Dr Brown’s is best known for its award-winning unique air vent system in its bottles that provide a solution to babies suffering with colic. This is a common problem that causes discomfort and distress to baby. In bottle fed babies it is largely associated with air and vacuum that traditional bottles tend to create as babies suck progressively harder to get liquid from them. A vacuum in the bottle can transfer air to a baby’s middle ear and can encourage fluid to be drawn in. Babies seal their lips to the teat when they nurse, but as the vacuum increases they ingest air and aerated milk through a weakened teat and vent.

Dr Brown’s Options range of bottles not only provides a solution to this through positive pressure through the vent to direct air out and away from the fluid, separating the two, but as baby develops the vent system can be removed if no longer required and the bottle continued to be used as a teat vented bottle.

The range of bottle capacities start from 60ml, suitable from premature babies, up to 270ml and available in BPA free plastic and glass. The high grade silicone teats range from premature to 9months and include a Y cut option for thicker liquids.
