Teat Sizes

So, if they’re collapsing the teat or falling asleep on the bottle then size up. If not then you’re probably fine on the size 1 :)

We use lansinoh slow and still breastfeed too

We’ve had to change our baby’s teat size a couple of times now, we find she gets fussy or looses interest mid feed & then changed the teat and it’s much better!
She is also nearly 6 months and on teat 3 now however has always been formula fed so start off on 1 and see how you go, hope that helps x

I started on size 1 and my baby was becoming frustrated and wasn’t finishing the bottles, we now use size 3 and it works fine. I think it’s gonna be trial and error as every woman has a different flow so whatever the baby is used to

I started on size 0 teat MAM bottles which I wish I stayed on as was combi feeding. I moved up to 1 then 2 and baby got bottle preference because it comes out so much faster and easier than breast so they advise to stay on the smallest teat if you are breastfeeding as well x

thank you. Neither of those are happening so sounds like we're good!

we'll stick with size 1 for now, thank you! X

thank you, seems like we're good with size 1 for now still x

ah ok so he is becoming frustrated and isn't finishing them but he's also becoming frustrated and not having full feeds on the boob so I think that's due to his reflux and teething rather than the bottle, but that's something to consider. I might try him on a bigger teat in that case and see if it helps. I do have a bit of an overpowering let down, but I don't really want to replicate that as that can cause him problems.

ah great, that's really useful to know, thank you! I don't want it too fast either as he's already really chokey so trying to minimise that for him x
