We use the Mam bottles with a 1 or 2 flow teat, our little boy is 4 weeks and had Carobel added to his formula for reflux so it makes it’s thicker and find these work well with pace feeding 😊
It’s the teat size for thick milk it needs to be upped my girls on allergy milk with carobel thickener I use mam bottles with a size 2 teat x
Try a bigger teat size so bubba doesn’t have to work so hard. I’ve heard the anti reflux formulas are super thick x
@Amy we have started using the number 2 teat which seems to be helping but still slow going
@Abigail do you find that your little boy doesn’t struggle drinking as we are using the number 2 teat for the bottles but don’t seem to be making much difference is mam bottles better as I saw someone saying they are a nightmare to sterilise. We have the microwave steriliser so didn’t want to have to buy a new steriliser on top of new bottles
I'm sure that with those types of formula you need to use the fast teat. My little man is 4 weeks, on regular milk and has size 2 mam. 0 and 2 were too slow for him.
Tommee tippee have a vary flow test which I used for my daughter when she was on reflux milk! It seemed to work well for her as a 2 it just wasn’t fast enough and she got frustrated or fell asleep it was too slow
@Emma he doesn’t really struggle no, we found with the 1 tear he was getting annoyed because he couldn’t get it out and was crying a lot, but he’s better with a 2. We do still need to burp throughout and hold it up right for about 20 minutes after. He’ll have a bit of spit up but no where near as bad. You can sterilise them in the microwave just adding 20ml of water to the base. 😊
I use Dr Brown anticolic bottles, they are great ☺️
Have you tried changing the teat? A faster flow one might let more formula through as the holes are bigger
