Dr Brown's Natural Flow Narrow-Neck Options+ Bottle 250ml 2 Pack

The Dr Brown's Natural Flow Narrow-Neck Options+ Bottle is a 250ml baby bottle supplied here as a two-pack, built around Dr. Brown's internal vent system and a silicone teat that gives a consistent flow so baby can feed at their own pace. It's a narrow-neck bottle for expressed milk or formula, part of the Options+ range that's designed to be used with or without its internal vent.

What stands out about this bottle is that it's made to grow with baby. The Natural Flow anti-colic vent sits inside the bottle for the early feeding stages, and can be removed later as your baby's feeding develops — so you can carry on using the same bottle rather than switching to a new system.

How the Options+ vent system works

• Vacuum-free feeding: The internal vent system channels air away from the milk, so baby can feed without creating a vacuum inside the bottle.
• Consistent flow: The silicone teat is designed to release milk at a steady, paced rate, letting baby feed at their own pace.
• Breast-like teat shape: The teat has a rounded, breast-like shape for bottle feeding, which can be helpful if you're combination feeding or moving between breast and bottle.
• Removable vent: The bottle works best with the vent in place, but it can be taken out as feeding develops — no need to introduce a different bottle.

Cleaning and care

The bottle comes apart for thorough cleaning and is safe in the dishwasher (top rack only). It can also be treated in electric and microwave sterilisers or in boiling water, so you can stick with whichever method suits your routine. The bottle is made from BPA-free materials and is 95% recyclable, and through Dr. Brown's collaboration with Plastic Bank, each purchase contributes toward reducing single-use plastic entering the ocean.

Best for

The Dr Brown's Natural Flow Narrow-Neck Options+ Bottle is a great option for parents who:

• Want a narrow-neck bottle they can use with or without an internal anti-colic vent
• Are combination feeding or moving between breast and bottle and prefer a breast-like teat shape
• Like being able to sterilise by dishwasher, steam or boiling water

It may not be the best fit if you:

• Prefer a bottle with fewer parts to assemble and wash
• Are looking for a wide-neck bottle system

Pandylane Pro Tip: Once feeding is well established, you can remove the internal vent to cut down on the number of parts to wash — without needing to change over to a different bottle.
