When to size up baby bottle for newborn

I have the MAM starter bottles the first size which is smallest on the left - can someone walk me through when roughly I size up to the next ML at what age? I know it depends on baby but just to get a rough idea. (I’ve also read about changing teets?) Thank you xx

6 month old - MAM teats?

6 month old isn’t drinking more than 2 ounces without messing with the teat. He’s currently on the 4+ month teats (fast flow) I seen there is a 6 month plus teat but it says “ideal for thicker liquids” Should I be sizing up?

Formula - night feeds

Is anyone else’s formula fed baby still wanting a feed in the night every 3 hours??? I know breastfeed babies want feeding regularly but my boy has 5, 6oz bottles in the day and is still wanting 2 or 3 in the night. Just seems excessive?

Feeding time

I know this may be a dumb to question as I’m 4 months in and haven’t had any trouble so far but how do you time your kids feedings? Do you time it when they start the bottle or end?

How much milk is your 9 month old drinking?

Mine has gone down from 4 bottles a day, 40 oz a day (doctor approved) to 20-24oz 2-3 bottles a day. Today, I gave him one bottle in the morning and one in the evening. He also had two meal times. How is your little one doing?
