trying to put the bottle together or add formula, while also holding a baby - more stable than any of the other bottles, where the tubey/valve pieces are just loose kind of sitting on top of the bottle; similar cap as the blue, but no thumb print, and harder to get the cap off, especially one handed). Lastly, I have the 8oz Options with plain bottles and with the Dream/Adventure and Animal characters, all with the green valves and tubies, and the similar cap to the blue, except they are clear, thumbprint included! These have been great, and the animal characters are super cute; the ‘dream big’ and ‘adventure awaits’ are cute-meh. The only thing I was disappointed in that set, is that half the bottles had characters, and half were plain. I may be off on the count, because I bought two sets, but I remember being bummed that I paid a premium for cuteness, and didn’t get a full set of cuteness! I do not own, but have used some purple wide bottles that I was loaned while traveling. That was great, so I wouldn’t have to carry a bunch of bottles, but I wouldn’t/didn’t buy them; they’re just too wide for my taste, harder to handle, especially one handed, and I didn’t feel the wide nipple was significantly better for my baby girl. I will address two of the main two complaints I’ve seen about Dr. Brown’s: leaking and too many parts to clean! Leaking, yes, totally a thing, but it does in fact say on the bottle to only fill to X line to avoid leaking! Having said that, it is very hard for my brain to perfectly calculate how much water I need for the formula, where I don’t end up exceeding the volume specified on ghe bottle! I personally don’t think it’s a huge issue. I know it’s going to or probably will, leak, given the liquid in the bottle, and what I do is to keep a cloth or bib under the bottle when she first starts drinking, and after the liquid is down a bit, I just open the bottle up and pull the valve/tubey piece up a bit, and several big drops come flying down the side of the bottle, which I just wipe off with the same bib/cloth. I can immediately get the bottle put back together before my daughter complains too terribly much. Remember, this is only an issue when you’re filling the entire bottle, either 4oz or 8, so at that point the baby is a bit older and can hopefully handle the briefest of pauses without too much of an issue. If my daughter were the type to go full on nuclear melt down, I think I would probably have to be more diligent about staying under the line, and offering more milk, once the bottle’s finished, and a fuller belly is less likely to melt down. Ok, regarding too many parts to clean... there’s what? Two extra parts that other bottles don’t have? Meh. But I will totally recommend getting the Dr Brown’s dishwasher baskets!!! Oh. Dude. Awesome sauce, life-saving, yes. I am very green, sustainable oreinted, so I cringe at how much water I’m consuming running the dishwasher sometimes every day. So not cool. And, I’m also a sole parent, so I gots a lot to take care of, dishwashy basket is a must!! I have 4. : 0 ) I’m not a super fan of washing the nipples in the dishwasher, so I still do those by hand, no biggy. There’s even special baskets for just nipples; someone gave them to me, but no, I no likey since it looks like there’s still a film on the inside.My experience with Dr Brown’s bottles in general, has been awesome! I don’t even remember when I sorta stopped burping my baby (she’s six months now), it just happened organically over time, but when I was burping her (maybe for three months?), she would only have one, maybe two burps. She burps on her own now, but then maybe that’s just her, the point is that there was very little gas! She had a wee bit of reflux as a newborn, but that’s normal I think, what with having an immature gut as a tadpole-baby. I gave her probiotics and kept her upright-ish, and I think the bottles helped. Ultimately, I totally recommend them!! They were recommended to me by my sister, 8 years ago, as my nephew’s salvation, hope they work for you!
