What nipple flow do I start with?

Slow flow, often labeled stage 1 or newborn, until the baby is feeding well and not getting frustrated. Sizes go up roughly with months, but baby cues come first.

Glass, plastic, or silicone?

Silicone is light, unbreakable, and BPA-free. Glass is the most inert and easiest to deep-clean. Plastic is the cheapest; pick a brand that lists every additive on the label.
