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.

    • Under Section 3 of Criminal Law Act 1967 ANY PERSON may use such force as necessary in the prevention of crime or assisting in the arrest of offenders or suspected offenders. Key message is the force used must be proportionate.  Sadly many of these offenders carry knives (such as the two who stabbed people in Bishopsgate when bystanders intervened. The offenders were subsequently tracked down but it might have been a murder enquiry but for a few millimetres.) Therefore robust action should only be taken if you are confident. As per the previous post, your actions will be scrutinised but could be completely lawful.
    • And at about 8 I saw a phone being snatched on Grove Vale-as well as horrible for the victim it was incredibly dangerous.  Bike rider rode along pavement at high speed and then continued on to cut into road in equally dangerous manner
    • Leon is a fantastic electrician. He's recently done a couple of jobs for us during a renovation. He's done them brilliantly. The standard of the work is exceptional - we've had some other electricians in who haven't done anywhere near as great a job. Also, he's brilliant at communicating about the job at hand in a clear and concise way. Would highly recommend!
    • Poundland on LL was/is badly run. It’s often too hot, the products sometimes lack price tags, the music is loud and cuts out every fifteen seconds so I can’t say I’m surprised but I’m sad it’s going.
