Nipple size for Avent bottle
« on: November 30, 2005, 23:07:47 pm »
Hello!
My DD is 6.5 mo. old. I would like to try to get her used to an occasional bottle. I just don’t know much about bottles yet since DD has been ebf. I have some Avent bottles that I plan on using. Can anybody tell me what size or number nipple I should use? Thanks!

Our dd is 11 weeks old and is using the #2 nipple now.  She is also ebf. I express for the dream feed and the occasional outing.  Here's the avent website with descriptions of the nipple sizes.  Hope this helps

Thanks Kayna & Rachel! I guess I'll give the #2 a try and see how that goes. I did not know of the Avent website: Thanks for letting me know!

your letdown

can depend sometimes on your letdown....I had an overactive letdown so baby was used to it coming quickly and he would not take the Avent bottles at all.....want to buy a set.....haha :D anyhow i had to go to an alltogether different nipple and a fast flow even though he is only 3 months.....good luck



breastfed for 6 months and exclusively pumping now!!!

i think after 3 months a stage 2 works well, especially if you had a good letdown. :)
