Customer Reviews

A good choice for older breast fed babies
I went back to work only 6 weeks after the birth of my daughter and I believe the unique shape and anti collapse design of this nipple kept her from beconing confused and preferring a bottle.

For moms who nurse, I would not recomend more than the two hole slow flow nipples, even with an older baby. The slow flow rate makes them realize that the faster easier way to get milk is from natures source, your breast! Even with the one hole flow rate, my daughter finishes off a bottle in 10 minutes flat, I don't worry that she needs a faster flow.

If you feel that your older breast fed baby needs a faster flow, instead of going up a nipple flow, why not start him on the Avent magic cup? The unique design lets babies as young as 3 months drink form a cup. And the Magic Valve sippies fit all Avent bottles, so it's cost effective.

Supplementing with Bottles
I am the mother of a four month old daughter and a four year old son. I am using the Avent bottles and nipples to feed my daughter expressed breast milk when I cannot be there to nurse her. The slower flow of the newborn nipples is as close to breastfeeding as one can get with a bottle, according to my lactation consultant. My daughter has no problem switching back and forth, which makes my husband's life a lot easier when it comes time to feed her! Both the bottles and the nipples are bigger and easier to wash. We have been very pleased.

would get the variable flow nipples instead
I love all the avent products so far but in the future I think I would just order the newborn nipples and then the variable flow nipples. My son used the newborn initially but by the time he was a month or two old, the slow flow nipples were already too slow for him. Each baby is different so some of this is trial and error, but the variable flow gives you several options in one.
