Dr. Brown's Silicone Baby Bottle with Collapsible Insert

Overview

Dr. Brown's silicone baby bottle uses a collapsible insert design, sold as a single 9 ounce bottle weighing about 1 pound.

The collapsible insert is the notable feature here, a liner-style design meant to reduce the air a baby swallows during feeding, an approach Dr. Brown's is known for across its bottle line. Unlike the Comotomo two-pack in this batch, this one ships as a single bottle, so per-bottle cost matters if buying more than one. At 9 ounces it is the largest single bottle here, suited to an older infant with a bigger appetite.

• 9 oz silicone bottle
• Collapsible insert system
• Sold as a single unit

Who it's for

Parents who already know Dr. Brown's anti-colic system and want the 9 ounce silicone version with a collapsible insert, buying one bottle at a time. Less suited to anyone wanting a multi-pack or a bottle without an internal insert.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

The collapsible insert flexes as the baby feeds, a mechanism Dr. Brown's uses to manage internal air pressure without a separate vent tube. That insert is also an extra piece to wash and reassemble compared to simpler single-piece bottles, a tradeoff for the anti-colic effect.
