“My daughter will drink from these bottles (using the preemie nipple). It is amazing! These bottles have saved my daughter from needing a feeding tube!!”

AL in Edmond, OK

“Infant transitioned from Newborn Floor to NICU due to “choking” (using Enfamil Slow Flow). Assessed and provided Dr Brown’s Newborn (LT/Transition) nipple and infant was home within 24 hours with no further episodes of “choking.” Parents were grateful and staff acknowledged the benefit of nipple flow change. It is a change that is within our reach. We have to do better because we know better.”

Suzanne S. Schneider MS, CCC/SLP, CNT, Tampa, FL

“Switching babies to the preemie nipple is so effective in helping them manage the flow rate. Even if they aren’t “preemie,” many babies with different diagnoses greatly benefit from slower flow nipples!”

JKN, SLP, Hawaii

“I had a little boy with severe lung disease. His first nipple was the Ultra-Preemie™ nipple and that saved him from getting a G tube. He needed that Ultra Preemie™ nipple fit a very long time before transitioning to the Preemie Flow™. So grateful for your products!”

Yoko Masuda, OT, CA

“We love the newborn nipple (LT) because it happens so frequently that the preemie nipple is too slow (tiring) for the babies but the level 1 is too fast. It’s the Goldilocks’ of nipples in your line!”

Deb Cuthbert, BC Women’s & Children’s Hospital, Vancouver, BC

“After educating staff, nurses and families, I will then trial the Dr. Brown’s bottle system with preemie or Ultra-Preemie™ nipple and the infant (pending otherwise doing well medically) then progresses much more rapidly.”

Heather Horn, OTR.L CA

“Using the Ultra-Preemie™ nipple with post-surgery congenital heart patients has been a game changer to provide earlier gentle oral experiences as before the hospital nipple was too fast. This nipple has been reliable.”

Jennifer Fogel, Speech Language Pathologist
