Teats

Is anybody both breast and bottle feeding? Are you still moving up a teat size? My baby is breast and bottle fed so I’ve been advised to keep him on slowest teat. He’s now falling asleep and taking ages to finish feeds so I feel he needs moving up a size but I’m concerned it will cause issues with the breast feeding? For reference he’s currently 7 weeks old nearly 8 weeks and on size 0 teat so would move to size 1 if I went up a size. I don’t want to cause him not to want the breast as I’ve had enough issues with breastfeeding! Thanks guys x

I do both and use a mixture of size 0 and 1! He's 4 weeks and no issues

Mines 8 weeks and the same . We are on 0 but haven't moved yet. Similar question myself, I feel like he's fine on 0s so why rock the boat but are there reasons as to why we need to change x

He might be falling asleep because he's full. I wouldn't up a teat size further than 1 because he will get frustrated on the breast because the breast won't dispense as quick as the bottle! My baby falls asleep during a feed sometimes. I EBF, I tickle her chin or gently try and rouse to see if she'll continue sucking. If she doesn't I just let her sleep!

6 weeks using size 1 x

Size 0 and 1 would be fine but i wouldn't go any further my 5 week old is on 0 and 1 with breast too and his fine

@Domonique How do you mix them? Like is it certain feeds you use different teats? X

@Bethan He definitely isn’t full as he screams the place down 5 minutes later bless him 😂 x

@Sarah i tend to use size 1 during the day when out and about and size 0 for bed time feed when he's sleepy x

@Domonique That makes sense thanks x

8 weeks and dd went from feeding in half hour to 10 mins, he gets one bottle a day so when he started to get angry at it we upped the teat size to match new drinking speed!
