This is the only nipple my son likes on the bottles he gets while I am at work. He is breastfed all the rest of the time. If you are breast feeding, only offer stage one nipples so baby gets a slower flow like mom's nipple. Exclusively breastfed babies dont increase volume of milk at the rate of a formula fed baby because breast milk changes composition as baby's dietary needs change so this will be the only nipple size you need.

I would not stock up on any brand of bottle/nipple before your baby is born. Wait to see which your (breast milk OR formula fed) baby likes first.

We love the Born Free bottles and have used them since we started supplementing with formula when our daughter was 3 and a half weeks. However, we have found that the flow rate on the level one Born Free nipple is a little too fast for her. They allow her to gulp down a bottle much to quickly and also make her fussy at the breast. She also started spitting up as soon as we started her on bottles even with the Born Free colic inserts. We started using the Avent level one newborn nipples on the Born Free bottles. The Avent nipples are a little stiffer and have a much slower flow rate. She's doing quite well with this combination and tends to take longer to finish up a bottle and she also spits up less now. We're saving the level one nipples that came with the Born Free bottles until she's a little older and completely weaned from breastfeeding.

Born Free Stage 1 Nipples- Twin Pack We had a baby in 12/07 and bought all new Dr. Brown bottles for him. Then we heard about BPA and switched to Born Free to get BPA free bottles. However, the Born Free nipples collapse with vigorous sucking and frustrate the baby. We found this with the 12 nipples we bought so it couldn't have been just one bad batch. My husband bought new Dr. Brown nipples and tried them on the Born Free bottles. They fit! He saved the day! We tossed the Born free nipples and now use our Born Free bottles with Dr. Brown nipples of the corresponding size. Works great.

These are the only bottles and nipples either of my kids would ever take. They work great. The gas reducing parts are tedious to clean, but they really work great. I've tried just about every bottle out there and these are the best.

These nipples are marketed as for 6month + babies but I'd read that these nipples were a bit too fast for infants at the younger end of that range. So I kept using stage 2 until my baby was almost 8 months. I just introduced them and he'll be 8 months next week. He loved them -- took to them with no problems whatsoever. We've been using the Born Free bottles and nipples since he was about a month old, and it's been great. No leaks, EVER which is a huge improvement over the Avent bottles.
I highly recommend the whole system. I can't say from experience whether the level 3 would be too fast for a 6 month baby, but my 8 month old loves them, and thus I do too.

I have been using this bottle system with my now 11-mo old since he was born. He took to this bottle with the level one nipple with no problems. I have never had any problems with leakage or with nipple collapse, but by age 5 months or so did progress to the level 2, which he also did very well with. He is now using the Y fast flow without any problems. I will continue with this system, starting with the level one nipples, with my daughter who will arrive in July.

Great product and great seller. Shipped on time. Very Wonderful. Good good good. :). But it's a gift for my sister. I didn't use it I don't know how is it. Looks perfact to me. :)

I used this nipple for the first 6 months with my twins and my most recent infant (buying a new set for the newbie of course!). I've never had one break or fall apart and all 3 babies responded well and drank well from them, easily transitioning from BF to bottle and back again. These nipples are pricey and the bottles will fit Dr. Brown wide mouth nipples but those are softer than these and seem to collapse more easily.

The whole Born Free bottle system is easy to work with and seems to be a good product overall. Used with 2 children.
