Dr. Brown's Natural Flow Options+ Wide-Neck Baby Bottles 5 oz — 4-Pack, Anti-Colic Vent & Slow-Flow Nipple

Dr. Brown’s Natural Flow Options+ Wide-Neck 5 oz baby bottle is an anti-colic feeding bottle with an internal vent and level 1 slow-flow silicone nipple, sold in a 4-pack and designed for newborns (0m+).

These 150 mL wide-neck bottles combine a vacuum-free internal vent system and a breast-like silicone nipple to support comfortable bottle feeding while reducing spit-up, burping and gas. The Options+ design can be used with the vent in place for anti-colic performance or without it as your infant’s feeding needs change, offering a single-bottle solution that grows with baby. Manufactured BPA free and dishwasher-safe (top rack), the bottles are recyclable and part of Dr. Brown’s sustainability collaboration with Plastic Bank.

How does the internal vent system help during feeds?

The antimicrobial-tested internal vent separates air from milk to prevent vacuum pressure inside the bottle. That means a steadier flow of milk and less swallowing of air, which often reduces fussiness associated with colic-like symptoms. The vent system is also shown to help preserve nutrients in expressed breast milk and formula by minimizing oxidation.

• Vacuum-free feeding mimics the natural flow of breastfeeding.
• Reduces spit-up, burping and gas by keeping air out of milk.
• Helps retain vitamins in breast milk and formula.

What does the Level 1 slow-flow nipple feel like for newborns?

The Level 1 nipple is made of soft silicone with a breast-like shape that encourages an effective latch and a calm, paced feed. Its consistent slow flow supports newborns learning to coordinate suck-swallow-breathe without being overwhelmed. The nipple design eases transitions between breast and bottle and supports feeding at baby’s own pace.

• Soft, flexible silicone with a natural teat shape.
• Slow, steady flow appropriate for newborns (0m+).
• Supports latch similar to breastfeeding for easier transitions.

Can I adapt the bottle as my baby grows?

The Options+ bottle is built to evolve: use the internal vent for anti-colic performance early on, then remove it when your baby no longer needs it, so there’s no need to switch bottle brands. Nipples are available in multiple flow levels to advance with developmental stages. This adaptability makes the bottle a practical choice across feeding milestones.

• Vent system removable for vacuum-free or standard bottle use.
• Compatible with higher flow nipples as baby matures.
• Single bottle platform reduces need to buy different bottles later.

How do I clean and care for these bottles?

Bottles and silicone nipples are dishwasher-safe on the top rack and can also be sterilized in electric or microwave sterilizers or boiled briefly. Disassemble the vent parts before cleaning to reach internal surfaces. Because parts are recyclable and BPA free, they meet common household safety and sustainability expectations when cared for as directed.

• Dishwasher top-rack safe and compatible with typical sterilizers.
• Disassemble vent assembly for thorough cleaning and drying.
• BPA-free construction; parts are recyclable where facilities exist.

Who is this for? Parents and caregivers of newborns who want a medically endorsed, adaptable bottle that reduces swallowed air and supports nutrient preservation will find Dr. Brown’s Options+ Wide-Neck 5 oz bottles useful. It's well suited to families transitioning between breast and bottle feeding, those managing reflux or gas concerns, and anyone seeking a single bottle system that scales from newborn slow-flow nipples to faster flows as feeding skills develop. The 4-pack gives caregivers convenient rotation for cleaning or travel while supporting sustainable choices through Dr. Brown’s Plastic Bank partnership.
