I love the Nuk nipples.

My son was 5 weeks premature. During his first feeding at the hospital he turned blue and stopped breathing. He ended up in the NICU on all the monitors. Once his feeding tube was removed they began trying him on bottle feeding. We tried every kind of nipple the hospital had but he kept bradying (low heart rate). Finally one of the nurses tried the Nuk. He went from having 7 or 8 brady episodes each feeding to maybe having one every 4 or 5 feedings.

He is now 6 weeks old and the nuk is the only nipple we've had success with. I would recommend this product to anyone, especially parents of a preemie who generally have trouble feeding.
