does anyone know the difference between dr. browns wide neck and regular bottles?  i have avent bottles that are leaking so thinking of switching to dr. browns

The wide neck ones have a wider neck and therefore a different nipple.

DS doesn't like the bigger nipple that comes with the wide-neck ones.  He'll drink from them, but it's just not his preference.

i found the thinner ones are easier to hold and you can fit 2 in the side pocket to most diaper bags.

We just swtiched to Dr. Brown's and love them.  We were using the VentAire wide bottles & I'd hoped to find the same in Dr. B, but all Target had was the standard size & DD did just fine with transitioning from wide to narrow.  They're a bit more work to clean, but have made a huge difference in her gas/fussiness, so it's worth it. Good luck!

We have Avent bottles also & they use to leak.  I found a blog that told me how to correctly put the nipples in the rings & now they never leak, you may want to try that.  I can't find the blog site right now so hopefully I explain this okay.  The nipple has I believe 4 air flow holes, at least 3 of these air flow holes need to align with the notches in the ring.  Once you align them it will not leak anymore.  If you have any questions just page me & I will try to help you more!

I switched from the Playtex Vent Aire bottles to Dr. Brown's wide neck bottles recently, and have seen a HUGE difference in my LO's fussiness and spitting up after eating! Dr. Brown's get rave reviews from everyone who uses them, so I figured, it couldn't hurt to try them. It takes about a minute more than usual to clean the extra parts, not a big deal. I use the wide neck and level two wide nipples simply because that is DS's preference. He doesn't seem to like standard nipples.
