Dr. Brown's Bottles

For the Dr. Brown's bottles, you actually need all the parts to make it not leak - the rubber part, the tube, the ring....you can use other brand nipples, but the other parts need to be there to keep it from leaking, and for the bottle to work as it's designed to work.

The only place where I've seen "replacement parts" is at Babies-r-Us. But even Walgreen's carries the bottles now.

Hi,

My two were breastfed almost exclusively, so I am not a bottle expert, but sometimes they needed to have a bottle of my milk. I know nothing about Dr. Brown's bottles.

I have never heard of a reason not to re-use a nipple, as long as you are cleaning it properly between uses. I'd say if what you have works, keep using it.

i don't know about dr.brown's bottles.
but we had a set of glass bottles with regular nipples and i think it was made by evenflo. it came in a 3 pack from babies r us.

Back when my babies 17,16,12 were using the occasional bottle, if the flow wasn't great enough, you just heated a pin and poked the end of the nipple, that simple to get a bigger hole so it won't collapse. Hope this helps.

You should be able to just buy some other nipples. I am not 100% sure though. Since he is collapsing the nipple that is generally a sign that the flow is not great enough for his suck. Most bottle brands have different stages for that reason, different ages need different flows.
