I think this shape is much better than a traditional bottle nipple, they are not just for babies who can and do latch wide, but also for babies who need support with a wide latch. I’d say if you are combo feeding bottle and breast, this shape is much better! It feels much more like the shape of a breast and my baby easily transfers between the two. I noticed a huge difference in his latch on the breast when I swapped the nipples on his bottles for these wide ones. They’re a must-get!
