Hi i know tis is probably a silly question, but when do you know when to go up a teat size for feeding? I have done it before with my first but i really cant remember how and when i knew to!
Thanks

We ignored the guidelines and just changed when she was ready for more milk. She is 12 weeks old and using a 6m+ fast flow teat as she just wasnt getting enough with the slower ones

Our midwife told us to start on Medium flow teats, which on the packaging are marked as 3+months. We tried some slow flow ones, but didn't find them any good for Bubs.

Eva is 12 days now, and seems to be feeding well from the medium flow teats.

I started with size 1, and moved up when lo was falling asleep during a bottle, or taking longer than 20 minutes to feed. HTH. xx

We also moved up a size too before the "guidelines" said on advice from HV. She was using 6 month teats from around 3 months I think xx
