The Dr. Brown's Natural Flow Narrow-Neck Options+ Bottle is a 240 ml anti-colic baby bottle built around an internal vent system, made for feeding expressed breast milk or formula. The silicone nipple and vent work together to give a steady, consistent flow, so baby can feed at their own pace rather than being rushed or having to work too hard for a feed.
What sets the Options+ system apart is that it grows with baby. The internal vent works best kept in place while baby is younger, but it can be removed as feeding develops, so you can carry on with the same narrow-neck bottle rather than introducing a different one down the line.
How it works
- Internal vent system: As baby feeds, the vent channels air toward the back of the bottle and away from the milk, for what Dr. Brown's calls a vacuum-free feed.
- Vacuum-free feeding: Because milk flows without building a vacuum, baby can pause and feed at a pace that suits them.
- Silicone nipple: The breast-shaped silicone nipple is designed to feel familiar when moving between breast and bottle and to deliver a consistent flow.
- Made to grow with baby: The vent is removable as baby's feeding develops, so one bottle can carry through different feeding stages.
Keeping it clean
The bottle is safe to clean in the dishwasher (top rack only), in electric and microwave sterilisers, or in boiling water — useful flexibility when you need a reliable backup method during load-shedding or a water interruption.
Materials
The bottle is BPA free, made in the USA, and 95% recyclable, so it can be part of a lower-waste feeding routine at the end of its life.
Best For
The Dr. Brown's Natural Flow Narrow-Neck Options+ Bottle is a good option for parents who:
- Want a narrow-neck anti-colic bottle with a vent system for feeding expressed milk or formula
- Prefer a bottle that adapts as baby's feeding develops, with a vent that can be removed later
- Would like a bottle they can clean in the dishwasher, in a steriliser or by boiling
Pandylane Pro Tip: Keep the internal vent in place while baby is younger; once feeding is well established, you can take it out and keep using the same bottle — no need to switch to a new system.
