How can you tell the difference between the stage 1 and 2 nipples? I want to try adding stage 2 and it looks identical to stage 1.

The stage is printed on the clear outer nipple. I do not see anything printed on the inner blue nipple.

The nipples do look identical but the stage 2 has a blue tinted outer nipple.

I believe the stage two are a slightly different color, more blue than clear, also on the underside of the nipple on the rim it says which stage it is.

Conservative! They still have to work at it to get the milk to come out. It mimics the breast still, but nothing like when we let down, it will allow the child to get more milk at their pace. I stayed with the advised 3+ months before introducing it since they seem to be better "suckers" and can handle a faster flow. If the child can't work the stage 1 nipple then they may still have problems with the stage 2.

The 4 oz bottles have the stage 1-newborn nipples and the 9oz have the stage 2 which is 1+ month

Hi, when we bought our bottle on Amazon they came with two different sized nipples.

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.

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

The one I received has metal nipples that start small and get larger as they go down for different sized tubing.

yes. i have bought nipples separately and they have worked just fine. i ended up having to go back to level 1 nipples for my son and had no problem (the bottles came with level 2). hope this helps!

The Calma nipples are in 3 parts, the nipple, the holder and the cap that screws the whole thing together. The opening looks similar, but since I don't have any regular bottles I would purchase just one whole bottle at first and try it out.

We had the same question. The numbers don't correspond to anything except stuff for the manufacturer. You can tell the flow by squeezing the nipple. Super easy to tell that way. Hope this helps - we LOVE our baby grow up set!

Size 1 came with my order, you would have to order size 2 nipples separately.

Sorry it took a few days to answer this - I had to check since it had been so long! You can absolutely switch out the breast shields. The same yellow piece with the white membrane can be changed to the different shields. Good luck & happy pumping!

There is a mix of slow and fast flow nipples with the starter set. It's a silicone nipple that resembles the breast. The nipples are wider at the base near the closure ring. Good for going from breast room bottle. No complaints. Hope this helps.

You can change the nipples to different levels, such as level 2 and 3. I recently changed my son to level 2 when he turned 3 months.

My boys have only used them with sippy spouts, but from what I hear from reviews, the nipples seem to be level 2 and 3.

Hi, yes they are included. I cannot remember what stage nipples are included, though. My daughter was 5 months when we purchased them.

I'm sorry, I don't know because I don't have those. I only used the nipples that came with them.
