Overview
This Dr. Brown's Anti-Colic Options+ Narrow Glass Baby Bottle is a single-count 4 oz unit, listed with the 120 ml equivalent to clarify the capacity. The glass construction and narrow-neck format are consistent with the broader Options+ platform, which uses an internal vent tube to separate airflow from milk flow, reducing the air a baby swallows and the gas and colic that can follow. The narrow-neck design is the original Dr. Brown's format and is compatible with the full range of Dr. Brown's nipples and accessories across flow levels.
At 4 oz and 1.7 pounds (which reflects the glass construction), this is a heavier bottle than plastic equivalents but benefits from the durability and material safety that glass provides. Glass does not absorb odors, does not scratch or cloud over repeated washings, and can be boiled or steam-sterilized without any degradation of the material. The single-count format at $24.66 makes the per-bottle cost higher than buying a 4-pack, but it suits parents who want to try the format before investing in a larger supply.
With 701 reviews at 4.8 stars and 400 monthly purchases, this listing has a substantial and very favorable feedback record. The 4.8-star average is one of the highest achievable in a category with this many reviews, indicating consistent satisfaction from a meaningful sample of buyers.

Performance notes
Based on the 701-review feedback base, the internal vent tube reliably reduces gas-related fussiness when assembled and cleaned correctly. Parents note that the glass body cleans more thoroughly than plastic and does not retain any smell or residue from formula or breast milk over time. The narrow neck is somewhat less convenient for thick formula mixing compared to wide-neck bottles, but a funnel or pre-mixing can address this. Leak resistance is consistently reported as good when the collar and vent are properly seated.
What buyers say
At 4.8 stars from 701 reviews with 400 purchases last month, this glass Dr. Brown's bottle earns reliable praise from a meaningful number of buyers. The high rating across a 700-person sample provides more statistical confidence than ratings from smaller cohorts. Critical feedback, when present, typically centers on the vent tube cleaning process rather than any issue with colic performance or glass integrity.

Frequently asked questions
Is 4 oz enough for a newborn's feeding needs?
For most newborns, 4 oz (120 ml) is appropriate in the earliest weeks when feeds are small and frequent. As babies grow and their appetite increases, typically around 2 to 3 months, they often move to larger 8 oz bottles. Starting with a 4 oz bottle is a common approach that avoids wasting formula or breast milk from overfilling.
Does the glass bottle work with the Options+ vent system?
Yes. Dr. Brown's Options+ bottles, whether glass or plastic, are designed to use the same internal vent tube system. The Options+ designation also means the vent can be removed for use without the internal vent as the baby's colic stage passes, giving the bottle a longer useful life.
