Dr. Brown bottle question

I inherited almost 20 Dr. Brown bottles from my cousin and the three levels of nipples also.  There's a huge bag of those.  I haven't had time to read about the bottles online (there weren't any boxes or papers in the bag of bottles).  I see that in each bottle, there's a long tube.  If I fill the bottle with milk or formula and then tilt the bottle to feed DD, how does the milk go up that tube.  I hope I'm not asking a dumb question.  I was just shown a bottle quickly by my aunt and shown the nipples and where the level is written.  It didn't register right away...How do they work??  Thanks so much for any info, tips and suggestions!!!

    Do you also have the little brownish parts?  Milk can flow in/out of them too and they go on top of the tube.  Without those your bottles won't work.

    EDIT: there is a picture on the front of their site that shows what you are looking for maybe.  https://www.handi-craft.com/

    I'm sure all of the parts are there, I just didn't really check them out thoroughly.  Thanks for that info and I'll look at them tonight closer.  Is the purpose of the tube for air?

    The milk isnt' supposed to go into the tube although it's fine if it does. That tube vents above the milk line when you tip the bottle to feed so that there isn't extra air. :)

    The reason for the tube is so that the air vents out. Make sure you have level 1 nipples for the bottles. My little ones just started using level 2 at 4months old. We aren't going to start with level 3 until they are 6mo old.

    I LOVE Dr. Brown bottles. If you don't have the little cleaning brushes (for the valve and tube) make sure you buy some. It gets all of the little parts clean. The same little brush works for both parts. ?

    I thought the same  thing when I first saw these bottles....but the milk doesn't go up the the tube to the baby's mouth. 

    They are great bottles and my DS has had almost NO painful gas.
