Guest Pizaz Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 I just got an adult nipple for my bottle, but it came without any holes. I've been trying safety pins and thumbtacks, but the latex seems to just swarm around those and close them off. What's the best method yall have for increasing the number/size of bottle holes? Thanks. Link to comment
BriGuy Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Just poke a hole in it with a needle. If it doesn't flow enough open the hole up. Link to comment
Loveable_guy Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 A small drill bit in a hand twist drill works best, start with a 1/32" bit. A good hardware or hobby shop will have the tools. Link to comment
Guest YkDave Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Heat the needle up and poke it through, that way it melts the rubber rather than just 'pushing it aside' Thats how i did mine and it works like a charm... Link to comment
Sophie ♥ Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 I like the baby bottle flow. It can be irritating but it keeps me from getting a tummy ache by drinking too fast. -Sophie Link to comment
willnotwill Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 I usually use whatever's handy. An xacto or similar sharp knife works best. Link to comment
diaperpt Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 all suggestions sound like they'll work...obviously start small...once you've got hole(s) that are too big, you've got a problem. I've done the sewing needle approach successfully...I'd start there with heating it first. Link to comment
baby-tommy Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 heat up a needle and poke it Link to comment
Guest Pizaz Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Thanks for all the advice. I was able to get a decent hole out if, but now I'm dealing with the nipple collapsing. I don't think the hole is too big, but could that be causing it? I also read somewhere that nipple collapse is caused by not enough air getting in... maybe a looser screw on the ring? Stupid bottles... too complicated for babies like me. Link to comment
