I currently have the 5oz bottle and I'm really considering switching from Comotomo because the nipple collapses CONSTANTLY. How can I keep from that?

This happens with ours sometimes too. I just unscrew the lid and retighten it, seems to help.

I would buy extra membranes. They are very thin and can break easily. Plus you probably need to replace them every few months. I have found if my production starts going down and I change the membranes, it goes back up. I would also get a good hands free pumping bra. Mine did not come with a nipple for the bottles, so you would need that to feed a baby, and you would need extra bottles for the baby. http://www.amazon.com/Medela-Spare-Membranes-Breatpumps-Pack/dp/B0001CTZ8K/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1393430032&sr=8-2&keywords=medela+membranes

I'm finding that the stopper doesn't work well on all bottles. I've had success with Gloria Ferrer and Moet & Chandon. My advice would be to place the stopper on the bottle opening, press down to compress the spring, place the clasps around the ridge of the lip, and slowly release your pressure on the stopper top while holding the sides of the clasps.

I love this bottle and spout and have used it since my daughter started drinking water. She's now 3. The original clear spouts ended up needing to be replaced so this new generation blue spout is much better. It mimics more of a nipple as opposed to being a hard spout so assume it's easier for them to manage. My daughter has never had an issue. Also it's probably the safest bottle/nipple on the market. Worth a try for sure! I'd order a few extra as backup if you can. Hope this helps.

Look for Simple Wishes pumping bra online, great bra! Just be sure not to walk away from what doing (I like to computer surf while pumping) b/c you forget your attached to the pump! I did that a couple times, sometimes loosing my milk and practically breaking my pump. Better yet, do your pumping over a soft surface if possible, JIC.

True! I use a teaspoon. The one for younger has a dropper. I loved it but can't fit on this bottle! Sorry can't help more

These were the worst nipples for that problem for us as well... I finally just switched to dr brown's nipples with the venting system (you can use on almost any regular sized bottle opening... For example we use evenflo glass bottles)...

**As far as the niplettes slipping off, get a $1 tube of personal lubricant. You put it on the entire area, then put the niplette over it. It creates a seal that was strong enough for me to sleep in! Yes! I started using mine as soon as I found out I was pregnant. The longer/more often each session you use them, the faster/better the long term effect will be. I've had flat/inverted nipples my whole life, just never knew the terminology. After 6 children and only the last baby bf successfully for 6 months ONLY because I wore breast shells 24/7 before delivery and for 6 months after, I was determined to bf again... With a lot less trouble! These are great! **As far as the niplettes slipping off, get a $1 tube of personal lubricant. You put it on the entire area, then put the niplette over it.

It takes a good deal of pressure to fully open, you have to continue with the same amount of pressure to keep it open, and it closes immediately upon release. I think this might not be the right bottle for you.

When you squeeze the nipple you can see if there are small holes or if you fill up the bottle and squeeze hard enough to see how strong the flow is . The small flow will give you a couple of very thin spray. Heavy flow will be almost like from sippy cup. My 11 month old refused to use heavy flow so we continue with the original small I guess it wasn't that hard for him.

no. I have not had that problem. Perhaps you have a bad batch?. I've been using this for over a year and it works perfectly. No nipple collapsing or squeaky sound.

I'm sorry I don't know. I've had to switch to advent bottles. My LO and I could no longer breast feed and found she didn't need a nipple to stimulate breast flow. She is much happier on classic flow.

We just started carrying the Life-Flo Pure Magnesium Oil on our product line. This is the first time we have heard of the bottle breaking after a couple uses. We will definitely look into this and we really appreciate your feedback.

Any bottle brush is good. Just make sure to get one that has a nipple brush as well. I definitely don't recommend this sippy cup tho. My dalighter won't even use it if I have the top of it on. You have to suck really hard to get anything to come out. I've recycled the lid and and sippy part of it and just use the stainless steel part as a regular cup, I just added a metal straw from ecojarz

I was wondering the same thing, when I purchased these. The nipple size is 0-3 mos. Love this size as the formula doesn't leak out all over the place, but comes out perfectly. Love these bottles.
