Natural Flow Anti-Colic Baby Bottle

B
PFR Grade
Good — mostly plastic-free with minor concerns
Dr. Brown's uses BPA-free polypropylene for their standard bottles and borosilicate glass for their glass option. The anti-colic vent system adds plastic components. The glass option is significantly safer.
PFR Recommended

Anti-colic baby bottle available in BPA-free plastic or glass. One of the most popular baby bottles in the US.

Why We Rated It This Way

Dr. Brown's glass option is an excellent choice. The BPA-free plastic option is better than older BPA-containing bottles but still plastic. If choosing Dr. Brown's, always choose the glass option.
