<< I just attended a conference last week, and they IBCLC teaching it said
that
she has a study, I am asking her for r acopy, that states that Nuk nipples
that are fast flow are really bad for nursing babies that nursing babies
need to be fed with slow flow nipples, she says it is more the issue of the
flow rate than the shaper of the artificial nipple.

Several years ago, I attended a workshop by a speech pathologist who
specialized in working with children and in particular, correcting feeding
problems in bf infants. She was quite informative and I remember specifically
that she said that the Nuk nipple proved to be the most damaging to tongue
position and function, but she didn't say if it was b/c of shape or flow.
