For preemie moms

my son was 5 weeks early but was devolved as an 8week early baby. He is almost 3.5 months. Due to the time spent on a feeding tube and the time they needed to bottle feed him to wean him off the feeding tube he wanted nothing to do with nursing, unfortunately. So I am exclusively pumping for him.

I am debating changing the nipple on his bottle to the 3+ month nipple but don't know if it's too soon. Before trying I thought I would ask the question and see what others have done. He seems to do fine with the newborn nipples and doesn't seem to have have to work too hard for it and still eats in good time. Any inputs would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

My daughter is 4 months but still using the newborn nipple, the other are just too much for her.

My baby is still on the newborn nipple too. She has difficulty with the flow of different nipples.
