Evenflo Balance + Standard Neck BPA-Free Silicone Slow Flow Baby Bottle Nipples - 0 Months+, 6ct

I did A LOT of research before my baby was born knowing I was going to nurse and bottle feed. I wanted the best most comfortable option for us both. The newborn nipple slow flow was great! We had no problems and she was enjoying her bottle. Once she hit 3 months out LC said we should increase the flow on her nipples. We ordered the next size up for the medium flow and the entire shape of the nipple is different. I noticed, but prayed she didn't. She did. It was a nightmare and now she was refusing the bottle. Why on earth would you change the shape?! Know babies and babies and so finicky!? I truly don't understand. We needed up going with Lansinoh. So not recommended evenflo for this reason. Who knows you may be able to be persistent, but the shape may also be different on the high flow!

Sadly Evenflo has changed their nipples greatly over the last 3 years and the flow “type” is not clear nor consistent. It took us months to find replacement nipples as we had to guess what number/symbol meant what compared to ones we have for our first baby. Great bottle & nipple shape but a pain to find. Also some nipple openings began cracking making them flow too quickly.

I bought these to upgrade from my daughters slow flow nipples and had to order 5 packs and one of the nipples didn't have holes in it. Other than that they have been great. My daughter isn't having nearly as many gas pains since we've switched to these bottles.

You can't tell which flow the nipple is. There's no number or letter to show. I prefer the wide versus the narrow. I got the narrow because the wide didn't have medium flow. The medium flow is quite a two up from slow. My baby would get frustrated from the slow sometimes and I switched the medium but she also didn't like that one. I'm sticking with medium for now and she's 3 months.

These nipples constantly collapse no matter what we did to fix the vent or the tightness of the collar. My daughter would get so frustrated and wouldn't drink as much milk. We suffered for months with this issue until we finally gave up and got new bottles and my daughter is drinking so much more easily with the same flow rate.
