Data sources
Lab-measured flow rates:
- Pados BF, Park J, Thoyre SM, Estrem H, Nix WB. "Milk flow rates from bottle nipples used after hospital discharge." Nursing for Women's Health. 2016;20(2):196–203. PMC5033656
Methodology: Testing used standardized 180 mmHg suction on 10 nipples per type. Flow rates that appear labeled "slow" across different brands can range from 1.68 to 15+ mL/min — a 9× difference. Entries without lab data show manufacturer flow labels only.
