At what age do you transition from the slow-flow to the medium-flow nipples?

My daughter transitioned around 2 mos of age. She was acting frustrated with the slow flow. I think it depends on each child.

My daughter never transitioned from the slow flow - even by the time she was almost a year old. She just couldn't handle the faster flow.

I did after about 2 months, but the holes in them aren't much different so you could use them from birth if you wanted. I would have done that if I had known their wasn't much of a difference. Saved some money : )

It's a slow flow nipple. I stuck with this flow even as baby got older - it helped him maintain preference for the breast.

I believe they came with the medium flow. Our son uses fast flows, and I recall having to buy them for all the bottles after purchasing this set. You can get another set of nipples for around $5 I think.

Fast flow, so if your baby is young, you'll likely need to get slower flow nipples.

Cherie-In my personal opinion, a slow flow nipple doesn't make it harder for the formula. I started my son on this bottle at a little over a month old, and he got the hang of it within a few days and has had no problem. I've only used the slow flow with him so far and it's pretty awesome. I hope this helps somewhat!

The pouches have a hard top with a screw-on cap, so when that's unscrewed (and the pouch is inserted into the case for the bottle), the nipples they provide pop right in. Like Erika H. said, there are three flow options - fast, medium, and slow. They also come with an adapter that's used to connect directly to the breast pump, and those can be used to connect to nipples not made by the manufacturer.

I think this Standard Flow is equivalent to Slow Flow. I used it for my son since Nb. My other kids (2yo & 3yo) uses this as well and they dont complain about the flow. Looks like it expands the more it's used making the flow from slow to medium. I hope this helps.

I don't know about sizes but my son has used them from 2-7 months and continues to use them so it's a good flow for pretty much all ages, partly due to the natural breast shaped nipple

Yes- When I bought the 9oz bottles it came with the level 2 or Medium flow nipples for 3-6 months. Level 1 or slow flow nipples for 0-3months came with the 5oz 3pack bottles. You can also buy extra nipples separately.

Its supposed to be for any age. However after a few months it does get tiring to wash all its parts, so I would suggest 4 months max. It is a great product after the baby learns how to use it and I think it is also good for them to work in their patience as it is a lot harder to use than a conventional nipple.

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.

both of them are slow flow nipple. the 4oz, comes with the number 1, to 0 months, and the 8oz, comes with the number 2, to 1 month or more. (there also are, for sell, the number 3 to more than 3 months, and the number 4, to more than 6 months).

I'm sorry I don't know. I've had to switch to advent bottles. My LO and I could no longer breast feed and found she didn't need a nipple to stimulate breast flow. She is much happier on classic flow.

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.

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!

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.

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.
