Teat sizes

AC81 · Mar 8th, 2009, 17:12 PM

I'm starting to move Erin to formula feeding and I've noticed she's getting a bit frustrated with what I assume is the flow from the teat. I'm using size 1's (slow flow) should I be using a bigger teat? Like variflow ones? I'm using the Tommee Tippee CTN bottles - any recommendations on what size I should be using?

We moved to CTN vari-flow around 2 1/2 months.
I bought a pack of both vari-flow and size 2's. Vari worked better for us, though it did take a while for Aidan to get used to it and stop sucking so hard. We'd go through a ton of bibs and muslin's..lol.

Sorry no advice really, this is just how we did the change over.

I had to move Lexie onto the size 2 teats at 3 weeks old! She was conctantly falling asleep from having to suck so hard! I do have both the size 2 and vari-flow teats. I find that the vari-flow work better for us but she does make more mess! At least with the vari-flow teats they grow with your LO and means that you don't have to buy size 2 and then size 3's! xx
