I would get the 8 once, and buy a nipple number 1, the one for 0 to 3 months, if the baby don't like the number 2, that comes whith the bottle. The number 2 is suitable for 2-3 months, but mine is 8 months and prefer the number 2. He gasps with the number 3.

it is stage 2 nipple for 8 ounce bottle. my baby just used this bottle when she is 5 months. but maybe yours can use it when he is 4 months. all depends on how each baby suits.

Nipple is faster flow on the bigger bottles. I got the smaller bottles better for slow flow bigger bottle once child is drinking more oz. My 8 month old still drinks out of 4 oz bottles she is mostly breastfed and almost never drinks more then 4 oz.

The bottle comes with nipples. The nipple is marked as a stage 3 nipple which is far too fast for a newborn.My child is going on 5m old and I still use lansinoh's "slow flow" nipples. All of their nipples are much to fast for the targeted age range. If you are nursing and buy the "slow flow" nipples marked as stage 2 you will notice that the nipple is 2-3 times faster than breast feeding. Philips makes a better nipple for newborns.

Very very easy to clean with a bottle brush. The toddler nipple is fast flow I'm not sure about the infant bottle nipple but i assume it's slower

Both the 4 oz and 8 oz evenflo glass bottles come with evenflo's slow flow nipples. Before my baby arrived, I bought the medium and fast flow nipples worried that I'd need them right away, but she's now 7 months and still using the slow flow. I'm not sure we'll ever switch. She can still power down 8 oz in 5 minutes with the slow-flow. Not sure if this is common for breastfed babies who also bottle-feed. We used the slow flow for formula as well as breast milk. The opening of the bottle seems to be the same as that of the medela bottles as it fits onto the Medela pump in style advanced that I have (but the glass bottles are so heavy that I prefer pumping into the plastic medela ones). Early on my baby showed a preference for the evenflo nipple over the medela, so we tossed the medela. Not sure what size it was or if all medela nipples are the same size but with different flow rates. One thing to keep in mind with using the evenflo nipples/bottles is that they work great as long as you don't have them screwed on too tight (the nipple will collapse and baby will suck and suck but get no milk) or too loose (leaks). It's their special air-vent system that requires some air to flow under the nipple base. If baby sucks and little bubbles flow into the milk shortly after that, then it's probably on just right.

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.

We have used a couple of different nipples and most of brands seem to fit , Dr. Browns slow flow and we like that the best. Its much better than the nipples that comes with the bottles.

Babies will start having more formula as they grow. I got the bigger size (8 oz I think) when my baby was four months. I would suggest to get the biggest bottle

The answer to that depends on multiple factors but I will give u my situation. I started with 4 and found I was always playing catch up with sterilizing them in time so I finally bought 4 more. For me this worked becUse at one point my daughter was drinking from the bottle all day and only bf at night(so that's about 4 bottles/day at that time) after she turned around 4 minths(can vary by baby) she started to drink more but not at the same time just more often. My friends have told me that breastfed babies mostly drink upto about 4-5oz Max at a time so you never really end up needing bigger bottles. She is now 7 months and we are using the same bottles. If ur baby will consume formula either entirely or supplemented with Breast milk he or she will drink more at a time and u will probably need bigger bottles around the 3-4 month time frame so maybe just purchase 4 of the 4 oz for now. Hope that helps!

Hi there - happy to answer - we have both for our daughter - majority of our bottles however are the Lansinoh mOmma bottle - we love love love them - they are the best out there. How old is your son? We prefer them over the Tommee Tippee bottles. We have tried many and think these are the best out there! Hope this helps. Our daughter isn't gassy.

Hi Bridgette - the 0-3 months refers to the flow of the nipples. Our 5oz bottles comes standard with our "Slow Flow" which are great for newborns up to 3 months. But you can also use the bottle itself with our other faster flow nipples as well:Medium Flow (3-6 months) - 2 holesFast Flow (6+ months) - 3 holesVariable Flow (6+ months) - Y-cut Hope this helps!

Hi Cathy - I've summarized all 4 types of flows that we have for you:Slow Flow (0-3 months) - 1 hole. Truly slow flow, ideal for newborns up to 3 months. All our 5oz bottles comes with this flow.Medium Flow (3-6 months) - 2 hole. A bit faster for your growing little one. All our 8oz bottles come with this flow.Fast Flow (6+ months) - 3 hole. Suitable for your babies 6 months and up.Variable Flow (6+ months) - Y-cut. This allows your baby to control to flow rate, and its good for thicker fluids.

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.

4 oz comes with flow size 1 nipples. 8 oz comes with flow size 2 nipples. We upgraded to size 3 medium flow at 3 months of age.

Hi Debra, This was the only bottle that my 4 month old breast fed baby would take. It still wasn't an easy transition since he had previously been only breast fed. We left him at my in-laws house over night and went "cold turkey" switching him to the bottle. Then my husband did all the following feedings for a couple weeks by bottle while I pumped. A hard transition... but I don't think we could have done it without the comotomo bottle.

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.

There are 3 nipple sizes. Size 1 for newborns. Size 2 which is a size for babies under 4 months. Size 3 is a fast flow for babies over 4 months. We used the size 2 from the start. Our baby was over 12 lbs at birth and very hungry. Our baby would not latch on to any other nipples. I had to send my husband out on Thanksgiving day to get more. This is a great product. I highly recommend it!

Size 1 however my son is almost 5 months odl and still uses size 1. I recently tried switching to size 2 and it is still too fast for him so back to size 1. I think it's better that it comes with 1 bc he now eats 6 ounces and needs bigger bottles but still needs slow flow nipple.
