Product Information

Full details

The BIBS Baby Bottle Nipple in Medium Flow is designed for parents seeking a smooth transition between breastfeeding and bottle feeding, offering a breast-inspired, round shape that encourages a natural latch. Ideal for babies who have developed a more coordinated suck, these latex nipples provide a soft, pliable experience that mimics the feel of skin. While they offer superior comfort and flexibility, it is important to note that natural rubber latex requires more frequent inspection and replacement compared to silicone alternatives.

FAQs

Can I use these nipples with other brands of bottles?

These nipples are designed specifically for the BIBS Glass Bottle range and are not guaranteed to fit standard wide-neck bottles from other manufacturers.

How often should I replace the BIBS latex nipple?

Due to the natural material, we recommend replacing these nipples every 4 to 6 weeks or at the first sign of wear or damage.

Are these nipples BPA-free?

Yes, all BIBS bottle nipples are made from 100% food-grade materials and are completely BPA-free.

How do I know if my baby is ready for a Medium Flow nipple?

Medium flow is generally suitable once a baby has developed a stronger, more coordinated sucking pattern, typically after the first few months.

Can I boil these for sterilization?

Yes, you can sterilize them by boiling them in water for 5 minutes before the first use. Avoid excessive boiling thereafter to preserve the life of the latex.

What is the benefit of a round nipple shape?

The round shape mimics the natural shape of the breast, which helps the baby achieve a wide, deep latch.

Troubleshooting

Nipple collapsing during feeding

Ensure the anti-colic valve is not blocked and check that the collar ring is not tightened too far, which can restrict airflow.

Milk leaking from the collar

Verify that the nipple is properly seated in the collar ring and that the ring is screwed onto the bottle evenly.

Nipple showing signs of stickiness

This is a natural aging process of latex; if the surface feels tacky or sticky, the nipple should be replaced immediately.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up your bottle, insert the nipple through the collar ring until it clicks firmly into place, ensuring the anti-colic valve is clear of obstructions. These nipples are specifically designed for compatibility with the BIBS Glass Bottle range.

Care instructions include:

  1. Before the first use, sterilize the nipples by placing them in boiling water for 5 minutes.
  2. Regularly inspect the latex for cracks, thinning, or sticky residues.
  3. Replace the nipples every 4 to 6 weeks, or immediately if you detect any structural damage.
  4. Clean after each use with mild detergent and warm water, taking care not to pull on the nipple during cleaning to avoid tearing.
