Dr. Brown's bottles feature a unique internal vent system that removes air bubbles and vacuum from the liquid, reducing colic. The anti-colic internal vent system is clinically proven to reduce colic, decrease spit-up, burping, and wind. Dr. Brown's silicone teats provide a consistent flow rate for natural feeding. The anti-colic vent system helps preserve bottle milk nutrients and aids digestion. The breast-like teat shape encourages a proper latch for a natural bottle feeding experience and eases the transition from breast to bottle. The bottle grows with baby; the internal vent system can be removed as baby’s feeding develops. Prevents the most well-known causes of stomach upset and reduces the risk of middle ear disease. The patented internal air valve ensures no air or vacuum develops in the liquid, allowing the baby to suck at its own pace without the teat collapsing.
This guide provides essential information for parents using the Dr. Brown's Options+ Anti-Colic Baby Bottle (120ml). Designed to reduce colic and improve feeding comfort, this bottle features a unique venting system. Note that while the venting system offers significant benefits, it requires a few extra parts to clean and assemble. This guide covers setup, usage, care, and troubleshooting to help you get the most out of your Dr. Brown's bottle.
