What size teat are your babies on?

Silly question but I’m just wondering when you know when or if you need to change baby’s teat on the bottle… He’s 11 weeks and using mam bottles on size 1 teat, I wasn’t sure if he should be on size 2 or not

I just googled this the other day! It says they should be changed around every 3 months and they can go to size 2 from 3 months. Didn’t even realise it was a thing until my husband asked! 🙈

@Leanne me either and I just didn’t have a clue when or if I needed to up his teat size😂 thank you!

Mines still on teat size 1 as she’s doing okay with the flow, but when she’s starts struggling on the teats then I will up the size x

My kid changed to a size 2 on Dr Brown bottles at around 9-10 weeks as he was becoming really difficult to feed, getting very frustrated and distracted. He still likes to look around at stuff but he's been much better. He is a bit bigger than average (quite a few of his 0-3 clothing was getting a bit tight so we started putting him in 3-6 month around this time) so potentially that's why he wanted the change before 3 months. He's been fine though and not had any more reflux than before.

@Debs I think I’m gonna try my boy on size 2 today.. he’s 11 weeks but he’s also been in size 3-6 since he was 10 weeks.. I’m hoping he might take more of his bottles this way x

I’ve just sized up at 11.5 weeks. Was drinking wayyyy too slow

We tried him on the size 2 teats this weekend! He wasn’t impressed at first and then his first feed he threw up 🙈 so we went back to size 1s but he’s just had a full bottle with a size 2 teat tonight so hopefully we can change him over! Have you made the change yet?
