Dr. Brown’s Options+ Wide-Neck Baby Bottle Nipple, Level 3 ( 6 to 9 Months), Pack of 2
Designed alongside medical professionals, the soft, 100% silicone Wide-Neck Nipple helps baby naturally latch. The breast-like shape encourages a proper latch for a more natural bottle feeding experience. Perfect for switching from breast to bottle and back again!
🍼 Description & Intended Use
Designed for babies 6 months and older, the Level 3 nipple offers a medium‑fast flow rate, ideal as your baby transitions to thicker feedings (e.g. more mature formula or expressed milk). The suggested age is 6 months+, though actual readiness—depending on your baby’s feeding style—may vary .
Comes in a 2‑pack, made of 100% soft silicone, and fits all Dr. Brown’s Options+ Wide‑Neck bottles .

✅ Key Features
Breast‑Like Shape & Smooth Latch
The nipple is contoured to resemble a natural breast, promoting proper latch and helping avoid nipple confusion for babies switching between breast and bottle feeding .
Anti‑Colic Internal Vent System
Works with Dr. Brown’s vent system to deliver vacuum‑free feeding, helping reduce colic, gas, spit‑up, and burping. It also aims to better preserve nutrients and support easier digestion and sleep .
The vent can be removed once a baby’s feeding develops, providing a more familiar nipple‑vented bottle feel .
Consistent Flow
Each Level 3 nipple delivers clinically consistent flow, so switching between nipples of the same level doesn’t change feed pace unexpectedly .
Safety & Convenience
Made from BPA‑free, high‑grade silicone. Safe for use in dishwasher (top rack), sterilizer, or boiling water .

📦 What’s Included
Two Level 3 wide‑neck nipples, compatible with all Dr. Brown’s Options+ Wide‑Neck bottles (bottle sold separately) .

⚖️ Parent Feedback & Real‑World Notes
Nipple flow: Some parents found the wide‑neck nipples too fast or experienced nipple collapse if the bottle angle or fit was off. Ensuring the bottle is assembled correctly and adjusting the angle helps avoid collapse or leakage .
Wide‑neck preference: Not all babies seal well on wide‑neck nipples; some experience dribbling or bubbles. This is normal and varies—narrow‑neck may work better for some babies .

⚠️ Considerations
Ensure the bottle is assembled and tightened properly—not too tight or too loose—to prevent leaks or nipple collapse .
Watch your baby’s behavior: if feedings become too long, fussy, or milk spillage increases, consider adjusting nipple size (either down or up).
Some babies may struggle to latch on wide‑neck nipples; narrow‑neck is an alternative if dribbling or drips are persistent .
