They are MAM anti colic bottles. I like the silk teats as my BF babes didn't like the feeling of silicone after being used to a breast. I tried to move J over to Dr Browns with no success, but i haven't tried any other with M.

Having a size 2 and 3 on hand seems sensible - just with MAM a size 2 teat is small and a size 3 bigger (to allow for their little mouths growing).

I really need variflow here don't I  ::) :P?

But yes - it has been an amazing transition for a 9 mth old  ;D ;D

Do MAM do a varilfow? I know the Avent variflow is pants.

 I just changed D to a 2 and now its collapsing but the leap from 2-3 is a biggy, with Avent anyways. It was a struggle with B and that was with thickened formula!!

 When I did the teat swap thing mid feed he took it alot better. It was a huge PITA but it was like he realised ''wait actually the 3 IS better than the 2 here!'' They get so used to guzzling so hard from a teeny hole that the greedy wee munchkins ned to reteach themselves to be more controlled!!

 M might take a change from silk to silicone better than you think. She's been a star so far.  :) :) :)

I started DD straight on a size 3 Dr Brown teat last week - took her a couple of days to stop the milk from spilling out of her mouth but she is doing well with it! Size 2 was taking her ages to drink and she was getting frustrated looking for the breast instead of the bottle!

I feel like, if I am remembering correctly, the nipple size doesn't change on the Dr. Brown's, just the hole size.
