The Dr Brown's Natural Flow Wide-Neck Options+ Designer Bottle in the Ocean Whale design is a 270 ml anti-colic baby bottle for feeding expressed milk or formula. It pairs a wide, breast-shaped silicone teat with Dr. Brown's internal vent system for vacuum-free feeding, giving you a wide-neck bottle that's easy to fill, easy to hold and easy to take apart at the end of the day.
What sets the Options+ system apart is its flexibility. The bottle is designed to be used with the internal vent in place, but the vent can be removed later as your baby's feeding develops "nowfont" " without needing to switch to a different bottle. That means one bottle can carry you through several feeding stages, which is helpful when you're building up a set.
How it works
- Internal vent system: The vent is designed to allow vacuum-free feeding, so milk can flow without a vacuum building up inside the bottle.
- Options+ design: Use the bottle with the vent in place, then remove it as your baby's feeding matures "nowfont" " the same bottle adapts rather than being replaced.
- Wide silicone teat: The silicone teat is shaped with a wide base and is made to give a consistent flow, so your baby can feed at their own pace.
Cleaning and preparation
The bottle is safe to use in the dishwasher (top rack only), in electric and microwave sterilisers, and in boiling water, so it fits whichever cleaning routine already works for you. It's also BPA free. As with any vented bottle, it's worth taking the vent apart fully so you can clean and dry every piece.
A designer bottle with an ocean-friendly story
Beyond the Ocean Whale design, this bottle is part of a collaboration with Plastic Bank aimed at preventing ocean plastic and reducing plastic footprint. The bottle is 95% recyclable and made in the USA "nowfont" " details that may matter if the environmental side of your buying decisions is important to you.
