I was asked to try out these nipples.  Babies in the first 3 days do not
like it.  The end of the nipple is quite hard and I could feel the
babies resisting when they felt it in their mouths. It took them an
unreasonable amount of time to drink.  I like slow flow, but this was
too slow.  
  Mothers of older babies said that it took the babies a few tries to
get used to the nipple.  It is not exactly like the breast.  On the
breast, we have a combination of positive and then negative pressure
which removes milk.  In this nipple, it is only positive pressure which
opens the holes and sends the spray into the baby's mouth. 
I am interested to hear what others think.
