Hi
Have a look here - they are given in ml rather than oz

Just had a better look at Amazon and I think they might all be wide bottles.

Heres a list of stockists from the Dr Brown website

UK Stockists include:

• Mothercare
• Boots
• Asda
• Toys R Us
• John Lewis
• Next Directory
• Lloyds Pharmacy
• Harrods
• Daisy & Tom
• Kiddicare
• Silkgrange
• Baby Supplies
• Weldricks Pharmacy
• Eldoken
• Baby World (Birmingham & Walsall)
• Shenu Fashions
• Alliance Pharmacy

I think you may also be able to buy direct from the website

Sorry I cant think of anywhere else you could get them, but could you feed from a cup in the meantime while you are looking if you are stuck? Even newborn babies can be sip-fed with a cup, they kind of lap it up like a cat if you hold a shallow cup by their lips.

I had the same problem for my son who has special feeding issues
I wrote to the manufatures direct stating my problems and that I couldnt buy the bottle anywhere (there were Nuk) They sent me 8 out free of charge
Although you may not get the same responce if you call them they may well be able to tell you wheres the nearest stockest

Can you buy the teats seperately? If so will they fit onto a standard narrow bottle of a different make?

you can get the nipples but putting them on another bottle will not help my child as he suffers from colic and thats why i use these bottles, i have emailed the company to see what they say about where i can buy them, but my son has had feeding problems since birth and just when we had settled into this it all seems to be going downhill!! sorry if i sound a bit down its the stress and the lack of sleep???? thanks pls help if you can!

Are they not on the Dr Browns website? If not maybe they no longer supply them .

There is another bottle apparently on the market for colic but I can't recall of hand what it is.

I hope you get sorted OP - I know how hard it is when you are sleep deprived.

I think you may get them in the US

I think they may ship to the UK but I'm not sure I've got the right bottles.

Looks like the UK supplier of these is: Central Medical Supplies Ltd Customer Service Contact Phone: 01538399541 and they do sell on Amazon as well, although they don't have the 8oz standard bottles currently listed.

Have you tried ebay? Will he drink from a trainer cup?

Looking on the Dr Brown Website they seem to only have wideneck ones listed so they may not do the standard anymore. Would be worth giving them a call or dropping them an e-mail and see if they can help.

Also is he in solids yet? As generally if they really start to up thier milk at this age it is a sign of needing somehting more.

How about asking your health vistor as she may be able to help. One of my health vistors is really good at things like this.
