Description

Dr. Brown’s Natural Flow® Narrow Baby Bottle is designed to reduce feeding issues like colic, spit-up, burping, and gas. Its patented internal vent system is the core feature, allowing air to bypass the milk or formula to prevent bubbles from forming, which can reduce colic symptoms and preserve nutrients. The narrow-neck design is especially useful for smaller hands and makes it easy for babies to grip.

The bottles are made from BPA-free plastic or glass, making them a safe choice for babies. Dr. Brown’s also offers different nipple levels, allowing parents to adjust flow as their baby grows. The Level 1 nipple, included with the bottle, is ideal for newborns, while faster-flow options are available as the baby gets older.

Here’s a closer look at the key features and specifications:

1. Internal Vent System: This bottle uses Dr. Brown’s innovative internal vent system, which is clinically proven to reduce colic, spit-up, burping, and gas. The vent system channels air away from the milk or formula, creating a vacuum-free feeding environment that mimics breastfeeding. This not only helps minimize digestion issues but also helps retain essential vitamins like C, A, and E.
2. Narrow Design: The narrow shape is easy for parents to hold and fits comfortably in the hands of older infants who are beginning to hold their own bottles. The narrow neck also works well with most bottle warmers and storage systems.
3. Colic and Digestion Support
   • Reduction of Colic Symptoms: Studies and parent testimonials support that Dr. Brown’s bottles help alleviate common colic symptoms, such as fussiness, gas, and spit-up, by reducing air ingestion and creating a stable feeding flow.
   • Aids in Nutrient Retention: The vacuum-free feeding system helps retain key nutrients (vitamins A, C, and E) by reducing air exposure. This is crucial for breastmilk and formula, as these nutrients support a baby’s immune system and growth.
4. Silicone Nipple Levels: Dr. Brown’s Narrow Bottles come with Level 1 nipples, suitable for newborns, but they also offer levels 2 through 4 and specialty options for a variety of flow rates. The nipples are made from high-quality, BPA-free silicone, designed to match the baby’s sucking reflex and provide a natural flow rate.
5. Material Options: Available in both BPA-free plastic and glass, the bottles provide parents with options for durability and preference. Glass bottles are slightly heavier but highly durable and resistant to odor, while plastic bottles are lightweight and easier for babies to hold.
6. Ease of Use and Cleaning
   • Simple Assembly: While the vent system is detachable for cleaning, the bottle is designed for quick and easy reassembly, making it convenient for parents to manage even during busy routines.
   • Dishwasher Safe: All parts can be safely placed on the top rack of the dishwasher, while the vent and nipple cleaning brushes ensure the narrow parts are thoroughly cleaned, reducing the chance of residue build-up.
7. Sizes and Accessories
   • Variety of Sizes: The bottles are available in 2 oz (ideal for newborns), 4 oz (common for younger babies), and 8 oz (suitable as the baby’s appetite increases). Parents can select the appropriate size for different feeding stages.
   • Specialty Accessories: Dr. Brown’s offers a range of compatible accessories, including handles for easy gripping, travel caps to prevent leaks on-the-go, and replacement venting systems and nipples.
8. Anti-Colic Design Benefits: The vented system reduces air bubbles and maintains a steady flow, which can help minimize colic, fussiness, and feeding discomfort. Additionally, the system is designed to help reduce ear infections and build-up in the baby’s mouth.
