Those were the only ones my bottle refusing DD1 took. I stuck with them with DD2/DS2 and the twins took them great to. </p> <p>While these bottles have quite a few parts it’s great that they can be sterilized within itself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/suggest-a-bottlenipple#post-2877663 Fri, 22 Mar 2019 04:47:35 +0000 Becky 2877663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Went through SO many bottles until we found MAM anticolic bottles for DD2. She didn’t have colic/gas but was super picky about the nipple shape. Its supposedly no passive flow but not much resistance. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/suggest-a-bottlenipple#post-2877655 Thu, 21 Mar 2019 22:11:47 +0000 Sams Mom 2877655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Avent natural </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/suggest-a-bottlenipple#post-2877652 Thu, 21 Mar 2019 21:58:54 +0000 cyntist 2877652@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My boys did well with Avent Natural bottles with the level 0 nipples. I could only ever find that size online. There are adapters to connect Avent bottles to narrower pump setups, like Medela. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/suggest-a-bottlenipple#post-2877642 Thu, 21 Mar 2019 20:21:31 +0000 SweetiePie 2877642@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I might have posted about it here, but my 13mo also preferred/did best with those disposable nipples on the readymade bottles.<br /> We ended up with the Avent anti-colic. Settled on it around 3/4 months and used them up until we stopped bottles a few weeks ago (but did eventually increase the flow speed). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/suggest-a-bottlenipple#post-2877637 Thu, 21 Mar 2019 20:08:23 +0000 mediagirl 2877637@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My lo hated the comotomo bottles. We ended up using Avent natural. They're not narrow neck but I've figured out a system with adapters to work with my pump. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/suggest-a-bottlenipple#post-2877633 Thu, 21 Mar 2019 19:54:15 +0000 periwinklebee 2877633@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If doctor brown's level 1 didn't work for you, I would advise against comotomo. We initially tried the Comotomo newborn ones with my LO, who had a hard time due to a tongue tie, and the flow (both active and passive) was way too fast for him and he would choke and gasp. Doctor brown's level 1 was a huge difference. Lactation consultant told me Comotomo is not a true slow flow.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/suggest-a-bottlenipple#post-2877623 Thu, 21 Mar 2019 18:18:54 +0000 agold 2877623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Another vote for comotomo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/suggest-a-bottlenipple#post-2877619 Thu, 21 Mar 2019 18:03:17 +0000 gotkimchi 2877619@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used a special needs feeder from medela - it might work because you can have no flow but it rewards any amount of sucking </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/suggest-a-bottlenipple#post-2877612 Thu, 21 Mar 2019 17:39:46 +0000 Silva 2877612@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>These aren’t narrow but my kids have always done very well with Comotomo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/suggest-a-bottlenipple#post-2877606 Thu, 21 Mar 2019 17:24:25 +0000 lilyofthewest 2877606@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My little guy (4mos old, 9 weeks adjusted) is very willing to take a bottle, but we're having a tough time finding one that works well for him besides the disposable Similac slow flow latex nipples. Continuing to use them is far from ideal since they only last for a few uses before becoming not-at-all-slow and I have a pretty significant latex allergy.</p> <p>He seems to need something with minimal or no passive flow/drip but with very little resistance to active sucking. </p> <p>Tried so far:<br /> Dr. Brown's Preemie - too difficult for him to suck from/too much resistance</p> <p>Dr. Brown's 1 - too fast passive flow, chokes. active sucking resistance/flow seem about right. </p> <p>Gerber Essentials Slow - WAY too fast</p> <p>Evenflo Balance Slow - best so far, the passive flow is a little much and he chokes sometimes. The flow with active suck seems about right. Sadly, they don't make an extra slow or preemie option</p> <p>nFant gold - too much resistance</p> <p>I've been focusing on nipples compatible with narrow neck bottles since we already have a ton, but anything with pump adapters will work. </p>
