- Great Bottle - Problems with leaking? Read on...
- Overall great bottle. Has two internal pieces (along with nipple and cap) so if you are the type of person who does not like to spend an extra 40 seconds cleaning to potentially provide your newborn with greater comfort, do not buy. I've read the 1 star reviews...most of the complaints have to do with leaky bottles. As for the reviews where the bottle did no good or the baby spat up more after a 3 day trial: Can you really determine the effectiveness of the bottle after 3 days of use? Newborns can spit up for a variety of reasons - and I don't believe you can positively say this bottle is no good after 3 days use. As to the leaky bottle - the standard sizes do not really have this problem but the solution is simple. Spend an extra 10 seconds to put it together CAREFULLY, making sure every piece is flush and properly tightened and the leaking goes away. I admit, with the wide necks it can be a bit of a pain - I'm a very detailed person so I never had a problem with it leaking but EVERY time my wife put a wide mouth bottle together it leaked!! She liked the design so we continued to play with it and finally realized that the internal rubber piece that the straw attaches to was slightly (almost imperceptibly) raised and screwing the lid down tightly did not solve the problem. Simply make sure the rubber piece is solidly in place before screwing it together! I know it sounds stupid, but really - you can't hardly even see that it is raised - you'll think you've put it together correctly until you push on it and almost feel it "pop" into place. Just take the extra time to do it right or you'll have a very wet, very unhappy baby on your hands!
My wife was unable to breast feed and we nursed our son exclusively on these bottles. We love them and we are buying new nipples to use them for our next son. Our set is currently 3 years old and looks almost new. Some slight scratching on the name brand is all. All the pieces (even the nipples) still appear to be in great shape. Highly recommended. I can't say that these kept my son from having colic, but my son was sleeping through the night and far less fussy than my neighbors children (all born within the same 3 months) who used cheap advent bottles. We also had MUCH less spit-ups than his baby buddies. Can't say it enough - I recommend them to everyone. Just make sure you're ready to devout an extra minute or so a day to bottle cleaning. - 2009-01-04, 0 of 0 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- 2 words - The Best!
- This bottle is by far the best bottle I have ever used. I've bought the long skinny Dr Brown's bottles but much prefer the wide neck. One of the advantages for me, these are so much easier to clean than the others. I used the regular Gerber bottles with my first, Advent with my second and tried Advent & Soothie brand with my 3rd with no success. My 3rd has bad gas & reflux, she also wasn't digesting her food properly our doctor suggested Dr Brown's and I was hesitant at first simply because I did not want to wash all those extra parts. C'mon having 3 kids who has time for dishes. I decided to go ahead and quit being stingy on my part and get them for my daughter, what a lifesaver! These bottles were terrific, along with a hypo-allergenic formula and these bottles she could actually eat without screaming in pain & sleep like a peaceful baby. I would recommend Dr Brown's to anyone and after awhile washing the bottles/extra parts becomes second nature and really isn't so bad when your babies are happy & healthy.

- We're Satisfied.
- 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.

- No More Tummy Pains!
- When my son was still on forumla, he had gassy stomach pains and problems up until I was given a set of Dr. Johns bottles as a gift from a friend. She didn't know what a real lifesaver she gave me! We had no more nights of fussiness and sleeplessness due to stomach/gas pains after we started using these bottles, started out with the smaller bottles and I agree with a few of the other reviews, would be best to just go straight to the 8oz size but these are great bottles, I have recommended them to many friends and nurses as well, and I just can't say enough about how much these bottles helped my lil guy. If your baby is having stomach pains and you are looking for an end to the tears and sleepless nights, go with Dr. Johns! Well worth the extra $$ paid for themselves time and time again.
