I have a friend who is EBF her 7 month old. He refuses every bottle she's tried. Is the flow rate on the stage 3 bottle pretty fast or very slow?

It was fast and left my son soaked. He couldn't keep up. Also, you have to have the bottle upside down in order to pour liquid in and the lid does not stop the flow. It just pours inside the lid and makes a mess. That's one thing that made me really dislike these. They are not that great.

Hi, my daughter was nearly 10 months old when I bought the adiri first. I had read that flow was fast so I went went a stage 2 instead. My daughter is 18 months now and using a stage 3 for 3 months. But for a 7 month old I'd recommend the stage 2

it is stage 2 nipple for 8 ounce bottle. my baby just used this bottle when she is 5 months. but maybe yours can use it when he is 4 months. all depends on how each baby suits.

I change mine as my baby grows. NB flow #1 I used for the first 2-3 months. #2 I used for 3-6 months. #3 I used for 6-8 months. #4 fast slow I used from 8+ months. They are very sturdy. I haven't had any break. Clean them well and sanitize and they will last a long time. I'm saving mine to see if I can use them again for my next baby. They do turn a little yellow, but as long as they are shiny and clean, they are good to go.

The bottles come w/2; smaller bottle has "medium" flow (2 holes) & 9oz bottle has "large" flow (3 hole). I could not use either for my LO until he was about 4 months (flowed too fast). I purchased Avent Wide Neck nipples (stage 1/$5 w/o coupon) & used those until then. Fit great, no problems & the ones that came w/bottles, I stored then used as backups when LO needed the better flow; he is 10 mo now & still uses the larger bottle exclusively, when not taking his liquids from sippy cup.

we have preme twins and found that is has the best flow rate for them we have used them from the time they were able to feed from a bottle. they are now nine months and still use them

No! Natural flow is level 1, slowest flow is level 0. Dr. Brown level 0 is known as for preemie which you have to purchase it separately. For my baby he use preemie nipples by different brands for his first month, otherwise the milk keep leaking from his mouth and occur choking.As comparesion, Dr. Brown is the best for no question. Never use playtex if you don't want to kill your baby.

What do you mean by size! Sorry I didn't get it! But if you are asking about the flow then it's slow flow..level 1 for new borns!

The bottle is fine for nine month olds, but the nipple is for babies 0-3 months old. I bought Dr. Brown's Stage 3 nipples for my 8 month old and they have worked well with these bottles.

I think it does somewhat. If they are just eating too fast, try changing the nipples to a preemie or slow flow size. We were using the Dr. Brown's bottles and had to put preemie nipples on them (when my son was 2-3 months old and NOT a preemie) and that worked well.

I'm sure the product breaks all of our flow rate rules...it's that good!!!I have tried to google the informantion and it's not coming up. If it really matters to you? Contact the company. Otherwise, it was the best 8 bucks I ever spent!!!

The one on mine had medium and slow flow. The small bottles had slow and the big ones had medium.

If I remember correctly they are stage1. I loved these bottles, they can be a bit tricky to use at first but the babies love them. They are great for nursing mothers and babies, very like mom.Okay I just re-read the description on amazon and it says two of stage 1 & two of stage 2 nipples included.

A four month old would typically be in the stage 2 which is for 3-6 months. The hole in the nipple is a little larger than the stage one allowing a faster flow. Hope this helps!!

Yes- When I bought the 9oz bottles it came with the level 2 or Medium flow nipples for 3-6 months. Level 1 or slow flow nipples for 0-3months came with the 5oz 3pack bottles. You can also buy extra nipples separately.

Our baby did not have an issue with latching, the problem was with the Chicco bottles. He got lazy from those bottles because he did not have to suck hard to get the formula/breast milk, so he did not want to nurse. Once we switched the the Medela nipple, that issue went away. They have to build up a vacuum in order to get the milk to flow through the nipple, mimicking the nursing process. They are expensive, but well worth it.

Hi Cathy - I've summarized all 4 types of flows that we have for you: Slow Flow (0-3 months) - 1 hole. Truly slow flow, ideal for newborns up to 3 months. All our 5oz bottles comes with this flow. Medium Flow (3-6 months) - 2 hole. A bit faster for your growing little one. All our 8oz bottles come with this flow. Fast Flow (6+ months) - 3 hole. Suitable for your babies 6 months and up. Variable Flow (6+ months) - Y-cut. This allows your baby to control to flow rate, and its good for thicker fluids.

I would say that depends on the brand. As for these bottles I believe the nipple is slow flow. Since I'm breastfeeding and pumping, I like that these bottles have a very slow flow. Other bottles make my son gulp, even with the slowest nipple. These make him work for it, like at the breast.
