Dr. Brown’s Baby Essential Items Review
DISCLOSURE – THESE ITEMS WERE GIFTED TO THE REVIEWER FOR THE PURPOSES OF WRITING THE REVIEW. ALL THOUGHTS AND OPINIONS ARE THE REVIEWER’S OWN.
Reviewed by Michelle
Babies are just the cutest thing right and we all want to make sure we have the best items for them when it comes to feeding, and Dr. Brown has done this brilliantly. What I absolutely loved more than anything else about the bottles I reviewed, is the anti colic design and functionality of them. The ‘Vacuum Fee Vent System’ is revolutionary and are absolutely brilliant. Brilliantly thought of and you will find out more as you continue to read my review.
Before I go on about the items, I had to find out more about Dr. Brown’s as I had never heard of this brand before (Please note that the following paragraph was taken from the Dr. Browns website which I have adapted for the review)
“To my surprise it has been behind some of the most brilliant products where the core centre of attention is the amazing design, practicality and functionality of the products and has been for over 20 years. The products were originally designed by a doctor in America and it seems that 92% of Health Professionals from the United Kingdom recommend the brand.”
PLEASE NOTE:- My review of the items are below are not a bundle or kit and can not be brought together. You can however, purchase them as separate items.
Dr Brown’s Milk Powder Dispenser
This is absolutely brilliant and a genius idea for when you are on the go, out and about or even on your travels.
The dispenser is very strong and sturdy and can store sufficient milk powder which can make 3 x 9oz/270ml bottles. It has a really strong and tight fit snap-on-lid, this allows the dispenser to keep the milk powder safe and secure without it leaking. It has a spout that is very easy to to put from when dispensing the milk powder too.
As the container is a nice compact size, it makes it very easy to fit into any baby’s changing bag.

Dr Brown’s Options+ Anti-Colic 150ml Baby Bottle Twin Pack, Elephant Design
Now, there is nothing worse or upsetting to hear and see your baby suffering with colic. It can be very upsetting and concerning as a parent, or like me, a grandparent. These came just in time for me to review as our granddaughter has struggled with colic for a short time and that was long enough. Then came along these bottles and WOW! What a difference. It took a few days for the colic to settle but oh boy, do these bottles live up to their description. I could not believe how changing from our standard bottles to these one could make such a big difference.
The following content was taken from the website as to ensure you have accurate information.
“The enhanced design of the Dr Brown’s Options+ Anti-Colic Bottle is clinically proven to reduce windy colic due to Dr Brown’s unique 100% vacuum-free vent system. Dr Brown’s Options+ bottles offer an easy and comfortable way to feed your little-one, adapting to their needs as they grow. With the unique design, this bottle can be used with or without the removable internal vent system, transforming it into a teat-vented bottle for more convenience. Use Dr Brown’s Options + bottles from birth – don’t wait until your baby develops colic!”
In relation to the above taken from the website, I am astounded at the mechanics of how the bottles I reviewed are. Take a look below to find out more.
The bottles a very easy to use ergonomically and there is a very cute image of baby blue elephant holding a yellow balloon in its trunk. Awwww, just love all these little details.
** What I love about the teats is the fact that they are breast like shaped, this means it makes it much easier for baby to latch on to and when I tried the with my granddaughter, they did just that. There was no missing the teat with her mouth or struggling to latch on to it. It was lovely to see just how much easier it was for her. She was comfortable suckling from the teat which made for a very relaxing and comforting feed. So, if you are looking to ween baby off of breast onto bottle, these are the perfect ones to buy.
** The company claim that the anti-colic vent system has been clinically proven to reduce symptoms of colic and I can vouch for that 100%. My granddaughter’s colic has cleared up and she is such a happier baby for it and has made feeding times so much better and more comforting.
** They company also claim that they aid in digestion for a good night’s sleep. Again, I can vouch for that 100%. Before, there were sleepless nights whereas now, she settles down calmly and she is so much brighter in the morning, this is obviously due to a better nights sleep.
** Great bottles to have and you do not need to buy other bottles once they colic has cleared up or as they grow older. These bottles are designed to grow with baby, making it more cost effective in the long run.

Dr Brown’s Natural Flow Bottle and Teat Brush
When it comes to cleaning out baby’s bottle, it is not as easy as just rinsing it under warm water and you do not want to put it in the dishwasher without giving it a bit of clean first. This bottle and teat brush is like no other and I just love it. It is a combination bush with bristle and a sponge head which makes it so much easier to clean inside any of the Dr. Brown range of bottles.
The brush is very easy to use and the handle is non-slip making it extremely easy to use when holding it and cleaning bottles and teats.
I was amazing to see a detachable suction pad which means it can be securely placed upright or place it on the side of the brush to secure to the inside of your sink or even your sink dispenser.
Part of the brush has been designed to be able to thoroughly clean inside the teat.

Dr Brown’s Options+ Narrow Neck 250ml Single Bottle – Lion/Fox Design
Another delightful bottle with gorgeous images on it. A red fox with a blue bandana around its neck and a sleeping lion with beautiful red main wearing a blue and white night cap and has a moon and stars above it. The fox bottle is cute for daytime feeds and the sleeping lion for night time feeds. Yet again, attention to detail with cuteness overload.
I found this bottle very easy to use and like the Dr Brown’s Options+ Anti-Colic 150ml Baby Bottle Twin Pack with Elephant Design; the benefits of those bottles are the same for this one. Please refer to my review above marked **above where you will see the information in my review for those bottles which are also relative to this bottle. As with the other bottles, I could not believe the difference they made with regards to the anti colic design from our standard bottles. The anti colic concept and design has been brilliantly thought of and implemented really well.

OVERALL RATING: 5/5
I can not emphasise enough how the bottles work so well in aiding against colic. The design is phenomenal and really does work.
The concept of these items individually are brilliant. From design, functionality, ease of use and most importantly, quality and value for money. I most certainly recommend buying these items.
