Milk flow, or the rate of milk transfer from the bottle to the mouth during feeding, differs from baby to baby…even at the same ages! A newborn can have a strong verses a weaker suck and good or poor coordination of that suck with breathing and swallowing. This can make finding the right flow rate confusing and frustrating. Based on skills and not age, the Dru Feeding System™ takes the guess-work out of the process and provides a consistent experience for babies of all ages.

All nine flow rates of the Dru Feeding System™ nipples are custom designed for baby’s individual skill set. It is a common myth that all babies go from a slow flow nipple to faster flows with maturity. The Dru Feeding System™’s incremental increase in flow rate is designed to meet every baby where they are in development, no matter the age. A preemie is usually born with a consistently strong reflexive suck and therefore needs a slower flow rate for breathing and swallowing. The precision of each nipple delivers a consistent flow rate, allowing the same flow rate every time. Remarkable!

The Dru Feeding System™ (patented design) nipples feel and look like Mom’s natural breast, with asymmetrical distribution, non-uniform bumps, and a wide base. The pacifier shares the identical shape and texture, as does the original design of the medicine dispenser. There is no transition from shapes and textures in any of Dru’s products, which greatly increases baby’s acceptance and success. Whether you’re feeding, soothing with a pacifier, or providing needed medicine, your baby’s experience is consistent and comforting, increasing bonding and reducing stress.

New parents have so many choices; finding the best feeding system shouldn’t be stressful. Instead of strict age guidelines, Dru’s nine nipple system works with your baby’s needs. If there is ever a question about which flow rate to choose, the Dru Feeding System™ provides comprehensive online education and support on an informative and interactive website and app. This takes confusion out of choosing the right system for your own unique baby. If these resources don’t lead to success, a skilled professional will be available for consultation to lead you to the most positive experience possible. Dru Feeding System™ provides more support services than any other brand.
