Dr. Brown's specialist preemie bottles

For parents of premature babies, feeding can bring extra challenges. While breastfeeding is always encouraged and supported, some babies born early may need a little additional help in those first weeks.

Because their sucking and swallowing reflexes are not yet fully developed, premature babies may find breastfeeding difficult at first. In these situations, a specialist bottle such as the Dr. Brown’s Preemie Bottle can provide gentle support, helping to establish and protect feeding routines.

Unlike unvented bottles, the Dr. Brown’s Preemie Bottle features a unique patented vent system that eliminates the vacuum pressure babies can struggle against. This creates a consistent, vacuum-free flow, making it easier for preemies with weaker sucking reflexes to feed comfortably. By reducing air bubbles, the system also helps to minimise colic, wind and discomfort, supporting a calmer, more relaxed feeding experience for both baby and parent.

Developed with healthcare professionals and thoughtfully designed for the smallest feeders, the Dr. Brown’s Preemie Bottle is smaller than standard bottles, perfectly sized for premature babies’ needs. The compact 60ml bottle comes with an ultra-slow flow teat, which is 47% slower than a standard level-1 teat. This gentle, carefully controlled pace helps protect delicate feeding development while ensuring babies receive the nourishment they need, with minimal discomfort.
