Hi, Nikki,

I received one of these, also, and imagine that most ILCA members or
whatever list the mfgr. bought will receive one. I didn't care for the
slogan about "the perfect design, so they patented it". The thing that I
would be concerned about with this teat is that it has a 'squared' end, vs.
domed end. I was concerned that the edge could be very irritating to a
baby's palate, over time. What do you think? I took a few swigs with it. It
doesn't shoot out like most bottles. My 8 year old promptly absconded with
it, and after she used it, the "micro" holes tore. Of course, that wouldn't
be normal wear and tear with a baby :-)

I've become such a fan of paced feeding, that really anymore, the cheapest
nipple will usually work.I am not a fan at all of Avent's nipple. I think
that is such marketing hype. Babies tend to close on the narrowest part of
the teat with the purse-string mouth. To get to the flange, the long teat is
crammed down their throats, and the milk squirts out with compression of the
base. The shortest teat possible would look more like most moms.  

Anyone else used this with a baby yet?
