I'm Currently Feeling:  | Moving up a teat number early!
Ok after a couple of weeks HV suggested moving Caitlin up a teat as she was poss a lazy drinker - this helped so when she got use to the sucking we changed her back which appeared to work but now OH wants to move her back to teat 2. We tried avent teat 2 and Tommee teat 2 when we first did this at a couple of weeks old and found the Tommee teat 2 faster flow but now shes 2 months (in 2 days) she may be ok with that?
Tommee teat 2 says 3 months - you think this will be ok? Did anyone else use teat 2 earlier? See Avent teat 2 says 1mnth+ Tommee 3mnth+  We're using Tommee teats! Caitlin is still not taking more than 3oz 4oz when we lucky and she appears lately to struggle getting past 2oz! |

I'm Currently Feeling: | I think she may be struggling  OH seems to think that she gets tired of sucking on her bottle. Surely she should be taking more than 3oz now? Its getting tiring that she needs a bottle every 3 hours literally so if we give her a bottle at 12 takes an hour to feed & burp then at 3 she wants another - poss wakes before that. |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | I used Vari flow teats with both of mine, they can suck has hard or slow as they like with them
sometimes it is just trial and error |

I'm Currently Feeling: | I dIdn't direct you to Disney stuff!!!
I know its stll based on the sucking action but she might suck quick to begin with and slow down
With Slow teats she won't get enough to bgin with and with fast will get too much when she wants to slow down
does that make sense?
Basically with these she can control the flow |
