Happy Valentine's Day to all the people who bring so much care into infant feeding work! Love shows up in the small, every-day moments of caring for babies and families. Thank you for all you do!

Flow rates for the Munchkin Bond bottle are now available. Having access to measured flow data can help add clarity when comparing bottles and ni***es across brands, especially when packaging alone doesn’t tell the full story!

Flow Pro is a professional membership designed to support evidence-informed, developmentally appropriate feeding decisions. If bottle ni***es and flow are part of your clinical work, Flow Pro gives you the data and context to dig deeper.

The Munchkin Bond bottle is a relatively new option. The area that contacts milk is entirely glass, with a silicone grip bonded directly to the bottle itself. Unlike some glass bottles that use removable silicone sleeves for protection, this silicone is attached, and gives it a nice grip so that the glass doesn't slip out of your hand.

Overall, the shape and size are similar to Dr. Brown’s, though the Munchkin Bond ni**le is slightly narrower, at the tip and the base of the ni**le.

I've successfully completed testing of the Stage 1 ni**le, and testing of Stage 2 is beginning soon. During the testing, the bottle vented smoothly, and there were no leaks!

Congenital Heart Defects (CHD) are the leading cause of death from birth defects, claiming more children than all childhood cancers combined. This week is about honoring those born with CHD, supporting families navigating complex care, and continuing to advocate for research that improves outcomes.

At Infant Feeding Labs, I recognize that many infants with CHD face feeding challenges that require patience, nuance, and evidence-informed support. Awareness matters, but so does continued learning, collaboration, and care long after this week ends.

The Suavinex bottle ni***es are a flat ni**le option.

Flow-rate data for Suavinex Zero Zero 0m+, Zero Zero 3m+, SX Pro 0m+, and SX Pro 3m+ ni***es is now available through Flow Pro. This membership provides clinicians with flow data and education to support informed feeding decisions.

If bottle ni***es and flow are part of your clinical work, Flow Pro is designed to support you. Learn more or join here: https://infantfeedinglabs.com/professionals. ***es

While testing the Suavinex SX Pro ni**le, I noticed milk coming out of the vent hole in one of the ni***es I was testing, which you typically don't see. When I looked closely, I noticed a small crack along the rim of the vent opening.

If you ever notice milk leaking from the vent like this, it’s a sign that the vent isn’t functioning as intended. The ni**le should be discarded and replaced.

This is a good reminder to take a quick look at ni***es during cleaning and use. Small changes can cause bigger functional issues! Learn more here: https://infantfeedinglabs.com/professionals. ***es

A couple of quick tips for using the Suavinex SX Pro - You do need to put the ni**le in through the top of the collar instead of pulling it through the bottom. When doing this, I found that I really needed to make sure the ni**le rim was lying flat inside the collar. Sometimes, it was flipped over.

The SX Pro has a built-in vent, but during testing, I found that it didn't vent properly if the bottle was screwed on too tightly to the collar. This can be especially tempting with glass bottles, where the collar can feel like it needs to be extra snug. Over-tightening can interfere with the bottle's venting.

Suavinex, a Spanish bottle brand now available in the US, offers two ni**le options. The Zero Zero, which is marketed for babies doing both breast and bottle feeding, has a collapsible insert. This collapsible insert allows the bottle to not need a venting system. The SX Pro works with their glass Bonhomia bottle and has a built-in vent. Both are flat, but the Zero Zero is an angled bottle.

Measured flow rate data for Suavinex ni***es is now available through Infant Feeding Labs Flow Pro. Learn more or join Flow Pro here:

Flow rate data is now available for all Pigeon bottle ni**le types, including SSS Preemie, S 1+M, M 3+M, L 6+M, and LL 9+M. Having access to measured flow rates across sizes makes it easier to move beyond age labels and better understand how these ni***es actually compare during feeding!

All of this data is available through Infant Feeding Labs Flow Pro. This professional membership gives you access to flow rate data and education to support thoughtful, developmentally informed feeding decisions when bottle ni***es and flow are part of their work.

Flow rate data for all Pigeon bottle ni**le types is now available! This includes measured flow rates across the different ni**le variations, giving professionals clearer insight beyond age ranges and packaging labels.

All flow data can be accessed through Infant Feeding Labs Flow Pro, a professional membership designed to support evidence-informed, developmentally appropriate feeding decisions. If bottle ni***es and flow are part of your clinical work, this resource is built for you!

The Pigeon Preemie SSS Soft Touch ni**le pairs a soft silicone ni**le with a glass bottle base and interestingly does not have a collar, but the ni**le pulls over the edge of the bottle. The Pigeon Preemie SSS is intended for babies under 2500 grams (about 5.5 pounds). It is a more narrow ni**le than the wide-neck Pigeon. As with any bottle, what matters most isn’t the feature list, but how the ni**le functions during feeding, including flow, venting, and how a baby coordinates sucking, swallowing, and breathing.

Flow rates for this ni**le are now available in Infant Feeding Labs Flow Pro. This professional membership gives clinicians access to measured flow data and education to help interpret how different ni***es compare and what those differences may mean in practice.

Bottle ni***es can look very similar on the outside, even when they function differently during feeding. Age ranges, materials, and flow labels don’t always reflect how a ni**le actually performs.

Flow rate data for these ni**le types is now available in Infant Feeding Labs Flow Pro. This professional membership offers access to measured flow information and education to support thoughtful, developmentally appropriate feeding decisions.
