Changing to next stage teats?

[geordiemoo]

I know I've done this before but can't remember. When would you change to next size teats, what would you say are signs baby is ready for them. I'm wondering if we are at that point, I'm using MAM bottles with size 1 teats currently but dd is taking at least an hour per bottle and keeps falling asleep during them, she's also taking ages getting wind up. I'm wondering if it's all too slow for her. The only thing thing that's holding me back from trying straight away is that she can be quite sicky and I don't want to make that worse. Any advice?

I changed my dd to the second stage at about 7 weeks. She was really fussing and taking ages to feed and getting angry. She took to the second stage no bother x

LO was 6 weeks when we swapped. She was taking ages to finish her bottles and kept falling asleep while taking them but would be really unsettled as she was obviously still hungry. She also needed her bottles more frequently as she wasn't finishing them and I could see she was frustrated during feeds.

If your LO is quite sicky I'd maybe just try stopping her to wind more often when you first switch just until she gets used to them?
