Miracle Nipple Syringe Included, Mini - 10 Pack

Original miracle nipples are the best product. Beware of knock off brands.

I am the neonate care provider for our local shelter and these nipples have been a blessing! I have been doing this for 45 years now and was so excited to find these! Kittens, puppies, wildlife latch on so quickly without any fuss or problems! Thank you for your wonderful product!

I know this is a long review but if you're on the fence about buying (I know they're not cheap) please read on to see why I really REALLY recommend these.If you're reading this review and don't need a lot of convincing, click add to cart and buy them. Right now.Over the last # of years I've easily had 40+ orphaned babies (kittens) that I've bottle fed.I have used a lot of the available products (which are not high in number) and out of all of them I would give these little guys 1000 stars if I could. Bottle babies are already at a disadvantage not having mom and her milk, and trying to get them to eat is often a challenge.These are fantastic for the following reasons:1. The wide, low, flat base and small tapered nipple is so much closer to what they'd have with mom. The typical "kit" bottle nipples are just mini versions of human bottle nipples, which are made specifically for how human babies nurse. These are made with the idea of nursing mammals and keeps their physiology in mind2. This is a HUGE one for me; these are PRE-PUNCTURED.If you've ever used the :small animal" bottle kits they come with unpunctured nipples. They give you instructions to "poke a hole" like it's as simple as 1+1=2. In reality you are actually dealing with quantum mechanics and 1+1= the square root of purple cow. No matter what you poke the hole with (needle, hot paperclip, razor blade, steak knife, ice pick, hammer & nail, industrial laser, etc...) you end up with a nipple that either they can't suck on hard enough to get milk out of or you're drowning them in it.These little pre-punched holes seem to be pretty consistently a good size for the littlest of littles to the "almost eating real food" kittens.PRE.PUNCTURED.NIPPLES people.Worth every penny you pay for them.3. With some patience and nipple squishing skills you can put these bad boys in the ring for the small animal bottles that come in the aforementioned kit. Personally I really like this bc you have the advantage of the bottle volume coupled with the awesomeness of this nipple.This package came with a syringe that's made for these nipples but my foster kittens and I struggled with it. They couldn't suck quite hard enough to move the plunger and I'm so afraid of them aspirating I didnt want to compress the plunger for them. It probably is a great item if you can make it work for you, I just couldn't get it to work for me4. I have yet to have a bottle baby that has refused this nipple or struggled with it. We had immediate and full success (which if you've done much fostering you know is not something you see often). Obviously this will not be a fix-all for poor feeders but it at least takes away one more barrier5. They're easy to clean and don't tend to clog like your "self punched" nipples from the kits. If you use a plastic ring from a bottle kit I would definitely make sure to take the nipple out each time to sterilize both pieces because it fits very snugly against the plastic ring and they don't always get completely clean when they're left together6. They are pretty dang durable. As littles start getting teeth the other nipples seem to get bitten through pretty easily. I'm guessing the shape of this nipple coupled with the low/flat base help avoid this issue (or maybe it's dark magic, I dont know). My last orphaned litter had 5 babies and I rotated through three nipples between cleaning/feeding. Not one of them looks like they've been used hardly at all and will all be used again for x# of litters to come. Believe me, I washed these things and sterilized them HUNDREDS of times with frequent feedings and lots of babies and they still look like I just took them out of the packageIn summary: Buy these. Buy them now. Use them to feed the littles. Rejoice happily at the excellent purchase you made.

I foster bottle baby kittens and these nipples make the experience a game changer. It is extremely easy for the babies to latch on. The nipples are very durable.

Nice item, as advertised... but very overpriced.

Great nipples and syringes. Wish they would give a larger syringe though.

We bought these for our three kitten, one brother and two sisters. We got the at 5 days old and had problems feeding them until we received these nipples. What a huge game changer! They fit perfectly on the end of the syringes and were easy to use and clean. Our three babies are 5 months old, healthy and thriving. Thank goodness for Miracle Nipples!

Excellent for my Sphynx kittens at birth
