How quixk does your baby take a bottle?

Yesterday i changed Zach to a teat 3 on his Mam bottles.

He went up to a teat 2, 2 weeks ago as his milk is a thicker one than normal & he seemed to take ages to have his milk

Teat 2 worked a treat & now that im using gaviscon again it makes the milk thicker the past few days he ends up sucking the teat lie a dummy & taking ages to do a feed.......

So yesterday on a teat 3 he seemed to cain the milk, i wind him on every ounce & he was drinking a once within about 5 seconds it goes really quick. He drinks a 4oz bottle in about 15 mins & that includes winding him as well

If i didnt wind him i think that he would do the bottle in about a min & half..... I feel that is drinking it to fast, although he is not struggling with it, it does not all come out of his mouth, He seems settled & content after the bottle & is not crying after i stop at every ounce to wind him.......

I just feel though that the whole thing from start to finish with the bottle & winding just seems to quick??

He is 3 weeks??

My little girl is 5 weeks and it takes about an hour to drink, this is stopping and starting. shes on size 1 so maybe I should change but to be honest shes happy and I think she just likes to take her time. This is not good in the night though.

Not necessarily no Zach use to keep sucking it like a dummy & ended up falling asleep the past few days as he wasnt getting anywhere with it & the milk was hardly moving

Tha sounds like Tyler. He has fallen asleep on the bottle a few times today and he also sucks it like a dummy at times too. Perhaps a should try a size 2 teat?

Fran polishes a 7/8oz bottle off in 10mins lol!!

She was 7weeks old when we changed her onto size 2teats because she was taking up to an hour to finish a feed and would often fall asleep because it took so much energy trying to get the milk out. It took her about a week to get used to the faster flow - milk dribbled everywhere lol - but it made all the difference.

Makes life a lot easier at night too because she is fed and back in bed asleep in about 15 mins!!!
