At Dr. Browns, our focus has always been to create innovative feeding products to promote good health and optimal nutrition for baby. Designed by a doctor in 1996 and patented in 1997, Dr. Brown's natural flow is the only baby bottle to feature an internal vent system that: helps preserve vitamins C, A, and E by minimizing oxidation of breastmilk and formula; provides positive pressure vacuum free feeding similar to breastfeeding; and helps reduce colic, spit up, burping and gas by eliminating negative pressure and air bubbles. Dr. Browns natural flow baby bottles are and contain no PVC, lead or phthalates, and have received numerous design awards and acclaim from the medical community. In fact, many of our bottles go to hospitals, NICUs, and doctor offices. Most important, moms are talking and theyre sharing with excitement the improved feeding habits of their babies. In keeping with the standards of our baby bottle, Dr. Browns products offer a unique design that yields a better functionality for mom and good health for baby. To maintain a brand that moms can rely on, we place a heavy focus on product research and development to ensure every product achieves the best possible result. This means that we invest as much time as necessary to create quality feeding products with distinctive health related benefits.
🍼 Overview & Key Features
Flow Level: Medium flow, specifically Level 2, intended for babies around 3 months and older.
Pack Size: Two silicone nipples per package, compatible with Dr. Brown’s narrow‑neck bottles
Material: Made from super-soft, 100% BPA‑free silicone, designed to feel gentle and flexible yet durable during feeding sessions.
Shape & Design: Breast-inspired nipple shape encourages a natural latch that eases transitioning between breast and bottle.
Anti‑Colic System: Works with Dr. Brown’s patented internal vent system to provide vacuum‑free feeding, which reduces gas, spit-up, and burping by channeling air into the bottle—not the baby’s stomach.

✅ Benefits
Consistent Medium Flow: Offers a feeding pace that often works well for babies who have outgrown slow-flow nipples. The flow consistency is reliable across manufactured units.
Reduced Feeding Time: Many parents report significantly faster feeds after switching to Level 2—even when baby is younger than the recommended age—because Level 1 was too slow.
Supports Natural Latch & Transition: Designed to mimic breastfeeding rhythm and texture, helping maintain breastfeeding with fewer disruptions
Clinically Proven Anti-Colic: Paired with the vent system, the nipple helps reduce colic symptoms and preserve nutrients in breastmilk or formula.
⚠️ User Feedback & Considerations
May be Too Fast Initially: Some infants who move to Level 2 too early experience coughing, choking, or increased spit-up, indicating the flow may be too fast for them.
Flow Variability by Origin: Similar to other nipple models, there can be subtle variations in flow between batches—some Level 2 nipples may pour faster or slower depending on manufacturing origin (e.g., Germany vs. China).
Adjustment Period Recommended: A gradual transition—switching during select feeds—often helps babies adapt comfortably, as reported by experienced parents.
👶 Who It’s Best For
Babies aged approximately 3 to 6 months who show signs of slower intake or frustration with Level 1 nipples.
Infants starting complementary feeding (solids or cereal), often needing a medium flow.
Parents looking for consistent feeding pace, minimal colic symptoms, and ease of transitioning between breast and bottle.
📌 Tips for Usage
Monitor feeding behavior: If your baby takes very long, seems frustrated, or frequently falls asleep mid-feeding on Level 1, try Level 2.
Start gradually: Introduce Level 2 during one feed per day to allow the baby to adapt—especially if they’ve been on Level 1.
Watch for signs of overfeeding like coughing, dribbling, or increased spitting up—these may indicate flow is too fast.
Pacing helps: Continue paced bottle feeding techniques if the flow feels overwhelming, even if baby seems ready for a faster level.
🧠 Real-Parent Insights
“He chowed down 3 ounces in 12 minutes… this totally changed my baby…” —switched to Level 2 nipple before 3 months and feeding dramatically improved.
“My baby was using Level 1 and we switched to Level 2; while she was initially coughing, after a week of paced feeds she did great.” —common transition pattern among parents.
✅ Final Verdict
The Dr. Brown’s Natural Flow Level 2 Narrow Silicone Nipple (2-Pack) is a reliable medium-flow nipple tailored for babies around 3 months and older with evolving feeding needs. It offers consistent flow, reduces feeding duration, and mitigates digestive discomfort via the trusted internal vent system. While some babies adapt immediately, others may need time and pacing strategies to transition comfortably. Watch your baby’s cues, and consult your pediatrician if unsure—especially if reflux or spitting-up becomes problematic.
