Silicone handles praised for helping baby self-feed
We just started using the silicone handles and my 5 month old can now hold the bottle on his own. It’s been a game changer.

Mixed feelings on Dr. Brown's bottles; handles not mentioned
I have a love/hate relationship with Dr. Brown's. They do help with gas but the leaking and washing all those parts is a nightmare.

Sippy spout and handles aid transition to cup
We got the sippy spout and the silicone handles. Baby took to it right away. Makes the transition so much smoother.

Persistent leaking with Dr. Brown's bottles
These bottles leak SO MUCH. I’ve tried everything. Even when capped they leak in the diaper bag.

Frustration with cleaning and leaking
I hate Dr. Brown and his stupid bottles. So many parts to clean and they always leak. Never again.
