About the mL/min data: Lab-measured flow rates are from Pados BF et al., "Milk flow rates from bottle nipples used after hospital discharge," Nursing for Women's Health 2016 (PMC5033656). 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.
