A: Lactation consultants recommend using the slowest flow nipple that your baby will tolerate. Because of the unique design of Active Latch nipples, there are no recommended age ranges - the optimal flow rate is largely controlled by your baby. The choice of slow, medium, or fast is more baby-specific than age-specific. If your baby has no issue with the slow nipple, it's probably not a bad idea to stick with it. As your baby grows and, depending on the baby, may nurse more aggressively, there is a small risk they may stress the nipple excessively and risk causing tearing. If you notice that happening, we recommend moving to a faster flow rate. If your baby is becoming obviously frustrated with the slower flow, we'd recommend moving them to a higher rate. As you are experimenting with faster flows, of course keep a close eye on your little one, just to make sure they're not getting overwhelmed by too much milk!
