Just received my 8oz bottles in the mail and the nipples have 3 holes in them - uh, aren't these the "fast flow nipples" for 6+ months?

you may see a hold-like dot in the middle, but it's not really a hole. you can check if they have two or three by squeezing water out of nipple. I thought i received 3 holes all along, so i was feeding my 8 months with the nipple that came along, but it was actually 2 hole nipples. I'm now buying addtional 3 hole nipples.

The 9oz bottle comes with the Fast Flow nipple. You can buy the Slow Flow nipple separately which I would recommend as my daughter used Slow Flow till she was well into her sixth month. Make sure you order nipples for the "Wide" bottle. The Standard bottle nipples are smaller. You can use the vent disks for both sizes but the nipples are different depending on the bottle: Standard or Wide. Standard also has Medium Flow nipples available for purchase separately which is convenient as a transition from Slow to Fast. I would recommend the Standard bottles over the Wide bottles for this reason plus they are slimmer so take up less room in the diaper bag! The 9oz bottle comes with the Fast Flow nipple.

hi , looking over the reviews it sounds like they come with a average nipple not for newborns so maybe get some nipples for newbornsand save the ones they come with for the future . i bought this product as a baby gift for my niece's baby . her baby shower was huge but the baby bottles she used were the ones i bought her . those old fashion glass ones along with another gift of all 3 stages of nipples.

I want to say yes! I am not 100% sure but it seemed me as they were. Because when u bought level 1 nipples from another brand it would pour less than with this nipple. I used it for my new born he was fine with it he got used to it with out a problem. They are so convenient!

I bought these bottles based on an answer here that said the flow is medium which is inaccurate. When I received the bottles there was only one hole and these are stage one, meant for newborns.

Typically, you need to read the fine print but most of these 8 ounce bottles come with medium flow nipples. The smaller bottles come with infant slow flow nipples naturally. If you think about the size, the 4oz. bottles should have the slower flow and the 8oz. bottles should have the faster flow. I recommend buying the exact flow you want for your individual infant or child.

I purchased medium flow and fast flow nipples from Target and used those instead. ..they let the formula flow easier. The babies did not have to suckle so hard with the nipple change.

Hi Cathy - I've summarized all 4 types of flows that we have for you: Slow Flow (0-3 months) - 1 hole. Truly slow flow, ideal for newborns up to 3 months. All our 5oz bottles comes with this flow. Medium Flow (3-6 months) - 2 hole. A bit faster for your growing little one. All our 8oz bottles come with this flow. Fast Flow (6+ months) - 3 hole. Suitable for your babies 6 months and up. Variable Flow (6+ months) - Y-cut. This allows your baby to control to flow rate, and its good for thicker fluids.

no its not the nipple that they send with the bottle is a three so it will be a fast flow for the baby.if you do order the bottle ill suggest to get a separate nipple with it.i hope I answered your question

When you buy the 2 oz bottles in the box, it comes with 1 nipple. The 8 oz bottles don't. Amazon just sells the nipples separately

The pouches have a hard top with a screw-on cap, so when that's unscrewed (and the pouch is inserted into the case for the bottle), the nipples they provide pop right in. Like Erika H. said, there are three flow options - fast, medium, and slow. They also come with an adapter that's used to connect directly to the breast pump, and those can be used to connect to nipples not made by the manufacturer.

They fit into the original bottles and the avent "naturally" bottles. They don't know about the newest bottles because I haven't owned any; the newer ones are not backward compatible with the others for nipples/lids, etc. though....

I could not find this answer and I have both sizes. One does seem to have a faster flow than the other but the nipples are not labled, that I am aware of. I have mixed them up from using both so I don't know if it is coincidence or not. Please post an answer if you find out the flow of the nipples.

Well, I just opened mine and you are right. Mine has a big hole as well. And it is hard to purchase droppers for these bottles, darn it.

Interestingly, I have both the narrow bottles pictured (I belive these are no longer on the market) and the wider bottle which is now on the market, and both say "advanced." So what you have to do if make sure if you are using the narrow ones to get nipples to fit, which I don't believe are sold at Babies R Us, etc., I got mine through the Internet. My grandson could not nurse, and these bottles saved the day, could not use the "fat" VentAire bottles and nipples. So...again, both the older and newer bottles both say "advanced, so just take care which ones you are dealing with and get the right nipples. Hope this helps!

How many do you need in the 1st year? I a actually have 5 bottles so I get a bottle that already has the nipple and then 2 packages of 2. 1 hole is great for the 1st few months, then when your baby is eating more, go to 2 holes and then after a few months go to 3 holes. Don't worry about following the timeline set by Avent. If the milk is thicker more holes is better but just know that your baby may not be ready for more holes if they spill a lot. Also if they get suction blisters on their lips, that's a clear sign to up the holes on the nipples. I hope that helps. Good luck!
