Mixing and matching glass baby bottles with different nipples can help you find the perfect feeding combination for your baby. This guide provides an easy-to-use compatibility table, listing many glass baby bottle brands and which nipple brands fit them (including both the bottle’s own brand nipples and cross-brand alternatives). Always double-check fit and test for leaks when pairing a bottle with a non-original nipple.
Comprehensive Compatibility Table
Below is a comprehensive table of glass baby bottles and compatible nipple brands. Bottles are grouped by brand (with neck type in parentheses), followed by nipple brands known to fit those bottles. (Bold entries indicate the bottle’s own brand nipples; all others are cross-compatible options.)
| Baby Bottle Brand | Compatible Nipples & Notes |
|---|---|
| Philips Avent (Natural & Anti-Colic) | Avent Natural (wide-neck) bottles use only Avent Natural nipples. They share a standard wide-neck threading compatible with many other wide-neck nipples (e.g. Spectra, Lansinoh mOmma, Pigeon, MAM). Note: MAM nipples fit Avent Classic/Anti-Colic (narrow) bottles only (they do not fit Avent Natural bottles). Avent Classic (Anti-Colic) bottles use only Avent Classic nipples and have a unique vented ring; stick to Avent’s own nipples for these narrow bottles. |
| BabyBuddha | BabyBuddha bottles (included with the BabyBuddha pump kit) are wide-neck and compatible with most standard wide-mouth nipples. Parents report using Philips Avent Natural, Spectra, Motif Luna, and even Zomee or Pumpables nipples on BabyBuddha bottles with no issues. Note: BabyBuddha bottles have no internal vent, so use nipples with built-in vents to prevent vacuum. |
| Boon Nursh | Boon Nursh silicone bottles use their own Boon Nursh silicone nipples exclusively. The Nursh system has an air-free pouch design (no vents or rings), so other nipples won’t fit properly. No cross-brand compatibility – stick with Boon Nursh nipples designed for the collapsible pouch system. |
| Chicco (Duo & NaturalFit) | Chicco Duo bottles use a wide-neck design that is compatible with Philips Avent-thread nipples. (Mōmi confirms their wide collar fits Chicco Duo.) Chicco NaturalFit bottles also use wide silicone nipples; however, cross-brand use is limited. For best results, use Chicco’s own NaturalFit nipples or other standard wide-neck nipples (Avent style) if they form a secure seal. |
| Comotomo | Comotomo bottles can only be used with Comotomo silicone nipples due to their unique extra-wide neck and collar design. No in-brand alternatives besides Comotomo’s flow options, and virtually no cross-compatibility (other nipples won’t snap into Comotomo’s ring). (Hack: Comotomo nipples can be paired with regular wide-mouth mason jar rings to create a DIY glass bottle.) |
| Dr. Brown’s (Standard & Wide) | Dr. Brown’s Standard/Narrow bottles use Dr. Brown’s vented narrow nipples. You can remove the internal vent and use standard narrow nipples from other brands (Medela, Evenflo, Gerber, etc.) since the threading is standard. Dr. Brown’s Wide-Neck bottles use Dr. Brown’s wide silicone nipples (with internal vent options). Cross-brand, they are known to fit Lansinoh NaturalWave nipples securely, and other wide-neck nipples may fit with varying success (test for leaks). Always ensure at least one venting system is in place (either the Dr. Brown vent or a vented nipple). |
| Emulait | Emulait bottles use only Emulait Anatomy/Classic custom nipples. These bottles have a proprietary design (including a required flow-control valve). No cross-compatibility – you must use Emulait’s nipple with its bottle. (Emulait nipples are custom-shaped to mimic mom’s anatomy, so they won’t fit other bottles either.) |
| Evenflo (Classic & Balance+) | Evenflo Classic (standard neck) bottles use Evenflo classic nipples and share a standard narrow thread compatible with Dr. Brown’s standard, Gerber First Essentials, and other classic narrow nipples. Evenflo Balance+ (wide-neck) bottles use wide silicone Balance+ nipples. These wide bottles are cross-compatible with Philips Avent Natural and similar wide-thread nipples, as they have nearly identical threading. For example, parents have used Evenflo Balance+ bottles with Pigeon and Lansinoh wide nipples successfully. |
| Gulicola | Gulicola glass bottles use a wide, breast-shaped nipple (slow-flow for newborns). They fortunately accept many other brands’ wide nipples. Confirmed fits include Pigeon and Lansinoh nipples (popular for breastfed babies), Evenflo Balance+ wide nipples, and Motif Luna wide nipples. Even Walmart’s Parent’s Choice wide nipples have been used on Gulicola. In short, any standard ~50mm wide-neck nipple with a good sealing ring should work. Note: Gulicola bottles have an anti-colic vent in the nipple itself, so if you use a non-vented nipple, be sure the replacement has a venting system. |
| Haakaa (Gen.3 Silicone) | Haakaa Gen 3 bottles (silicone or glass) use Haakaa’s own Gen.3 silicone nipple with a special locking ring. No known cross-brand compatibility – only Haakaa attachments fit the Gen.3 threading. (The Gen.3 system is modular, allowing you to swap Haakaa’s bottle nipple, sippy spout, pump flange, etc., on the same bottle, but you cannot use other brands’ nipples.) Always use the Haakaa nipple + ring designed for Gen.3 to ensure a leak-proof seal. |
| Joovy (Boob & Kooper) | Joovy Boob bottles use wide-neck Joovy nipples (very similar to Lansinoh’s design). In fact, Joovy Boob nipples and Lansinoh NaturalWave nipples are interchangeable on both bottles. Use the Joovy or Lansinoh collar as needed for best fit. (Joovy’s vent system is built into the nipple base.) Joovy Kooper cups/bottles may have unique threads – stick with Joovy’s own accessories. |
| Kiinde | Kiinde Twist feeding system uses twist-lock pouches and Kiinde’s proprietary Active Latch nipples. No cross-compatibility – Kiinde nipples attach to the Twist pouch via a special threaded collar that won’t fit other bottles. (Kiinde does include adapters to pump into their pouches from major pumps, but for feeding, only Kiinde nipples work without additional adapters.) |
| Lansinoh (mOmma) | Lansinoh mOmma NaturalWave bottles use wide-neck nipples designed to encourage a natural latch. These bottles share the same thread size as Pigeon, MAM, Avent Natural, etc., making them cross-compatible within that wide-neck group. You can use Pigeon peristaltic nipples on Lansinoh bottles and vice-versa, as they have the “same kind of nipple” base. Lansinoh’s own nipples have an internal venting groove; if you use another brand’s nipple on a Lansinoh bottle, ensure either the nipple or bottle provides venting. |
| Lifefactory | Lifefactory glass bottles use a standard narrow neck (they were designed to be compatible with many breast pumps). They work with standard narrow nipples such as Evenflo Classic, Dr. Brown’s standard, Medela and others. Lifefactory’s silicone nipple is similar to Evenflo’s classic shape. For best results, use narrow nipples with a collar from the same brand as the bottle (to ensure the threading and sealing match). |
| MAM | MAM bottles (Easy Start Anti-Colic) use MAM’s wide, flat silicone nipples. MAM bottles have a unique vented base (bottom) and their nipple lacks vent holes. MAM wide bottles share threading with other wide bottles like Avent and Spectra, but note: MAM nipples themselves will only fit properly in MAM or Avent Classic collars. (They do not snap into Avent Natural collars). If using a MAM nipple on another bottle, you must use a MAM collar that can screw onto that bottle. Conversely, you can use other wide nipples on MAM bottles if you keep MAM’s vented base in place to allow airflow. |
| Maymom | Maymom manufactures bottles and nipples as pump accessories. Maymom wide-mouth bottles share the same 50mm thread as Spectra and Avent, so they work with Spectra, Avent Natural, Motif and similar wide nipples. (Maymom’s own wide slow-flow nipple is a compatible replacement for Spectra) Maymom standard bottles (marketed as Medela-compatible) use standard narrow threads, fitting Medela, Dr. Brown’s standard, etc. In summary, use Maymom bottles with the corresponding standard or wide nipples of your choice. Tip: Maymom also sells adapter rings to mix-and-match different brands – useful if compatibility is an issue. |
| Medela | Medela bottles (from Medela breast pumps) are standard/narrow neck. They use Medela’s own nipples but also fit any standard narrow nipple (Evenflo, Dr. Brown’s narrow, Gerber, etc.) since the threading is universal for narrow bottles. Medela does not make a wide bottle, so if you need a wide nipple for a breastfed baby, you can pump into Medela bottles and then transfer to a wide bottle (or use a Maymom adapter to pump directly into a wide bottle). For Medela bottles, ensure you use a nipple with a vent (Medela’s nipples vent via a small hole in the collar). |
| Minbie | Minbie nipples are designed to fit standard wide-neck bottles (49.5–50.5mm outer neck). Minbie sells its own bottles, but those bottles have a typical wide thread, meaning you can use Minbie nipples on Philips Avent Natural, MAM, Spectra, Pigeon, etc., and likewise use those brands’ nipples on Minbie bottles, as long as the sizing is standard. Note: Extremely wide bottles like Comotomo or very narrow bottles won’t fit Minbie. For best results (to avoid leaks), Minbie recommends using their bottle or another known-compatible wide bottle. |
| mōmi (Momi) | mōmi bottles use a stretchy silicone nipple that requires a specific mōmi collar. Momi Gen2 collars are compatible with certain other wide bottles: you can attach a mōmi nipple + collar onto Philips Avent (wide plastic) bottles, Spectra bottles, Maymom wide bottles, and Chicco Duo bottles. (This allows you to use mōmi’s nipple on those bottle bases.) However, mōmi’s own bottle should only be used with the mōmi nipple and matching collar. No standard nipples will fit the mōmi collar/bottle due to the unique nipple design. |
| Momcozy | Momcozy Disposable Bottle Kit uses a special squeeze holder + liner system. Its Momcozy “Natural” nipples only fit the Momcozy bottle holder that secures the disposable milk bag. No cross-compatibility: These nipples won’t screw onto other bottles, and standard bottle nipples won’t work with the Momcozy bag holder. (The kit is a closed system; always use the provided Momcozy collar and nipples to prevent leaks.) |
| Motif Medical | Motif Luna bottles are wide-neck and essentially identical threading to Avent/Spectra. Use Motif wide nipples or any Avent Natural compatible nipple on Motif bottles. (Users have reported using Spectra or Maymom nipples on Motif Luna bottles interchangeably.) Motif’s nipples themselves are standard wide-mouth, so they can likewise work on Avent or Spectra bottles. |
| Nanobébé | Nanobébé bottles (Breastmilk Flexy bottles) have a very wide, rounded shape and come with their own nipple that “locks” in. Cross-brand use is very limited because of the unique domed shape. It’s best to use Nanobébé nipples with Nanobébé bottles. (Older Nanobébé Breastmilk Storage bottles were shallow and not compatible with other nipples at all.) Always use Nanobébé’s vented nipple with its bottle to ensure proper venting and seal. |
| NUK | NUK offers both narrow and wide bottles. NUK Orthodontic bottles (often sold under Gerber brand in the past) use a standard narrow collar, so they fit standard nipples (NUK nipples or other narrow ones) as long as you use the matching collar. NUK Simply Natural bottles use a wide-neck nipple with multiple holes; these have a unique thread size – stick to NUK’s own Simply Natural nipples on those. Cross-brand wide nipples generally do not fit NUK wide bottles securely. If using NUK’s wide nipple, note it lacks vent holes (NUK bottles have an anti-colic vent in the nipple ring), so only use it on bottles with that vented ring. |
| Nuby | Nuby bottles come in various designs. Their older standard bottles use narrow nipples (standard threading, so compatible with other narrow nipples). Newer Nuby Comfort or Nuby Natural bottles use wide, vented nipples that are generally proprietary. There isn’t much documentation on cross-use; in practice, it’s safest to use Nuby nipples on Nuby bottles. (If experimenting, ensure the nipple’s flange and bottle collar fit tightly with no gaps.) |
| NUMVIM | NUMVIM glass bottles are a newer brand with a breast-like nipple (often compared to Avent’s Natural Response nipple). They use a wide-neck bottle. Some parents report success using Pigeon or Lansinoh nipples on NUMVIM bottles (indicating a standard wide thread), but others find the fit inconsistent. Until more is confirmed, treat NUMVIM as only compatible with its own nipples to ensure no leaks. (Its nipple has an anti-colic valve; using a non-vented nipple could trap air.) |
| Pigeon | Pigeon bottles (e.g. Pigeon SofTouch) come in two types: wide-neck and narrow-neck. Pigeon wide-neck bottles use Pigeon’s wide peristaltic silicone nipples, which coincidentally fit other 50mm wide bottles like Lansinoh mOmma and Avent. Pigeon wide nipples can be used on Lansinoh or Evenflo Balance+ bottles with that bottle’s collar, and vice versa. Pigeon narrow bottles use Pigeon’s slim nipples (similar thread to standard narrow, but Pigeon’s collar is slightly different). It’s advised to use Pigeon narrow nipples only on Pigeon’s narrow bottles or certain narrow collars that fit well. Many parents mix Pigeon wide nipples with other wide bottles (to take advantage of Pigeon’s very slow “SS” flow). |
| Playtex (Drop-Ins & VentAire) | Playtex Drop-Ins (Nurser) bottles use disposable liners and a wide nipple that screws into a unique collar. Use Playtex’s own wide nipples (available in slow/medium/fast). Minimal cross-compatibility – other wide nipples won’t properly lock into the Drop-In collar. Playtex VentAire bottles come in wide and narrow versions; both have an angled design with a vented bottom. The VentAire Wide uses the same Playtex wide nipples as Drop-Ins (interchangeable within Playtex’s line), and VentAire Narrow uses Playtex’s classic slender nipples. Stick to Playtex nipples for these systems to maintain the leak-proof venting. |
| PopYum | PopYum formula-mixing bottles use a proprietary wide nipple that integrates with a formula compartment. Only PopYum nipples fit its unique 2-piece collar. There are no vent holes in the nipple (PopYum vents air through its internal mechanism), so you cannot swap in another brand’s nipple without losing functionality. No cross-brand compatibility – use the PopYum replacement nipples (Stages 1-4) on PopYum bottles. |
| Spectra | Spectra bottles (from Spectra breast pumps) are wide-neck bottles that conveniently share the same threading as Philips Avent Natural and others. You can use Spectra, Avent Natural, Lansinoh, MAM, Maymom, etc. nipples on Spectra bottles interchangeably. Spectra’s own nipples are vented; if you use a non-Spectra nipple on a Spectra bottle, ensure the nipple has a vent or use Spectra’s vented disc. (Spectra collars also fit on Avent bottles and vice versa.) This wide-neck ecosystem is very cross-compatible. |
| Tommee Tippee | Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature bottles have an extra-wide neck and dome-shaped nipple. These use Tommee Tippee’s own nipples exclusively – the thread diameter is larger than standard, so other brand nipples (even wide ones) won’t seal correctly. Tommee Tippee Advanced Anti-Colic bottles also require their specific nipples (and come with a venting straw). No reliable cross-compatibility for TT bottles; use the brand’s nipples (which have built-in anti-colic valves). If switching to another nipple, you likely need a different bottle due to TT’s unique size. |
| YOHKOH | YOHKOH glass bottles feature a “Natural Response” wide nipple (similar concept to Avent’s). Their threading appears to mimic Avent’s wide neck. A few users have tried Pigeon nipples on Yohkoh: some report a good fit, others had minor leakage – tolerance might vary by batch. Proceed cautiously with cross-brand nipples. It’s recommended to use Yohkoh’s own nipples or other wide-neck nipples that feel snug; always test with water for leaks. Yohkoh nipples have an anti-colic valve, so ensure any alternate nipple you try is vented. |
✧ Tommee Tippee Note: Tommee Tippee’s glass bottles (and plastic equivalents) have a unique wide-neck design. They generally only interchange with other Tommee Tippee parts and Klean Kanteen bottles. Using non-Tommee Tippee nipples on these may not seal properly.
Brand-Specific Notes
- Standard/Narrow Neck Group: Many classic glass bottles (Dr. Brown’s standard, Evenflo standard, Medela, Lifefactory narrow, etc.) share a similar narrow neck size. These can swap nipples freely without leaks. For example, Medela and Evenflo nipples fit each other’s bottles and also work on Dr. Brown’s standard bottles. BIBS glass bottles also use this standard size, allowing use of Dr. Brown’s or Medela nipples for a silicone option. Always use the matching collar/ring from the nipple’s brand if required (e.g. Evenflo Balance+ Standard nipples require their specific collar even on another bottle).
- Wide Neck Group: Most modern wide-neck glass bottles (Avent Natural, Dr. Brown’s Options+ Wide, Evenflo Balance+ Wide, MAM, Lansinoh/Pigeon, Joovy Boob, Chicco Duo, NUK Simply Natural) have compatible threading. This means you can often mix and match nipples among these wide bottles. For instance, parents have successfully used Lansinoh mOmma/Pigeon nipples on Dr. Brown’s and Joovy Boob glass bottles, or Evenflo Balance+ Wide nipples on Avent Natural bottles. Always ensure the nipple sits well in the bottle’s ring and forms a leak-proof seal when tightened.
- Anti-Colic Vent Systems: If you cross-use nipples on bottles with proprietary vent systems (like Dr. Brown’s or Tommee Tippee Anti-Colic), be aware the internal vents may not function as intended. For example, a Medela or Evenflo nipple will screw onto a Dr. Brown’s bottle, but you might have to omit the Dr. Brown’s vent insert, effectively using it like a regular bottle. This is usually fine, but the bottle won’t have its anti-colic function in that configuration.
- Chicco Duo: The Chicco Duo hybrid has a glass inner layer and plastic outer shell. Its wide neck threads are technically compatible with many other wide nipples (Avent, MAM, Evenflo, etc.). Because of the Duo’s two-layer design, always check that the nipple and ring sit correctly to avoid leaks.
- Lifefactory Wide: Lifefactory’s newer wide-neck glass bottles can use other wide nipples like NUK Simply Natural and even third-party wide nipples (such as Quark brand) designed to emulate a breast-like shape. This gives more options if your baby prefers a certain nipple shape.
- Older/Discontinued Bottles: If you have older glass bottles like original Born Free or Gerber bottles, they typically follow either the standard narrow size or an older wide format. Born Free’s wide glass bottles fit Dr. Brown’s wide nipples perfectly, which is handy since Born Free nipples are harder to find now. (The later Born Free Breeze line was not compatible with the original Born Free or other brands.) Vintage Gerber glass bottles use the narrow size (now basically taken over by Evenflo standard threads).
- Lansinoh & Pigeon Paint Warning: Note that some batches of Lansinoh mOmma and Pigeon glass bottles have painted measurement markings that were found to contain lead (Pb) in the paint in the past. Many parents avoid those or ensure they have the updated versions without paint. This doesn’t affect nipple compatibility, but it’s a safety consideration if purchasing those brands.
- Mason Jar Bottles: An honorable mention – while not a traditional baby bottle brand, some parents use regular mason jars with special silicone nipple adapters (e.g. Mason Bottle brand nipples) as glass baby bottles. These adapters come in versions to fit standard mason jar mouths and allow use of nipples on jars. This can be a sustainable option, but it requires the specific adapter and isn’t cross-compatible with standard bottle nipples.
Additional Information & Tips
Vented vs. Non-Vented Bottles & Nipples
Venting matters: Bottles need an air-venting system to prevent nipple collapse and gas. Some bottles have dedicated vent systems (e.g. Dr. Brown’s vent tube, MAM and Playtex VentAire bottom vents), while others rely on a vented nipple (a tiny hole or valve in the nipple skirt). When mixing bottles and nipples across brands, always ensure that at least one component provides venting. For example, if you put a non-vented nipple (like a MAM wide nipple, which expects a vented bottle base) on a bottle that has no vent, the baby will experience flow issues and collapsed nipples due to vacuum. In such cases, loosen the collar slightly to allow air, or better, use a proper vented nipple for that bottle. Conversely, if both the bottle and nipple have vents, you might get leaks — e.g. using a vented nipple on a Dr. Brown’s bottle with the vent tube removed can cause milk to drip. Tip: match one vented component per setup (bottle’s vent or nipple’s vent) and test-run with water to ensure no leakage or vacuum lock.
Rubber (Latex) vs. Silicone Nipples
Nipples come in two main materials: latex rubber (brownish, very soft) or silicone (clear, firmer). Most modern nipples are silicone, which is durable and doesn’t absorb odors. Latex nipples are softer and more flexible – some babies prefer their feel as it closer mimics skin. However, latex wears out faster and can crack or become sticky over time, so they require more frequent replacement. In terms of compatibility, latex and silicone nipples of the same brand are usually interchangeable on that brand’s bottle (e.g. NUK offers both silicone and latex options for the same bottle). If attempting to use a latex nipple from one brand on another brand’s bottle, check the fit carefully: latex nipples sometimes have a slightly thicker or more pliable flange which might not seal as firmly in a different brand’s ring, potentially causing leaks. Always do a test assembly with water. Also be mindful of allergies – a small number of babies have latex sensitivity, in which case stick to silicone. Whether you choose rubber or silicone, ensure the nipple size/shape fits your bottle’s collar snugly for a leak-proof result.
Helping Baby Transition to a Bottle
Switching a breastfed baby to a bottle (or between different bottle nipple shapes) can be challenging. Here are some tips:
- Shape and Flow: If baby is refusing a bottle, try a nipple that more closely resembles mom’s anatomy or the pacifier they like. A wide, breast-shaped nipple (like Pigeon, Lansinoh, Minbie, etc.) may help a breastfed baby latch better. Also use the slowest flow nipple necessary to mimic the breast’s flow – this encourages the baby to work at the bottle similar to the breast, preventing preference for an easy fast flow.
- Paced Feeding: Practice paced bottle feeding – hold baby fairly upright and the bottle horizontal, allowing baby to draw out the milk, and take pauses just like breastfeeding. This can improve acceptance and prevent choking or overwhelm from faster bottle flow.
- Familiar Scent & Comfort: Have mom wear a shirt or cloth and use it near the baby while someone else offers the bottle, so baby has a familiar scent without getting confused by mom’s presence. Often, babies take a bottle more readily from a caregiver who isn’t the breastfeeding parent.
- Experiment & Patience: Some babies prefer certain nipple shapes or materials – don’t be afraid to experiment with a few different brands (hence this compatibility guide!). For example, a baby who fusses with a firm nipple might prefer a softer, squeezable silicone nipple. Offer the bottle when baby is hungry but not frantic, and gently persist with one method for a few days before switching, so baby has time to adjust. Transitioning can take time, so stay patient and calm to avoid baby sensing frustration.
Troubleshooting Leaks & Proper Fitting
Nothing’s worse than preparing a bottle only to have it leak all over. When mixing and matching bottles/nipples, use these checks:
- Use the Right Collar/Ring: The collar (ring that screws the nipple onto the bottle) is just as important as the nipple and bottle for compatibility. Often, you’ll have the best outcome using the bottle’s own collar with the alternate nipple, as long as the nipple’s base fits securely in it. For instance, if putting a Pigeon nipple on an Avent bottle, use the Avent collar – users report this works well when the nipple is properly centered. The exception is if the threads themselves differ, in which case using the nipple+collar set from one brand on the bottle of another (if threads match) might work (e.g. using a MAM collar+nipple on a Spectra bottle). Always assemble and tighten just until snug – over-tightening can warp the seal.
- Check the Fit: After assembling, invert the bottle and give it a few shakes with water before filling with milk. Look for drips from around the collar. If you see leaks, reconsider the nipple/collar combo. Sometimes adding a thin silicone sealing disk (if available for that brand) under the collar can improve the seal when mixing brands.
- Align Nipple Properly: Some nipples (especially ones with flat sides or cutouts, like NUK or MAM) need to be aligned a certain way. Ensure the nipple sits evenly in the ring (not pinched on one side). For example, when using Pigeon nipples on another bottle, make sure the notch on the nipple (if present) isn’t caught, and center it before tightening.
- Watch for Wear: If a combo used to work and suddenly leaks, inspect the nipple and collar for damage. An older nipple might have hairline tears or a stretched flange. Replacing the nipple (or the ring) can often solve mysterious leaks.
- Avoid Mixing Vent Systems: Using two different anti-colic systems together can cause leaks. For instance, a bottle with a vented base plus a vented nipple might let milk out through one of the vent paths. If you notice leaks out of vent holes, stick to one vent – either disable the bottle’s vent or use a non-vented nipple.
- When in Doubt, Don’t Force It: If two parts clearly don’t fit (e.g., the ring won’t tighten, or the nipple pops through the top), don’t force it—each brand’s design tolerances are a bit different. It’s better to find a closer match or use an adapter. There are universal bottle adapters (like ones by Maymom) that can connect one brand’s bottle to another brand’s nipple ring, but only use those as instructed.
Using this guide, you can confidently mix and match to build a feeding setup that suits your baby’s preferences. Always test new bottle/nipple combinations for a secure fit and observe your baby to ensure the flow and latch are comfortable. Happy feeding!
