I bought some new bottles and boiled the nipples but they do not flow like the used ones my sister gave me. What's the trick to new nipples??

There are two sizes... Stage 1 and 2. The lines on the side of the nipple are more slanted for size 1, and almost straight vertical for size 2. There is a huge difference in flow between the two, so I can only assume that is your issue. If you look carefully there is also a number on most of them. My package came with some of both.

I used all off my meldela nipples with these bottles. They are interchangeable.

Mine arrived with nipples that my baby had hard time sucking, very low flow. We ended up not using them at all.

I'm sorry, I don't know because I don't have those. I only used the nipples that came with them.

The one on mine had medium and slow flow. The small bottles had slow and the big ones had medium.

I went through over 30 different kinds of bottles! I did use the sensitive at first but really didn't find much of a difference in bottles. I found the nipple and this brand was a go for me! Hope it helps!

Yes. I've purchased each and the 5oz bottle set came with slow-flow nipples while the 8oz set came with medium-flow.

Yes all three of them come with nipples, and they are medium flow. The smaller 5 ounce bottles come with the slower flow nipple. But my little guy at 2 months was ready for the medium flow :) LOVE these bottles

If you like Iceland Pure as much as I do, I would go ahead and buy another bottle. Then, use the new pump to finish the open bottle and then use it for the next bottle. I know, now, that I'm going to hang on to the pump I now have just in case something like this might happen sometime. Hope this helps. Otherwise, I wonder if you might go to a kitchen store and see what kind of pump they might have. I'm thinking perhaps a salad dressing dispenser might work. Also, you might take a look at shampoo bottles - some come with pumps. Hope something works out!

Your hole should be just perfect enough that you have to screw in the nipples with a socket or wrench. That tight of a fit. If it's not like that then you have a hole size issue. If it is tight then you have a sealing issue. Easy fix.

I bought a small brush in the baby section designed for cleaning bottle nipples. It fits right in there. You might also try a paste of baking soda and water and work it in there with a toothpick or a skewer. But I recommend the nipple brush.

yes. i have bought nipples separately and they have worked just fine. i ended up having to go back to level 1 nipples for my son and had no problem (the bottles came with level 2). hope this helps!

I boil the nipples the before the first use. There is never a problem with them afterwards.

We had the same question. The numbers don't correspond to anything except stuff for the manufacturer. You can tell the flow by squeezing the nipple. Super easy to tell that way. Hope this helps - we LOVE our baby grow up set!

There is a mix of slow and fast flow nipples with the starter set. It's a silicone nipple that resembles the breast. The nipples are wider at the base near the closure ring. Good for going from breast room bottle. No complaints. Hope this helps.
