Quick answer

To assemble the Dr Brown's Options+ Narrow Neck 120ml 3 Pack with Soother, start by inserting the vent system into the bottle, then screw on the nipple and collar. The included pacifier is ready to use after a quick sterilize.

Why the vent system matters

The unique internal vent system in the Dr Brown's Options+ range channels air away from baby’s feed, which can reduce colicky symptoms. Proper assembly ensures this vent works correctly—if the vent tube is not fully seated, air can bypass the system and defeat its purpose.

Each bottle in the 3-pack comes with the same vent parts, so the assembly process is identical for all three. The included happypaci silicone pacifier (0-6 months) is a separate piece and does not require any assembly beyond sterilizing before first use.

Step-by-step assembly instructions

  1. 1. Sterilize all parts: Before first use, sterilize the bottles, nipples, collars, vent inserts, and pacifier according to the manufacturer's instructions (boil for 5 minutes or use a steam sterilizer). Do not skip this step—new parts may have manufacturing residues.
  2. 2. Insert the vent system: Place the clear vent tube into the white vent insert. Push the vent insert into the bottom of the bottle until it clicks into place. The tube should point upward inside the bottle. If the vent insert is not fully seated, the bottle may leak or fail to vent properly.
  3. 3. Attach nipple and collar: Place the nipple over the vent tube, ensuring the nipple's hole aligns with the tube. Screw on the collar firmly but do not overtighten—overtightening can collapse the vent. Check that the nipple is centered and not twisted before screwing the collar.
  4. 4. Prepare the pacifier: The happypaci silicone pacifier is one-piece and ready to use after sterilizing. No assembly needed. Store it in a clean, dry case. Replace the pacifier every 4-6 weeks or at the first sign of wear.

Product facts
