Both brands share a few qualities that make them perfect choices for colic, gassy, fussy and spit-up babies.
Regardless of which brand you choose, either brand will help the baby transition into formula feeding or bottle feeding after you express the milk.
Even though we prefer Dr. Browns as the first choice for colicky babies, the Avent bottles also consist of a unique valve system that stops the entry of air into the baby’s belly. Since the primary culprit for a gassy or colic baby is gas, the system is designed to prevent air from combining with the formula contents while feeding.
In both companies, there’s an option for glass bottles if you want something that’s strong. Even though it is vulnerable to cracks, there’s little risk of contamination than plastic bottles.
Both are dishwasher safe even though there’s a bit more of work required when cleaning Dr. Browns especially the slender parts.
All the bottles by Doctor Browns and Philips are BPA-free: a potentially toxic chemical when it combines with the bottle’s contents.
