Dr. Brwn's Wide Neck 8oz Vs Reg Dr. Brwn 8oz

[Anonymous]

My dd is finally able to get more than 4oz. I use the regular Dr. Brown’s bottles. But when I went to get the 8oz bottles I didn’t like how big they are. So I was thinking of switching to the Wide Neck bottles. But I know the nipples are different. Does anyone know if switching her to a different nipple type would confuse her or effect her acid reflux and gas issues?

not sure if this helps?

you can use the parts with other bottles- i learned that from 2 posters from another board:

Born Free bottles with the wide mouth Dr. Brown’s nipples and vents: They work great and there are no leaks.

Dr. Brown’s nipple and vent system fits the colored evenflo bottles – $3 for 3. They are BPS free and MUCH cheaper than the Born Free. In the plastic bottles, the vents work fine without being trimmed. They don’t go straight down, they veer off center slightly – but with no problems at all.

I know that the size of the nipple is a bit different to fit the bottle, but I think that the actual elongated part that the suck is pretty much the same. I would try it and see what happens. If she doesn’t like the switch then you know you might be stuck, or you can look at other options like Laura’s suggesting.
