Formula feeding

Does anyone else's baby take ages to finish each bottle? Mine will fall asleep or have lots of little breaks in between feeding and still only drink 2 oz. I'm just constantly feeding all day, making bottles every 2 hours which she will drink on and off for the 2 hours it's meant to be drank in.

My son mostly is breastfed but he’s like this on the bottle! I also thought bottles had to be drank in 1 hour, is it two?!

My LO was doing this. So I moved her up a teat size and now she drinks no problem and finishes 3/4oz each time ☺️. Maybe try upping the teat as they say when feeding in the day and they fall asleep it’s a sign to move up to the next size. X

@Shanika on the aptamil box it says finish within 2 hours! :) but I think the ready made bottles are 1 hour

I would suggest upping teat size too and I thought 2 hours from made but 1 hour once started x

@Leanne I tried this and she can't keep up with the number 2 teats! It spills out her mouth and she starts crying with it. I tried a few times and it was definitely quicker but she just doesn't like it! I think she might just be a really slow/lazy eater 🙈

Sizing up the nipple of the bottle will help!

@Leanne how old is your LO and what size teat are they on?

@Cheryl 10 weeks today, we’ve been on the new teat for about 3 days and can see the difference massively! ☺️ x

Ahhh maybe then! How old is your little one?

@Leanne she is 8 weeks. Hopefully I can start using the size 2 teats in a couple weeks!

@Shanika what bottles are you using?

@Vivienne Tommee tippee

@Leanne which size are you on? I’m in a similar situation and my LG is only on size 1 at 9 weeks. Wondering if I should go up to size 2 🤔

@Cheryl yeah we’re on size 2 now and she’s drinking so much better! I honestly would recommend it ☺️. My little one drinks more now and seems actually satisfied when having a bottle aha x

@Leanne oh good! Guess I’ll be buying the next size up this week then 😄 x

@Cheryl you’ll be glad you did! The first day takes getting used to as it is faster but once she knew she was a happy baby! Haha x
