Dr. Brown's Specialty Feeding System Cleft/Lip Palate 8oz/250ml

The Dr. Brown’s Specialty Feeding System (8oz/250ml) is a bottle engineered specifically for infants with complex oral and facial anomalies like cleft lip, cleft palate, or tongue-tie. It features an internal Infant-Paced Feeding Valve that transforms the nipple into a compression-style flow.

How the System Works

• Infant-Directed Flow: Instead of a caregiver manually squeezing the bottle, the valve allows the baby to express milk through natural sucking and compression.
• One-Way Valve: The blue valve prevents milk from flowing backward into the bottle, ensuring the nipple stays full and reducing the amount of air the baby swallows.
• Nutrient Protection: The bottle features Dr. Brown's internal vent system, which is clinically proven to reduce colic, spit-up, and gas.
• Grows with Baby: Once the baby completes corrective surgery (or when feeding challenges improve), the specialized blue valve can be removed, allowing the bottle to function as a standard Dr. Brown's anti-colic bottle

Care and Maintenance

• Sterilization: The 8oz/250ml polypropylene bottle, cap, vent, and valve are 100% BPA-free and fully safe for dishwashers (top rack) and steam sterilizers.
• Compatibility: The system is typically sold with Level 1 or Level 2 nipples, but it is compatible with all Dr. Brown's Narrow-neck nipples.
• Parts Included: The standard starter or refill kits typically include the bottle, the blue feeding valve, a travel disk, and a specialized wire brush for cleaning the vent system.
