Lifefactory BPA-Free Stage 1 (0-3 Months) Silicone Nipples, 2-Pack

We have been very pleased with the entire LIFEFACTORY line of bottles, nipples and caps. We were nervous after reading some fairly bad review and my sister warned that babies don't always like certain types of bottles. But we plunged ahead and bought several bottles & nipples in preparation for our little one. Since we adopted, he is only bottle / formula fed, so bottles are very important to us. We love the life factory glass bottles and all the "accessories" have been great, too. The nipples are made of a high quality silicone so they will last. Our little one also likes the longer silhouette as he can latch on really well.My only complaint is that the stage is hard to see on the bottom of the nipple. We are just now ready to move to stage 2, so I'm worried it will be hard to tell them apart in the middle of the night...

These are great nipples, our exclusively breastfed baby has taken to them and had no trouble. I do wish that Lifefactory would find a way to clearly mark the different stage nipples, it would make life much easier, but other than that I have no complaints. I love our lifefactory bottles!Edit: baby is now 10months, we have put away the stage 1 nipples now, did that at 9 months, an was amazed at how well these nipples have held up through 6 months of constant use! Top rack dishwasher every other day and they are still in perfect shape! And word on the street is that these are now labeled with stage 1 on them, perfect!!!!

I’ve been using for about two weeks. flow is fast. I’ve been blending (nutri bullet) smoothies for my 12 month old and the nipples are working perfectly! just blend all the lumps out and you’re good to go.after about two weeks one nipple has clouded as previous review stated but I’m not sure if that’s a problem... are clouded nipples defective or dangerous? other than that, these are just what i wanted. nipples for baby smoothies.

These nipples fit easily into the Lifefactory bottle caps. The flow is perfect for a growing baby. I upgraded to size three when my daughter was about 6-7 months old. She is now 10 months and the flow is still working really well for her. The nipples are easy to wash and have held up to vigorous use and washings for months. I would definitely buy more product from this producer in the future! Highly recommended!

Ok, so I don't know from experience if this is better than the real thing - but it's really darn good.We tried so many nipples for our first baby, and this had everything we wanted. A natural action, no gas, no choking, easy to clean and a very sanitary material. The quality is outstanding.The baby loved the nipples, and wifey's nipples loved the break. Win-win if you ask me.

I love love love my life factory bottles. We purchased a bunch of the 8 oz bottles knowing that the 4oz would be outgrown very quickly, however the larger bottles start with the level 2 nipples which were too fast for the little one. I love the thickness and durability of these nipples as they don't feel as flimsy and plasticy as other companies products. Worked great for us for the short time we used the level ones.

I have twins that were exclusively breastfed for the first 3 months, and then given bottles when i had to go back to work full-time (though I still nurse them whenever I'm home). A lot of literature out there says that the best nipples for breastfed babies have a large base (unlike these) but I really think it's depends on the baby. Both of mine hated the Playtex Natural Latch ones that I tried initially even though my older daughter loved them when she was a baby. Since I wanted to switch to glass bottles anyway, I decided to give Lifefactory a try and surprisingly the twins were fine with it. It does look a little funny because the entire nipple disappears into their mouths so their lips touch the white ring cap but they seem happy so I can't argue. The most important thing for me was that using these nipples has not impacted the way they latch on me at all. However, like I mentioned before, I think it's very baby-specific so you won't know until you try.I've been using the nipples for 4 months now and they've held up great. Right after using, I simply throw them in a stainless steel bowl filled with soapy hot water, soak them for 15-30 minutes and the're good to go after rinsing. If I wait too long after feeding them to throw them in the water they sometimes have a little bit of residue but that's easily cleaned using a nipple brush.

I've only ever needed to use one out of the box. We have one bottle and just wash it immediately after we use it. My daughter is off the bottle now but used this for almost 6 months with no problem and they didn't stain or rip or anything. If you are someone who forgets bottles in the car, or your child puts them in hidey holes for you to discover much later, the smell will definitely linger and you may need to toss. I had this happen once with the same brand but different life stage. No amount of washing would get the smell of rotten milk out lol. As long as you clean it and dry it right away, one will probably last you as long as you need it.
