What is the difference between the Calma and the Wide Base Nipple? Have you found one or the other to be preferrable?

The calma nipple is designed to make the baby express the milk out like the breast. The breast nipple, when being nursed on, is stretched long like the calma

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

Wide base nipples are like all other nipples a hole the the milk drips threw and is sucked out of the Calma is hard to explain in a message but it is like your breastfeeding nothing comes out unless there is suction. My daughter wouldn't take ANY bottle or nipple until we used the Calma

I used the Medela wide base nipples for these and all of my Medela bottles. All of my Medela supplies have been interchangeable with no problems. It made it really easy throughout my time EPing.

The Fast Flow nipples have 3 holes and are designed for babies that are 6 months and older. Much like the Fast Flow, the Variable Flow nipples are also designed for babies 6 months and older. But they have a "Y" shaped cut which allows for thicker fluids as well. Thanks!

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.

The 9oz bottle comes with the Fast Flow nipple. You can buy the Slow Flow nipple separately which I would recommend as my daughter used Slow Flow till she was well into her sixth month. Make sure you order nipples for the "Wide" bottle. The Standard bottle nipples are smaller. You can use the vent disks for both sizes but the nipples are different depending on the bottle: Standard or Wide. Standard also has Medium Flow nipples available for purchase separately which is convenient as a transition from Slow to Fast. I would recommend the Standard bottles over the Wide bottles for this reason plus they are slimmer so take up less room in the diaper bag! The 9oz bottle comes with the Fast Flow nipple.

I have used both the Tommee Tippee bottle and the Momma and like the momma better. My son was also super gassy and the Tippee bottles let out a lot of milk even with the stage one nipple. I also didnt like that he was able to suck the nipple in. With the momma bottle no matter how hard he sucks the nipple stays intact. He loves the momma as well and latches on immediately.

Baby A is breastfed and still is now she's 10 mos. She used to take bottle and now preferred the hoot. I tried using this bottle, she doesn't really care much about it. But, I have a friend whose baby is breastfed and tool some from this bottle. It really depends on the baby and the shape of your nipple. This one has a pretty big nipple in my opinion. I had better luck with the medela nipple, which is smaller, more to my size.

There is a fast flow nipple, it can be ordered from here and major retailers. I've only seen the nipples in store at Babies R' Us though.

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.

I could not find this answer and I have both sizes. One does seem to have a faster flow than the other but the nipples are not labled, that I am aware of. I have mixed them up from using both so I don't know if it is coincidence or not. Please post an answer if you find out the flow of the nipples.

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.

Tricia is correct. I will add that Medela does make an excellent slow flow nipple. Our daughter started on that, which then helped her learn to breastfeed.

They come with a #2 nipple. Which is a medium flow. But you can purchase slow and fast nipple.

Hygeia is listed on the details and features. When used with the narrow mouth adapter ring. I had the spectra s2, which it was not listed, and it was compatible with this product. Although I did have problems with the standard nipple that came with the starter kit. The flow for some reason was overwhelming for my lo. I recommend buying a couple of the slowflows, depending on what stage your lo is. Goodluck.

Yes, it is similiar to the natural bottles, what you need to care about is that it is Wide mouth bottles. and you need to find the wide mouth nipples

Currently we use Philips Avent nipples. The top of the nipple does touch the silicone cap/cover. The nipple does slightly invert or bend to one side, when the cover is slid all the way down on the ring. However, it has not interfered with the function of either the nipple or the cap/cover. Once the cap/cover is removed the nipple retains its original shape.

Have not used with Avent bottles, But looked at the size and it fits in.I would say better than Avent, it is more like the nipple, and has a flat side to perfectly fit the infants mouth, and that makes it easier to suck the milk out.
