When using a different nipple (I have Dr Browns regular); can you also use the cap?

It shouldn't make a difference, but I have to say that I think that the silicone cover is the worst part of the design because it is so flexible. I have only used Pura Kiki nipples, but when shaking the bottle to mix formula I am extra cautious to press the cover down on the nipple or when storing the bottles in the diaper bag, I make sure they are stored upright. I don't think the Dr. Browns will be any different since the silicone cover holds on to the metal ring and not the nipples.

Currently we use Philips Avent nipples. The top of the nipple does touch the silicone cap/cover. The nipple does slightly invert or bend to one side, when the cover is slid all the way down on the ring. However, it has not interfered with the function of either the nipple or the cap/cover. Once the cap/cover is removed the nipple retains its original shape.

They come with a plastic cap that covers the nipple. The nipple would have to be on the bottle to have the cap function properly.

I used the 4 oz Avent bottles which are thicker than the Dr Browns and it worked. I hope that helps!

Try the two pack. You can find them at your local BRU or Walmart. And occasionally the grocery store. They are make by "NUK". If this fits your bottles than the others should, they are the same size ring on the collar. The nipple however is slightly wider on the NUK. Zariah took to both so I didn't have any issues if I was in a jam and needed to pick up while out.

Yes. You can use the sponge end for most of the nipple and the other end has a plastic tip for the nipple. I have always seen a bristle nipple end vs plastic.

No. You can use Medela nipple (or other brands, I'm sure), or you can get one time use nipple on Amazon.

YES!!! I did with my Medela in style and just used the Medela caps for the Dr Brown's bottles. The Hygiene Enjoye have adapters that allow you to pump into these bottles as well.

Both the nipple has to face the same direction. However I used this one used zip ties to hold it in place.

Yes! The standard nipples (any level) will fit the standard Dr. Brown bottles. My 11 month old son was a preemie and the Dr. Brown brand was recommended to us by the NICU. I love this bottle system! Best wishes to you :)

I have never tried another cap but you could cut the plastic bit that keeps the top attached and it wouldn't affect how it works.

There is a flat, round cap that sits on top of the bottle, where the nipple screws on that was included in the packaging but I cannot see any use for. If that is still in, the milk won't come out. Other than that, the nipple is different than other bottles I have used. There is a flat side that should be facing downward when feeding the baby and the rounder part of the nipple that has the hole in it should be facing up. Otherwise, the milk will drip out when you try to put the nipple in the baby's mouth. I hope that helps!

I don't think so. If I remember correctly Dr. Brown's bottles are pretty narrow around the rim and Avents are generally wider. If you are about to start training your baby for the sippy cup I do recommend getting an actual sippy cup, for example Nubi stage one with the soft tip. You do not want your child to be confused.

I honestly never used Dr brown so I can't answer you correctly. But the inner straw can be cut to size if it's too long. But I'm pretty sure the top lid is the typical bottle size (not the big mouthed bottles) and will fit standard bottles.

I was able to squeeze the Momma nipple in my Nuk orthodontic bottle ring, but it wasn't a "proper" fit so I would say don't do it. It fits in my Avent Classic and my Dr. Brown wide neck bottles... but Dr Brown's say you aren't really supposed to swap out parts because of their special vent system. So I am thinking it was probably not a good idea.

We use the MAM bottles which are 2 and 3/4 inches at the widest part. It's a snug fit, but it works. I don't know how wide the Dr Brown's are....you would have to measure them and see if they are bigger/smaller.

I do not know because when I first use this bottles my daughter was an baby and she is now 18 years old and I did not have dr browns bottles at that time so I would not be able to help you. sorry

It has a cap, but not the plug that sits where the nipple is in the collar. Those plugs are separate but well worth the investment.
