Evenflo Balance+ Bottle Nipples Wide Medium/Fast - 2pk

My review really doesn’t have anything to do with if the nipples worked or not I just received them today and one of the packages was ripped completely open, looks like it was opened before it was sent. It just makes me nervous to use them for my baby.

After just one month of use, we noticed the milk flows out at a significantly faster rate than before, making it difficult for baby to swallow comfortably. When I asked Evenflo if it's common to deteriorate in this manner over such a short period, they offered nothing but excuses. To my concerns about the need to replace so frequently, they said to "routinely replace every 1-2 months." That is just crazy. We've used Dr Brown's for years without having to replace and will return to them after this frustration. Asking new moms — who are already managing countless expenses — to routinely replace bottle nipples every 1–2 months feels out of touch with the reality of parenthood and not sustainable. It’s discouraging to see the emphasis placed on user error or baby behavior rather than standing behind the durability of their product. A product meant for daily use with infants should be built to withstand reasonable wear, even with careful cleaning and normal teething behavior.

The flow indicator is inside the rim of the nipple, medium flow shows two drops. However, these nipples collapse while baby is drinking, which it’s not supposed to do.

I did A LOT of research before my baby was born knowing I was going to nurse and bottle feed. I wanted the best most comfortable option for us both. The newborn nipple slow flow was great! We had no problems and she was enjoying her bottle. Once she hit 3 months out LC said we should increase the flow on her nipples. We ordered the next size up for the medium flow and the entire shape of the nipple is different. I noticed, but prayed she didn’t. She did. It was a nightmare and now she was refusing the bottle. Why on earth would you change the shape?! Know babies and babies and so finicky!? I truly don’t understand. We needed up going with Lansinoh. So not recommended evenflo for this reason. Who knows you may be able to be persistent, but the shape may also be different on the high flow!

Sadly Evenflo has changed their nipples greatly over the last 3 years and the flow “type” is not clear nor consistent. It took us months to find replacement nipples as we had to guess what number/symbol meant what compared to ones we have for our first baby. Great bottle & nipple shape but a pain to find. Also some nipple openings began cracking making them flow too quickly.

These medium flow nipples are horrible. They leak and collapse. There is a tutorial on the website how to avoid the nipple collapsing that shows they acknowledge the product issues but keep selling them. Do not buy

I bought these to upgrade from my daughters slow flow nipples and had to order 5 packs and one of the nipples didn’t have holes in it. Other than that they have been great. My daughter isn’t having nearly as many gas pains since we’ve switched to these bottles.

Terrible and did not work well way too fast! Switched back to the 3 month nipples

Love this bottle! Grandma and grandpa said out of all 6 grandkids my daughter has the least amount of spit up with feedings and the only difference is we have only used the evenflo wide neck bottle and my siblings used other bottles.

great to prevent colic gas iin newborn and handy for while in the car seat feedings you don’t have to tilt the bottle

Love these for our son! He wouldn’t take to any other bottle.

These fit the bottle well and have a nice flow to them.

It doesnt fit any other bottle. Its waste for me . I bought because my lactation consultant suggested, but she yold me this will other bottles as well. It is pretty expensive and alot of shipping charges on it. I cant even return it , because we have to pay for shipping again here in canada to send it back.

Works well as advertised! Looking to find the medium flow!

You can’t tell which flow the nipple is. There’s no number or letter to show. I prefer the wide versus the narrow. I got the narrow because the wide didn’t have medium flow. The medium flow is quite a two up from slow. My baby would get frustrated from the slow sometimes and I switched the medium but she also didn’t like that one. I’m sticking with medium for now and she’s 3 months.

Nice to have this option! But I wish it were this way for the wide neck bottles!

They are super hard to attach onto the bottle and they leak like crazy out of the side, and not due to an attachment error.

I could only buy two packs at a time from the webpage, so I had to pay multiple delivery fees, and there is no logical jump from medium flow to fast flow, there should be one in between… I don’t like this brand, they don’t have availability of products.

My baby loves these! Recommended by my lactation consultant.

We have been waiting for months to find medium flow nipples from EvenFlo. Multiple nipples in our original set of low-flow nipples developed large holes at the tip of the nipple, probably because we were cleaning too aggressively, but even though our baby had graduated beyond low-flow, we were forced to buy more low-flow because these medium flow nipples were never available from EvenFlo or any other retailer. Like, we shopped for months, fretted over it, and changed from the wide to the standard neck bottles because there were finally nipple options in stock. We contemplated changing to another manufacturer, but didn’t want to mess with that factor with our tongue-tied baby. I consider us lucky to have been able to buy two sets of these nipples. They work reasonable well if you make sure that you pinch the valve after every washing/sterilizing, otherwise they develop a pressure lock. It would be really helpful if EvenFlo gave better written instructions on how to keep that valve clear— otherwise they don’t work! Also be super careful using a small bottle-brush in the tip, or you will tear the nipple and your baby will choke and sputter. EvenFlo, do better: better instructions and better inventory!!! Makes the anxiety of feeding even higher.
