Teat sizes

[Lucy_lu_84]

Bit confused tbh ...we are still using size 1's. We've only been bottle feeding for just over a month tho.
Should I change them ? How do I know when to go to the next size?

I knew to change Josh because he became frustrated having to get his milk out faster out the slower teats, If he seems happy enough for now I would just leave him

Are you still giving him any breastfeeds? If so you might not want to change teats as he may become frustrated with the slow flow of milk when BF. But if he's excl FF, then yeah, change is he is becoming frustrated or starting to leave a lot of milk...

Thanks girls!
No he's exclusively FF now thats why I was wondering. He doesn't seem to be getting frustrated yet, so will leave it for now

If the teats start collapsing, you'll need to move up a stage too

we moved Rebecca to variflow teats when she was 7 weeks old as she kept falling asleep during her bottles as the flow was just too slow for her.
Now she is on the number 2 she stays awake and finishes her bottles!

Oliver is on size 2 TT CTN teats. He has been since he was only a few weeks as the milk was coming out too slow for him. He was 10lb5 born and is a guzzler. Him having to suck harder gave him terrible wind. He is happy on the size 2s
