Thick Feed
Flow Y
This nipple is designed for thickened or
concentrated formula.
Flow Y is generally
best for:
→ Thickened or anti-re昀氀ux formulas
→ Occasionally for expressed milk with added
formula (if medically indicated)
→ Typically with healthcare guidance
What makes it
di昀昀erent:
→ Y-shaped cut instead of a round hole
→ Variable 昀氀ow based on e昀昀ort from baby
→ More control with thicker feeds
A common challenge
with Flow Y:
→ Families who introduce liquid cereal in a bottle
before an infant is developmentally ready.
→ Families who use a non-thickened formula in a
Y bottle, and their baby will often gag or choke
because the 昀氀ow is too quick.
