What are the disks that come with the Dr. Brown's bottles for?

| I can't figure this out and the box doesn't explain. Thank you. |

| Leakproof travel discs. We never use them. |

| They keep the bottles from leaking when you're transporting them. I can't stand to waste a drop of pumped milk, so I use them every time. They are annoying to take out & keep track of, though. |

You put it on top of the brown rubber thing, but under the nipple, then when you put the white lid over the nipple it will be completely leak-proof, rather than still seeping out a little into the white cap. I use mine any time I take a bottle out of the house, because I am paranoid about wasting breast milk.

| I preferred the screw on caps you can buy separately. |

| Dude, I nursed 2 kids, each until 13 months and I had no idea what those things were either. I think I assumed they were some weird piece of packaging. I always just threw them out! Ha! |

| Didn't you guys get milk/formula all over without them? |

| They're very useful. We always use them but they are annoying to keep track of, I agree. |

| This explains a great mystery for me and we are past the bottle stage. I always use to wonder why even with the white caps the bottles would link! |

| Never used them, and found Dr.Brown's bottle paraphernalia kind of cumbersome. Tossed them and just used the bottles with screw tops. IMHO, the whole marketing of "less spitup" was kind of a sham. |

I think it just depends on your kid and their natural spit-up propensity. |

Not usually. But we bought a cooler to hold the bottles upright for the most part. |

Glad I wasn’t the only one who thought it was part of the packaging now on baby number 2 …. |
