I registered for the Avent Natural Bottles - 4 oz and 9 oz. I saw on the package that the 4 oz nipples have 1 hole and the 9 oz nipples have 2 holes. The package said 1 hole is NB, 2 holes is 1 month+, 3 holes is 3 months+, and 4 holes is 6 months+. Should I register for the nipples that have 3 holes then?
Are you planning on trying to bf? I would wait on larger bottles and nipples then. We are at 6.5 months and haven't used larger than 4oz bottles with slow flow nipples.

We will likely stay at newborn flow. I bought a few packs of the 9oz in prep for him starting daycare and he hated the nipples, so I went back to newborn. I ended up having to buy more newborn nipples and I now have an used collection of 2's.

We used Avent Naturals.
We used #1 for a few months and then #2's. We never made it to any other size. I wouldn't stock up on anything...follow the baby's lead on this. I do really like these bottles
I would just get the 9oz bottles and buy some #1 nipples. We EFFd and I only used the 4 oz bottles for a few months because my kid is a pig. The #2 nipples worked fine after I switched from the #1 around 3 or 4 months.

This. I have 5 small and 5 large. I wish I had just gotten all of the 9 oz, since they're $10 a piece (we use glass.)
i exclusively ff. we used 1 for a long time, like almost 6 months. we used 2s until 8ish months and are still on 3s.
regardless of ff or bf, start with1. it's slower which means baby works for their food. if youre bf it will mimic that, and if youre ff it will help baby pace.

This. I didn't love to big bottles until we started milk at 13 months. Dr browns have been our favorite. Ds would scrunch the nipples of the advent naturals in his mouth then scream because the nipple collapsed whi
