Dr Brown%C3%A2%E2%82%ACTMs Natural Narrow Silicone Reviews Summary

Nipple Size and Flow Rate

Pros:

• "We switched to this size and it has made a huge difference."
• "Switched from size 1 to size 3 and he drinks milk much faster."
• "Switched to these and she has minimal leaking around her mouth now."
• "The nipple formular is so close to the real thing that my baby took to it right away."
• "Switched my 3 month old to size 2 nipple... She is back to drinking her full 4oz on every feeding."
• "Works great and eases the frustration of your baby getting milk out as quickly as they can."
• "These nipples work well for older babies who need/want a faster flow rate."
• "My son choked on regular nipples... switched after our doctor recommended preemie nipples and Dr. Brown bottles."

Cons:

• "Super weird, we ordered level 2... they actually provided LESS milk."
• "I purchased these for my grandson because the size one nipples... had a fast flow and he was constantly getting too much and spitting up frequently."
• "We used the original nipples with Medela bottles but had a problem with them leaking a lot of milk."
• "My daughter has laryngomalacia so we were told to switch to these nipples. She can’t even get milk out of the whole since it is so tiny."
• "The flow is usually perfect for him but ever since we’ve used these nipples from amazon he is literally drowning when he’s eating. Constantly choking and spitting up."
• "The only thing with purchasing these particular nipples is that two of them came GLUED to each other. Not sure how that happens, especially with them being packaged like this."
• "The packaging they came in was sturdy, and the nipples were wrapped in plastic. A good wash later, and they were put into use. Very happy with purchase."
• "Dr. Brown bottles leak so badly... They still leak from the collar so badly."

Cleaning and Durability

Pros:

• "The bottle is also very easy to clean."
• "Plus they are very easy to clean in the dishwasher. I’ve already ordered another set."
• "They work well for her cereal, but the y cuts tear very easily and dump food all over her face."
• "These are SUPER durable. Both my kids have used it. They go into the dishwasher all the time and have held up for 2 years."

Cons:

• "The y cuts tear and then there is a huge hold for the cereal and formula to pour out of and she can not swallow fast enough."
• "These nipples make him eat slower then the slow flow nipples that you get from the doctors office. Its like he is eating from the breast for the length of time it takes, and the amount he gets at a time."
• "The nipples leak. I have tried three sizes of nipples and it is the same with all of them. The bottles are assembled properly. They just leak."
• "Nipples are too thin! The quality of the old ones were great & at least twice as thick as these supposed original nipples (purchased 2yrs ago)."
• "Definitely not as thick as the Dr.Browns nipples you can buy in the store. They collapse as soon as my son starts drinking."

Compatibility and Transition

Pros:

• "I love these! I have a BIG boy and he was getting angry at his bottles so switched him to these nipples."
• "These help my little lady so much with gas and pacing herself. My preemie baby used size one nipples for the first month and a half of her life."
• "I'm a working mom, so we introduced bottles to my daughter around 4-5 weeks because we knew I would be back at work soon and wanted her to be used to bottle feeding."

Cons:

• "Was terrible, I don’t know if ther are dr brown . It leaks everywhere not from nipple hole . The size 3 doesn’t leak but this does."
• "It was time for my baby to upgrade to flow 4 (at 11 months) and these are standard Dr. Brown nipples. However they fall out of the collar when taking the lid off and they will absolutely leak like crazy when tipped over."
• "I am not sure why but i have the Dr Brown bottles with the green tubing and I bought these nipples to go with them. However, ever since I started using these... they leak... do they not work with all dr brown bottles or was this just the lemon product?"
