Description
Dr Brown’s Wide-Neck Options+Natural flow Anticolic Bottle is designed to offer an efficient solution for feeding infants, particularly known for its advanced vent system aimed at reducing colic and digestive issues. The unique vent system allows air to enter the bottle collar and routes it through the internal vent system. This design keeps air at the back of the bottle, preventing it from mixing with the milk or formula. This separation minimizes air ingestion during feeding, which can reduce instances of colic, spit-up, burping, and gas.
This bottle features a wide-neck design that makes it easier to fill and clean, and is particularly suited for babies transitioning from breastfeeding to bottle feeding due to the broader nipple shape that mimics the breast. The Options+ bottle is made from BPA-free plastic or glass, ensuring it is safe and durable for regular use. It comes in various capacities, typically ranging from 5 ounces to 9 ounces, catering to different age groups and feeding needs.
the Options+ design means you can use the bottle with or without the vent system. Without the vent, it functions as a regular bottle, which might be more suitable as the baby’s feeding skills develop.
Dr. Brown’s Wide-Neck Options+ Bottle is a versatile and practical choice for parents seeking a reliable bottle that can adapt to their child’s growing needs while helping to alleviate common feeding problems.
Let’s delve deeper into the features of the Dr. Brown’s Wide-Neck Options+ Bottle:
Vent System:
The patented vent system is a standout feature of Dr. Brown’s bottles. It is designed to create a fully vented bottle, ensuring vacuum-free feeding, which is similar to breastfeeding. This system channels air from the nipple collar through the vent tube to the back of the bottle, bypassing the milk entirely. This prevents air bubbles from forming in the milk or formula and helps maintain essential nutrients like vitamins C, A, and E by minimizing oxidation.
Nipple Design:
Dr Brown’s Wide-Neck Options+ Bottle has a broader base, which can be especially helpful for babies who are being breastfed as well. The nipple is shaped to offer a more natural latch, which is essential for preventing nipple confusion. It’s available in different flow rates, from preemie flow to level four, which supports babies as they grow and their feeding needs evolve.

Materials:
The Options+ bottles can be found in both BPA-free plastic and glass versions. The glass version is a favorite for parents looking for a more environmentally friendly and easy-to-sterilize option. Both materials are designed to withstand frequent use and sterilization without degrading.
Convertibility and Versatility:
As the baby grows, the need for a vented bottle might decrease. Dr. Brown’s allows the bottle to be used without the vent system — this adaptability makes it a more practical choice for parents who want a product that can adjust to their baby’s changing needs.
Ease of Cleaning:
The Wide-Neck Options+ Bottle comes apart easily for cleaning. All parts, including the vent system, are dishwasher safe on the top rack. Size Options:
The bottle typically comes in two sizes: 5 ounces, suitable for newborns and smaller infants, and 9 ounces, ideal for older infants who consume more milk or formula per feeding.
