Has anyone else had trouble with Dr Browns bottles leaking everywhere? Trying to feed the kid and the milk is just pouring out! Seems that any liquid in the filter and it renders the bottle useless

Call Dr Brown’s customer service. No kidding the best, most helpful customer service I’ve ever dealt with.

This happened when I didn’t have the green thing secured in properly or it got jostled loose.

The only other leaking issue we’ve had is when we were warming a bottle it would cause the milk to rise up through the green spout a leak a little. Unscrewing the cap slightly to release air pressure helped.

Other than that they have worked very well for us and, most importantly, kid drinks out of them easily.

Yes. We used the playtex ventaire a lot but those like to leak too. Current favorite is Avent glass bottles. They have never leaked on me once

Could be how you are washing/drying the bottle. If you’re not hand washing could be problem number 1. If you sanitizing with steam and with one of those microwaveable things check to make sure you’re using enough water, should be a bunch in there whenever you finish.

Don’t tighten it too much.

Yeah we’ve read everything about not heating them with the filter, not tightening them too much or too loose, making sure everything is in place but it still seems it pours out and it always seems to happen at the nighttime feeding which I’m sure you know doesn’t make for the stress free, calming feeding it’s supposed to be

It could be that when the baby is relaxed they aren’t providing sufficient suction. This may allow the milk/formula to flow out through the venting mechanism in the ring/nipple/valve.

Seriously though, call their customer support. We were using a munchkin brush to clean the bottles and it ended up scratching the insides. My wife called just to see if this was safe. They said they didn’t want us using them and offered to replace all 24 of our bottles (we have twins) for free.

Had better luck with the Joovy boob bottle. Less parts to clean too

Munchkin all the way

Now that I’m vaxed and seeing my friends, it’s clear we have little left in common, and honestly a lot of the things they do straight up embarrasses me. I don’t want to lose these long term friends. Has anyone else been in this situation?
