Winnie asks:

< Hmmm-can
anyone come up with a set-up that  has the action and flow variation
of Haberman and the wide-mouth opening of the Avent nipple?  (I know
it already exists-the human breast.  I'm talking about those times
when for whatever reason, valid in our opinion or not, baby is going
to get a bottle.)>

We are having success "retraining parents" (and grandparents) of WIC
breastfeeding babies, when the adults have chosen to use a bottle at
times for whatever reason, and then interpret their baby's rapid
"chugg-a-lugging" as proof of extreme hunger. We explain that this is
actually a stressful struggle on the baby's part to keep from choking on
the flow, and we explain this method:
