The only one of its kind...

by Hands on Dad 2008-07-16

My son was born with a medical condition that requires us to thicken his liquids. The Doc Brown Y cuts are ideal for his feedings. They can be difficult to find in retail stores. The only store around us that even carries them is Babies R Us and they are almost always out of stock. My only complaint is that after about three weeks the opening on the nipples start to widen and this causes the liquids to pour out too quickly. When your paying $6.00 for three nipples and have to replace 6 to 9 of them every three weeks it gets a little expensive. Aside from the widening problem it really is a good product. I know it has helped with my son's feedings. If Doc Brown can figure out a way to keep them from wearing out so quickly it would be a five star product instead of a four.

Cheaper Elsewhere

I really like the y-cut nipples to start cereal. I've had to start my twins early (2 months) because of reflux issues and they do great with these nipples. But I only paid 2.99 at a different website, so do some searching.

Found this absolutely useless...

by annie 2007-12-22

I read the reviews and thought this was going to be the answer for the cereal bottles and bought 9 bottles in total. However, everything clogged in them and it never worked well for me at all.

Also, Target lost my order and eventually it arrived, weeks late. Then, when I tried to return it for a refund, they had an administrative glitch and refunded us for $0. We just received the correct refund the other day, after multiple phone calls and time. Frustrating...

A very bad experience with a product that worked very poorly for me.
Not recommended.

great nipples

by crazymom 2007-11-03

great nipples to use when you add cereal to the night bottles, it flows well with thicker fluids. Now that my baby is older he even drinks formula out of these nipples because level 4 is too slow for him. excellent quality, durable and opening wont stretch.

great product

by ShopperMom 2006-10-22

My baby also has to have cereal thickened formula for his really bad reflux (as ordered by his doctor i might add). These nipples work great as long as the formula is too thick to use in a regular stage 1 or 2 nipple. The only problem i have found with these nipples is that you have to be gentle when you are using a nipple brush to clean them so that you don't tear the y-cut opening.....2 of our nipples tore at the cuts causing the hole to become larger. But gentler cleaning and checking the nipples before each use has remedied this problem. Also want to add that my son started using these nipples at the age of 2 months and has had no problems sucking from them.
