I've been looking for them but the ones I've found are the same size as regular nipples the only thing that changes is the flow ..I need ones that are actually smaller in size because regular ones are too long ...does any one know where I could find them?
thank you.

We got ours from the hospital. They were very happy to give us handfuls of the disposable nipples. Although considered disposable, we just washed and re-used them. They worked great.
Call your doctor and tell him/her that you are having trouble finding nipples. Since the baby is used to the ones from the hospital, ask specifically for those. I can't imagine there would be a problem. If you had a good relationship with the nurses in the NICU, go there and ask for some of the disposable preemie nipples.

Walmart carried them... however my sons only liked the hospital ones... and the hospital gave us tons of them! Being a premie they want that baby to eat all they can... to get up to that normal size.

Go to Babies R Us or a baby store. Or you can google it and youll find a wide variety of online stores that will have them.

Contact the NICU. That's what we did for our daughter. I'm sorry that you're having trouble finding them, but I did too when my daughter came home from the NICU.

I had the same prob. Go to the hospital where the baby was born they usually have them.

Ask your midwife or lactation counsellor. They would have a better idea, and certainly more experience in the matter.
