The Dr. Brown's Options+ stands out for its clinically proven anti-colic system that significantly reduces gas, spit-up, and burping. The bottle features a unique internal vent that keeps air away from milk, preventing vacuum buildup that can cause discomfort. What makes this bottle particularly versatile is the Options+ design that allows parents to use it with or without the venting system as their baby's digestive system matures.
Available in both plastic and glass, it comes in 4oz and 8oz sizes with six different nipple flow rates to accommodate babies from preemie to 9+ months. While the venting system adds some complexity to cleaning, the included detail brush helps maintain hygiene. The narrow-neck design, while slightly less convenient for filling, makes it easier for small hands to hold as baby grows. Thousands of positive reviews highlight its effectiveness for gassy babies, though some note the multiple parts require extra attention during assembly and cleaning.
