When you are looking for the best baby nipples for bottles, especially for a preemie, I have found that the softer the better. Samaiyah prefers the latex to silicon nipples because of how hard they are.
Their are some you may want to look into that reduce colic. They do this by not allowing the baby to suck a lot of air while drinking the bottle. Hey if it can keep a baby from fussing about a tummy ache I'm all for it.
Enfamil slow flow preemie nipples and enfamil preemie bottles nipples are very tiny preemie nipples and this is what we started Samaiyah off with. They looked almost like a doll bottle they were so small but she was only drinking 3oz a feeding when she first came home.
Whether you have a preemie baby or full term they will let you know which type of nipple they prefer. You can fight it or you can accept it kind of like thumb sucking.
Yes Samaiyah is a thumbsucker. It's cute to me, I know some people are opposed to it but we will cross the bridge of breaking her from it when we come to it.
