  • Love these when babies were little and only drank a small amount. They do leak if you over fill them. Apr 04, 2024

  • This bottles have been a constant struggle because no matter what we try they always leak even without heating milk. We hand washed all part to reduce the risk of part becoming warped. Oct 08, 2023

  • These were perfect for our preemie baby. Recommended by the nicu! Oct 01, 2023

    The anti colic filter has been a lifesaver. We found that if any bottle without it makes him more prone to throwing up right after eating. They’re also very convenient because they’re so skinny. Aug 25, 2023

  • These bottles are great but there are better choices out there. These are the most common used bottle due to gas and colic. These bottles are time consuming to clean and has too many parts. Jul 11, 2023

  • Great for gassy babies. A lot of pieces but easy to clean and worth it. Feb 07, 2023

  • As I stated before, Dr Brown's bottles were best for my baby before switching to the kinde bottle system Dec 03, 2022

  • Must have for baby!!! He's with gas so much Nov 21, 2022

  • This is the only bottle my daughter would take. We do have issues with it leaking some but not to the extent that it's bothersome and it tends to be an easy fix. Aug 30, 2022

  • I like the fact that it helps with colic and gasses but sometimes they spill when milk goes into the filter system. Aug 09, 2022

  • Love these bottles!! I use these and another brand together and my gassy baby is super happy. He still has gassy moments but the bottles are perfect. Easy to use and easy to clean Nov 30, 2021

  • I dreaded washing these bottles they had so many parts. Sep 17, 2021

    leak a little but baby had no gas issues using them - recommend Apr 22, 2021

  • The help with gas but leak horribly if they are tipped over in the diaper bag. Apr 02, 2021

  • Great starter kit. They just outgrow so fast. Mar 25, 2021

  • Good bottles, rarely had a problem with leaking. Main complaint is that there are so many parts to wash that it takes a while to clean. Jan 26, 2021

    Used but found that the plastic would discolor. Made me nervous about plastic leaking into the milk. Discolored in the dishwasher so bought more and hand washed and happened again. Jan 18, 2021

  • Great for the short time period that we needed to use newborn nipples but MAN are there a lot of parts to clean and line up. Nov 26, 2020

    Love the bottle, but seems like a waste buying the small bottles when ultimately you will need the larger size. Aug 23, 2020

  • These were the first bottles I gave my baby and he prefers them over any. Aug 16, 2020

  • Great if you have a gassy babe. If your babe doesn’t need these, go with something else. These are cumbersome and leak. Aug 14, 2020

  • I used this for my older son. I loved that he hardly ever got gas from this. Feel comfortable for him to hold too. What I didn’t like was it is hard to clean the white part that attaches to the tube. Apr 01, 2020

  • Too many parts. It may have helped with reflux/gas? I don't recommend buying these unless you absolutely need to try something else. Takes too long to clean. Feb 26, 2020

  • I prefer the options bottles but these work the exact same you just have to always use the straw Feb 10, 2020

  • These are a great bottle option for those who are afraid of baby getting gassy or colicky, but the vents get lost often and easily, and there is no option to buy replacements at the moment. Jan 17, 2020

    I have used these with all my kids and I love them. May 07, 2019

  • Perfect size for newborns and so helpful with gas prevention. Feb 14, 2019
