Dr Brown Wide Neck Baby Bottle 1 Pack Reviews Summary

Design & Ease of Use

Pros:

• "The new bottle design is much more natural with the best anti-gas features."
• "They are easy to clean and come with a nice lid to help keep the nipple from getting germs on it."
• "These bottles are great! They’re easy to clean, easy to use, and in my opinion make warming bottles and keeping bottles warm super easy."
• "We love Dr Brown's bottles! They're easy to clean and easy to fill due to the wide-neck."
• "The wide neck is really nice especially for grandparents who may not have the steadiest of hands but need to transfer breast milk or formula."
• "A WiDE neck for powder formula users-- it is possible to scoop some in while holding baby."
• "The wide mouth never caused nursing and bottle confusion!"

Cons:

• "Update 3/11/24- After using these bottle for a couple weeks, we noticed that 2 of them were leaking. We found cracks on two of the bottle heads."
• "I wish the glass is thicker cause I feel like it is a bit thin."
• "Bought these ahead of time. Went to use them and 2 bottles had a chip inside the ring."
• "The glass CHIPS on the grooves on the outside rim when you close the top."
• "Since they are wide-necked and glass (and therefore heavier), it does make it a little more tiring for baby to hold the bottle for more than a few minutes."
• "Opening the cap is too hard. Not a good choice for parents who need one hand for their baby and the other for the bottle."
• "I used both the narrow plastic dr. Browns and this wide neck glass ones. I prefer the plastic because the wide nipple on the glass ones made my baby take in a lot of air and positioning his mouth correctly on it was a miss sometimes."

Material Quality

Pros:

• "Glass is much easier to clean that plastic."
• "They are glass and kind of heavy but very thick and sturdy."
• "The glass is nice, but I’m always afraid I’m going to drop and break it. It’s thick glass, so I don’t think it would break easily unless you tried hard to throw it on a concrete or tile surface."
• "The glass feels like nicer quality than the plastic."
• "The glass is thick and sturdy."
• "These are very nice glass baby bottles. They are sturdy and have held up well."
• "The glass seems to be durable but I'm not brave enough to drop it on the floor to test it out."

Cons:

• "I wish I was kidding when I say this, but people have tested the paint on these glass bottles by Dr. Browns and found it tests POSITIVE for LEAD."
• "This is absolutely dangerous and very upsetting when you work so hard to pump milk and then hear/see glass chip off the side."
• "But the measurements on the side are off by ten milliliters! Caused me to under feed my baby until I realized!!! Unacceptable."
• "The glass has chipped, once actually had a shard implanted in my finger while washing!"
• "I’ve had 2 chip just from bumping into another glass bottle on the drying rack."
• "Worked fine for a few weeks, glass threads chipping, inner bottle edges chipping and flaking glass."
• "The glass does not acquire a cloudy color like a lot of plastic bottles do when exposed to high heat."

Safety & Durability

Pros:

• "This is the perfect glass bottle! My EBF daughter gets 1 bottle a day and will a few times a week once I go back to work. She gets a nice deep latch every time."
• "The bottles are also very durable. I definitely recommend getting the silicone sleeves which have saved our bottles from breaking when dropped on several occasions."
• "They are also structurally great I have dropped mine many times with no cover and only had one break because it was dropped on concrete."
• "They didn't shatter!"
• "These helped A LOT."
• "These are so easy to clean. They hold up well and I have dropped them and had no chips or any problems."
• "The glass is much tougher than you may think. I even dropped one on a hardwood floor and it survived without cracks."

Cons:

• "2/3 broken already fell from a very low couch onto the floor and exploded everywhere both times."
• "I really wish I had read the reviews before ordering these. I needed the glass bottles and haven't been able to find them anywhere. Found these on amazon and paid extra thinking they'd be the glass ones. Nope. Falsely advertised. They were plastic, not glass."
• "Absolutely livid with the crappy workmanship of these bottles."
• "Please don’t waist your money on these. They’re the worst bottles I’ve ever used."
• "Bottle broke after 2 uses never dropped or washed in dishwasher only hand washed my I do not recommend terrible quality."
• "I didn’t expect to be sent breakable feeding bottles."
• "They leak and are supposed to be shatter proof but they break very easily."
