Can anyone give me some good tips about how to get a decent hole in the
nipple of the AG nursing bottle? I've tried hot needles, picture
hanging nails, and then some other kind of nail. Still the formula
won't go through. I put the nail through and sat the nipple in boiling
water so it wouldn't "heal" but still the hole is just too tiny. How do
y'all make those holes? Thanks!

A hot nail through the nipple should be more than sufficient. Maybe your
formula is too thick? I've raised many babes with just a needle hole.

Use the pin on a corn-on-the-cob holder.

I usually take a tiny pair of scissors (like embroidery scissors) and make a
small cross cut in the end of the nipple. Then I start cutting away bits of
one of the points I made until I get a hole the size I want.
