FAQs

How often should I replace the teats?

Replace teats every 1-2 months or sooner if they show signs of wear, such as cracks or tears. Always inspect teats before each use.

Can I use the bottle without the vent system?

Yes, as your baby grows and their feeding needs change, you can remove the vent system and use the bottle like a conventional bottle.

Is the bottle dishwasher safe?

Yes, all parts of the Dr Brown's Options+ Bottle are top-rack dishwasher safe. For best results, disassemble the bottle before placing it in the dishwasher.

How do I sterilize the bottles?

You can sterilize the bottles using a sterilizer, by boiling the parts in water for 5 minutes, or using a microwave steam sterilizer. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions.

What teat size should I use?

Choose a teat size appropriate for your baby's age and feeding needs. Dr Brown's offers various teat sizes, each with a different flow rate.

How do I clean the vent system?

Use the provided cleaning brush to thoroughly clean the vent components. Rinse all parts with warm, soapy water after each use. Pay special attention to the small vents.

What if my baby still experiences colic while using the bottle?

While the Dr Brown's Options+ Bottle is designed to reduce colic, some babies may still experience symptoms. Consult your pediatrician if symptoms persist or worsen.

Troubleshooting

Bottle is leaking.

Ensure all parts are correctly assembled, especially the vent system. Check for any cracks or damage to the bottle or teat. Make sure the teat is properly aligned.

Baby is having trouble latching.

Ensure the teat is the correct size for your baby's age. Try different teat shapes or flow rates. Check that the bottle is tilted correctly during feeding, so the teat is always full of milk.

Vent system seems blocked.

Disassemble and thoroughly clean the vent system. Use the provided cleaning brush to remove any milk residue. Make sure the vent is not pinched or obstructed.

Bottle is collapsing during feeding.

Ensure the vent is properly assembled and functioning. The vent is designed to prevent a vacuum from forming. Check if the teat flow rate is appropriate for your baby's feeding style.
