Sorry, a very basic question. My lo is 6 mths and just moved to bottles, how do I know which teat to use (e.g. with 1 - 4 holes in)?
Thanks

its just trial and error..when DS started getting frusted with the lenght of time it was taking I moved him up one, if they can't handle the size then they will get the milk to fast and start gagging!. Have you tried the vari flow ones?, you can then adjust the setting I found them really usefull

I agree...trial and error. I think at her age, it would probably be on the 3-4 hole..though just a guess. I used playtex bottles so my choice was always slow, medium or fast. Both of my kiddos were on the fast one at 6 months. HTH

Noelle,
Where did you get the medium nipples for the Playtex nursers? Target only carries slow, fast, and tri-cut nipples. I'd love to switch DS to a medium nipple but have not seen those in the stores.

Hmmm...I'm pretty sure it was Target. But....I had bought some when John was born (in 2002) that I hadn't opened. I know there is a different design of Playtex nursers now (I used the old ones still with Zoe)..maybe they don't do the medium anymore? How strange!! I'll look the next time I go though
I also would poke a toothpick through some of my slow nipples to make them a little bigger. Too cheap to buy new nipples
Ohhh another thought...mine were the silicone nipples? Not sure what the "orange" nipples are called but maybe they don't come in medium?
