Dr. Brown's Anti-Colic Options+ Narrow Baby Bottle, 8oz/250ml, with Level 1 Slow Flow Teat, 3-Pack...Dr. Brown's Anti-Colic Options+ Narrow Baby Bottle, 8oz/250ml, with Level 1 Slow Flow Teat, 3-Pack. This anti-colic internal vent system is clinically proven to reduce colic, decreasing spit-up, burping, and wind. The vacuum-free feeding is closest to breastfeeding, and Dr. Brown’s silicone teats provide a consistent flow, allowing babies to feed at their own pace. The anti-colic vent system is proven to help preserve bottle milk nutrients and aids in digestion for a better night's sleep. Dr. Brown’s Natural Flow Anti-Colic Options+ baby bottle works best with the internal vent system in place, but it can be removed as baby’s feeding develops, eliminating the need to introduce a different bottle. The bottle is safe for use in dishwashers (top rack only), electric and microwave sterilisers, or boiling water. It is BPA Free.
This guide helps parents understand and effectively use the Dr. Brown's Anti-Colic Options+ Narrow Baby Bottle. Designed for infants, this bottle's key benefit is reducing colic symptoms, leading to less spit-up, burping, and wind. A key consideration is ensuring proper assembly for optimal performance.
