Dr. Brown's Natural Flow
Bottle for colicky babies
- Venting system to prevent colic
- Good variety of sizes and shapes
- BPA-free
- Difficult to clean
- Leaks if not upright
- Cumbersome to assemble
Dr. Brown's Natural Flow baby bottles have an unusual design that incorporates a straw-like tube vent to help prevent babies from swallowing air when they drink. The overwhelmingly positive feedback from parents suggests that this colic-prevention feature is indeed an improvement over standard baby bottles. This bottle's standout feature does have a downside: parents say it's cumbersome to put together and tricky to clean. If your baby doesn't have trouble with gas, a simple bottle like the Wee-Go Glass Bottle (*Est. $15 for one 9-oz. bottle) might work just as well. It's also possible to get a bottle with a simple anti-colic vent instead. BornFree Bisphenol-A Free (*Est. $14 for two 9-oz. bottles) are also said to be effective at reducing gas and colic, and they're much simpler to clean. Dr. Brown's Natural Flow does come in a good selection of shapes and sizes, and is BPA-free.

This well-balanced review of the best baby bottles deems the Dr. Brown's Natural Flow bottle the best for preemies because it offers a slower-than-usual slow-flow nipple. On the downside, Dr. Brown's bottles have a lot of parts to clean.
