 Love these!Nov 02, 2007
By Northwoods Mom
I was given this type of nipple (except they were rubber instead of silicone) from the hosptial when I had my son, and although I mostly breastfed, he easily switched back and forth to these for supplemental feedings or to drink pumped breastmilk. I've used these exclusively (the clear silicone ones now) since stopping breastfeeding and he has always loved them. Their shape is the same as the shape of a human nipple while nursing, so I believe that is why latching on and accepting these nipples is so easy. And to address other people's concerns about not being able to get milk out, this happened to me every now and then too, but I have found that massaging the nipple to make sure the venting hole on top is opened and working properly makes all the difference. My son sucked on a new nipple for 15 minutes until I finally realized he wasn't getting anything, and all I had to do was squeeze and massage around the vent hole for a couple seconds and instantly a rush of air bubbles came in through the hole--problem solved. (I think maybe after washing them sometimes the sides of the tiny hole stick together or something, or like someone else stated, the vent hole was not quite punched all the way thru during manufacturing). Another reason these are great (and why I use them) is that they'll fit inside any standard size bottle nipple ring, so you can go out and buy any standard size bottle you want and then just switch out the nipple. I prefer this to using drop-in liners because I don't like how much trash those liners create.
Nuk NipplesAug 20, 2009
By Sienna's Mommy
These were the only nipples my daughter would take after weaning. They seem to have a more natural shape than ordinary round nipples. The medium flow worked well for her at about 5 months. The only issue I have is the hole in the top is actually on the side slightly, when you cap the bottle it can leak since the hole is generally exposed even with a cap on so when you shake the bottle it leaks...learned the hard way with that :)
Fantastic nipple for breastfeeding moms!Jun 16, 2009
By Mom2TwoBoys
I bought the NUK bottle/nipple when trying to find one that my son would take for expressed breastmilk. The shape is extremely similar to the shape of mom's nipple when feeding and I noticed that my baby held this nipple with his tongue and lips in much the same way as when he was feeding from me. Also, because the milk comes out of the nipple at the roof of the baby's mouth, he is less likely to choke on milk shooting down his throat.
Because I didn't want to spend too much money on new bottles, I tried to give my son the Playtex Nurser I used for my first baby. He wasn't having it -- and five months later he still prefers the NUK.
I highly encourage other moms to try one bottle and see what they think. Your baby will love how soft and natural this nipple is in his/her mouth.

 parents bewareAug 28, 2006
By Jessica Franke
My nephew who is a week old had a terrible time with the Nuk Orthodontic nipples in the stage 1 slow flow nipple. He latched onto the nipple just fine but after 5 to 15 mins of constant sucking, my nephew couldnt get any formula at all. We changed out the nipple on the bottle and he downed the formula immediately. Nana and I threw out these nipples, they didnt work at all for him! Maybe other parents or aunts will have better luck with this product than we did.
