Do we get faster flow nipples ? My son 12month old likes this cup but gets tried working hard.

I believe you can purchase the nipples (fast flow) separately. I can't remember since we have been through so many bottles in the last 1-1/2 years.

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.

The first time yes, but it gets easier when you figure out how to do it. The nipple is wonderful and very worth it. My son had zero problems with it and no nipple confusion.

Hi,I'm not sure about the size, but I do know that if you look in the bottom left corner of the box it shows a drip symbol and should say the flow of the nipple. These that I bought happen to be medium flow and they are still a slower flow than the Tommee Tippees slow flow I bought previously. My son is 7 weeks and likes these much better and has less problems with choking on too much milk. I hope that helps...

It wasn't for my kid. I had much more success with The First Years Take & Toss straw sippy cups. Since they're made of a a plastic that you can squeeze, you can squeeze the liquid up to the top of the straw so that my kids could get the idea of the straw. Then you squeeze a little bit less each time so they have to suck a little more. Both of my kids were drinking through a straw within 24 hours using this method.

It's medium flow (but not terribly fast). Side note: I found it extremely difficult to find the slow flow nipple replacements.

My son hated it the nipple size is too big is longer than what a nipple should be and long skinny vs wider which would resemble a real nipple .also the flow was way too fast for a 2 month old . We bought MAM medium flow and he loved it it's cheaper and the nipple is softer wider easier to grab.

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!

It all depends on the baby. Mine was a year old and I wanted to break him of bottles. He wouldn't use other sippy cups but because of the rubber nozzle on this and the fact that it looks like a bottle, made him use this cup without difficulty. The wing handles helped him to get used to the feel of a sippy cup so when I introduced a new more advanced sippy cup he did fine. U could probably introduce this bottle around 8 months I think.

It wasn't fast enough for my son when he was ~15 months. That lead to him gulping air and throwing up the few times we tried to use this bottle. We scrapped it and got the Nuby 10 oz. no spill sippy cup. We still use that for his milk cup without any issues.

My son started using them around 10-11 months and still occasionally uses them now at 16 months. It was a nice transition from bottle nipple to sippy cup. Most of the sippy cups have the hard spout and my son couldn't pull the fluid out until he was over a year. Hope that helps.P.S. Be careful because while teething my son bit through the holes in the top and the bottles started leaking. We bought replacement nipples but he just did it again :)

The newborn nipples are the slowest and have a 1 in a circle you can see on the nipple (even though it's really hard to see). Speed 2 is the slowflow nipples and they have a 2 on them. I think this set comes with 2 of each speed so be careful. I just got the pack and accidentally used a #2 on my 2 week old and he spit up alot of the breastmilk because it was too fast for him.

You can def. use it for formula but they get tired faster because they have to work at sucking, I recommend the regular medium flow nipples for formula.

No they don't. But we used the nipple they came with until 12 months old. I did buy the faster nipples which are larger and my girls hated them so we stuck with the nipple they came with and we loved them!

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.

A four month old would typically be in the stage 2 which is for 3-6 months. The hole in the nipple is a little larger than the stage one allowing a faster flow. Hope this helps!!

I am not sure, but I think that is correct at least when I purchased them which has been about 3 years ago. I still continued to use the slow flow nipples and have never really noticed much difference though but I generally nurse my son and they feed him bottles at daycare.
