Dear Dr. Leeper:
I enjoy your posts and so wish that you could be cloned!
Is this narrow ventaire bottle you describe different to the vent-aire
bottle that is sold?
warmly,

Thanks, Nikki. There are many days when I wish I could be cloned, too!
No---I just say "narrow" to differentiate it from the "wide-mouthed" version
of the ventaire bottle.
Even though they are both "Stage 1" and "slow-flow", we find the
wide-mouthed actually flows much faster. And while this bottle is not
perfect by any means, it can be used as a tool to promote sucking in a kid
who is chewing. But it is the slowest one out there (that I know of) so NOT
a good choice for sleepy newborns who might give up before they get fed.
Often bigger babies will be too impatient with the flow to switch directly
from a "regular" bottle to this one, but moms can often feed them "half-way"
with their regular bottle, then let them play with the ventaire to figure it
out.
