Gail asked what those of us working in NICU are using when mothers can't be in to breastfeed very often and have to get rid of the gavage tube. We are stuck like you are with the R......nipples (standard, no red premie nipples). Our occupational therapist is a genius with infant suck (both breast and bottle) and she prefers these over some others. Many of the moms bring in their own Avent bottles and nipples and request we use them. We have good luck with going back and forth from those to the breast. No perfect solution here but you asked! Have a good day. Deanne, R.N.
