Hi
My premie came home 2 days ago and we were having trouble feeding her from the bottle. I have twins so I am trying to make sure they get fed enough.

We found out that she was unable to suck from the Avent bottle that we had, and when I took a nipple from the hospital, the one she was used to...it worked like a charm.
So I am wondering if anyone knows where to get PREMATUREN-SPEEN nipples or bottles in Dubai? These are the ones that AlWasl uses in their NICU.

I have also been recommended NUK teats. I will try those out too.

Any other advice or suggestions?

I have about 10 preemie dr. brown teats. Sterilised and put up. Free if you want.

Also how about Dr. Brown's Preemie nipples? I am more than happy to order them online for you if you don't have a shop and ship account. They will take about a week to ten days to arrive... http://www.amazon.com/Dr-Browns-Natural-Preemie-Standard/dp/B000096QK4/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top

Tania, they may be disposable, but I checked with a lactation consultant and it's okay to reuse as long as they're sterilised. I found that you can reuse the disposable latex teats many more times if they are cold sterilised i.e. in a milton sterlising solution rather than heat sterilised. It seems the heat damages them more quickly.

I think I may have some stashed somewhere from when DS was in hospital - will check tomorrow and let you know. They're the single use one's and you're welcome to them if I can find them!
