hi folks, just curious:
i give my dd, who was breastfed til 2 weeks ago, 3 bottles a day. she loves them, is eager to drink, no problems really. but i've noticed that she spills an awful lot while she's drinking, it just squirts back out of her mouth and flows down her chin. i put a bib on her and it's completely soaked by the end of it, sometimes through to her shirt. i noticed her tongue is way forward by her lips in breastfeeding position, is that the problem? is it different for a bottle feeder?
i started out with a size 1 nipple (as in for newborns) but she was taking WAY too long (20-30 min), so we switched to size 2 but still super slow, so went to size 3 (i guess it has 3 holes on top), and she likes that one. we sort of alternate between the size 2 and 3 and sometimes use a sippy (born free hard spout - 9m+) too. she squirts like that with all three, but it's worst with the size 3 and the sippy. any ideas? is this just what it's like? or is she just inexperienced?
