Review Group #: 1 (5.00 stars) 24 Reviews	Great bottles to reduce gas and colic issues • These bottles work much better than regular feeding bottles »See Details My baby had problems with gas and these bottles really helped. Great bottles to reduce gas. I love Dr. Browns bottles. These bottles work much better than regular feeding bottles. My baby had serious gas and colic issues. My baby has only used these type bottles and I'm not convinced they really do cut down on gas. I own Tommie Tippee bottles and evenflo bottles as well. I love these bottles. I love these bottles!! And these bottles really helped his tummy. »Hide Details
Review Group #: 2 (4.00 stars) 13 Reviews	These bottles clean up great • Can be hard to clean »See Details My baby loves these bottles and they clean up great. Beware no cleaning brush. Some reviewers have complained about the extra time required to clean the inserts, however it only adds a minute to the cleaning of 3 or 4 bottles, so no real impost. My newborn loves this bottles.. clean with a toothbrush. Cleaning is a PAIN! The feeding bottles does the job in minimizing colic but it so cumbersome to clean/maintain/dry them. Otherwise, I highly recommend these bottles. Philips bottles look very small. These bottles really do seem to reduce gas and spit up. »Hide Details
Review Group #: 3 (3.50 stars) 14 Reviews	Vent pipe works well • Little bit more work to clean because of the internal vent system • Work very well to help decrease the ingestion of air as a baby takes in fluids • Neck of these bottles is the exact same size as the bottles that come with Medela and Spectra pumps »See Details These bottles actually work very well. Many have mentioned that it's a bit of work to clean all the parts of these bottles, and it's true that the extra little parts make for some extra work. Vent pipe works well. Little bit more work to clean because of the internal vent system. Dr Browns bottles work very well to help decrease the ingestion of air as a baby takes in fluids. Should you try to interchange nipples or collars with standard bottles, your Dr browns will leak constantly. Also, even if you've to wash the bottles by hand, I think it's worth the work to prevent a gassy, fussy baby! But, excluding the lid, each bottle has 4 pieces to (nipple, nipple ring, and 2 piece insert) to clean. The bottles are great and works well for my newborn. One other advantage of these bottles (or of ANY standard, non-wide-neck bottles) is that the neck of the bottles is the exact same size as the bottles that come with Medela and Spectra pumps, so you can pump right into these bottles and save yourself from having to clean the pump bottles. »Hide Details
Review Group #: 4 (2.50 stars) 13 Reviews	Bottles leak no matter how tight you screw the cap on • Many users complain about these bottles leaking from the collars »See Details Considering the amount you pay for these bottles, these bottles shouldn't be leaking. Bottles leak no matter how tight you screw the cap on. The bottles leaks from the collars. We've NEVER had a problem with the bottles leaking. Avent bottles are much easier to clean, cheaper and never leaks!. And it's impossible to transport the assembled bottles without leaks. These bottles have too many parts to them to clean and was constantly leaking. Sometimes these bottles leak from the bottom of the ring. The bottles work fine. Every bottle leaks........they leak in gushers......and it doesn't make any sense why. »Hide Details
