The 9 week old baby I nanny for is having some bottle issues.
He was breast fed then mixed fed and now is formula only. He is 9 weeks and still using the bottles from the hospital but the flow rate is so slow he's getting frustrated whilst feeding and gives up to go to sleep mid feed which is making him not sleep well in the nights. I've tried tommee tippee bottles but he just makes a mess of milk with those, same with avent bottles - he seems to drink a lot but then there is SO much spilling I'm using two muslins per feed to try and keep his clothes dry! Any advice for a different bottle? It seems that he can't take the nipple shaped ones as he treats them as a nipple then makes a mess of it
