Dr. Brown's Anti-Colic Baby Bottles & Feeding Sets
If your healthy baby is crying inconsolably for hours, take a deep breath. You are doing an amazing job, and this is temporary. It is likely colic a common phase affecting 1 in 5 infants.
The "Rule of Three"
Doctors typically diagnose colic if crying lasts for:
- 3+ hours a day,
- 3+ days a week,
- For 3+ consecutive weeks (usually peaking around 4 to 6 weeks of age).
Physical Signs to Watch For: Arched backs, clenched fists, legs pulled up to the chest, or a red face during crying spells.
What Causes It?
While there is no single definitive cause, the primary culprit is an immature digestive system. Swallowed air during feeding creates trapped gas bubbles in their tiny tummies, leading to the painful cramping that triggers colic.
From newborn to toddler, Dr. Brown's products grow with
baby. In just a few clicks, you'll find everything you need to
feed, soothe, and care for your little one.
How the Patented Vent System Combats Colic
Air enters the bottle collar
When your baby feeds, air is channelled directly into the collar of the bottle rather than mixing into the milk.
Channelled down the internal vent
The patented green vent tube routes the air straight down to the bottom of the bottle, bypassing the liquid entirely.
Prevents aeration and bubbles
Because air never mixes with the breastmilk or formula, it completely prevents bubbles from forming. No bubbles means no ingested gas.
Vacuum-free, comfortable feeding
The result is a fluid, natural flow that mimics breastfeeding, eliminating the vacuum pressure that causes ear fluid buildup and painful stomach wind.
