Why does she dribble so much milk with the bottle?

[Miss_Bump]

Poor Evie is soaked bless her. We want to breast and bottle feed but with each bottle feed its just goes everywhere!! We have tried both vari and slow flow teats but she still just makes most of it dribble out of her mouth and down her top and we have to stop after about 20 seconds of feeding then start again

Is there a certain way to bottle feed?

It could just be that the flow is different to when she is BF (although I know you are trying different teats). Maybe take it reeally slow until she gets the hang of it - just a few secs at a time.

Are you putting the whole thin part of the teat in her mouth? The first time I bottle fed, I just put the tip in Evan's mouth, and it was a disaster!

There is a bottle you can get (it's designed to prevent colic I think) that has a very slow flow, but I don't know what it's called - I'm sure someone can help. It's yellow and has a plunger thing inside it.
