What are the best bottle nipples for breastfeeding babes?
ByWith my 1st, I used Avent and they worked very well. My 2nd wouldn’t take any bottle. I’m going to start doing my wish list, and I want to know what the best nipple is for breastfeeding babies.
Thank you!

I really recommend the Playtex nurser system. Their nipples are very large, so they resemble the breast, and since the bags collapse, they are wonderful for preventing gas. I started out on just plain old Gerber bottles and my son had terrible gas. As soon as I switched, he was a different baby.

Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature are what I used… though some people find them difficult to use. They’re designed to avoid nipple confusion.

I found that the playtex drop ins nipples are great for breastfed babies

I agree with the others about the Playtex drop ins. Get the latex nipples. My baby is still breastfed, and we started out with different bottles, and she started latching incorrectly on me, so we kept trying different ones, and when we started her on the Playtex dropins-latex, she corrected her latch within 3 days. She now nurses and bottlefeeds very well and has been for almost 7 months.

i have always heard the playtex drop ins work the best with breastfeeding.

I’ve used NUK and Avent. NUK has nipples that are naturally shaped. The only thing I didn’t like about them is it took my baby soooo long to eat from them, but they were better for her because I wanted to breastfeed as long as possible.
