Latex Nipples for Avent Bottles

So we've been using avent without issues to get LO ready for when I go back to work (he is EBF).  This week, my mom has been coming to practice getting LO used to bottles all day (she'll be staying home with him when I go back to work) and for some reason he won't take them.  We tried a playtex drop in bottle with a latex nipple and he sucked it down like no tomorrow.  We have a TON of avent bottles that can't be returned, so I was wondering if anyone had found a different brand latex nipple that fits avent.  Avent doesn't make a latex nipple.  We were opposed to these in the beginning since they can't be put in the dishwasher, but a happy LO is a happy mommy :c)

  • It may be the shape, not the latex. You may just not be able to use the Avent. I didn't want to use Avent but thats what my LO does best with so yeh.

  • I gave in and bought the playtex bottles tonight with some extra latex nipples (they don't sell them that way) and he did fine with the silicone, so you were absolutely correct (they are shaped much different) -- are you local to the Chicagoland area, I have some avents I'm trying to unload lol
