Has anyone used this with a child with upper lip tie? I am trying to figure out the best bottle for ULT.

No only tongue-tied. It does flow easily out of the nipple. If you hold it upside down it will drip. I tried playtex, Dr Brown, and Avent without success. This is the only one that has worked for us. Hope this helps.

Not at all! We had had for 6 to 7 months and not 1 problem at all. Our son did bite through 1 nipple because we didn't pay attention that he was teething, but that is what can happen with any bottle!I give it a 9.7 out of 10 because I wish they had more schemes other then the two we have found available. It would be nice to have different patter or colors to tell if one is a juice cup and one is a milk etc.I say buy it, you will love them!

We had an older Pompeii balsamic vinegar bottle that was a great fit. The bottle was just the right size as was the opening. I think the larger oil bottles have bigger necks also. It sounds like some people were able to cut off some of the rubber rings in order to fit it in the the smaller oil bottles? I hope you can make it work because we really like it.

We didn't use it for a preemie, but did use it for a tongue tied baby to transition from bottle to breast. It REALLY helped. Before my daughter would just try to clamp on with her gums, this bottle taught her to suck properly.

I tried using a mountain dew 2 liter and as soon as I put it on it just kept poring into the reptifogger. I may have been doing it wrong, and I've heard other people have success so give it a shot! I may try a different bottle next!

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.

If you really want to make these bottles work, you could use a thin exact type knife and score out the valve on the inside of the straw, coming in from the top. Cutting out the two pieces that are about 1/2" from the top would remove the restriction from inside. As you wash these bottles though, the rubber becomes softer and you'll get more flow anyway. However, if your kiddo is at the point where he's needing more volume out of the straw, you may want to look for a bottle that has a hard straw. Now that mine is a little older, we use cups with lids and a hard straw that has a rubber ring around it to keep it sealed. Nuby soft tops aren't known to be long lasting bottles after all. Good luck! If you really want to make these bottles work, you could use a thin exact type knife and score out the valve on the inside of the straw, coming in from the top.

I suggest trying a toddler bottle with straw the ones that the straw folds . He might do better with those

I think the clip making it travel is maybe why they call it that.. It does have a faster flow, it also angles it to be more like a sippy cup..angle is better than a normal bottle. But i wouldn't use it for too much longer after a year if you are trying to get them cup trained..this is more for when you've moved them to that higher flow and bigger bottles..bought for my daughter cause i bought winnie the pooh everything as i could. its got a good price.

In my opinion, these bottles work much better and are leaps and bounds ahead of other brands and designs in helping reduce or eliminate spitting up. Venting air from the bottom makes swallowing air impossible unless your little one gets to the bottom of their milk/formula and continues to feed even when the bottle is empty. This product has made a huge difference in my daughter! She spits up very rarely and only teeny tiny amounts when she does.

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.

I have only purchased the larger bottles. The ones with a single lid seam to work better for me. If the seal stays intact, I don't have any trouble with leakage. I have one bottle that has a pop top on it, which is very convenient for pouring quickly, but it also pops off sometimes. I have not used the ones that look like baby bottles. I would contact the company & see what they are willing to do for you. All my experiences have been positive so far with the products they produce. Good Luck. (I don't have any suggestions for different brands of bottles that might be better.)

the top lip of the Bertolli, 500ml, bottle I'm using is one inch. If its any bigger than that forget it, and realize that this is the bottle I've written my review on. I believe the fit is too loose, the stopper has a chance of falling out, and the bottle gets some oil on the outside.

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.

They have a tiny mouth opening. My daughters baby bottle for her babies doesn't fit. You may look and see if JC toys has a mini size baby accessories kit.

Past that stage in life, but I think the one pictured looks like the one I have and it would probably work great. It is stretchy. The bottles I have seen my nieces use are the smaller 8oz or less. Should be fine.

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.
