2 words - The Best! (2008-12-13)
This bottle is by far the best bottle I have ever used. I've bought the long skinny Dr Brown's bottles but much prefer the wide neck. One of the advantages for me, these are so much easier to clean than the others. I used the regular Gerber bottles with my first, Advent with my second and tried Advent & Soothie brand with my 3rd with no success. My 3rd has bad gas & reflux, she also wasn't digesting her food properly our doctor suggested Dr Brown's and I was hesitant at first simply because I did not want to wash all those extra parts. C'mon having 3 kids who has time for dishes. I decided to go ahead and quit being stingy on my part and get them for my daughter, what a lifesaver! These bottles were terrific, along with a hypo-allergenic formula and these bottles she could actually eat without screaming in pain & sleep like a peaceful baby. I would recommend Dr Brown's to anyone and after awhile washing the bottles/extra parts becomes second nature and really isn't so bad when your babies are happy & healthy.

We're Satisfied. (2008-12-11)
During the first two months after the birth of our baby boy, we selected the Avent 4-ounce bottles and nipples. However, our boy's growing needs now exceeds the bottle's capacity. It was time to move to a larger 8-ounce bottle. My wife was talking to a friend and she suggested the Dr. Brown's Natural Flow wide neck bottle which she recommended highly. We bought a three pack for trial. We both like these new bottles. I like the fit and feel in my hand. My wife praises the inner gizmo and says it gives the baby less gas to deal with. Hmmmm. Well, we do have a somewhat gaseous baby and he releases such gases at both ends. Just like Daddy, my wife remarked.

I do most of the feeding with the bottle. I like the new larger bottle and it's indentations fit the hand well. With regard to the less gas claim, I can't see much of a difference. I still burp him and he can still usually get off a couple pretty good belches after feeding. I don't mind. I'm trying to improve his tone and volume. As he gets a little older, I'll see if I can get him to burp his ABCs. With regard to leakage of gas from the other end, I can't see a difference here either. The guy is just gaseous, but I don't see that it's doing him any harm, other than embarrassing guests. All in all, I'd say these bottles are fine and I prefer them over the Avents.

My experience is that When my baby drinh milk these bottles she no produced gaceas or very few, the bad thing is it uncomfortable to wash

No More Tummy Pains! (2008-02-12)
When my son was still on forumla, he had gassy stomach pains and problems up until I was given a set of Dr. Johns bottles as a gift from a friend. She didn't know what a real lifesaver she gave me! We had no more nights of fussiness and sleeplessness due to stomach/gas pains after we started using these bottles, started out with the smaller bottles and I agree with a few of the other reviews, would be best to just go straight to the 8oz size but these are great bottles, I have recommended them to many friends and nurses as well, and I just can't say enough about how much these bottles helped my lil guy. If your baby is having stomach pains and you are looking for an end to the tears and sleepless nights, go with Dr. Johns! Well worth the extra $$ paid for themselves time and time again.

Wow, no burping necessary! (2008-02-06)
I kinda expected the natural flow bottles to not really prevent gas, but I was wrong. After switching to these bottles we haven't had to burp our daughter.

The only downside is cleaning time, it can take a bit longer manually washing. Dishwasher it doesn't make a difference, and I suppose the extra few seconds it takes to wash is better than the amount of time it takes to burp a baby and is way better than any spitting up as a result!
