Philips Avent Natural BPA-Free Nipples - Fast Flow, 6 Months, 2ct

I was hesitant to test out a new bottle and a new, fast flow nipple because my baby has only ever used one (different) brand of bottles and nipples and had not yet moved up to a fast flow nipple. The Avent Natural Fast Flow nipple is awesome! I offered it to my nine month old and was surprised and delighted that he took to it immediately. The nipple is shaped more like a breast than the ones he is used to, and I think that was actually part of why he was so quick to use it (we breast and bottle feed). I think it is great that there are options for different flow rates; some babies (like my older child) prefer a slower flow, but others, like my nine month old, are more voracious eaters and he was much less impatient/fussy with the Natural Fast Flow nipple. The design also clearly works well to prevent gas – I could see little bubbles forming on top of the milk in the bottle as he drank, which meant he was not taking in that air. The bottle is a bit on the wide side for my comfort when holding it, but the minimal number of parts, ease it takes to clean and assemble, and nipple shape/flow make it a serious win. Happy baby, happy mom! Thanks to the weeSpring Parent Panel for providing me with this product.
