What is a good slow flow nipple to simulate breast?

Question

I am pumping so my husband can participate in feeding, but my dd sucks down the milk from the bottle so fast she spits a lot up after. I was wondering if there was a bottle system with a really slow flow nipple. Right now I am using Playtex Vent Air Advance that I got for my shower. These are the ones that are supposed to be the best for reducing gas, but unfortunately they are "fast flow."

Answer 1

the first years "breastflow" bottles are the best that I have ever used.. the baby determines the flow of the bottle just like the breast. i went through so many bottles and all the other ones when she got on my breast she would pull and tug cause she wasn't getting it fast enough like the bottles.. so i bought this one with high hopes.. and it exceeded my hopes!!

i'm giving you a link, when u get there click on the mom testimonials on the right side. then click on how it works.. and you'll be amazed

Answer 2

you can buy the nipples seperatly depending on the flow, or you could try the adiri bottles they help reduce gas and cholic and has the the only nipple truly shaped like a mother's breast ( thus no confusion between bottle and breast) , they are also BPA approved. they cost more then the other bottles but work great. i got mine from Zellers.

Answer 3

I would recomend the "NaturaLatch" nipples for the Playtex Drop in bottles. They make them in "Slow Flow" as well as other speeds.  I've breast fed my son since he was born,but had to supplement in the beginning and had to bottle feed breast milk when I returned to work.  I have had no problems with gas due to the slow nipple that is shaped more like the breast, and squeezing the air out of the bottle liners.

However, you should be able to find slow flow for vent air bottles, since Playtex makes those as well.

Good luck! :)
