Changing teat size

weebubbles · Aug 30th, 2009, 10:23 AM

Hi, my son uses the NUK bottle and teats. The HV has told me to change to the next teat size so that he gets his milk easier and doesnt get tired as much. My only worry is that the next teat size is 6 to 12 months, he is 8 weeks and the teats he uses is 0 to 6 months.

Has anyone else had to change the teat size too early? and did it work?

HIya,

I use Dr Browns, and I brought bigger teats for the same reason. The milk comes out so fast is was chking Lilah, so we stopped using them (well, we only tried that once!)

If you do try bigger teats, just get a pack of 2 just in case you have the same probs

Good luck xx
