5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic bottle for special needs
We bought these bottles for our 6-week old daughter who has a cleft of the hard palate and is unable create suction to nurse or use a regular bottle. We initially used the much less expensive squeeze bottles from mead-johnson, but they were a pain to clean and warm, and it was difficult to tell how much we were squeezing into her mouth. It was also very time consuming and she would tire quickly before she got enough milk. We've used the Haberman nipples for over 2 months and love them. Baby compresses the nipple with gums/tongue, which releases milk into her mouth and then fills the nipple chamber via a one-way valve. The nipple can be rotated in baby's mouth to vary flow rate, which is indicated by a raised line on the nipple (at night I just feel with my finger to make sure I have it in her mouth correctly). The nipples needed to be broken in and we still had to squeeze the milk into her mouth until the nipples became a bit softer and she became strong enough to compress the nipple (she is almost 4 months now and can do this on all but one nipple). We bought one mini-feeder, which just has a shorter nipple than the regular feeder. The mini was great when she was smaller because she could compress it early on, but then the nipple split. Not sure why, but we had to stop using it. We use these with a glass Evenflo bottle rather than the one it came with. We use an Avent bottle warmer because the top of the bottle warmer allows the extra-long nipple to poke out of the top. We bought 5, but since they can go on any standard bottle you could probably get away with just 2 or 3. Finally, the nipples are a bit of a pain to clean. The product insert says to not use a nipple cleaner and so I just soak them in warm, soapy wate, and then use a wet paper towel to gently clean the inside. I recommend this nipple to anyone who has a baby that can't nurse/suck.
5.0 out of 5 stars Love This bottle!
Very very pleased ! My daughter had such an awful time trying to even take a bottle . She would chug and gulp down so much air it sounded awful even with pace feeding . This bottle has been an absolute miracle for her, she has lip and tongue tie and a very high palate. She gets absolutely NO air with this bottle . It has the perfect stream of milk and only comes out when she sucks . It actually mimics the breast honestly. I’d highly recommend it. The price is a bit much but as awful of s time as she was having with every bottle we tried , this was very much worth every dollar ! I’d hugbwho ever made the bottle
5.0 out of 5 stars Great for baby with breastfeeding issues - weak suck/poor latch due to tongue tie!
Most reviews are for cleft palate/lip newborns so I thought I would leave a review as we purchased for our newborn who has a weak suck, tight jaw, and an uncoordinated tongue *see update below*. As a result, he has been unable to get an effective latch or suck. A nipple guard helped some, but he still only pulled an eighth of my supply from a breast. After some research, we purchased this as a means to mimic the breast as much as possible and also for the awesome benefit of him having to work on strengthening his tongue and suck. It has been really excellent as we can also mimic the nipple towards his nose to get him to open for a latch before allowing him to take the "teat." We are very gentle and mindful when rinsing/cleaning as these are quite expensive and so far it has held up well. Also huge bonus it fits with all Medela bottles since I'm currently exclusively pumping.*update* still 5 stars just to share that I posted this review before my little guy was finally diagnosed with a deep posterior tongue tie. The speech therapist and ENT were not surprised that this was the only bottle effective for him and actually super impressed I even found it (kudos to the Baby Whisperer!). I am grateful we found it otherwise I fear he would've lost a harmful amount of weight by the time we could get in to see the right specialists and have his tongue tie released.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great for tongue and lip ties!!
Long story short, my daughter has both tongue and lip ties and wouldn't latch on to a bottle no matter what I tried. She went to daycare for two days and didn't eat for 7- 8hours while she was gone. She's been nursing fine but just wouldn't take a bottle because she COULDN'T. I read a previous review for this bottle of someone who said their baby had ties as well so we figured we'd try one last bottle ( we've tried 9 already). This one worked!! She was able to latch onto it immediately and didn't fight it or scream at it as she usually does with a bottle. I have such a weight lifted off of me knowing she won't be starving all day. Highly recommend!!
4.0 out of 5 stars Great idea
Bought this for my tongue tied bottle refusal baby after going thru ten other refused bottles. She didn’t take it. If need be you can squeeze milk from the nipple and easily rotate to switch flow rates. Cons are that the bottle is expensive and it doesn’t come with a cover/cap. So the nipple is just exposed.
1.0 out of 5 stars Great for babies with cleft palate. I wish I would’ve had it sooner
The bottle is great it’s the only one that has helped my baby with cleft palate . But! It’s leaking ! I’ve only had it for 2 weeks and it’s leaking already . Also they’re super expensive I wish they were ore affordable consider we need more than one
5.0 out of 5 stars Life Saver
This bottle was indeed created with lots of love and hope, my daughter was born with the birth defect of a cleft in her soft palate.She was unable to breastfeed or suck any other bottle. After researching online about her problem I came across this bottle and decided to give a try, after all I did not have much options available having exhausted everything I heard about her condition, etc.This bottle is beyond perfect, easy to use and best of all my baby gets nourished. The first time we used it i was brought to tears after seeing her finally being able to suck to milk. I never knew about her condition until 2days after I gave birth, the doctors at the hospital never checked her properly when she was born. She ended up back in the A&E 2 days after she was born for not being able to nurse and one head doctor detected her problem. So it was very very hard and stressful to have to research and learn about it since my country does not have a local support group or anything. THis miracle bottle sure helped us, I bought like 3more after, you will not be disappointed. THank God for this invention!
