when to change teat size?

I always went by if my son sucked the teat in on itself and didn't dribble any milk then it was time to move up

thank you, I think I’ll try it on his next feed x

You don’t actually need to change teat size. My 7 monther is still on preemie teats. You could try a vented bottle so you don’t get a vacuum

I find that the mam bottles you have to change the teat a lot faster than other brand bottles! But if you think your baby is taking too long to drink, then give teat 2 a try

Try teat 2, nothing to loose. We have been on teat 2 since 4 weeks and we’re now 7lo the still on teat2

I tried the number 2 teat and it made my baby really gassy and upset. We've gone back to 1 and although he's slow to finish his milk, the gassiness and screams have gone. I choose slow!

We use vari-flow teats and wish I had done since birth! It goes by babies own suction, we just paced our daughter when first on as she is so greedy and would get lots of spit up if we left her to it, sometimes spewing up the whole bottle, she's so used to it now that we just leave her to but she is 9 months now!

I tried my little one on teat 2 size around 5 weeks old as it was taking her ages to feed as well. However I personally found the teat 2 size too fast for her so we reverted back and she's naturally become a bit quicker to feed as time has gone on. It's worth trying though! Xx

My little boy is 6 weeks and I’ve just changed to the variflow teats and it’s been the best thing for him!

He was taking soo long to finish his bottles and was getting tired because he was having to suck so hard he just started refusing to finish them so was hungry! 😭

I looked at the tommee tippee website and they said if it takes longer than 20mins to finish a bottle it’s time to move up a size! X

Thanks everyone! He’s had 2 feeds on size 2 now and so far so good ! X

I stayed on size 1 until she was going on and off the bottle (essentially getting bored) and then I had to increase flow for her so she could drink faster

If you already have the size up and rekon your baby is struggling to drink from it then use the size 2 teat and see how it goes. If it's too fast then stick to size 1.
