Bottle Nipples
Which bottle nipple to use is a frequent question from parents. Generally, you want to use a slow flow nipple and paced bottle feeding (slow feeding) so an infant doesn’t get used to taking a high volume of breastmilk or formula from a bottle and then be less patient with slower flow at the breast.
