Do you think that this type of nipple helps slow your baby down a little so they are not eating so fast?

I do not own this product (thinking about buying) but I was given a video on paced bottle feeding which suggests you hold the bottle level with their mouth and pause after 20-30 seconds of feeding, then resume. It slows them down and prevents the drink or drown mindset of positioning baby lying down. But might give them more air. There's a video on YouTube.

I don't have another bottle to compare it to since it's the only kind I've used with my daughter, but she took to it very well and I like it better than avent bottles.

In our experience, we switched to these bottles because they had a slower flow than some of the other bottles we had tried. Our daughter was gulping and unhappy with how fast the milk was coming out of other bottles. These bottles fixed that, so yes in a sense they would "slow your baby down a little so they are not eating so fast". Although this also depends on the sucking power of each baby. :-)

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.

Yes. My baby is strictly breastfed so he only gets a bottle on the occasion I have to be away for more than a couple of hours. He has to work the outer nipple enough to put pressure on the inner nipple which is a lot like nursing. I still suggest burping a few times during bottle feeding to slow it down a bit but he doesn't go through it as quickly as other babies I've seen using "normal" bottles.

It didn't slow my lil guy down. We switched him to regular bottles and his feeding time was the same.

The Natural nipple is designed for babies that breastfeed. It's designed to simulate a breast so if you have to feed the bby with bottle it won't interfere or cause a confusion on the baby. It's great. Have in mind that these nipples are only for natural baby's bottles, ou can't use it on a regular one!

Yes, these nipples worked very well for my grandson. The shape of the nipple is more like Momma than others. I would highly recommend these nipples.

I have not used the wide based nipple however the calm a in my opinion was not worth the money!

That works too. I had to do that because the nipple that came with it was choking my granddaughter also it is very long nipple an d made her gag. I switched it out with slow flow and it still works.

Yes! That's how we give our baby these drops - into a bottle of breast milk, or sometimes a drop on the nipple. Either way seems to work.

Honestly I didn't like the nipples from medela. I used the pump and avent bottles. Don't think medela 's are good for newborns, case they are too soft.

hi , looking over the reviews it sounds like they come with a average nipple not for newborns so maybe get some nipples for newbornsand save the ones they come with for the future . i bought this product as a baby gift for my niece's baby . her baby shower was huge but the baby bottles she used were the ones i bought her . those old fashion glass ones along with another gift of all 3 stages of nipples.

I want to say yes! I am not 100% sure but it seemed me as they were. Because when u bought level 1 nipples from another brand it would pour less than with this nipple. I used it for my new born he was fine with it he got used to it with out a problem. They are so convenient!

I used it for a 20 month old, to wean her off of her bottle, & it worked perfectly. However, she did end up chewing a hole in the silicone spout, but she was always chewing holes in the bottle nipples, so, it was nothing new for us.

My daughter didnt use it while breast feeding, but I don't think the shape would be conducive for that purpose. It's fine for bottle feeding, as you don't have to hold them as close to the body.

Just make sure the nipple is all the way pulled thru. Some babies make more sounds when sucking so that could be what your hearing. If she doesn't appear to be getting gas or belly ache then everything should be working find

The bottle comes with nipples. The nipple is marked as a stage 3 nipple which is far too fast for a newborn.My child is going on 5m old and I still use lansinoh's "slow flow" nipples. All of their nipples are much to fast for the targeted age range. If you are nursing and buy the "slow flow" nipples marked as stage 2 you will notice that the nipple is 2-3 times faster than breast feeding. Philips makes a better nipple for newborns.

I exclusively breasfeed my baby girl and introduced this nipple at her 2 months in case I need to go for couple hours away fm my baby. She loves it and suck from it with no problem (she refused pacifier of all kinds!) so it's good that she likes this nipple

Mine arrived with nipples that my baby had hard time sucking, very low flow. We ended up not using them at all.

Yes, they did for us. But, we started using Dr. Browns bottles pretty quickly after these and they worked even better for our baby even without these nipples.

No. The three smaller 4oz. bottles come with the newborn nipples. Newborn nipples (no. 1) are the slowest flow. The two taller 9oz. bottles have the 0-3 mos. nipples (no. 2). Avent natural nipples are great. Soft food grade silicon and so durable. The no. 1 nipples have 1 pin hole. The the no. 2 nipples have 2 pin holes. My baby is now on no. 3 at 6.5 months old. And the no. 3 nipples have 3 pin holes. I like this better than using bigger and smaller holes to regulate the flow.
