Gulping when bottle feeding

My boy does this as well! It’s much easier for them to get it out of a bottle which I think is why - you could try a smaller, slow flow teat size on the bottle? That worked for us for a while until he started to get frustrated with it 😂 also if you hold the bottle more horizontal, they have to try harder so can’t gulp it in quite the same way x

Thank you we use size 1 teat on the Tommee tippe bottles - I have started to hold it more horizontal than I did with her sitting in an up right position (only the past couple of times this gulping sound has started) x

I’ve found the more my boy got used to a bottle the more he started guzzling when he realised he can get it quickly. I try paced feeding but found it hard to slow him down still. I’ve just switched to Philips natural response where they only get the milk when they suck and it’s a much better pace now also it keeps the milk in the teet so you don’t need to worry about horizontal feeding adding air.

Thank you! I will look into these bottles As the TT ones do leak even if they don’t suck so I think she doesn’t time doesn’t realised then it’s a shock then she swallow it then more come out 🙈z

Sorry to jump in here, but I went on Google to look at these Phillips bottles after reading this & came across this...

@Missy-Matrix it’s to do with heating the bottles and this actually happens with a lot of plastic bottles - they aren’t the only bottle provider facing this lawsuit and also the lawsuit is for not disclosing this risk rather than the fact it happens. Luckily I don’t heat my bottles as my LO likes prefers it straight out of the fridge 🤷‍♀️

@Abi Ah ok, thank you. I've never heated a bottle, only had minimal use of any but this is good to know, I have actually bought Nano Bebe silicone bottles to be used for ebm with my little one when the time comes for me to be away from him 😂 So I'll probably ditch the other plastic ones just incase 🙈
