I have absolutely no doubt that these bottles work for some babies. The 9 other reviews suggest as much and the company would not be in existence if people were not buying their products and more importantly recommending them to others.
But.
We used these on our son. He got the same amount of wind as he used to with Avent (which we found to be better than most others). He gulped as much with these bottles and seemed to suck in as much air (if not more) as with the Avent teats.
I think one of the things as tired and harassed parents is that we look for a quick(ish) fix for our children especially when we see them suffer and theres very little we can do to help them.
Instead of hoping that a bottle with all manner of gadgetry will fix my son's wind problem, I have started to do two or three very simple things, which have helped him. I am happy to share these - so if you wish you can combine them with the use of these bottles:
1. when making up a feed, gently stir the mixture, to avoid mixing in air. I used to shake the bottles which added air. Now that I am stirring them, my son's wind has reduced
2. Check the teats for enlarged holes and its probably wise to change them once a month especially if you feed your child with a bottle at every feed. Larger holes will make the feed come out quicker which will make your child gulp resulting in more air being sucked in, which equals wind!
3. Feed, burp, feed, burp, feed, burp. I used to burp my son after his feed. Now, I usually burp him at least twice during the feed. If he is comfortable, he tends to drink more and tends to therefore finish his feed.
4. Finally, I only have my son's experience of being burped, but I have found a way that makes him burp 100% of the time when he needs it. I put both his arms over my shoulder, so he is (almost) hanging over my shoulder like in a fireman's lift. I then pat his left side for a minute or so. Why? - thats where the stomach is. I then rub his back in a clockwise manner for about 20 seconds or so. Then - and heres where it works 100% of the time, I hold his feet and push them gently upwards. This results in his knees coming up to his tummy. I do this 3 - 4 times. This results in a burp. If on the odd occasion he doesn't burp, I repeat the process.
So.....although I do not rate these bottles, I am sure they clearly work for others. I will stick to Avent, take a little more time in preparing the feed to reduce the air, and make sure I burp my son so he has a restful sleep.

Brilliant! What a difference it made to my baby's feeding when I started using these bottles. My son hardly ever struggled with wind once I started using these bottles. I would not buy any other product or recommend any other as these really do what they say on the box!

We originally bought Tommi tippee bottles before our son was born. We bought these because they were advertised as 'closer to nature' which we thought was a good idea. Unfortunatly these gave the baby so much wind he could barely take any milk for the air in his stomach!! Which ment we were feeding him little and often and he was always extreme vomitting.
We read that Dr Browns were recommended by midwifes as a solution to winding issues. The air system works by having a tube run in the middle of the bottle from near the bottom up to an insert under the teat, which has side holes in the sides to let air in and out in to the threads. When you tip the bottle past the correct angle, the end of the tube at the bottom sits out of the milk so as baby drinks the air can fill in behind the milk thus stopping air bubbles coming through the teat.
The transformation was instant! While not completely getting rid of wind (some wind is very normal) we were able to feed the baby more in one go and winding took minutes, not 10's of minutes. You can't imagine how much of a relief this was, we all were able to get more sleep!.
There are some minor issues.
-You can't mix the formula properly in the bottles, the manual says to stir the powder in so not to clog up the air system. You can't mix formula adequetly by stirring, you have to shake!! We got round this by using our now redundant tommi tippee bottles for mixing then pouring into the dr Brown's.
-Another point is that you have to have the teat on losely when heating the bottle or the bottle will pressuize and some milk will go up the air system. You just have to remember to tighten it before testing on your wrist or you will pour the whole lot over yourself.
-Some people complain that the air system is complicated to assemble. Come on, please! If you find this complicted should you really be having kids?
-People also complain that the bottle can leak during feeding, this never happened for us, but I can see if you don't tighten the cap and teat adequetly then it might leak (you do have to be quite firm with it).
-The last minor point is the slightly annoying travel insert you need if you take a filled bottle out for trips. There is a slim white disc that goes between the teat and the air system to stop it leaking if bottle is not upright, this is needed because the top cap has 3 hole in it (I guess to let the teat breath or something).
The above points I've made are all minor and are easily tolerated for the benefits these bottles bring. They are priced the same as rivals so they woun't cost you any more. I gave them 5 stars for the extra sleep they gave us!!
