for 9 months old? Is this good for the similac 8oz ready to feed bottles?

Yes, it fits the similac 8oz ready to feed bottles. I'm not sure what level 3 is, sorry! My 6.5 month old still uses standard flow just fine.

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.

My 3 month old has been using these bottles/nipples since he was 2 months old. He is on the added rice formula though, so it was hard for me to find nipples that allowed it to flow & not get clogged. I would say a 1 year old would do just fine. The box says the nipples are for 0+ but I've honestly never seen any other flow nipples for these bottles.

The 9oz bottle comes with the Fast Flow nipple. You can buy the Slow Flow nipple separately which I would recommend as my daughter used Slow Flow till she was well into her sixth month. Make sure you order nipples for the "Wide" bottle. The Standard bottle nipples are smaller. You can use the vent disks for both sizes but the nipples are different depending on the bottle: Standard or Wide. Standard also has Medium Flow nipples available for purchase separately which is convenient as a transition from Slow to Fast. I would recommend the Standard bottles over the Wide bottles for this reason plus they are slimmer so take up less room in the diaper bag! The 9oz bottle comes with the Fast Flow nipple.

Yes, we've been really pleased with it. If the baby isn't breastfed then there's no point buying this, but if the baby switches back and forth between bottle and breast you'll be happy to have it. If you're buying it for a mom who already has a bunch of Medela stuff (pump, bottles, etc) then I recommend buying the CALMA nipple in the 8oz option. Unless the prices have changed, you get way more for your money with that option (2 bottles versus just 1) and I already had a bunch of 5oz Medela bottles. The two 8oz bottles that came with the CALMA nipple i purchased are still the only two 8oz bottles I own, so I'm glad I did it that way....kinda killed two birds with one stone.

Yes, absolutely. What I like about this bottle as a 2nd time mom is that I know that when my newborn is older and requires the 8oz bottles, it will still work.

I bought this for my 1 year old about 6 months ago. The bar seems to be the right height for her to hang on to and bounce. She will be 2 in a few months. I think I would invest in something different for a 9 year old unless they have trouble with coordination and balance.

It has been wonderful for my baby that breast feeds. She has been using it since she was four weeks old.

No, they're perfect. I have an 8 month old and she has a big appetite. So I've started to fill them 2/3 full now so I can give her two at a time. Each compartment measures approximately 2oz which equals to a quarter of a cup, which to a baby that is just starting to eat is more than enough. Love those containers. have 3 myself. Hope that helps.

I've had this bottle since my 1st child and I did use their single miPump. I have used the bottle for long term storage in the freezer with the included cap. It can be done and you can feed straight from the bottle after storage use.

Yes. I used it for my son since the very first day. I used all the bottles, even the big ones. My son would drink 2oz of milk, now he is 6 months and I still use the very same bottles. Avent, in my opinion has the best bottles. My son did not suffer much from colics, I do believe the bottles had a lot to do with this. The price is super cheap, so worth the buy! I bought another set for my best friends baby shower, she loved the bottles as well and fed her newborn daughter with these bottles as well. I highly recommend! Hope this helps!:)

My LO is 9 months, 19 lbs, and we will definitely use it till the end of this year if not longer. There is plenty of space for his legs to grow.

Yes! I started using it when my son was 9 months and it has been very useful

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.

I gave it to my 8 month old and she was able to figure it out. I think a 1 year old would be fine! I started her without the straw so she would know to sip it like a bottle and once she realized that she could sip it without leaning back, using it with the straw works great!

I don't remeber what is on the brochure , but it is best for transition from bottle to cup. It fits slightly more than 5 ounces . I would say you can start it whenever recommended by your dr to transition to sippy cup like 6-7 month old

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.
