Greetings,
Many times the newborns we voluntarily foster, from birth-to-adoption, arrive premature. Often this means that their small palates are stiil a bit shallow and the length of those standard, softer/red Premmie nipples "gag" these tiny ones.
Does anyone out there know where I can obtain SHORTER, soft nipples which still fit onto the standard-size bottle opening? Until the babies can suck strongly enough for a 6oz bottle, I mostly use the 3oz. glass bottle size which does also have the normal-width opening.
Also, can anyone tell me where to get the standard, old-styl bottle "plugs" that fit to seal a closed bottle?
--Thanks Bunches! David & Lolly
