Our 7-week-old breastfed baby could not seem to figure out how to get pumped breastmilk out of a bottle until we tried these. I don't know if it is because of the shape of the Dr. Brown's or if it is because the material they are made of is more pliable, but somehow these nipples made the difference. You don't have to use them with a Dr. Brown's bottle; they will fit into Evenflo standard glass bottles, or probably other types of standard bottles as well.

First let me say that the actual nipples I would give 5 stars. Our baby has done really well with the Dr. Brown nipples, progressing through the various levels. I was also super happy when she started using the level 3 nipples as it really cut down the time to feed her a bottle. (Just don't advance to the next level too soon, or you might find yourself water-boarding your baby.)

The reason I've taken some stars away is that I'm pretty sure that they have changed the packaging everywhere to only have two nipples in a pack. So I'm guessing that this 3 pack selling here is old inventory, which wouldn't be a problem if it wasn't so much more expensive than you could get the 2 packs for, Dr. Brown's 2 Pack Natural Flow Level 3 Standard Nipple.

In conclusion, highly recommend these, just not the three pack at its current price.

These nipples have been perfect for my twin babies. We use the level 3 for milk and formula. We also use it for juice, but it does not handle well the more dense juices. For those I recommend the "Y" nipple.

I bought this nipple from a target local store for my 9-month-old son, it has been working great for him, and I decided to buy another set. This one really helped him eat fast and eat more.

When the doc told us to put cereal in his bottle, we couldn't have lived without the level 3's. They are the only one with a hole big enough to get the thicker liquid through.

Absolultey love Dr. Brown products, but would never pay $9.99 for a 3 pack of nipples! You can buy them for less than 3.00 at your local Store!

We have several types of bottles, but I really only like using the Dr. Brown ones. Seem to work well for my son. The cleanup really isn't that bad. Someone gave it one star because they had to clean extra parts...boo hoo. I'd rather have my son using a quality product and sacrifice the extra 15 seconds it takes to clean up. That's my cross to bear I guess...lol. Plus I call them Doc Brown bottles and say "Great Scott!" a lot...so my love of Back to the Future could make me biased.

The only reason I gave this nipple a 4 instead of a 5 is because it would likely be too fast of a flow for a breast feeding baby. It drips quite fast just by turning it upside down, which is great for cleft palate, but not so good for the average baby with normal sucking power. My son with Cleft Palate started off using a Haberman nipple, but after he became more skilled at getting milk out of the Haberman and handling a faster flow, the Doctor Brown level 2 seemed to work as efficiently. Being a soft nipple, with a fast flow, my son with a cleft palate is still able to get milk using these nipples. From 2-3 months he used the level 2 nipple, and then at 3 months the level 2 and the medium flow of the Haberman were too slow for him. The level 3 seems to work well enough that I don't need to buy any more Haberman special needs feeders. It's nice to have something that costs less than the Haberman as an option. It is also nice to not have to worry about changing the flow by rotating the bottle when feeding at night or letting someone else attempt to feed him. Though I know every child with a cleft is different, I'm glad that this has worked for my son.

Love Dr. Browns bottles and love Dr. Browns nipples. With our first daughter, we had a generic brand of bottles, with our 2nd daughter we purchased Dr. Browns and she has had a lot less gas and eats better.

My baby has been using this since she turned 6 months. She is now almost 8 months. I haven't tried any other nipples so I don't have anything to compare this to but all of the Dr. Brown's nipples have worked great so far!
