Leaking Bottles, Bibs & Rashes

Sometimes if you tighten Dr. Brown's bottles too tightly they leak.

i use dr. browns bottles and they don't leak

If you are putting the bottles together correctly and you make sure there is no liquid in the tube they should not be leaking. If they start just release the lid a little to let the fluid drain back into the bottle and tighten it back down.

We never have any issues with the Born Free. Do not like Avent - always leak! As far as bibs, I have never had any issues; hopefully, someone will have some ideas there.

We took a baby washcloth and wrapped it around the collar and had most of the washcloth around the bottle with barely and around the nipple. We used a rubber band to secure it. This caught and soaked up all of the liquid instead of it dripping onto clothing or into the neck crease which eventually ran into our daughter's ear.

It did work but was such a pain we eventually switched bottles to the playtex vent aire bottles as soon as we could.

hope that description made sense. it was kind of hard to explain.

i know this is late but i just wanted to let you know that i went through many different bottles before i finally settled on the born free...i knew they might be the best to begin with, but they were so expensive and i didn't want to pay for them. now i wish i had bought them sooner! if you got your dr. brown's from target, you can still return them (even without the receipt!)...i recommend going to the one at city place (they have a more lax return policy) and if you don't have the box, tell them you are returning the bottles but you don't have a receipt and you'd like store credit to buy new bottles. it worked for me...and may work even if you didn't get the bottles from there! (depends on how honest you want to be, but i shop there all the time so that i can take advantage of my customer rights there...and their awesome return policy!). and in response to the moms who say dr. browns don't leak...they do! i had 9 different bottles for several months and all of them leaked. i only kept using them because i thought they were the "best" but finally realized (a little late) that born free not only didn't leak, but are WAY easier and faster to clean! good luck!!

also to prevent leakage ... do not fill the bottle past the top fill line. Over filling past that will cause leaks.
I think the Gerber bibs have smaller size ones that fit small necks.

Although this might not be the answer for you, I have have found Born Free bottles to be the best at not leaking. I have used several other brands, but feel these are the definitely the best. As for bibs...sorry I don't have any recommendations for that. Good luck!

Our doctor brown bottles have never leaked. Not sure why yours are leaking.
