How do you check for blockages? Clear the teats?
They shouldn't block. Have you got the anti-colic ones? I just put a little dishwash liquid in mine (I have used Nuk for months but wash all my teats the same way) and scrub the silicone together under hot running water. I just run my finger though the teat afterwards to wash out any missed soap and to remove any milk lumps that may be left behind before I sterilize. It could be the size is too small for your baby and you need to buy a faster flow for him. As they get older, because they suck harder the teats seem to collapse during feeding so I say that is more the issue. DS1 was on fast flow from 1 week because he just got so shitty with it taking him 15-20 minutes to finish a bottle. He drowned a couple of times with the fast flow but he figured it out pretty fast.
