both my twins love these, they are perfect for nursing babies, mine splutter even with the slow flow ones that come with the evenflow nursers, and while they do ok with the Avent #1 and now Avent #2, they both prefer these nipples. It does take them 10 to 15 min to drink up 4 - 7 oz same as at the breast. The evenflo glass bottles are bpa free, and safe to pump into, and these nipples work great with them for breast fed babies of all ages. Mine love these still at close to 6 mo, and they are normal avg size babies.

My newborn is a very aggressive "sucker", and would gulp her bottles down as quickly as she could, choking and coughing so frequently that it made ME anxious every time I had to feed her. These nipples were supposedly better than the regular nipples that came with the Evenflo glass bottles, but I personally did not like them (saw NO difference in function between this and regular nipples). IF YOU HAVE AN AGGRESSIVE EATER WHO THEN SUFFERS WITH GAS, GET THE BORN FREE BOTTLES AND NIPPLES - YOU (AND YOUR BABY) WILL BE MUCH HAPPIER!

I have a preemie that hasn't quite mastered the whole suck-swallow-breathe that he needs to use a regular nipple. I use these nipples in conjunction with the Dr. Brown's bottles. Using this combo has been working the best for my DS. I don't use them with the Medela bottles that they came with. They make my son too gassy and the Dr. Brown's slow nipples go too fast.

My daughter is a vigorous nurser and we supplement with expressed breast milk while I am at work. She cannot draw the milk in from these nipples and if she is hungry enough to do the extra work it takes about 40 minutes to eat 4 oz. Not worth it.

Great product. Fits medella bottles perfectly! Shipping was quick. I love these bottles and nipples, as they fit perfectly with the pump and are relatively inexpensive.

Works for the baby, works for us. We wanted to purchase the slowest possible product so our newborn wouldn't feed too fast. These did the trick nicely.

I though I was ordering regular medela nipples, but I received the wide-base kind. I couldn't use those, so I returned them. I received credit for my return without any problem at all.
