When to switch nipple type?
« on: April 19, 2010, 19:15:33 pm »
My lo is 3 months today.  ;D Do I automatically change the nipples on his bottles or wait until he acts mad like the milk isn't coming? When he first took a bottle, he would gulp so quickly that he would make himself ill- that's why I'm asking.

I waited until our lo was getting mad, she is 7 months now and we are still only on a level 2 and she is perfectly fine with it.

Like PP said, if they are drinking their normal amount happily it's fine! If they start taking longer to drink or take less of their bottles try a faster flow teat to see if it makes a difference!
