No More Tummy Pains!
When my son was still on forumla, he had gassy stomach pains and problems up until I was given a set of Dr. Johns bottles as a gift from a friend. She didn't know what a real lifesaver she gave me! We had no more nights of fussiness and sleeplessness due to stomach/gas pains after we started using these bottles, started out with the smaller bottles and I agree with a few of the other reviews, would be best to just go straight to the 8oz size but these are great bottles, I have recommended them to many friends and nurses as well, and I just can't say enough about how much these bottles helped my lil guy. If your baby is having stomach pains and you are looking for an end to the tears and sleepless nights, go with Dr. Johns! Well worth the extra $$ paid for themselves time and time again.

Wow, no burping necessary!
I kinda expected the natural flow bottles to not really prevent gas, but I was wrong. After switching to these bottles we haven't had to burp our daughter.
The only downside is cleaning time, it can take a bit longer manually washing. Dishwasher it doesn't make a difference, and I suppose the extra few seconds it takes to wash is better than the amount of time it takes to burp a baby and is way better than any spitting up as a result!

Worth the cost!!!
These bottles are a true must have! They are the only worthwhile bottles on the market and are well worth the extra price as well as the extra time to wash. They really limit the gas intake and we never had an issue with leaking bottles, like so many other brands. It is a bit of a hassle to get all the pieces in the dishwasher. I like the wide neck bottles because they are closer to breast feeding and when my son got older, it was easier for him to hold the bottle on his own.

They helped
Our daughter had a lot of gas and was spitting up all the time. These bottles did not solve the problem, but noticeably helped the situation.

Works wonders for gas
We purchased these bottles for my 2nd child. She had gas from day 1. She was fussy all the time. You could tell her belly was hurting her. We switched to these bottles and she has been a totally different child every since. She is much happier.
I have to add that what works for one child may not work for another. We tried these with my 1st child who had acid reflux and they did not work for him. We used the bottle 2 times and both times he through up every bit of the formula we fed him with it. The first time we did not know it was the bottle, the second time we made the connection. We switched him back to his old bottles (Gerber triangle shaped ones) and it stopped.
I would suggest buying one and trying it because it did help my daughter. We have been happy parents that get sleep at night every since we started using them for her.

No great results here...
After talking to my daughter who had tried everything she knew to do about baby's gas, I looked online for some solution she had not tried yet. Dr. Brown's had amazing reviews so I ordered 2 3-packs for baby grandaughter. They didn't seem to have any effect at all. I am glad they have been helpful for some of you, tho. It's a very difficult time for moms...long days, longer nights, little sleep. Oh, how I wish Dr. Brown's had been her solution. Best wishes!

A little higher maintenance, but better for baby...
First of all, I'm sure you have read all the comments about "extra cleaning time". Trust me -- running the little brush through the vent and the tube takes an extra 3 seconds per bottle (yes, I counted), so do not let that scare you off using these bottles.
The second most common complaint is leaking. We also had some leaks at the beginning, but there are 3 things you can do to prevent leaks (and yes -- prevent, not just reduce leaking; I have a "leak free" feeding history now that I follow these rules):
1. If you are re-heating the bottle, unscrew the collar a little to let the hot air escape. If trapped in the bottle, the expanding hot air will force milk/formula up into the vent tube and you will have a leak. We use the Night & Day Bottle Warmer, and I had leaks after warming the bottle until I figured out the problem.
2. Do not shake the bottle if you are preparing powdered formula or have reheated the bottle. Swirl the bottle or stir the formula (pop a few PLASTIC spoons in your sterilizer - microwaves don't like metal!), or shake it without the vent and tube in place. Shaking also forces liquid up into the vent.
3. MOST IMPORTANT: Make sure the tip of the vent tube is clear of liquid when feeding the baby. Sounds obvious, but when you're focusing on your little guy/gal, you don't always pay attention to the bottle angle. If the tip of the tube is covered in formula or just barely above the surface, liquid will slop down the tube and leak out the vents under the nipple collar.
We have been using the small 4oz bottles for our newborn son (now 3 weeks old), and he has very little burping and spitting up compared to nieces and nephews I have fed using other bottle brands. The Level 1 nipple flow seems to be fine, but there is also a Newborn nipple if your baby likes to feed more slowly.
The biggest challenge with these bottles have been sterilizing all the parts. We have a microwave sterilizer (which works fine once you figure out where all the parts go). However, we switched to the Philips Avent iQ24 Sterilizer, because it holds 6 of the 4oz bottles and all the parts (bottles, vent tubes, and 3 caps on the bottom, collars and beige vents in the middle basket, and nipples and 3 caps plus the assembly tongs in the top basket). I don't know how well all the parts and larger 8oz bottles will fit (or how many), but the convenience is there -- you can set a 24 hour sterilization cycle and leave it on overnight.
All in all, we're very satisfied with these bottles, and would definitely recommend them.

Great bottles, especially for reflux
Pros:
Durable, Easy To Clean, Easy To Use, No gas from bottles, No leaks
Cons: Some people feel that the extra parts with the vent, etc. are hard to clean. (Maybe it's because I work as a vet tech and clean a ton of little tiny parts and things with lots of nooks and crannies after every surgery we do, but I don't find the cleaning of these bottles to be that big a deal-it's really only a couple of extra seconds, and you can use the dishwasher if you want...)
These are great bottles, whether using the regular or wide mouths. My baby tends to gulp when she gets a bottle, and these bottles have been great-she has never ingested any air from the bottles themselves, which greatly reduces her gas. (She is mostly breastfed, but these are great for breastmilk or formula when I can't be with her.) The wide-mouths are more like a breast, too.
I don't find that the extra parts are really that big a deal to clean, even if you don't put them through the dishwasher. It's totally worth it anyway to not have air in the bottle. I especially like that you can get regular sized-bottles, or, my preference, the wide-mouths (we use both).
They also don't leak at all!
The bottles are durable and nice-looking, too, and come with three different nipple types each (Level 1,2 and Y-cut) as well as a little pipe cleaner to clean the vent holes in the special inserts. I felt they were reasonably priced almost anywhere I looked; CVS even keeps a few styles in stock.
I'd recommend getting either the Dr. Brown's cleaning brush, or I really like Munchkin's bottle brush with the nipple brush that hides in the big brush's handle for cleaning the rest of the bottle...

Great Bottles
These are in my opinion the best bottles on the market although they have a lot of pieces and can be tedious to clean. They are worth it. If you are nursing the regular not wide neck are better.
