Anyone use this for a 6-7 month old? (She never really took to a bottle)

We went almost straight from the Stage 1 nipple to this and our daughter did just fine. The only problem we had was as she got older we had to remove the silicone insert that makes it spill proof b/c she would suck on it too hard and it would bunch up under the cap. I don't know if that would be a problem with such a young babe but the simple solution there was to just remove the insert. That does, however, make it spill-able. Good luck!

The answer to that depends on multiple factors but I will give u my situation. I started with 4 and found I was always playing catch up with sterilizing them in time so I finally bought 4 more. For me this worked becUse at one point my daughter was drinking from the bottle all day and only bf at night(so that's about 4 bottles/day at that time) after she turned around 4 minths(can vary by baby) she started to drink more but not at the same time just more often. My friends have told me that breastfed babies mostly drink upto about 4-5oz Max at a time so you never really end up needing bigger bottles. She is now 7 months and we are using the same bottles. If ur baby will consume formula either entirely or supplemented with Breast milk he or she will drink more at a time and u will probably need bigger bottles around the 3-4 month time frame so maybe just purchase 4 of the 4 oz for now. Hope that helps!

.only if your use it the way I do, under neath the sheet by the feet. Or inside a pillow case w the pillow. I'm thinking the pack n play is a thin plywood on the bottom , so it might make a rattling noise.also you can try to do some research on camomile tea and cat nip. If it's that your child or baby over 6 month is having issues staying asleep or teething. Both works great with my 7 month old twins.walmart has a tea by traditional medicinal called "nighty night" (purple box)My daughter hasn't been crabby or whiny due to her teething

The bottle says 8 months and up; I am assuming it's because there is strawberry flavoring. They sell a smaller bottle with a dropper that can be used for younger infants.

I don't remeber what is on the brochure , but it is best for transition from bottle to cup. It fits slightly more than 5 ounces . I would say you can start it whenever recommended by your dr to transition to sippy cup like 6-7 month old

It's good flow but for a "sippy cup". Not really comparable to a bottle. I have 3 of the nuk ones and they are my little ones favorite, even at 21 months old. Hope this helps.

So far, I am using seventh generation free and clear detergent because I got a great deal on them.. I am planning to use my home made one (borax, washing soda-baking soda and vegetable based bar soap) on them from now on (she is six months) i dis it once a month ago and it seemed fine. I will update this when I do. :)

We have found if the hole is on the top nothing comes out for my baby. We have not had leaking but she don't get anything if its the wrong way. I love these bottles my baby goes breast to bottle and bottle to breast with no problems. And I think an older baby would prefer the bottle the correct way and have no problem self feeding.

I agree with A Carloss. We didn't use these with our daughter until 8 mos maybe, when we started giving water in addition to breast milk. But the great thing about them is they are soft top so it's an easy transition from bottle. As for maximum age, my daughter is 2 years 1 month and we're still using them. We've added a sippy cup that has a straw too, but she's not ready for full on cups yet.

Hi there! I took it for my 2.5 yrs old niece and it's not messy with her :) Not sure what the difference would be for a 17 month old.

The bottle I purchased is not primarily for children but I did use it on my children ages six, five, and three years of age. Not to mention I used it on my own head," their mom."

It's probably meant to be theFirst step in "losing" the bottle so around 1 year. I got itFor my grandson, who is three and autistic. His parents are having a hard time making the transition from bottles to cups and this seems to be doing the trick. I would recommend to any parent as a first step!

It's actually kind of hard, that's why I don't like the packaging. I don't put it in the bottle because I can't see the volume or how many drops I've put in. If you turn the bottle upside down and wait a bit, a drop should come out. I personally just flip it over and touch it to my baby's bottle nipple to make the drop come out, but I'm not sure if that's advocated.

Me neither! And the 14 month old couldn't either. Jaclyn below says her 15 month old has no problem, but then she says it leak, mine doesn't leak, NOTHING comes thru.. It's not supposed to leak, so hers is broke too, but you have to be able to get something out of it! I'd prefer a little leakage!!

I started to use it with my baby when she was 7 months first time. That worked for her

I would say its fine, as there's nothing on it that could come off and pose a choking hazard and its super soft and lightweight. As for whether a 7 month old will be interested in playing with it, that totally depends on the child. My daughter got hers when she was a year old, but I don't think she'd have been interested in it for long at 7 months, but according to some other reviewers others love it at that age. Honestly, my daughter loved hers at first, then quickly lost interest (I'd say within the month). However, she's now 2 and a half, and has recently rediscovered it and is in love with it.

Hi Megan, we are using this system and it works great! We ate first time parents too. The bottle is very light weight and i am sure the baby could hold it easily. The shape is different than a regular bottle.
