Feeding your baby can be one of the most stressful parts of new parenthood. With all of the products and shortcuts out there designed to make mealtime easier, figuring out what’s right for your little one can be overwhelming. To help, the experts at Dr. Brown’s create unique baby feeding products for every stage. And to do our part, we’ve chosen our five favorite products that are innovative, helpful and easy to use.
Wide-Neck Bottle
All of Dr. Brown’s bottles are great; the patented internal vent system reduces colic and preserves essential vitamins by keeping air from mixing with the milk. The wide-neck bottle is great for transitioning babies because the size and shape resembles breastfeeding and helps avoid nipple confusion.

Divided Plates
Dr. Brown has partnered with nutritionists to design these handy portion divided plates for toddlers. The plate base is designed to prevent skidding–they held up perfectly in a test toss across my desk–which is great if your child gets fussy while eating.
