The flow is really slow...is there something wrong? It's slower than a medium flow nipple. Is there a way to fix this?

I had to increase the hole size with a sharp knife which I'm sure is unsafe but they wouldn't work for me as they were shipped.

Yes, it does not come with a newborn slow flow nipple. Only the 5 ounce bottles come with a slow flow.

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.

I have seen mixed opinions about the water flow. I personally had this same issue. But I took the filter off the faucet then took unscrewed the filter out of its housing and made sure all the water was out of filter then did the reinstall steps like I was puting a new filter in. I then put the fu lter back on the faucet. Then very slowly turned the water on to slowly fill the filter with water. And behold I got my flow back I had before. I think there was a air pocket in the filter. Give it a try see what you think. i hope this helps let me know.

The 2 that I have purchased work just fine.. Don't think there's a slow flow insert in them..

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

Did you insert it into the white hole/valve thing? maybe you need to insert it just a bit further. Otherwise sounds like you did everything right. Maybe your pump is bad, try another. Good luck!

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.

This set comes with slow and fast flow nipples. However, the slow flow nipples are similar to medium flow nipples of other brands. And the fast flow is really fast.

No they aren't slow flow and baby had a difficult time with it. This bottle wasn't for us. Had to switch to a different brand.

I am not too happy with mine. It doesn't flow out quickly. I am in the process of returning my purchase. Wish you luck. Try calling customer service they might be able to help you

You have to hold it for like 15-20 seconds. Kind of annoying but it will come out. Try putting it in a bottle or if nursing put it on your nipple (that's what I did).

Check the washers inside the anti-syphon and reducing valve. The one with the mesh may be clogged or twisted to block proper flow. I had a problem that they didn't seat properly and caused reduced flow. Also, if you run one head to the next using the 1/4" tubing, you will not get good flow on that line or lines. I took these out and ran direct runs from the 1/2" tube directly to each head.

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.

Your hole should be just perfect enough that you have to screw in the nipples with a socket or wrench. That tight of a fit. If it's not like that then you have a hole size issue. If it is tight then you have a sealing issue. Easy fix.

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.

Our seemed faster that our other Nuk nipples. It didn't indicate flow but our 5 month old chokes on these nipples as opposed to others we have.
