what parents are saying
We did not need this for more than a few months but it was the only nipple he seemed to take well. It is three parts and that is a pain but it was worth it. (May 09, 2017)

Both of my babies never took to these bottles, just something about the nipple shape is not natural enough for breastfed babies Sep 02, 2022
This nipple leaked a lot for us and milk flow didn’t seem slower. It worked great the first time and then never worked as great again. We stopped using it. Jul 03, 2022

The most annoying bottle tops to clean. I wish these were better since they are compatible with my breast pump. May 11, 2022

It took my baby forever to get any milk out - which I thought was a good thing that she worked for it but my lactation consultant said they were no good and other brands were better Feb 13, 2022

These worked great for my first baby. This second one gags everytime we try to give them a bottle. Feb 04, 2022

My breastfed baby refused to use these, he had no idea how to latch. I think the concept of having to work to get the milk out out the bottle is great, but the shape need to be different Jan 19, 2022

My baby isn’t a fan of the nipple of this bottle. I only have one, don’t know if I would buy another. Definitely recommend the bottle for pumping sessions and the nipple is convenient to fit on bottle Jan 01, 2022

We have tried the Calma nipple with all 3 babies, and it just dumps milk all over them. We followed the directions, and it just never worked for us. Jan 26, 2021

Didn’t work for us. LO hated it and would gag/choke with the nipple. I used the bottles for pumping and storing breast milk though. Nov 07, 2020

This bottle seemed like a good solution for the breastfed baby but it really didn’t work that well for us. Sep 16, 2020

The nipple was too long. My daughter did not like and the price was expensive for one bottle. Apr 21, 2022

I bought this because my LO wouldn’t breastfeed. Although it is slow flow and LO needs to suck to get milk, she found a way around it. If milk splashed into the nipple it goes through- defeats purpose May 18, 2019

It's supposed to be slow-flow but for some (and for our newborn) it had the opposite effect of gushing out, resulting in a sputtering, gagging baby. Expensive too! Mar 18, 2019

I wanted to love this bottle. My baby will drink out of ANY bottle, and would not use this. It is way too difficult to suck from and the hard nipple does not imitate a natural nipple.. Regret buying. Mar 11, 2019

My baby gagged every time I tried to give it to her Oct 14, 2018

2nd bottle brand I have tried. Perfect for breastfeeding babies. Does not cause nipple confusion as nipple vacuum allows baby to suck only a small amount as during nursing. Worth the price. Oct 03, 2018

The nipple is way too huge for a baby younger than 6 months, and you have to suck quite hard to get any milk out Aug 31, 2018

We tried but did not like these. May 08, 2018

It was nearly impossible for my breastfed baby to express milk from this bottle ! May 03, 2018

Loved this for our baby with a tongue tie. Worked great to teach him how to suck effectively so he could go on to breastfeed. Our daughter would gag every time we tried to use it. Feb 09, 2018

There are a few parts but the design of this bottle is amazing! I use these for the infant I watch and these are great for pace feeding a breastfed baby! Nov 30, 2017

Bought it for my 2nd baby, he hated it never latched on, so it was a waste for me Nov 04, 2017

used these with my first and she latched fine but she had acid reflux so they didnt work very long for her specificly Sep 15, 2017

Love it! Did tons of research, i wanted my baby to take a bottle while i was at work and still latch onto me as well. He took to this nipple immediately and has had no problem latching onto me as well Aug 25, 2017

Too many components! Concept sounds great, but extremely hard for baby to grasp. Cleanup is quite the process and at the price point, is not affordable to have multiple nipples on hand. Aug 09, 2017

We bought this at the beginning when I was having to pump for a couple of days. She never got the hang of this, so it was a waste of money. It's a good idea though. Just wish it had worked out for us. Jul 26, 2017

I loved this because it was the only slow nipple that resembled nursing baby has to work for the milk and won't get lazy does have a few parts but worth it to fully breastfeed with lil bottle time Jun 29, 2017

I like that the baby can control the flow from these bottles. The nipples are expensive but I think they were worth it. Apr 09, 2017

We weren't crazy about these nipples. They were difficult to control and leaked often. Jan 01, 2017

Had to try every bottle to find one my breastfed baby would take. She tolerated that one but eventually found a better brand that she took to with gusto! Pretty expensive. Many parts to clean. Dec 02, 2016

I hated this nipple. It falls apart and leaks. I returned it. Nov 10, 2016

We tried this to help alleviate some fussiness after eating problems when transitioning to bottle... eh. It didn't seem to matter to my LO. Lots of parts. But not to hard to clean or reassemble. Oct 04, 2016

My son took this bottle from two weeks! This worked very well up until 4 months or so when he lost interest in all bottles.There were a few parts to clean, but it wasn't hard to put together. Jun 26, 2016

This is very difficult to put together and my daughter looked so awkward trying to use it. Feb 13, 2016

If you're a breastfeeding mom these are essential because they are the only bottle out there closest to breastfeeding so that baby doesn't get lazy. Dec 07, 2014

Takes some getting used to but baby really has to suck on this nipple just like on the breast to get milk out. Have only used this nipple to introduce bottle to baby. Helps to avoid nipple confusion Oct 28, 2014

A leaky mess!! It choked my baby it came out so fast. Oct 22, 2014

It was nice not worrying about switching up to the next nipple size. It sometimes clogs, so sometimes giving the bottle a gentle squeeze will get it working again. Jul 28, 2014

Extremely slow flow nipple. I used them to help get my baby converted from bottle to breast. The nipple was extra long and eventually my baby did not like this bottle. Jul 25, 2014

definitely more work for baby, but she got the hang of it after more use Jul 24, 2014
Fearful he would have trouble going from bottle to breast I got this. He did okay, but in the end didn't seem to be a huge fan of this nipple. Was really hard/awkward. Not worth the money. May 26, 2014

These are unfortunately a little pricey, but they are the absolute BEST! Feb 06, 2014
