My LO is 6m and on size 2 teats. Past few days she’s not interested in her milk, will only take a few oz. I wondered if she was tired of sucking and changed to a size 3 but she cries and a lot of milk dribbles out. She’s also suddenly not interested in her solids either, will only eat yoghurt or fruit.

We're still on two most of the time, she takes so long to feed but we try a three and the milk literally pours out of her mouth she can't keep up

I had this I got a Y cut teat from nano bebe and they’re amazing because the milk comes out at a pace according to how hard baby suckles x

Size 3 is a very fast flow compared to 2. My LO struggled too so I gave her morning feeds with size 3 & 2 alternating and then night feed with 2 only for first 3 days. By 3rd day she moved on to 3 for all feeds and drank much better x

Been on 3 since 4 months x

Still size 2 at 7 months

We’ve been on size 3 since 5 months

I think it could possibly just be an age thing , they get a little fussy around this age, as they start being more aware of what’s going on around them ! my little girl likes to take her bottle in a few different sittings for example there will be 7oz in a bottle and then she will take an oz and keep coming back to it various times within the hour sort of thing . I think Also the hot weather puts them off there food a lot ! It’s also takes a lot of getting used to , to solids ! Xx

My twins took a few feeds to get used to the size 3 but we just added a few ml extra to replace the lost dribble amounts and it was alright. Initially my boy found it too much but my girl was fine so then we gave it a short break and we came back to it the following week and he'd somehow gotten better - we carried on with the 3s thereafter for them both.

did they transition from mam teats to nano easily?

omg yes! That’s exactly the same, drinks few oz then just wants to look and touch everything then will drink another few oz 15mins later and so on but still doesn’t finish her bottles when before she would drain them all in one go

it’s not the first time I’ve tried the size 3 teats. I’ve been trying every few weeks for ages now but it’s always far too fast for her. She goes through phases she’s fussy with her milk but will drink it all eventually, this is just the first time she’s went days not drinking so much but yeah could be the heat 🤷🏽♀️ will keep trying

yeah absolutely fine, we eventually switched to the nano bottles too and she loved them because they’re squishy and she can feel when feeding x

My boy is almost 8 months old and still on size 2. If she’s gone off her food too maybe she’s teething? They go through these phases x
