For moms who nurse, I would not recomend more than the two hole slow flow nipples, even with an older baby. The slow flow rate makes them realize that the faster easier way to get milk is from natures source, your breast! Even with the one hole flow rate, my daughter finishes off a bottle in 10 minutes flat, I don't worry that she needs a faster flow.

A good choice for older breast fed babiesMay 24, 2001
By Olivia "Olivia"
I went back to work only 6 weeks after the birth of my daughter and I believe the unique shape and anti collapse design of this nipple kept her from beconing confused and preferring a bottle.

If you feel that your older breast fed baby needs a faster flow, instead of going up a nipple flow, why not start him on the Avent magic cup? The unique design lets babies as young as 3 months drink form a cup. And the Magic Valve sippies fit all Avent bottles, so it's cost effective.

Good Nipples, Mediocre Classification SystemNov 02, 2003
By Sara Swihart
I really like Avent's versatility; the nipples, spouts, cups, bottles and handles can all be used interchangeably.

I don't like the way they classify their nipples. Each nipple has 3 classifications. I wish they would only use one classification system because it can be quite confusing if you go to buy different nipples.
1.) flow
2.) baby's age
3.) a number

Also, the title of the item doesn't say what age or number of nipple this is, and there currently isn't a description.

FYI:

They are number 3 for 3+ months.

Supplementing with BottlesJun 14, 2001
By mom2mykiddos "Karen"
I am the mother of a four month old daughter and a four year old son. I am using the Avent bottles and nipples to feed my daughter expressed breast milk when I cannot be there to nurse her. The slower flow of the newborn nipples is as close to breastfeeding as one can get with a bottle, according to my lactation consultant. My daughter has no problem switching back and forth, which makes my husband's life a lot easier when it comes time to feed her! Both the bottles and the nipples are bigger and easier to wash. We have been very pleased.

Avent Variable Nipples Are A Life Saver!May 23, 2001
By PAL
The Avent Variable Flow Nipples allow formula mixed with cereal to pass through the nipple hole with ease. At a baby's young age, when the flow must still be relatively slow, you can turn the nipple so the Number I that's embossed in the nipple is lined up with the baby's mouth. This allows the formula mixed with cereal to still pass through the nipple hole easily, but doesn't cause the baby to choke due to the formula flowing too quickly. As your baby gets older, you can turn the nipple in his mouth so the Number II is lined up with the baby's mouth and this allows for a quicker flow, and, ultimately to the Number III "setting". The only two negative things I can say about these nipples is that (1) you can't find them in any store. After finding the initial two packs of nipples in a popular baby store, I had to buy the next two packs over the Internet. They weren't available in any store. And (2), there are no instructions with the nipples to explain how the variable flow works and how the numbers correlate with the rate of the flow.
