I'm looking to use this bottle with a newborn. Is the nipple flow rate made for a newborn (slow rate)?

Yes the 5 oz bottle comes with a slow flow nipple, similar to breastfeeding your baby

I bought the 5oz one for my son and it came with a slow flow nipple. He loved it and it still is his favorite bottle to use at 10 mo. I don't know if the 8 oz version cones with the slow flow but if it does I would definitely recommend it!

no its not the nipple that they send with the bottle is a three so it will be a fast flow for the baby.if you do order the bottle ill suggest to get a separate nipple with it.i hope I answered your question

Yes all three of them come with nipples, and they are medium flow. The smaller 5 ounce bottles come with the slower flow nipple. But my little guy at 2 months was ready for the medium flow :) LOVE these bottles

When I purchased them they were for my grand child they were perfect flow for a NB she never hot yo much where she choked on the milk! They are awesome bottles/nipples! Hope this answers your question.

Not sure what the package had said but they are definitely not slow. I'd say medium but if you want it to go faster, I unscrew the lid a millimeter, like a crack and it flows faster so you can slow it down if you want to put it on tighter. It's just my kiddo like to gulp it down!~ I LOVE these bottles and the nipples don't crack like rubber ones. I went back for a second pack so I had extras.

No - depends on the reason why I'm giving it to my 3 month old baby. Sometimes all I need is to drizzle it on his pacifier nipple and it will help alleviate any issues. Feel free to start with a smaller dosage and see how your baby works with that! I absolutely love this product and wish they had it as a part of the subscribe & save program because we keep a bottle of it at the daycare and one at home!

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.

Way too slow. The feeding seems to last forever. My newborn likes to suck the nipple but almost no milk comes through which makes a feeding last way longer.

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!

Yes slow flow nipple come standard. Though you may want to check out the "variable flow" or "y cut" its flow depends on how hard the baby sucks. I had lots of success.

yes, these bottles do come with nipples. But I cant recall if it were slow or medium flow. I used these for my baby from 3mon age up to about 1yr. The only problem i had with these bottle is that the bottom plastic lining got ruined pretty soon. The formula powder got stuck to it and I was never able to get it off. Because of that the bottles started leaking. As of now (baby is 26mon now) I have 1 bottle I am still using and had to throw away the rest of the 3 because the lining is not conviniently available at local stores.

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.

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.

No! Natural flow is level 1, slowest flow is level 0. Dr. Brown level 0 is known as for preemie which you have to purchase it separately. For my baby he use preemie nipples by different brands for his first month, otherwise the milk keep leaking from his mouth and occur choking. As comparesion, Dr. Brown is the best for no question. Never use playtex if you don't want to kill your baby.

Yes it is, used it through my sons first 3 months and flow nipple is the smallest which doesn't allow the baby choke while feeding

The bottle is fine for nine month olds, but the nipple is for babies 0-3 months old. I bought Dr. Brown's Stage 3 nipples for my 8 month old and they have worked well with these bottles.

Yes, bottle and nipple. The nipple was a little long for our 2 month old. He ended up getting use to a cheap nipple and bottle while we waited on his mouth to grow longer. I really wanted him to use it because it is most like a nipple and fits the pumping system...but baby rules and no go.

Yes. My baby is strictly breastfed so he only gets a bottle on the occasion I have to be away for more than a couple of hours. He has to work the outer nipple enough to put pressure on the inner nipple which is a lot like nursing. I still suggest burping a few times during bottle feeding to slow it down a bit but he doesn't go through it as quickly as other babies I've seen using "normal" bottles.
