The Dr Brown's Natural Flow Narrow-Neck Options+ Bottle holds 120 ml of expressed breast milk or prepared formula, making it a practical size for newborn feeds and the early days of bottle feeding. It pairs a soft silicone teat with Dr. Brown's internal vent system in a narrow-neck body that sits within the wider Options+ range, so you can add matching parts and teats as your routine settles.
What sets this bottle apart is the way it's built to adapt. It's designed to work with the internal vent in place, but the vent can be removed as your baby's feeding develops — so you keep using the same bottle rather than introducing a new one at each stage. The silicone teat is shaped to deliver a consistent flow, letting baby feed at their own pace.
How it works
- Internal vent system: The vent is designed to channel air away from the milk so baby can feed without drawing a vacuum, which is the anti-colic principle behind the bottle's design.
- Removable vent: The bottle is designed to work best with the vent in place, but it lifts out as feeding develops — no need to switch to a different bottle.
- Breast-like teat shape: The silicone teat has a breast-like shape and a consistent flow, designed to ease the move between breast and bottle and back again.
Cleaning and sterilising
The bottle is safe for the dishwasher (top rack only), electric and microwave sterilisers, or boiling water, so it fits whichever cleaning method you already use at home. Note that the vent system does add a few small parts to disassemble and dry, which is worth planning for in a busy feeding routine.
Materials and sustainability
The bottle is BPA free and, according to the manufacturer, 95% recyclable and made in the USA. Dr. Brown's also notes a collaboration with Plastic Bank aimed at reducing ocean-bound plastic.
Best For
The Dr Brown's Natural Flow Narrow-Neck Options+ Bottle is a great option for parents who:
- Are feeding a newborn or younger baby and want a smaller 120 ml size for early feeds
- Prefer a narrow-neck bottle that fits within the Options+ system
- Want a bottle with an anti-colic vent they can remove later, rather than buying a new bottle as feeding develops
It may not be the best fit if you:
- Would rather keep parts count and cleaning to a minimum, since the vent adds components to wash and dry
- Need a larger capacity for a baby taking bigger feeds
