Nipple Help for Soothie Bottles

I haven't used the Soothie's because my son wouldn't accept any paci, but I LOVE the Avent bottles and playtex Ventair bottles. I suggest buying just one bottle of Avent and try it out for a week or so. These are super easy to clean so it's not a big hastle. I only have one right now because I'm switching over to Avent. My son has a huge mouth (like mommy's) and the Avent works well with him and they come in a billion sizes. Bottle and nipples.

Hi! I hope your preemie is doing well!
My oldest was born at 28 weeks & he would not accept any pacifier but the soothie. I love the fact that you can buy them at stores now. 8 1/2 years ago you had to go back to the hospital to get more so I didn't dare loose any of them, (back then they didn't have the soothie bottles). My son adapted well to the Avent bottles. It took him a few a few bottles for him to figure out how to latch on to it (after using regualr non wide nipples). I would try the Avent. You only need to buy one (though that can get expensive).
I wouldn't use any other nipples with the bottles that you have as they could leak, make a really big mess & not work as they should. Also, I would never make holes in any nipples as it could cause them to tear & choke your baby.
God bless!

i have used dr. brown bottle i like them. But if you want to stay with them why dont you make the hole bigger so it flows faster and keep what you have

I know most people dont even think about this, But if you contact the company directly(usually with an address on the box, or a phone#) they usually contac tyou back if by phone within 24 hours(unless weekend) or within 7-10 days by mail.
Usually they can tellyou waht they offer- Iknow ifyou look at online websights as sometimes they have things stores do not carry.
I did that with my daughter When she was young. The stores didnt carry the type of bottle I needed for her(this was about 13yrs ago 12-13 years but still,). I went on line found what i needed, and called the comp for a back up suggestion, It worked. I got what i needed, PLUS the company sent me a coupon inthe mail good for 6months for 10.00 off any of their items. good for instore or online.
I hope that helps.
good luck.

I know you want to stay with that brand Dee, but i PROMISE you that Dr Brown bottles are the best for gas and stuff! The best! I say you just switch to the wide mouth Dr Brown's!! :)

Another option is to stick to stage 1... unless there's an issue. I tried the later stage nipples with my first, but went back to stage 1 because she drank too fast. I never used stage 2 at all with my second. (I should note that my kids were breastfed but got bottles at daycare, etc.)
