Miracle Nipple Original, Pack of 2, with Miracle Brand O-Ring 3 ml Syringe

Definitely a miracle! I wish this wasn’t so expensive, but man did it make feeding time go faster with these baby squirrels:)

I'm going to copy/ paste some from my review of the miracle nipple syringes because a lot applies: I am newish to fostering kittens and I agreed to take in a case of a mom with 2 week old kittens. I've had older kittens but usually mom can handle everything so I wasn't expecting to need to do much. Aaaaand then the foster coordinator actually picked them all up and realized the poor condition everyone was in. Mom was starved and had SEVEN babies! One was so small we were afraid she wouldn't last the day. So I binged Kitten Lady's instructions and learned neonate kitten care WAYYY before I ever thought I would dip my toes in. I supplemented formula for the smallest babies and everyone is healthy and thriving and just now the little "runt" Pumpkin is big enough so everyone can get their spay/neuter and be adopted! All that is to say this was recommended to me as the "gold standard" and two months later I finally remember to write this review. I had a few other brands I used in a pinch and these are definitely the best. One important thing with kittens is they can aspirate SO easily. so with syringe feeding you need to go very slow and smooth. And having a good nipple to latch on with means the kitten can do most of the work. My kittens would NOT latch on to any other style of nipple and these come with the hole ready vs having to guess and cut yourself. The miracle nipple and miracle nipple mini are really the only nipples that I could get to work for these kittens, they are WORTH the price. They last a decentlt long time as long as you wash well with warm soapy water and rinse well. I'd wash the whole thing with a soapy sponge then use a clean syringe to push soapy then clean water through the opening a few times. They are designed like a cats nipple so they are more natural and you don't have to worry about cutting the hole yourself and making it too big or small. I mainly used the original size but I think mini would be good for smaller week old kittens. I definitely recommend the Miracle brand syringes if you're syringe feeding, they are way better and less sticky/ jumpy even after a couple washes and reused. Much less chance of a kitten aspirating formula. Those first few weeks were the scariest of my life but now I've realized I'm in love with neonate kitten care and am now ready to start with orphaned kittens. I definitely credit these for helping me save these babies lives. Myself, Mama Cheesecake Factory (or Chef for short), Peanut Butter Cup, Graham Cracker, Tiramisu, Pumpkin, S'mores Galore, Lemon Meringue, and Breadstick all thank Miracle Nipple lol

Exactly the items needed--they work quite well for my baby squirrels.

I am a wildlife rehabber and as far as I’m concerned, the miracle nipple is a MUST HAVE! Other nipples leak, they allow for sucking too much formula at once which can make a baby choke. Miracle nipples slow down the sucking so they get nice even amounts of formula with little or no choking or coming out their nose. Aspiration is the no1 killer of baby animals, and miracle nipples are the best solution I’ve found to avoid that. They are expensive, but they are great quality, material and value for the money. Don’t get caught up buying the cheaper versions, THEY DONT WORK! I e always had great luck and wouldn’t use anything else.

After taking in a litter of 3 orphan kittens at 2 weeks old, I was convinced they would all die. None of them would latch on to the kitten bottle I got to actually suckle, and I couldn't get them to take much more than 5 milliliters of formula per feeding between the 3 of them. At about 4 am the first night I had the kittens, I did some desperate googling and ordered these nipples and 2 different tube feeding kits. I never had to use the tube feeding kits. These nipples were so easy to use! I was able to dribble in the formula slowly even when the kittens wouldn't truly suckle, and it was easy to measure how much formula each kitten was actually getting. (Of course, you do have to be careful to go slow if you're dribbling it in yourself so that the kittens have time to swallow without aspirating.) By the second day, two of the kittens were actually sucking the formula out of the syringe themselves - the nipple size/shape was perfect. I got some additional luer-lock syringes from my vet in various sizes as they grew, and eventually we were using 20 mL syringes instead of the 3 mL ones this kit comes with. All three kittens thrived once we started using these nipples, and they're now 10 weeks old! The nipples were very durable and lasted through the 4 weeks that I had to use them. I did buy 4 nipples so each kitten had one (plus a spare). They were also easy to clean - I would shoot a syringe of hot water through, then two syringes of soapy water, then another of clean water to rinse. If you have taken on the potentially heart-breaking task of bottle feeding kittens, you need these nipples!!!

OK, this is for any other dense people out there like me. LOL After I got these, they did not fit my pet nurser bottle by Pet Ag. So, now what? Most of the reviews, I read anyway talked about 3ml syringes, and so on. Well my kittens are now pushing 3 weeks old, and are onto the 20 and 35 ML syringes, so now what I thought. I thought it had to go on like on a baby bottle, little did I know this would fit the larger syringes, by just slipping it over the point of the syringe. Dha! Works good for me now, and my kitty's are liking it better than that hard ole plastic end, although I have raised lots of kittens on that too. But, now that I know how to work these, it will be much better. Better instructions you be said about using it on more than just a 3ML or 5 ML syringe, for dummy's like me. :) Fits the large one also, very well! Wish they were a bit shorter, sometimes the kittens kinda of gag. Mama's nipples aren't this long!!! LOL

Rescued a bottle baby - she refused nearly every nippled we could find, I was afraid we were going to lose her. Someone lent me one of these, she latched immediatly. Ordered these for that friend as a thank you and a replacement.

This is a newborn kitten must have! Saved so much stress and time. Once they latch it’s great! Don’t waste your money on other bottles.

The Miracle Nipple was so easy to use to feed newborn baby bunnies. It comes with one syringe and two nipples. I probably would have liked another syringe included in the pack. Overall I was very happy with the product.
