The Dr Brown's breast-shaped Options+ teats are designed for a natural feeding experience, making the switch between breast and bottle seamless. This bottle features a unique internal vent system that can be used with or without to transform it into a teat-vented bottle for added convenience. The green internal vent system creates a 100% vacuum-free feed, clinically proven to help reduce wind-related colic. This makes Dr. Brown's the number one choice for UK Health Professionals for alleviating colicky symptoms.
