bottle nipples

When did you know to move up to next size nipple flow? Right now the girls are still using the slow flow nipples. I can't really remember when I switched with the other three. I just remember with my oldest daughter I switched fairly quickly. The twins are seven weeks tomorrow. Sometimes A will suck the nipple and it will be flat. She is such a pokie eater too. I am wondering if the next stage would be good. I guess I will just buy them and find out. I was curious when everyone else switched.

 

Hmmm..I would switch it seems. I don't remember when we switched. I think when they were just taking f.o.r.e.v.e.r to eat! If she's making the nipple flat, she may be ready to go up. I do know that when we did get new nipples, and they would choke, that was the sign they weren't ready! So if that was the case, we either waited, or we held the bottle at an angle so they weren't getting it all at once-and slowly they adjusted to the flow.

All of my kids were pokey eaters. Drove me bonkers!

 

sounds like it might be time. I think we didn't pay attention and didn't switch until next level until maybe 4 months old. Then, this last time, we noticed that Sam was having a tough time with teething and we went to the 3rd level... they're 9 months old. Both times we probably could have switched much sooner.

 

We switched when it seemed like they were taking a long time to eat and started fussing because of it. I don't remember when it was exactly but they were a couple months older than the age they suggest they move to the second level.

 

My girls will be 4 months this week and we just switched over to level 2 on the Dr Browns nipple. They are able to eat a bit faster which is nice when you got 2 to feed ! The girls seem a bit happier as well... I just hope this allows them to eat a bit more and spread out their feedings.

 

We switched when it seemed like it was taking them a long time and/or they were getting frustrated. There is nothing wrong with testing the next size up. If it's too fast, you will know quickly.

 

Well I tried the next nipple flow and they drank a lot better but they have had tummy aches and been more gassy. So I don't know if it's a matter of them getting used to it or if it's too soon. I am going to try them a couple more times and see. If it continues then I will go back.
