I have a hard time suggesting any particular brand of nipple because it has
been my experience that when all the nipples in a given package are lined up
and "tested" by turning a bottle of water upside down at the sink they tend
to be different. It appears that the label is almost useless, that there is
poor quality control in manufacturing of bottle nipples. It is not unusual
to find a few very fast nipples and perhaps one that is blind. Therefore, I
recommend that moms do this test and choose the slowest ones they have.
