We found this too sometimes with dr browns bottles and decided that it either happened if too hot or bizarrely if the White teat holder bit (am sure there is probably a correct name for that bit!?!) was screwed too tight. If it leaks when you shake it seemed to stop leaking if you just undo then redo the parts..

Strawb, I have just read your other post re colic. Dr browns special bottles do help with this and I think you should stick to them over other types despite the leaking issue. It did really annoy me till I realised I was causing it and could fix it. Anything better than a crying baby.


The other thing that gives colicky babies relief is to hold them upside down along your arm, one leg on each side, and swing them (gently!). It seems to force air out of their little tummies and they love it.

Strawbs it happens most when the water is very hot as others have said, so helps to let it cool down in the kettle first.

I use doctor browns and I don't shake the bottle when I add the formula, I stir it vigorously with a spoon for a few seconds instead.

Haha, yes exactly. Facing the floor. The alternative would be guaranteed to increase the crying....

I also swore by holding them up fairly straight (head supported obviously) on the basis everything would work its way down more easily. High scientific as youcan see.

    • Hello.   Thanks Nigel and Hparker 😀   I've got new slots available for new students looking for a piano teacher or guitar teacher.   You could start in the new term beginning September, or I'm also available adhoc-styles through the summer holidays at times.   I teach all ages, in most styles, in lots of different ways according to how you learn/like to learn.   Give me a call or text on 07730 402336.   I have connections to lots of performance opportunities/networks too.   I run regular events /student concerts, and play in bands/perform.   Natalie. 
    • So do I, but I think they are in trouble as well.  Anyway, that space wouldn't be big enough.
    • I'm not talking about Starmer. I was responding to a post which  said that  Corbyn was unelectable. How people voted in the "more hotly contested election" is irrelevant. Corbyn wasn't leading the Labour Party then. Starmer was. And the turnout for Labour reflects that. 
    • Reeves says she's in charge and no no's Rayners plan, what happens now?
