Have you noticed the ni***es in the bottom row are often promoted as most “breast-like?” Interestingly, these ni**le shapes can promote what we call “straw” sucking, where baby’s mouth closes around the tip of the ni**le and doesn’t promote a deep latch. When babies “straw” suck on a bottle ni**le, you might see gaps in the corners of the mouth which can lead to leaking milk, gulping air, etc.

If you and baby are experiencing bottle refusal, breast refusal (after introducing a bottle), or bottle/ni**le preference, it may be worth trying one of the bottles with a more ideal ni**le shape. We want the ni***es we use to allow baby to switch from bottle to breast or vice versa very easily (if you’re nursing). ⁣
⁣
The bottles pictured at the top have a gradual widening between the ni**le tip and base that typically provides for better mouth placement and a deeper latch.

Note: If the ni**le shapes that are “less ideal” are working for you and baby, no need to change!
