How Do Dr. Brown’s Anti-colic Bottles Work?
By designing an internal venting system that keeps air from coming into contact with the liquid, Dr. Brown is one of the best anti-colic bottles. This lessens or completely eliminates feeding issues for your baby while reducing stress and anxiety for you. It also helps prevent colic, spit-up, burping, and gas.
While other bottle designs to address venting has been developed, Dr. Only Brown’s bottles have a full vent. As a result, your baby can feed comfortably and at their own pace to the fullest extent possible.
In addition to the Original bottles, Dr. The Options+ bottle, made by Brown’s, can be used with or without the internal venting system. As your child’s feeding skills develop, you might find that getting rid of the venting system makes life easier for you. If she’s ready, she’ll let you know.
Bottle Preparation Tips
Let’s face it, mistakes happen from time to time. Do not be alarmed—a remedy exists! If you encounter a hiccup, use these five advice to troubleshoot the situation.
- Tip 1: Avoid shaking the bottle to mix the formula if you are using it because doing so could result in liquid entering the vent. To avoid clumps, which can obstruct the nipple opening, gently stir the mixture with a spoon. Instead of stirring, Dr. Brown’s sells a pitcher for mixing formulas.
- Tip 2: Do not overfill the bottle. If the liquid spills past the fill line indicated on the bottle, the internal vent system might not work properly.
- Tip 3: During heating, keep the collar loose. Either heat your bottle without the collar on or heat it with the collar loosening one-half turn, then tighten it just before feeding the baby. The liquid may be forced into the vent when the bottle is heated with a tight collar.
- Tip 4: Avoid overheating because it could endanger your child and cause the air in the bottle to expand, which would force liquid through the vent system and possibly cause leaks. A good general rule of thumb is to refrain from heating the liquid above body temperature, or 98° Fahrenheit.
- Tip 5: Use travel caps, and remember to keep your bottles upright if you’re going to mom’s or daycare.
