These nipples leak... BUT *read for a good tip on how to prevent leaks
I have used Dr. Browns for my son since he was born- I love them and will use them again for my next child (well, we switched from Playtex early on). I have a little technique to stop the bottles from leaking- which they tend to do a lot if the milk goes up the center straw. But for some reason these new nipples a leaking ALL THE TIME. :o(
**TECHNIQUE TO STOP BOTTLES FROM LEAKING**
-connect blue straw and white rubber stopper. make sure its tight
-pull nipple through twist cap- tug on end of nipple to make sure it is fully through
-pour milk in
-insert blue straw and white rubber stopper
-HERES THE TRICK: before you twist on the cap and nipple, squeeze the bottle. Keep it squeezed until the nipple is just about to tighten fully on the bottle. Then relieve pressure on the bottle at the exact moment the nipple gets tight.
-check to make sure no milk is inside (or slowly rising up) the blue straw. The pressure prevents milk from going up the blue straw and causing a leak.
