Dr. Brown bottles are the best bottles for colicky babies. There are ALOT of pieces, however this bottle works well with my little girl. The only reason a Dr. Brown bottle will leak is if you filled the bottle pass the do not fill line or if there is milk in the plastic piece in the bottle (it can be cleared by untwisting the cap). Use the white pieces that come with the bottles to protect your diaper bags from leakage. An excellent bottle when used properly!!!

I had planned on using the Playtex reusable Insulated bottles with no bags (hated the nursers with bags with my 1st baby) and we had bought plenty although they only came in 8 oz sizes, I figured since I was going to breastfeed that would be fine.. Well, my little bundle arrived a month premature and needed preemie nipples on her bottles and so off to babies r us I went before she got out of the NICU and the only preemie nipples I could find anywhere were some tiny ugly Gerber bottles that were just regular bottles with no special features for keeping air out of her tummy and Dr Browns.. So I had told myself before a million times I would NOT use the Dr Browns because the straw seemed like a pain in the butt.. But, because of her being so little and needing the smaller flow, I went ahead and bought a 3 pk. to try with her.. I brought her home today and LOVE them to death.. I can tell they work because the air doesnt bubble up and she have to let off the nipple because of suction which is great... I am going to go get more as soon as possible since I am having to nurse and then offer a bottle of breastmilk to monitor how much she is taking in at each and every feeding.. I have washed them numerous times today alone and they are easy to clean.. The straws just take an extra minute to do but Im washing breastpump parts every feeding also LOL.. So no problem.. They are much better for my little princess.

Our son was born 2 months premature, and when he came home from the hospital, we had trouble finding bottles/nipples that worked well for him. Most preemie nipples were to soft, and he would have air leaks around the top of the bottle from biting them. He would also suck so hard, he'd suck the nipple shut. Also, the preemie bottles were only 2 1/2 oz, and he was beyond that very quickly. The Dr. Brown's preemie nipples offer enough resistance that they eliminated those problems without flowing so fast they made him choke. He's on the Level 1 nipples now, and these are working just great as well. Feedings are going much faster, and he has very few gas/spit-up problems.

I have used these since my son was born and he has had no spit up and mild gas. They are a pain to clean though as there are many pieces.

Has reduced gas and spit up!! My daughter had been very colicky with pain passing gas, spitting up, and pain with bowel movements. The fact that she is lactose intolerant made matters worse. I had tried the playtex ventaire bottles, avent, and evenflo comfi. My cousin recommended Dr. Brown's b/c her son had the same problems, and they have been a lifesaver for us!
I highly recommend these bottles they are worth EVERY penny!!!!
