<<The dad gives the supplement and is using an Avent slow-flow nipple. >>

these are the fastest of the slow flow nipples.  at least of the ones
i've been testing this week.


slowest:
1.gerber slow flow plain/classic (in the pack of four, one was really
fast, three were the slowest I found....thanks Anne Grider!!!)
1. dr. brown's (nothing comes out unless the nipple is actually sucked.
nothing. but            when it comes out, it's a bit faster than the
above gerber, but then when sucking     stops, flow completely stops)
1.evenflo comfi  (in the six pack, two were really fast, two were quite
slow, two were  moderate)


moderate:
2.playtex natural latch *silicone* nipple (the latex ones i tested were
fast)
2.munchkin tri-flow (set to slow)

not at all slow:
3.avent slow flow
3.evenflo 'classic' straight nipple (there was one that was slower than
the others, but         overall, they were 'quite quick' (alan rickman in
love actually:))

i also want to look at the playtex ventaire small nipple (not widebased,
that one I already have found to be fast)


disclaimer:   These results won't necessarily be replicable since there
does seem to be a good bit of variation in flow rates even in one
package.  i have tried many examples though of each nipple to try to get
an 'average' user kind of assesment.
