Test size

Our little one is 8 weeks and has severe reflux we’ve just gone up to size 1 teats because he was clicking on the size 0 too. We have to pace the feed so he doesn’t gulp, there’s good advice on the NHS on how to do this but if you google paced feeding it’ll give you lots of tips 💙

If baby is dribbling lots of milk out the sides the teat flow is probably too fast, babies can take a week or so to adjust to a new size apparently, and checking the latch is key as well, brushing teat on the top lip then aiming up towards roof of mouth the same way you would if breast feeding.

I’m no expert but these are all things to try and that have helped us even with bad reflux x

I have mam bottles and brought two of teats in the next size up to see what my daughter would make of them and shes great with them so I am moving her up but we just the bigger size for a week alongside the old teats to see the difference and for her to get use to them, she really goes for it on the smaller size like the milk isn't coming out fast enough but the bigger one is so much smoother

From what I remember with my son it takes a good couple of weeks when transitioning teat size. I used to start the feed off with a smaller teat then would swap to a larger one when he started slowing down/getting tired. Was a bit of a faff but helped him get used to it
